The paranormal world is a pretty big part of pop culture . It overlaps with the horror genre (the unexplainable, to most people, is pretty damn terrifying), and has been the basis for (or a topic on) sixty eight reality television series. People live for ghost stories, tales of UFO sightings and abductions, and somehow, are really interested in Bigfoot. I know some folks who shell out hundreds of dollars on psychics, and hold seances in earnest. If I hadn't heard a ghost story from an entire fa…

“Problematic or awkward jokes? I can't really tell…”

This week on Twitter has been an eventful one. From DALL-E simulated AI images taking over, to the terrifying Human Meatball , Twitter has been chock full of absurd and hilarious content. Sometimes there's so much content that the best stuff is easy to miss, and when you miss it, you can feel like it's gone forever. That's where we come in. You don't have to miss anything just because your crazy work week gets in the way of catching all of the best posts. Check out the funniest tweets of the we…

What is a softboi ? If you've ever received a flirty unsolicited message from someone who speaks in platitudes, drops backhanded compliments that simultaneously flatter and insult, or talks at length about how "different" they are, then you likely already know. Thanks to @beam_me_up_softboi 's archive of weird DMs from pick-up artists, sapiosexuals, and self-proclaimed ' nice guys ,' we've amassed a very cringe compilation of receipts that prove how low softbois can go.

This seems very on brand for Walmart.

Karen, Karen, Karen . What are we going to do with you? Are you okay? What happened in your life to make you this angry? Let's try something out. I want you to close your eyes and take a deeeeeeeeeeeep deep deep deep ( deep) breath. Now imagine you've just arrived at your favorite brunch spot ten minutes before closing. The place is packed full of fellow Karens, but the host manages to find a table for you and your six friends. They could have declined to seat you, but they did anyway. Isn't th…

That's enough now

Well, that escalated quickly…

Many moons ago, when I was an internet-addicted high school student, I would see people with beautiful Livejournal layouts, profile photos, and backgrounds. Most were painstakingly created in Photoshop , dappled with effects that range from artfully old and coffee stained to seemingly glowing from within. The artists responsible would usually take commissions, either in the form of actual money or via trades. I could never afford such a luxury. Instead I became friends with other fan fiction en…
