Life has officially gotten ridiculous. I say this as someone who generally rolls with the punches, believes reality is fluid, and accepts that nothing ever goes exactly as planned. But even I had to pause this week and reread a headline that felt less like news and more […]
Sometimes you read a headline that makes you double-take, rub your eyes, and mutter, “No, surely this must be from The Onion.” But no. Real life, yet again, outdoes satire. A neurosurgeon. Yes, a brain surgeon has been arrested for what officials described as “an incredible lack of […]
By the time I sat down Friday night, it was 7:30 PM and I had lived what felt like three weeks crammed into five days. Sleep was a rumor. Anxiety was a clingy roommate. Coffee was my emotional support animal. It was one of those weeks. The kind […]
Can we talk about how folks nowadays just fling things at strangers? Like, it’s “#whateverthefirstthingIgrabbedIsMyWeapon-of-the-day” kind of energy. Recently, fans at WNBA games have been tossing neon-green sex toysonto the court—yes, you read that right.

The world is weird. That’s not breaking news. But every now and then, the headlines remind us just how gloriously absurd the human and animal condition can be. This past week has been a masterclass in eyebrow-raising moments, each with a surprisingly teachable core. If only Freud were […]
It happened again. After months of avoiding the chilly shadows, I’ve plunged right back into the abyss of Nordic Noir. This time, it’s The Åre Murders, and I’m hooked—again. Every six months or so, I find myself back in the icy depths of Scandinavia, vicariously solving brutal murders […]
Ah, the strange and wonderful world we live in. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, along comes a story that makes you question everything you thought you knew about deli meats. Picture this: a quiet neighborhood in Ohio, the sun is shining, birds are chirping, and… […]
If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be? If I could bring back one dinosaur, it wouldn’t be the ferocious, people-chomping kind. Oh no, I’d summon a chatty T-Rex with a flair for storytelling. Let’s call him Rex the Bard. Picture it: a T-Rex […]
Back last year when the pandemic was starting to take root in people’s consciousness, there was a run on toilet paper. People were buying up even odder things in large quantities. I placed an order on toilet paper. I still have enough for another year. But that is […]
I love watching movies. Or rather I should say I used to love movies and then I liked them and now I love them again. I made a very deliberate effort last year to watch, on average, two movies in the theaters each month. Granted, there are […]
