STOP THE STEAL

Twitter is a place where online culture is created. That can be said of any number of social media sites, but Twitter is one that transcends the website and enters popular culture. Have you ever watched a movie and thought, “This sounds like it was written by a robot whose only exposure to humans is through Twitter discourse.” I had that exact thought while watching the 2022 movie Bodies, Bodies, Bodies , and I'm not the only one. Occasionally, tweets become so iconic that nobody ever forgets w…

There's been a lot of discourse lately about where in public children do and don't belong. The “children don't belong on planes” take has been popular for many, many years - and we just witnessed the insanity that controversial (yet semi-universal) stance can lead to. Basically, owning that opinion too passionately can land you in jail. But the contempt for kids and/or babies on planes isn't where these feelings stop. A restaurant in New Jersey

Twitter Blue is out in full force, and with that comes the Twitter Blue defenders. Many people are roasting those who've subscribed to this paid verification service, and they are getting a wee bit defensive about it. If I paid $8 a month for a practically worthless service, I, too, would get a bit defensive about it. One dude went viral for the oxymoron “I'm paying for free speech.” Others exalt the new feature as a way to find community and boost your tweets. Unfortunately, having a blue chec…

Not that kind

Twitter verification is among the few things the bird website ever did right. People try to impersonate celebrities online constantly, and verification used to be an easy way to ensure someone was who they said they were. Unfortunately, Elon Musk is now the owner of Twitter, and he got mad that journalists he disagreed with had the same blue check that he did. So, he introduced Twitter Blue so ordinary people could buy a Twitter verification for $8 a month. Everybody roasted it for the stupid i…

Outrageous

I've been on Twitter for longer than any reasonable person should be on Twitter. I definitely had an account before I turned 13, and I've been tweeting up a storm ever since. I was especially obsessed with tweeting when I was in high school. Not to brag, but I was featured on my school's student news for having one of the funniest Twitter accounts at our school. Slow news day, I know, but it was impressive at the time. When I look back at those old tweets, I cringe like there's no tomorrow. I c…

Looks like wedding bells are going to be ringing for Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi (yes, the son of Bon Jovi). The announcement was shared on the starlet's Instagram early this morning, and it came complete with Taylor Swift lyrics. It may seem like yesterday Millie was, well, 11. But time flies and now she's the ripe old age of 19. Honestly, the inclusion of the lyrics prove it. While at age 19 you can drink and smoke cigarettes legally in many countries, fight a war in the United State…

There are a lot of celebrity look-alikes that are well-established and highly documented. Everybody knows that Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood look like brothers. There are ten million actresses who have Margot Robbie vibes, most notably Samara Weaving. However, there are a lot of celebrities who look like each other that we don't tend to acknowledge. There are many reasons for this. Someone who's a fan of Megan Thee Stallion might not always know who Veronica Lake is and vice versa, making th…
