Twitter Thread: Logan Paul Goes All-In With A Live-Tweet Take On Jordan Peele's "NOPE"

It's been a long, long time since we've talked about Logan Paul. Like many of you, I chose to pretend that he and his brethren don't exist. I ultimately gave up even pretending to harbor an ironic dislike for the guy after the whole "Suicide Forest" incident in Japan at the start of 2018 (end of 2017?) Since that incident, he is and has been, a nothingness to me.

Fast forward to 2021. Well, a lot has happened since that time, and I found myself reflecting this morning upon a tastefully thought-out criticism of Jordan Peele's new film NOPE. The surprising part? The criticism was laid out by Logan Paul. Have I actually fallen into a parallel universe? Is he being a reasonable human being now? Logan doesn't go in hard and fast on the film, picking it apart in the way you might have expected him to. Instead, he lays out a tasteful argument for why the film doesn't work for him, doing so in the sophisticated medium that is a Twitter thread. 

It's surprising to seriously be able to utter the sentence "I agree with Logan Paul." but I think he has a point. Occasionally, critics and the internet unite to bandwagon over a film that just really isn't that good, and I believe this is one of those times. (Another being the first DC Universe Wonder Woman.) But people are entitled to their opinions and allowed to be excited about things that I'm not. So that's ok. 

Have you seen NOPE? What are your thoughts? Do you "agree with Logan Paul"?

Chef Throws Pan at Line Cook, Gets Fired, Kitchen Staff Commiserate

Anyone who has worked in the service industry has a story or two about a hot-tempered chef. Well, Redditor u/Tarcos took to Reddit's r/KitchenConfidential community to share their recent experience where they wound up on the wrong end of a chef's temper (and kitchenware.)

The constant pressure and fast-paced nature of the service industry can result in a lot of room for confrontation between staff. Factor hot-heads and demanding customers into the mix and you can get some explosive situations. u/Tarcos, who works as a line chef, shares that the chef reportedly took issue with the fact that they were moving a little slower than normal (due to some health concerns) and "took a hot saute pan and whipped it at [their] feet."

Commenters panned the chef's behavior and fellow kitchen/service staff shared some of their own experiences and commiserated with the line chef.

"If you have time to lean, you have time to be felony assaulted," remarked ejolson, passing comment on the notorious temper some chefs have.

"This is my favorite comment and has cheered me up incredibly," replied the original poster.

Supermarket Karen Assaults Combat Veteran, Pays the Price

A military combat veteran was minding his own business doing his grocery shopping when a wild supermarket Karen appeared and demanded his assistance. When he refused to assist her, the situation escalated and led to a dramatic confrontation. It's often that we find confused Karens in these bizarre circumstances… Just the other day a story was trending where a Karen even tried to order a pizza from a craft shop. 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/IDontWorkHereLady by Redditor u/Doug4422, who posted the thread with the title "Karen tangles with a combat veteran, gets more than a handful."

The comments were mixed on this story, with some users voicing their enjoyment of or asking questions about the story while others had more negative responses. 

"30 days?! Why not forever?" Questioned Catacombs3. "Why would they tolerate/encourage people who physically attack their customers? I hope you pressed charges for assault."

Some commenters disliked the poster's narrative, which they accused of being drenched in stereotypical military machismo.  

"I like the story, but holy shit does this ever reek of r/iamverybadass," remarked ifeelnothingaboutyou.

"I wish I had the Navy Seal copypasta," replied RickCrenshaw.

Meme Meister: Top 20 Memes of the Week (That We've Posted to Facebook) (July 25, 2022)

What is a top meme? Who gets to decide that? 

Well, I guess I do… but why is that my choice? Who made that my choice? Someone really just came along and said, "Post some memes to Facebook for us," and here we are. What am I? The Meister of Memes?

Now, I'm here, and I'm telling you that these are the best memes of the week (whether they really are or not.) The reality is that (probably) none of these were actually created this week, and you might not even like them… You might even hate them (which you would be well within your right to do.) A more honest title would be more like "My Favorite Memes of the Week," but then you wouldn't be here, would you?

Hopefully, you do enjoy these carefully selected memes and decide to squirrel them away to your own meme collections. In doing so, you would be contributing to their proliferation across the wider web. Please peruse and enjoy.
