Political Memes

In this society full of instant dopamine hits, many of us have been trained to expect novelty at every twist and turn. We want things that give us our allotted dose of gratification to be fresh and unexpected, or at least we tend to think that way. However, there’s something to be said for a…

If you’ve spent any time looking at memes over the last decade, chances are you’ve come across a starter pack meme. According to the experts at Know Your Meme,  starter pack memes are “a series of multi-panel photo sets meant to illustrate the archetype of a celebrity, company or subculture through a recommended selection of…

Greetings, internet users and abusers. It’s Thursday, January 26th, and today feels just like any other. I got up, got out of bed, dragged a comb (brush) across my head. I opened up my ThinkPad and went to Twitter.com like I do every day from Monday to Friday. As per usual, I almost immediately closed…

OK, we get it now. You like to look at memes, and lots of ’em, as many times per day as possible. Out of all the addictions you could have, it’s not the worst. If you’re nursing any others alongside this time-wasting hobby, my condolences. The point is, you have become accustomed to spending at…

The political rants, the TMI moments from oversharing individuals, the banal stories from bad or annoying…
