Grandma so confused by GIF that she heads directly to Verizon store for answers

Everyone remembers their first GIF.
Forbes staff writer Alex Konrad was in a group chat with his grandmother, nicknamed Grammy, when one of his family members sent a Steve Harvey GIF. Grammy, who hadn’t been exposed to a GIF before, understandably freaked out.
Before you pass judgement, try empathy. Imagine being forced to watch Harvey clap on loop in your phone, unsure if he’ll ever stop.
“Help??!!! Who is that person clapping above????? Why??” Grammy wondered.

14 totally real side effects of Ambien, according to Dr. Roseanne Barr

Roseanne Barr has claimed that Ambien — not racism — was responsible for her racist outburst on Twitter yesterday.
If the simple sleeping pill caused her to spew anachronistic racial epithets in the middle of the night, what else can she blame on it? Here are just a few of the apparent side effects of Ambien, if we are to believe the research conducted by the Roseanne Barr School of Medicine. Read more…

Here’s why you shouldn’t (always) laugh at dogs in strollers

Congratulations! You’ve made it all the way past the headline of this story, which very likely made you livid. Now, bear with me while I try to explain.
Fact: Seeing a dog in a stroller is almost always a hilarious sight. But not all dogs deserve your mockery. Nor do their owners. Some dogs genuinely needs to sit in a stroller (wait before you comment) and might require something else — your empathy.
Like many of you, there was once a period in my life where nothing made me laugh harder than seeing a dog in its own stroller. Clearly, strollers were made for human babies, not pampered dogs. I felt justifiably so superior to these privileged dog owners and their waifish, terrible dogs.

A healthy relationship is marked by good boundaries and an attachment to a real person you’ve actually met.
Over the past two years, far too many people have developed a codependent relationship with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Their fixation is eminently understandable. Like him or not, that sullen piece of limestone rock is the only person capable of saving us from President Trump/nuclear holocaust.
What started for many of us as a light crush has since matured into an unhealthy fixation, with no relief in sight — since Trump isn’t about to go to jail anytime soon. It’s time we all examined ourselves for symptoms of Mueller addiction. Read more…
