We just bought a new car, and I’m still riding that new car high. Everything about it is fresh and exciting. There’s even still a faint trace of that new car smell, and I’m constantly looking for excuses to take it out for a spin ("Oh look, the milk carton is almost halfway empty—better go to the store to get another one"). Our old car, in contrast, had reached the “I’m annoyed with everything about this piece of junk” phase. Don’t get me wrong—there was absolutely nothing wrong with the car, o…

Geronimo!

Federico Mauro is a celebrated Italian artist known for his ability to create striking, minimalist art with profound meaning. In 2013, he released a series called " Famous Guns, " where he compiled and showcased iconic weapons from history, pop culture, and cinema . This unique collection highlights pistols and guns that belong to legendary characters such as John Wayne, Tony Montana, James Bond, Han Solo, and even Jack Sparrow. Mauro's work transcends a simple homage to firearms; it delves int…

It's easy to forget just how beautiful our planet really is, especially when you are a human being, living his/her life in a city, spending too much time in front of excel sheets and web browsers. “You need to touch grass” is what my kid says every time i complain about all the chores i need to do around the clock to keep the house running. And he isn't wrong - we all need a little more nature in our lives. But sometimes all you really need is just a fresh perspective to re-appreciate how absol…

I would have made a wonderful scientist if I could only do math, understand complex ideas, concentrate for several hours and, in general, just be smarter. This might sound like a joke but I really believe that. I feel like I have a real passion for science, but I lack the actual tools a person needs to be a scientist. It's all nice and well to retain your natural curiosity into your adulthood, which is absolutely one of the requirements for being a scientist, but it's nothing if you cant sit do…

You want to know how long Lord of the Rings memes have been popular? Well, you might think they started with the rise of social media, when people began posting and sharing memes on their timelines, but it actually began much earlier. We’re talking while the movies were still in theaters. Return of the King came out in December 2003, and by January 2004, we already had our first big meme template that had caught the attention of most internet users—“One does not simply." This was quickly

"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The memelord? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. he's a meme legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the meme, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the Internet culture to create jokes… He had such a knowledge of the meme side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from having the sad. The meme side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be… hilarious. He became so powe…

I like Star Wars, but I also like Star Trek, and of course Harry Potter, and Marvel, and also DC Comics, and Lord of the Rings , and Game of Thrones, and Doctor Who, and Dungeons and Dragons, and obviously The Witcher, but also Pokémon, and Zelda, and Super Mario, but also Dragon Ball, and Naruto, and Stranger Things, and I like The Mandalorian, and Battlestar Galactica, and let's not forget Firefly, and Halo. I also enjoy Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Matrix…

A book a day keeps the doctor away.

We love Pokémon, and we love Disney, so this crossover is straight up our alley! Talented artist “Ry-Spirit” reimagined 47 Disney characters as Pokémon, complete with their evolution stages, types, and fun descriptions. Each Disney character goes through an evolution, just like in the Pokémon world, growing more powerful and quirky with each stage. Take Daisy Duck, for example, who starts off as Dai , evolves into DaiSy , and finally becomes Dai-Z , a sassy and bold fairy/flying type. This cros…

What kind of a monster would do this?

I wonder if the Hobbit trilogy will have the same sort of reception the Star Wars prequels had. Think about it—We have one perfect trilogy that everyone loves; a trilogy that changes cinema and raises an entire generation of fans. Followed by a second trilogy that is much less well received, and even gets a lot of undeserved hate (because everything today has to be the best thing or the worst thing ever). Both are by the same director (who was somewhat unknown during the first trilogy and then…

Here is my theory: right before I was born, there was a meeting of my entire generation where the creator of the universe sat everyone down and explained in very simple terms how to manage your life . I have no idea what I was doing at the time, but I know I missed that meeting. Everyone got the illustrated guide filled with pro-tips about how to manage life, and I was probably off somewhere (along with some of you guys) doing something less constructive. And now I'm just going along day by day…

Yes, it's still September, but we can't wait for Halloween—our favorite time of the year . We don't know who the genius was that decided Halloween should be the creepiest time of year (and we're too tired to Google it), but we're so happy they did! Our house is already getting more and more black and orange with every passing day as we find ourselves buying every Halloween decoration we can get our hands on. We still haven't decided on a costume yet, but it's not because of a lack of ideas; on…
