Twitter got a new main character yesterday. Writer Hanna Rosin went viral for her bad take in this now-deleted tweet. The movie in question, Fire Island , is a romantic comedy based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice which follows a group of friends traveling to the titular gay vacation destination of Fire Island. Fans of the movie mocked Rosin for her take that a film about Asian gay men needed to pass the Bechdel test to have any merit. Some feminist film fans use the Bechdel test to determ…

Working from home can be a blessing. You spend less time commuting and more time with your loved ones. However, people who work outside a typical office are sometimes accused of wasting time and lying about their productivity, which is exactly what happened in this viral TikTok.

Are you a fake fan? Did you get into a musician or artist because they were featured in something popular? Are you a sicko like that?

It's plain to see why, all you have to do is compare inflation and the growth in median rents to the growth in median income over time. In today's economy, "wo…
