Ridesharing is Caring

A Spacewalk to Remember

What made the internet angry this week? Note to space agencies: if you're advertising an 'all-female spacewalk', you better be ready to put the spacesuits where your mouth is.

Harmaduke

#What made the internet angry this week? A brief history of men knowing absolutely fucking nothing about flirting with women. Dale discovers The Mandela Effect and it's melting his mind. The Oscars happened, and they were relatively free of controversy and therefore boring as hell.

An Immodest Proposal

#What made the internet angry this week? The midterm elections have come and gone, and the #BlueWave was more of a light splash. Donald Trump, noted troop-respecter, fails to commemorate World War I.
