These days, going on the internet often feels like you're stuck in a machine specifically designed to make you have a bad time . The algorithm shows you content guaranteed to make you mad; sure enough, you read it, get angry, and post about it more, feeding into the monster. One would think that eventually, you'd have a bad enough time just to quit these hostile social media platforms altogether, but the anger they induce gets addicting. It is fun to be outraged, especially when you're outraged…

Another “wholesome” man who loves his wife has been exposed as a no-good, dirty rotten cheater. Allegedly. Ned from the web series The Try Guys has come under fire for ALLEGEDLY cheating on his wife. For the uninitiated, The Try Guys are a group of four guys (Eugene, Keith, Ned, and Zach) who try various things, such as a new food, an activity, or some kind of a challenge. They make videos documenting their experience trying said thing, and everyone has a grand old time. With the series beginni…

It's been a long day, and you've done so much. You've accomplished what many people have failed at: continuing to be alive. Whether you spent that day ignoring your chores and watching Frasier reruns or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for the second time, you deserve a nice long sleep. Whether the night is young or elderly, you can get some shut-eye . But not just yet. After all, you need to accomplish at least one last thing before you go to bed. Why not consume a story? Consuming a story might ver…

Expanding the definition

Let's be real for a second…consuming memes typically does not take a lot of brain power. Sure, some of them have words, but most have such a negligible amount of words that reading them barely counts as “reading.”

Lea Michele can't read. At least that's what everybody has been aledging about the former Glee star for the past couple of years. The conspiracy theory began when a YouTuber made an hours-long conspiracy video documenting his theory that Lea Michele never learned to read. The illiteracy rumors have recently increased in popularity since Lea Michele was cast in the Broadway musical Funny Girl. She began her run as Fanny Brice on September 4th but sadly tested positive for COVID soon afterward, f…

Nearly everyone loves the Avengers movies. There are few blockbusters that have been able to pull numbers like Marvel flicks can. Although Avatar still holds the belt for highest-grossing movie of all time, Avengers: Endgame is a very close second, and 3 of the top 10 highest-grossing movies are Avengers titles. We love watching superheroes use the world's metropolises as their playgrounds. "The more destruction the better" we think to ourselves from the comfort of reclined theater seats while…

Sometimes memes get so incomprehensible that you need to pull back layers and layers of context even to explain them to an outsider. Lisa Rinna M&M is one of those memes. This meme started with an Academy Awards advertising campaign from 2008, which features Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna and Joey Fatone on the red carpet rendered as horrifying M&Ms . Why are they M&Ms? Why do they look like that? Only God knows. This year, the Lisa Rinna M&M has begun to pop up in various memes on Twitter and…

Back in seventh grade I didn't have many friends. Another thing I lacked was any kind of allowance. My mom gave me $1 a day for school lunch, while the other kids were able to walk around the neighborhood with five big ones, buying pizza or doughnuts for their lunch. Some girls would even make the trek to CVS or Rite Aid and spend their ample “lunch” money on makeup. Because I wasn't blessed with cash, I started stealing. First I stole ice cream from the crowded delis at lunch hour. Then it was…

That was quick

It's been another busy week on our dying planet Earth. And we've been watching the madness unfold on Twitter. There have been loads of posts, both tasteful and tasteless about September 11th. We're still grappling with the hubbub that has followed the death of Queen Elizabeth II , and those tweets probably won't be stopping until well after her Monday funeral. But more enjoyable than users reporting about current events are the fun tweets that poke fun at the current events, and the tweets that…

Nick Cannon is still “Wild 'N Out”

Bon appétit

The golden age of parents on Twitter lying about the esoteric things their young children say has long passed us. Back in the ancient time of 2016, parents were obsessed with tweeting things like, "My son came up to me and said ‘Papa, I have a childlike solution to great economic and social problems that will be incredibly easy to go viral through the retweets of easy to trick rubes.’"

It's Meme Time . I don't care what time of the day it is: if you are reading this at press time, it is that special time of the day when you're going to look at some memes whether you want to or not. Meme Time is a lot like the recent social media phenomenon BeReal . On BeReal, you get prompted by your phone every day to take a picture of what you're doing; insta worthy or not. The notification will go off during random and different times of the day, so you never know when it's time to BeReal.…

It's been a pretty wild week on Twitter. Whenever a momentous event happens, it's as though the already spastic site goes into beast mode. By that we mean that it seems everyone has an opinion or a joke (or maybe seven) regarding the matter, and they're frothing at the mouth to share them. This was definitely the case following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, which happened as the Don’t Worry Darling drama and discourse was ramping up. Fortunately for us, there are people tweeting material tha…
