DeNiro vs Pacino
The entire social media landscape has been thrown into a tizzy over one simple question, Who’s hotter: Young De Niro or Young Pacino? It was a simple poll put forth by frequent viral sensation, Ashley Reese. Lines were drawn, things were said, and almost everyone can provide you with a take, should you want to see one. The poll ended in a dead heat and we’re still arguing. As someone in a position of power on the internet, i.e., the ability to poll my readership, I believe I have a responsibility to ask. Who’s hotter: Young De Niro or Young Pacino?

Yeonmi Park on Joe Rogan
This meme is not about the everyday realities of the people of North Korea, Yeonmi Park, or Joe Rogan. This meme is really about complaining about where we’re from using hyper-specific gripes that only work if you’re very familiar with the place. It is a world-champion meme for complaining like a local, talking about all the things that have ruined the place we love so much. It allows us to engage in the great American past times of exaggerating for dramatic effect and complaining.
George Santos
For one brief shining moment, there was Camelot. I don’t know if we’ve seen the full end of George Santos but a change has occurred. His brief stint as a congressman is ending and he’s probably about to serve jail time. He has earned his place in culture, and now the show is about the begin. There will be a trial of some kind before we begin his post-jail Dancing with the Stars run. After that, the world. I think we may be about to witness the greatest second act in American life since the invention of the internet. This photo will live in our hearts and minds for years to come. It will be the first thing we’ll pull up when we talk about him in the future. The real beginning of his story. It will help to illustrate our point when we tell our children, George Santos used to be a politician, the way my generation was shocked to learn Reagan was an actor.
Fuck Every Name Quote Tweets
We’re running out of things to talk about.
TikTok
More and more, I feel it is nearly impossible to get out of TikTok rabbit holes. They are all consuming and fighting through the noise to get something unrelated to the topic du jour requires more work than mindless scrolling. Especially when the rabbit hole you fall down has enough content to block every whisper of something else, like Taylor Swift. I am reaching my limit. I do not care about your era’s tour outfit. I do not care about the people of Philadelphia and their 3-night experience. That goes double for Boston this weekend but it seems unavoidable. The people of New England want to see Taylor Swift. They must go on a pilgrimage to our closest big city, and I must suffer the consequences. Right now it feels like mostly a geography problem, which I understand but I pray I’ve crawled back to reality by the time she goes to New Jersey in 2 weeks. I am stuck in a week-by-week breakdown of the eras tour and have seen little else. By next week I hope to have more to report. For now, this is all I got.
That being said, I do have thoughts on her most recent relationship, so if you do want to talk about Taylor Swift, Subscribe now for tomorrow’s Mean Girl moment.
Notes App
I love Notes app tours. I need to know what everyone is writing. I’m interested in how people use theirs and organize their brains. However, I’d be lying if I said that is the main reason I’m interested. I love this trend because I have a strong desire to invade people’s privacy. I want to read your affirmations and grocery lists. I want your revolutionary ideas and your stupid questions. I want your dream journals and your rankings. I want it all simply for the pure fact of I don’t know when I’ll get another chance to see them. Keep ‘em coming. (I’d let you see mine but it’s all Meme Report drafts, so in a way, you’ve already read them!)
