For another, where the heck else am I going to put…

Some people are pristine packers who dutifully Ziplock their toiletries, fold outfits together, and arrive at their destination with everything they need organized conveniently. Others are more haphazard, to say the least. If you’re in that second category, you’re surely familiar with the experience of getting…

This week, I’m taking a look at some of the darker, uglier, grotesque goings-on in young people culture, from toxic masculinity, to scary stalkers, and artistic grotesquery. But there’s also a robot pizza maker and some cool bugs to balance the scales.

A great (and sometimes terrible) thing about podcasts is their low barrier to entry. Experts and enthusiasts of all kinds can pick up a mic and start recording a show about the weird and niche things that fascinate them most—no matter how weird, or how niche, podcasters can make the kind of content they’re obsessed…

Driving at night can be challenging, even under normal circumstances. There are the lights from oncoming traffic, the reduced ability to see important landmarks, and the risk of impaired drivers. However, although driving at night is harder, if your nighttime vision is especially bad—or if it has gotten worse in…

Imagine you get this random text from an unknown number out of the blue: “My dog needs to be seen by a vet right away. Can you help me?” Do you respond to let the person know they have the wrong number? Do you ignore it? What do you think most people would do?

For many of us, it’s midterm season; soon will come finals season; and then we’ll do it all over again. Whether you’re trying to maximize your studying ability for a test or a big project at work, you need a good place to sit down and read, cram, write—whatever.

The salt draws moisture out of the meat, then the moisture dissolves the salt, allowing it to penetrate into the flesh, seasoning it and keeping it juicy. It is,…

There are too many Christmas movies and too few Thanksgiving movies. The first that comes to most people’s minds is Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, then maybe Adams Family Values or the horrible Alice’s Restaurant. But after that, there aren’t too many to speak of. Unless you dig deep.

The season is upon us: Mailboxes are filling up with letters from children to a jolly bearded toymaker/reindeer breeder while we frantically shop for the things our children think will make them happy. But are these items really going to spark joy for them in the months—or even weeks—ahead. If we get them everything…
