Who hasn’t accidentally unleashed a real-life biblical plague in their home before, really? Chris Ingraham is a reporter for The Washington Post and on Twitter recently recounted quite an amazing tale involving a shipment of live crickets intended to feed the bearded lizard he adopted. To be sure, Chris’s recounting of the incident that unfolded is quite […] More
Oh, don’t worry. This post isn’t going to be overly political, and I know that sadly antisemitism can foment anywhere on the political spectrum. But, seriously, when I tell you that a woman in Cleveland was a doctor at a clinic for a few months and said on social media she’d be willing to give […] More
The holiday shopping and shipping season has come to an end. With what we’re going to show you now, it’s important to remember that during that time of year, everyone who is responsible for getting your package from Point A to Point B is working harder than they do the rest of the year, and […] More
A group that calls themselves the “Death List Committee” has put out its annual list of celebrities and rank them according to who is more likely to die in the coming year. According to their website, 2017 was a record year with 17 of the people on their list passing away. For the purposes of […] More
Nuance. It’s a hell of a drug. Over the weekend, audio leaked from a set comprised of some material that non-consensual masturbatory icon and also comedian Louis CK was working out. The blow back online from what was heard was pretty instantaneous, and probably put Louis in an even deeper public relations grave. Then again, […] More
We’ve all been around someone who becomes the smartest person in the room when they’re drunk. What the world be like if there weren’t people who get sauced and pontificate? Many of us have probably assumed for years that was just a part of the whole drinking experience, and that one of the side effects […] More
Not everyone who uses the Internet to go onto social media platforms argues. It just feels that way, and if you’ve seen enough Internet arguments, you know that most people kinda/sorta suck at it. Or at the very least most of us — myself most definitely included — could use a little (or a lot) […] More
Things are quite heady these days on a lot of fronts. Our country seems polarized politically, economically, and socially like never before, and now the Internet may have given us the most explosive, potentially divisive issue to date. Did Grover the Muppet say “fuck” on “Sesame Street?” Yes, that’s right, in a world where refugee […] More
Given what (and who) Bob Mueller is investigating, when HuffPo reported that a court filing may have revealed the investigation somehow obtained a “nude selfie,” it’s odd that the entire Internet wasn’t flooded with vomit. Predictably, though, Twitter is all abuzz about it. In a court filing Thursday, a Russian company indicted early this year referred to a “nude […] More
When one goes out to eat, there is hardly ever a chance for “sticker shock.” Being surprised by what you’re going to see on your bill at a restaurant is all but impossible because menus are almost always provided, and each menu will usually give you an itemized breakdown for what you can expect to […] More
In the coming weeks and months, an international argument over whale hunting may heat back up. According to The New York Times, Japan’s government has signaled that it will officially withdraw itself from an international coalition, effectively resuming the practice of commercial whaling. Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, said the country would leave the International Whaling Commission, […] More
The considered opinion of the world’s top intelligence agency is that the Russian government had meddled in several elections, most famously in 2016. In that year’s closely contested election between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the Kremlin chose the former and, according to both domestic and foreign intelligence agencies, tried to put their thumb on […] More
