A real head scratcher

Bear with me, but does one bear it all or bare it all? And speaking of bears, if a bear pays me a compliment, can I complement his compliment with a compliment? Or would that negatively affect the intended effect? The English language is full of cruel tricks. There are many examples of English words that have totally different meanings and yet are nearly the same, sometimes only distinguished by a single letter. Proofreader @chronicleflask recently tried to demystify the English language in an…

Everybody hurts

If there was an award for “cringe of the week,” it would undoubtedly go to Randi Zuckerberg, who recently posted a “rallying cry for the women of web3” in the form of an atrocious music video set to the tune of Twisted Sister's “We're Not Gonna Take It.” A decade ago, I sang this song on Broadway. Today I sing this song, surrounded by new friends, as a rallying cry for the women of web3. Together, we can accomplish anything. And have fun doing it! #WAGMI PS Look for some fun cameos! PPS Sorry f…

Look. We know that a lot of people love Disney. As a kid, you're basically trained to want to go to one of their tricked out amusement parks. You want to see Goofy's goofiness up close, meet a princess in a floofy gown, and stand in line for over an hour with your disgruntled parents who would rather be drinking. After a while you grow up, and while you do want to go to Disneyland for some rides, you also want to spend more time at the Trader Sam's tiki bar, drinking until you get into an explo…

Do people still use the word ‘bling’ to describe flashy jewelry? Or are we saying ‘drip’ now? Whatever the terminology, Floyd Mayweather was sporting it at the Heat vs. Spurs game in Miami this past weekend. His excessive and excessively thick chains may have even been wearing him. At least that's what the fashion police of the internet are saying. Floyd 😂 pic.twitter.com/1hAV3LFWNi — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) February 27, 2022 Bleacher Report tweeted a still of Mayweather at the game,…

Oh, the humanity!

Just a bunch of funny tweets

An expert scammer.

Mansplaining is not a new phenomenon. We're willing to bet that for as long as women and men could speak, that men were more than happy (or even inclined) to color themselves experts on a subject and trap women into long diatribes about something that they either know about or don't care to know about. The latest hobby or area of interest for the incellular (we made that word up) ‘nice guys’ of the internet is NFTs. Non-fungible tokens and profile pictures featuring them have taken over Twitter…

Greetings. It is TWOsday the 22nd of February, 2022, and depending on where you are in the world, it very well may be 22:22 as you read this. Wouldn't that be something? Today's date is both an ambigram and a palindrome (unless you're in America), which means the date is perfectly symmetrical and can be read from left to right and upside-down. But the fun doesn't end today. February 2022 is an entire month of palindromic dates for anyone who uses the dd/mm/yy format. The last palindrome date us…

This is some next level BS

There's something palpably disgusting yet utterly riveting about watching rich, privileged people talking about their “everyday” lives. With the advent of social media, the regular old plebs of the world now have the opportunity to really see how the other half lives. Social media is a lot more revealing than shots from a rabid paparazzo, despite the fact that they can reveal a carefully curated view of the subject's existence. That colorful and impeccably composed acai bowl sitting atop an inf…

No one wants to read and Google

Over the weekend, travel blogger @OneMileataTime posed an interesting question on Twitter: “Should flight attendants be paid during boarding?” The implications of such a question sparked debates all over Twitter and Reddit. Many were dumbfounded by the fact that only paying flight attendants for the time they spend in the air is common practice in the United States.
