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…

You know what’s hilarious? The irony of dad jokes . When we were kids, every groan-worthy pun or cheesy one-liner our dads cracked was met with the most dramatic eye roll we could muster. And yet, here we are today, as parents, proudly dishing out the same terrible jokes to our own kids. Why? Because deep down, we always thought they were funny! The cringe wasn’t about the jokes—it was about who was telling them. Admit it, you’re still rolling your eyes when your own dad pulls out another "clas…

Being witty is better than being correct.

Lately, my 10-year-old son started playing Dungeons and Dragons with some kids from school. Needless to say, I’m incredibly proud and happy to see a new generation continuing this great tradition. However, I recently had the chance to sit in the kitchen and eavesdrop on their session in the living room, and I have to say—they play the game very differently than my generation (Gen X) ever did. These kids are really getting into it. They leap out of their chairs every few seconds and mime everyth…

Nerdiness is a hell of a drug . Once you try one science fiction movie and like it, it's impossible to stop. One of your friends suggests you give Star Wars a try, and a week later, you are binge-watching Battlestar Galactica and buying Star Trek Funko Pops. You read one chapter of Lord of the Rings, and you suddenly find yourself knee-deep in a Dungeons and Dragons session with a bunch of sweaty, role-playing nerds . Also, your very definition of what is cool changes completely. You used to th…

There’s something endlessly fascinating about Disney villains—they’re bold, memorable, and somehow manage to steal the spotlight from the heroes. But before these iconic characters ever graced the screen, they started as sketches and ideas on an artist’s drawing board. From the terrifyingly sleek Maleficent to the larger-than-life Ursula, Disney villains went through some dramatic transformations from concept art to final film design, and seeing those changes side-by-side is like watching the m…

Being witty is better than being correct.

The world is full of unforgettable villains, and one Redditor recently asked a compelling question: Which fictional villain do you feel a bit of compassion for, and why? The thread quickly filled with responses, ranging from thoughtful explanations to some unexpectedly sympathetic choices. Many people felt for the eternally unlucky Wile E. Coyote, whose endless efforts always seem to end in disaster. Others mentioned Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb , with his hilariously tragic backstor…

Spoiler alert: he dies.

Time stops for no one, not even for the rich and famous. One day you are a teenager goofing around in front of the camera in your parents living room, and the next moment you are one of the richest people on earth. One second you are nervous about taking your yearbook photo and the next you have become a rock and roll legend. It's fun to look back at old pictures of famous people and see them as they were before their life had become something else entirely. A young Martha Stewart posing for a…

The spiral has twisted our souls.

This listicle is so Punny!

I'll be honest with you - I don't have a single tattoo on my body. It's not that I have anything against inking; I actually love tattoos and find them interesting, creative, and beautiful. The reason I don't have one (or two or thirteen) is because I am scared. Not scared of the pain or of being disappointed with the final result (although I am not thrilled about those aspects either). No, what I am scared of is outgrowing my tattoos. The fact is that I am not the same person I was thirty years…

The heavy wooden door creaks open slowly. Faint orange light spills from behind it. As the door fully opens, you stand at the entrance of a vast, ancient hall. The space is dusty and draped with cobwebs, exuding a distinct musky scent that suggests the hall has remained sealed for a considerable time. Yet, curiously, all the torches and candles remain lit. Dominating the room is a grand marble table, encircled by eight chairs. Each appears as pristine as the day they were crafted, devoid of dus…

There are two kinds of scary Halloween costumes: the “I’m dressed as a serial killer or a monster, and you must be afraid of me” kind, and the “Oh god, why is that baby mask looking into my soul? I will never sleep again” kind. I have always found that costumes not intended to scare me are much creepier than those that are obviously trying to frighten me. It seems that in the past, ALL costumes fell into the first category. I personally remember how in the '80s, every kid's mask during Hallowee…
