I would like to begin by saying that I do not endorse eating your coworkers. Let’s just get that out of the way. However. When I read that a female shark in a Seoul aquarium ate a male shark after he repeatedly bumped into her, I felt something […]
There was a time not long ago ( like Tuesday) when I believed animals had a certain moral code. A quiet agreement, if you will. You stay in your lane, I’ll stay in mine, and nobody touches the ribeye. And then somewhere in Oklahoma, a dog said absolutely […]
There are moments in life when you read a headline and think, this is it, this is my pivot. “In China, a rush to ‘raise lobsters’ quickly leads to second thoughts.” Reader, I was ready. I pictured a serene coastal existence. Me, in oversized boots, gazing thoughtfully at […]
Somewhere between loyalty and footwear confusion lies the modern workplace dilemma. What do you do when your boss makes an odd request or gives you a truly questionable gift? Enter Marco Rubio, recently spotted in what appeared to be shoes auditioning for a different foot. Not just slightly […]
There are weeks when the world feels like it’s unraveling at the seams and then, like a fuzzy, lumbering gift from the universe, bigfoot re-enters the group chat. Not since the Minerva Monster sightings have Ohio residents been quite this collectively side-eyeing the woods. And now, just as […]

Apparently sharks had a bit of a moment in 2025. According to the annual International Shark Attack File from the Florida Museum of Natural History, deaths from unprovoked shark attacks rose 125% worldwide. Which is the kind of statistic that makes you pause mid–beach vacation and reconsider the […]
I have noticed something deeply suspicious about adult calendars. They are extremely full. There are meetings, deadlines, calls, errands and the mysterious category known as “follow-up.” From 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., the calendar looks like a highly organized game of Tetris where responsibility always wins. But if […]
Every once in a while the news produces a story so magnificently strange that you have to pause and admire the human psyche in its natural habitat. This week’s specimen: Tommy Thompson. A 73-year-old deep-sea treasure hunter who discovered the wreck of the legendary SS Central America a […]
