The end of the year is almost here and I can’t think of better way to spread some holiday cheer than with a witty card.

Since everyone is so *extremely online* all the time, this year, we decided to create some delightful internet and pop culture-inspired holiday cards for you to send your social media acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and loved ones.

Here are five superb GIF cards that will help you say “Season’s Greetings” to the Ariana Grande fan, Star Is Born stan, Netflix and chill buddy, Gritty obsessor, or Trump lover/hater in your life.  Read more…

Bose and Beats are two of the biggest names in the audio world right now — but any veteran audiophile knows that there’s one huge name that completes the headphone trifecta. 

We’re talking about Sennheiser: the Holy Grail of meaty, balanced sound.

And while Bluetooth headphones are forever in the spotlight, it’s time for someone else to steal the show for once: Hardcore movie people can save $60 on the Sennheiser RS 120 RF Wireless Headphones (charging dock included), and audiophiles who are still clinging to the headphone jack can save $181 on the infamous Sennheiser HD 650 Professional Headphones.

Meet Serve.

Serve is Postmates’ new automated delivery robot, developed to help make the company’s on-demand deliveries more efficient.

For what seems like the umpteenth time, “123456” and “password” are the most commonly used passwords this year. 

Those combinations sit in the number one and two spots respectively, according to SplashData, who evaluates millions of leaked passwords each year for its worst 100 passwords list.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, “donald” was a new entrant to the list this year, sitting at number 23 on the rankings. We sincerely hope someone in the White House isn’t using this password.

Other illustrious newbies include “111111,” which was in sixth place this year, then “sunshine” in eighth, and “princess” in the eleventh spot.  Read more…

This guy really had to *face* himself at work. 

Let’s say you post billboards for a living, and your friends regularly prank you by getting you to put up a massive billboard of yourself. This is a true story: Redditor u/Jaydeem89 posted his friend’s reaction to r/funny and r/discgolf. Apparently the friend’s boss is an avid disc golfer and was in on the joke. 

The billboard features a less-than-flattering selfie of the friend — who was apparently trying to check his eye color — with the question, “Why sleep when there is disc golf?”  Read more…

I hate that I love it.

In a pun-filled tweet, the Windows Twitter account announced that it’s giving away a select amount of “ugly sweaters” adorned with the blocky Windows 95 logo. 

It’s chunky. It’s knit. It’s filled with primary colors. It’s positively hideous! Despite all this, I still want the Windows sweater.

From the Cambridge Analytica scandal to countless other privacy issues, 2018 hasn’t been such a banner year for Facebook when it comes to its users’ private data.

Facebook undoubtedly realizes this and would like to get back in its users’ good graces. So, on Thursday, in Manhattan’s Bryant Park, Facebook set up its own pop-up shop. While the temporary IRL Facebook location was filled with holiday-themed directions, its true purpose was to spread tidings of comfort and joy via educating New Yorkers on the social network’s privacy setting options.

The World of Ice and Fire books are filled with so much that never makes it onto Game of Thrones. But newly released art for the 2020 calendar has renewed hope that we’ll see a fan-favorite beast mentioned only once on the show.

Giant. Goddamn. Ice. Spiders.

In Season 1, Old Nan (a true prophet ahead of her time) tells Bran of all the horrors living beyond the Wall. She describes how long ago White Walkers (#BelieveOldNan), “swept through cities and kingdoms, riding their dead horses, hunting with their packs of pale spiders big as hounds.” Read more…

The weeks after Christmas always involve a brutal massacre — of trees.

New York City is already a hideous, odiferous noxious cesspool of waste. The city is magically even more toxic in the days following December 25. All along along our broken streets you’ll see the bodies of the Christmas dead: Balsam, Douglas Fir, Frasier Fir.

It doesn’t have to be this way. People can make a different choice: they can foster a lil’ Christmas tree and help it grow into a beautiful adult tree. 

Fostering a Christmas tree isn’t so different from fostering, say, a pet. But, instead of taking care of some nasty cat you’re responsible for watering a silent plant. What a dream.  Read more…
