A tweet from user @MJohnsonFTW has gone unexpectedly viral recently due to some Netflix shenanigans. Like most streaming platforms, Netflix is set up to allow multiple simultaneous users from one account; 2 at once for a standard plan, 4 at once for premium. It also allows for up to 5 profiles to keep different users’ preferences and tastes...
When we think of nostalgia, we generally go back in our minds to the types of media we consumed when we were younger; movies, TV, music, books, etc. But what about the things we literally consumed? The foods and drinks that were once staples of our lives and then one day just stopped showing up on shelves? That’s the type of thing you just...
There are two types of people in this world; those who love Star Trek and those who are wrong. Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek , were an optimistic view of the future; a vision of what humankind could accomplish when we left greed and misery behind and embraced science, cooperation, exploration, diplomacy, and tolerance. Oh, and there’s...
It’s easy to get sucked in by a heartstring-pulling photo on the internet – even if, or maybe especially if – you don’t have any confirmed context for them. But remember, there’s likely something going on that you don’t know. Consulting with a person or a resource with knowledge on a subject that you lack is the...
Everybody gets scam messages now and then. Spam calls about free vacations we’ve apparently won, emails demanding our passwords, robo-dialers claiming there’s a warrant out for our unpaid taxes, Disney assuring us the next Star Wars movie will be good, the world of scams is all around us. But most of us don’t bother interacting...
Tired of reading about current events? So am I. I prefer my media filtered through hilarious Twitter perspectives, thank you very much. No matter how weird things get, Twitter is always there with a combination of social observations and hilariously poignant peeks into the lives of strangers that just keep you scrolling through for more. Here is a...
Have you ever just been single for so long that you forget that there are any other options? If so, a lot of us can relate. The internet has revolutionized the dating world, but it has also revolutionized the griping-about-not-being-able-to-make-the-dating-world-work…world. Sometimes that manifests itself in pretty toxic ways, other times,...
They say that the grass is always greener on the other side. When you’re in a relationship, you can sometimes feel stuck. When you’re single, you can feel pretty lonely. The big difference is that when you’re single, people laugh at your pain. So that’s fun! But the ultimate redeeming irony of it all is that even though...
Here’s a fun and slightly horrifying fact: in 2019, of the top 10 highest grossing films worldwide, 9 were made/owned by Disney. The only exception being Joker, which was produced by Warner Brothers, a company Disney does not own – yet. The rate at which Disney has acquired properties and companies has been astounding, turning it...
The Disney Princess has become a sort of archetype all her own, distinct even from the more generic “fairy tale princess.” Because when Disney gets its hands on a heroine, they’re shaping her not just for storytelling, but for mass marketability, and the cultural impact has been enormous. I recently came across – I kid you...
