Political Memes

If there is one factor that unites all the most dedicated gamers in the world, it’s that they will stop at almost nothing to make sure they can play their favorite titles. With PC gamers, this often involves putting their rig through the ringer. It doesn’t matter if the thing is forever threatening to overheat,…

You can’t claim to love Disney if you don’t love its failures, too. It’s easy to say you love Snow White, 101 Dalmations, and similar iconic characters that have stood the test of time, but it’s much more difficult to be a devoted fan of The Black Cauldron. Beyond the failures of the movie studio…

One thing I admire about Reddit is that it is the definition of having range. In the time it takes to have a casual browsing session, you can come across helpful advice, top-tier s***posting, and confessions of the deepest, darkest secrets of random strangers. It’s a place that knew the value of storytelling long before…

The politics behind children’s sports teams are more complicated than the political systems of most nations. Take a bunch of parents with varied interests, interpersonal drama of their own, and a desire to live vicariously through their children, and you have a recipe for drama. That’s why shows like Dance Moms and Toddlers and Tiaras make for such riveting television. They feature…

Well, it’s official. After what seems like a lifetime of umming and ahhhing on the topic of whether TikTok should be allowed to rampage unabated through the land of the free, President Biden has signed into law that parent company ByteDance has a matter of months to sell up or get their influential app banned…

You’d be surprised by the number of people who start rock climbing because they’re afraid of heights. While it may be hard to believe, it’s the second most popular reason that anyone ever considers walking into a climbing gym (the first being the incessant peer pressure of a climber friend nagging about how ‘you’d love…

Nobody has a crystal ball (except maybe the creators of The Simpsons). But it sure is fun to make guesses about what might come to pass. I remember doing that a lot when I was graduating high school- trying to guess what would become of myself and my classmates. Would Josh grow up to be…

It’s kind of strange how people acted like TikTok was some kind of anomaly when it first became popular. In a lot of ways, it’s just a convoluted mix of many platforms that came before it—Vine and YouTube in the format, with Twitter, Tumblr, and even Reddit influencing the content.  It goes without saying that…

I am willing to admit I harbor nostalgia for the 2000s. It’s only natural for someone to look at the decade where they were under 12 years old for the whole of it with some rose-colored glasses. I’m aware that for most adults, the 2000s were not the most peaceful and fun time of their…
