Spotify dropped its yearly Wrapped feature on Wednesday, November 30th this year, and though it's only been available for two days, the memes and tweets just keep on coming. The yearly event provides users with a cute little slideshow of their listening data. It's only available on the app, and is predictably flashy in its design so that users will be compelled to share all their darkest music-listening secrets on other apps. This year, my Wrapped wasn't exactly embarrassing, but it wasn't “coo…

We are living in the golden age of comedy murder mysteries with an ensemble cast . Particularly the Knives Out cinematic universe and the HBO series, The White Lotus . It seems like everyone wants these movies and shows (respectively) to go on forever with an ever-rotating cast of characters, keeping Daniel Craig and Jennifer Coolidge employed forever. I definitely have some opinions about who I'd like to stay at a White Lotus location next. My list includes, but is not limited to, Patti Harris…

As Mrs. Peacock once said, “Well, someone's got to break the ice, and it might as well be me. I mean, I'm used to looking through memes; it's part of my husband's work. And it's always difficult when a group of new friends meet (to scroll through 30 hilarious images) together for the first time to get acquainted. So I'm perfectly prepared to start the ball rolling. I could start reading the memes out loud if you'd like. Or perhaps, I could pass them around in an orderly fashion. Whatevers going…

Today is the day we've all been waiting for. Today nosy people can finally definitively know what music has been playing in their friends' and acquaintances' headphones over the last 11 months. Today's the day when you remember why you're not paying $9.99 for Apple Music. Today is Spotify Wrapped Release Day. Every year, Spotify gives you stats on all of the abjectly embarrassing music you've been jamming to since January. It tells you your top songs and artists and even curates a playlist of y…

Now that the gluttony and ritual of Thanksgiving have come and gone, 'tis finally the season for indulging in Hallmark Christmas/holiday movies. Now, I understand that many of you may consider the “films” (if you can call them that) a low form of entertainment. But gosh darn it, they are predictable! There are not many tropes that compare when it comes to formulaicity, a

Oh my god. I can't believe it's already Sunday night. After a four day weekend, the aptly named “ Sunday Scaries ” feel extra terrifying. It's been a glorious stretch of time spent, well, doing anything but work. While those of you who are not stateside may have had a different experience, the past few days have been a lazy whirlwind of food comas, hangovers, and lots and lots of “Turkey Day” leftovers. Turkey sandwiches. Big pots of turkey soup. Wine mouth that cannot be scrubbed off if I trie…

Some astute observations in here.

RIP 2023 babies

Remember to drink responsibly.

Getting older is weird for a lot of reasons, but feeling nearly illiterate where Internet slang is concerned has gotta be up there, at least for me. While being online pretty much 24/7 is kind of my job, I'm still not hip to (or happy about) what kids these days are saying on social apps or even in regular conversation. It feels like people started saying GOAT years ago to describe something that is some variation of “greatest of all time,” but using “goated” as a verb is definitely a more rece…

This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a Pop Crave announcement. Last night, chaos erupted on Twitter dot com. Several sources reported that Twitter insiders claimed the public version of the app might not last for longer than a week. Since Elon Musk took over the company and began firing huge numbers of employees, the future of the website has become increasingly uncertain. Brands, advertisers, and longtime Twitter users began ditching their a…

Listen, I know that TikTok might appear to be the work of pure evil for the uninitiated. After all, any social media platform primarily populated by teenagers is bound to include some insane hot takes that possibly should've never seen the light of day. I do think that young people, particularly minors on TikTok, need to learn that it's okay not to share graphic and insanely personal details about their lives online. In fact, I might even highly recommend they not do that. Your middle school co…

I just absolutely love waking up each day, wondering how the hell Elon Musk will manage to screw Twitter up more than he already has. And by screw it up, we kind of mean make it better. Because while some people may think they're tired, the parody accounts are simply killing it lately. And by killing it, we kind of (definitely) mean causing predatory companies to lose a f*ck ton of money. Anyway. We know that not everyone enjoys watching annoying people freak out about the inevitable demise of…

Twitter Blue has arrived

She got more than she bargained for
