Lo and behold, it's been more than six months of this lockdown BS and life still really sucks here in America. We're all still miserable AF, and it seems like we'll never be free of this crap. So this is a friendly reminder to wear your damn mask. Now let's get on with the memes.

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the times that egotistical people got reminded that they "have no power here." Well, the thread isn't all egomaniacs. Sometimes, it's a case of someone literally not having power. Like the homie that couldn't pay his electricity bill because he couldn't access the internet he needed to get the job done. It can be a deeply satisfying experience to watch someone who was power tripping all over the place get put in necessary check. 

Twitter user _danilo uses an example from Star Trek to explain some of the dangers of having an industry that lacks face-to-face interaction with its own workers. It's scary enough to imagine your job being done by a cold, calculating robot, but what if your boss's job was done by a cold, calculating robot? For something with more Star Trek fun and less technocratic dread, here's an awesome Tumblr post on how hard humans go in Star Trek.

Is there a word for "observation that seems poignant in the moment and then sort of gets instantly muddled into the background noise of your head, only to pop up at the most inappropriate moment?" If not, that's kind of what tweets are. That's not a bad thing, they're fun. Balls of wit make up some of the great funny tweets and tumblr gems to quote later.

Parenting comes with its highs and lows. Of course, no one talks about the highs because, let's face it, bragging parents are possibly one of the worst types of people on the planet. But the lows... well, everyone wants to hear about the lows because the lows are funny, especially when they're put on Twitter for the world to see. So, each week, we compile a list of the funniest parenting tweets we came across over the past seven days to give you a taste of the trials and tribulations (and occasional joys) of parenting. Scroll through this week's haul and then mosey on over to last week's to get more parenting survival tips and tricks.

Was "reading more" one of your failed New Year's resolutions? Well, we're going to let you in on a little secret: you don't have to buy books to indulge in the creativity of wordsmiths. Turns out that you can consume clever witticisms all over the internet. You just have to know where to look. Fortunately, the subreddit r/brandnewsentence makes that mission a little easier. It's a veritable hub of quirky writing that's been harvested from Twitter, Tumblr, and even the dreaded hellscape that is Facebook. We've put together some of their finest examples of creative writing, but there's loads more where these came from. Hell, they may even inspire you to get a little more funky with your own posts. Go crazy. We're here for a good time, not a boring time.

These instances might remind you that you're actually doing pretty well for yourself in the whole brain department. Hot damn, it's like life is a race to see who can do the dumbest thing ever. We absolutely love it. And boy people are dumb a lot.

Ah, to be gifted with the skill of literary brevity. While we can't say we're capable of crafting short and sweet zingers, these Twitter users are more than adept at creating clever and punchy one or two-liners. In the words of The Office's Kevin Malone, "Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick."  

Thank God it's mother-flippin' Friday! You're tired, we're tired, everyone's tired. You've worked all week and you deserve a break from reality! screw your job, go ham. Let's all take a moment to browse through these memes and thank our lucky stars that we don't have to be in the office tomorrow. I asked my wife if she ever fantasizes about me, she said yes.... about me taking out the trash, mowing the lawn, and doing the dishes, and signing the dam divorce papers. So as you go through this weekend, remember that as much as you are craving to get home, don't forget to count your blessings that you have a place to escape home from. So check out these various amazing work memes that detail how great, and how not, the week can be.
