The escape of 43 rhesus macaque monkeys from a South Carolina lab has captured the attention of the internet. As of Sunday evening, 25 of the furry runaways have been captured, leaving 18 still on the loose. Some of the recaptured monkeys are now enjoying a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which is a testament to the fact that even monkeys appreciate the simple pleasures in life.
There is a sense of excitement among some online commentators who are rooting for the monkeys to escape, comparing their plight to the protagonists of the movie “12 Monkeys” and rooting for them to make their way to the Everglades.… Continue reading
Kim Dotcom’s impending extradition from New Zealand after a 12-year legal battle with the United States has sparked a range of emotions and memories for many. From his days as the number one Call of Duty player to the controversial rise and fall of Megaupload, Dotcom has been a polarizing figure in the realms of technology, copyright infringement, and conspiracy theories.
The allegations against Dotcom and the executives of Megaupload claim that they cost film studios and record companies hundreds of millions of dollars by encouraging users to share copyrighted material on their platform. This raises questions about the responsibility of website owners for the actions of their users, especially in the digital age where sharing and downloading content has become commonplace.… Continue reading
Strap in folks, because we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of internet conspiracies and trans panic. A seemingly innocent photo of Andrew Tate in a men’s swimsuit has set off a frenzy among the far-right, with some claiming that he is actually a woman. The reactions have been nothing short of chaotic, with accusations flying left, right, and center.
The comments range from questioning his masculinity to downright transphobic attacks, with some even suggesting that his lack of a bulge in the swimwear is somehow proof of his gender identity. It’s a bizarre and unsettling glimpse into the minds of those who are so willing to jump to conclusions based on a single photograph.… Continue reading
I woke up to the heartbreaking news that Kabosu, the Shiba Inu who inspired the iconic ‘doge’ meme and became the face of Dogecoin, has passed away at the age of 18. It’s always difficult to say goodbye to a beloved pet, especially one who played such a significant role in shaping internet culture. Kabosu will forever hold a special place in the hearts of many as the goodest girl and the ultimate meme queen.
Kabosu’s story is not just about her viral fame but also about her resilience and the power of second chances. Coming from an illegal puppy mill, she narrowly escaped euthanization at a shelter before being adopted by Atsuko Sato, a retired teacher who would become her loving owner.… Continue reading
Biden Sets Internet Alight With ‘Dark Brandon’ Super Bowl Reaction
The power of social media and the internet never fails to amaze me. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something new comes along to grab everyone’s attention and set the internet on fire. Case in point: the recent ‘Dark Brandon’ Super Bowl reaction from President Joe Biden.
Now, I don’t want to delve into the specifics of the incident or debate the merits of the reaction itself. Instead, what I find most fascinating is the way this seemingly insignificant moment sparked so much discussion and controversy online. It’s an indication of how deeply divided and polarized our society has become, and how the internet amplifies and perpetuates these divisions.… Continue reading
Too many people – especially the “free-thinkers” – don’t stay in their lane. I do not profess to have enough knowledge of immunology to read the studies and understand them. However I am in a lucky position to have access to well trained medical doctors that do have an in-depth understanding, read these studies, and are up-to-date on the latest information. I trust these experts and ask them questions to help guide my actions concerning the vaccine, wearing masks, etc. I wouldn’t trust my dentist to tell me how to fix the transmission in my car. I trust my mechanic to do that.… Continue reading
