I was scrolling through one of my streaming services which one, I cannot say. Not because it’s classified, but because at this point they all blur together into one endless buffet of content I don’t have time to consume. And then I saw the title: If I Had […]
There’s a hotel trend that started quietly a few years ago, like all bad ideas do. At first it showed up as a “modern design choice.” Then a “European vibe.” Then suddenly you’re standing in a hotel room brushing your teeth while your travel companion makes direct eye […]
On February 5, Elon Musk, the guy behind Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter, formerly a bird, formerly our collective sanity), posted a short message on his own platform: Whoever said “money can’t buy happiness” really knew what they were talking about. Then he added a sad emoji. […]
Have you recently uttered the phrase “Well, I didn’t have that on my bingo card.” Same. When I was a kid, I had this wheel bingo game I used to play with my mom. You’d spin the wheel, a number would land, and we’d mark our cards with […]
The Super Bowl between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots was not about flash. It was not about swagger. It was not about perfectly coiffed quarterbacks or cinematic slow-motion spirals. It was about defense. Which, frankly, feels psychologically correct for the moment we’re in. I was […]
On February 6, 1952, something quietly historic happened. Britain’s King George VI died, and his 25-year-old daughter stepped into the role of monarch. Just like that, Elizabeth became Queen.

Sometimes a mistake isn’t a mistake. Sometimes it’s a mood. I recently fell down one of those late-night rabbit holes (you know the kind that starts with one article, ends with questioning the universe) and landed on a story out of China. Specifically, a plush toy made for […]
There was a time when “looking up” meant stars, clouds, and maybe the occasional airplane dragging a banner for a pizza place. Now? Now it’s satellites. Roughly 15,000 of them, as of January 2026. And about two-thirds belong to Starlink. Which feels a little like discovering that most […]
Ah, February. The shortest month on the calendar, arriving after what has felt like the longest January in recorded human history. January didn’t just pass. It lingered. It unpacked its bags. It made itself coffee. It settled into our nervous systems. And now here comes February, technically brief, […]
Growing up, I was told in no uncertain terms that you had to wash your hair every single day. This was not presented as a suggestion. This was gospel. Daily hair washing was right up there with brushing your teeth and saying thank you. You didn’t question it. […]
