Young people are teaching each other questionable geography facts, “cleansing” their colons with saltwater laxatives, and buying 46-person lifeboats from strangers on Facebook. We’re leaving the world in good hands.

Thanks to science, we know a lot of things that our ancestors did not. How diseases spread, for example, and why the continents are shaped like that, and that there actually isn’t a tiny man in every sperm.

At some point in their career, almost every member of the workforce comes to the realization that “dream jobs” don’t exist.

Dipping bread into a high-quality olive oil is, by itself, a pleasant experience. A good olive oil can taste herbal, fruity, or peppery, but that doesn’t…

Movies are a mixed bag when it comes to depicting sex There are those truly brilliant films that capture the complexities, complications, and sometimes even the hotness of good, bad, and mediocre sex...and then there are all the movies that don’t. The people may be pretty, sure, but cinematic love scenes are often…

“Crème brûlée Slut” will be the title of my biography. The thing is, even not-so-awesome crème brûlée is still reasonably delicious. It’s hard to screw up when you throw cream and sugar together. I order it when I’m out because I’ve led my life under the misconception that it’s hard to make at home, but it’s also…
