Will Teachers Ever Forgive Us for What We’ve Put Them Through?

I don't know how teachers can ever forgive us, or why they even should.

All The Cool Things You May Have Missed While Mesmerized by Lil Nas X’s Album Cover Reveal

Almost three years after rapper/singer Lil Nas X independently released his viral hit Old Town Road, we are finally getting a full album. Good art takes time and everything we've seen in his upcoming debut full-length, and self-titled album "Montero" reminds us of that fact.

Who Exactly Is the DC Movies’ Wonder Woman?

Wonder Woman 1984

One question that was certainly raised in the discourse between WW84 and The Snyder Cut is one key thing—where does Wonder Woman stand on killing?

Things We Saw Today: Happy Birthday Michael Keaton!

Michael Keaton, star of Batman, Beetlejuice, Birdman, but most importantly Johnny Dangerously turned 70 today! The living legend has a role in the new Morbius film due out 2022 and will be donning the cape once again as Bruce Wayne/The Bat in the upcoming The Flash solo film for DC. And now I must sit and contemplate my own mortality while I digest the fact that Keaton is seventy years old. Happy Birthday sir!

Aquaman Takes a Dip Into the Dark Side With New Suit

Jason Momoa revealed Aquaman's new look this morning via Instagram while filming the sequel (Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom) ahead of its December 2022 release date. Aquaman is known for the bright gold and emerald green of his iconic one piece so this change to a broodier, more somber color palette might spell big emotional or thematic changes now that Arthur has been ruling the waves.

Beloved actor and Twitter's favorite dad Mandy Patinkin has (thanks to his son) given us another delightful peak into their lives. This time we learn that Patinkin has a specific ritual with his dog that he wants to maintain while he is away on his trip: singing prayers before her meal.

This Tired Middle Finger Mask is All of Us

The sad, tired, almost dead eyes. The slumping shoulders. The finger meant to extend in an angry gesture of defiance is slightly deflated. The grimace that is indicative of both a snarl and a yawn. Any hint of facial expression has been worn down into a smooth, slightly greasy finish. The veins that run down the face like scars. This middle finger mask discovered by DesignTaxi on Amazon should be the stuff of nightmares - an absolutely cursed image - but I have much more distressing news.

Meng’er Zhang and the History of the Bad Bitch Bob

She has the ultimate science-fiction bob. The bad bitch bob. The blunt bangs and sharp A-line edges that tell you she is going to kick your ass, take your empire for herself, and she won’t even smudge her lipstick. The smooth order of the bob belies her true chaotic neutral alignment. Sometimes she fights for the good guys, and sometimes the bad, her only allegiance is to herself. She is the femme fatale of the sci-fi realm.

Time to Fight About ‘Birthday Adults’

That’s right, we are going to talk about “Birthday Adults.” In 2019 (which in internet time was approximately 57 years ago), Katie Hearney wrote a scathing, humorous take down of people who celebrate “birthday weeks” or worse, “birthday months” for The Cut. And because New York Magazine (much like Marie Kondo) loves mess, they decided to stir the pot and re-share the article. The results were… not surprising.
