Know your slang: “Lit” is short for “literature.” It means “cool,” reflecting kids’ belief that literature is cool.
This is why you’ll sometimes hear kids saying “that’s so literature.”

Why are streaming services SO allergic to putting their episode release schedule...anywhere? It shouldn't be a chore to find out when to tune in

I live in a hip, progressive neighborhood where there are always volunteers from Greenpeace or some other organization standing on the street wanting to talk to you about causes and it gets so old having to shout "I ALREADY AGREE WITH YOU AND DO THINGS" as you try to run your little errands

I am working on a bunch of back to back creative projects right now and I love it and it's great except I'm also taking a t-break and I was worried that not getting high about it would dent my flow. But I slept on some taglines and woke up with allll the ideas. It's going to be ok, y'all.

I can't with the irony that there's a commercial about how being rich is knowing what you have...paired with Gossip Girl.

Listening to a lot of '80s East Coast hip hop for work project and this is generally not my area but already it is staggeringly apparent how much Justin Timberlake ripped off Tka

The media has spent so long both-sidesing that if you describe the Republicans' stated goals and policies in strictly factual terms you sound like you're running a smear campaign.

So bizarre that this isn't considered a national crisis, especially by politicians on the left. We're sleepwalking into an environment where like 80% of available information is right-wing propaganda and the rest is behind a paywall.
You’d expect the rate at which newspapers eliminated jobs would taper off to exponential decay at some point, but no. They just keep firing people like they expect to go to 0 humans employed by 2030

This odious comic is a great example of how modern online anti-intellectualism looks: All literature is a simple declaration of fannish affiliation ("I'm on Team Raven!") and any attempt to find deeper meaning is gibberish invented by teachers to make themselves feel smart.

I'm on day four of being quarantined due to COVID and I have already lost it on cleaning. The only thing stopping me from going out and renting a carpet cleaner is...the COVID.

COVID waited until I had international plane tickets for the first time in over five years to strike me down. An added layer of cruel irony is that I feel fine on this, the day I was supposed to travel, after feeling shitty all weekend. Yes, I know I'm still contagious. Still salt in the wound.

Of course the marriage between Princess Di and Charles could never have worked out. It was like a Sarah McLachlan song getting together with Dr. Fraiser Crane.
