    In Memoriam: Our favorite Vines

    Today is a sad day here at TGS Headquarters. News broke this morning across the internet that Twitter would be discontinuing its short form video service, Vine.

    Enough with the Clowns

    Hey you, in the clown suit and mask – your 15 minutes are over. You aren’t being funny or clever. You are being a jerkwad. I admit, I thought it was funny for about about 15 minutes, but it is time to move on. I heard about clowns threatening to steal kids yesterday from a school. […]
