You ever notice how doom is the only racket where you can be wrong every single time and still get paid? Forget hedge fund managers, forget weathermen — doomsday prophets are the undisputed champs of failure. They’re like if your GPS told you, “Turn left into the lake,” you did it, and instead of drowning,…
Welcome to The DORK Side, where the only thing we swipe right on is the truth. I’m Kevin Jackson, and I’m old enough to remember getting on the internet with that 28.8K dial-up modem that took three days to download a pixelated photo of Pamela Anderson.

The Sydney Sweeney American Eagle jeans ad dropped like a denim-wrapped atomic bomb—and half of the internet lost its mind. Not over the jeans. Over the genes. The campaign cheekily played with the pun “It’s in her jeans,” which triggered a backlash because, apparently, genetic beauty is now offensive.But let’s set aside the woke whining…
