Apparently, somewhere in Spain, a physicist woke up and chose chaos. How so? By proving that humans, across cultures, ages, and continents, cannot for the life of us walk in a straight line. We drift left. Universally. Our feet drift left. Like some subtle, collective lean toward mischief […]
In what might be the greatest psychological experiment no one meant to run, an Icelandic TV station accidentally aired a children’s show with subtitles from The Sopranos. Not just any scene. The intervention scene.For Christopher. Now imagine, if you will—, weet, bouncy, technicolor innocence from Teletubbies. Laa-Laa. Po. […]
Apparently, new research suggests that leaders who oppose remote work may have higher levels of narcissism. The theory? They crave attention. Validation. The admiring gaze of employees nodding in conference rooms and laughing just a little too hard at their jokes. And listen, I love a good psychological […]
This Fourth of July, I celebrated freedom the old-fashioned way: by accidentally achieving it. Not metaphorical freedom. Not “out of office but secretly checking Slack every 11 minutes” freedom.

This may be the most 2026 headline we get all year. A DoorDash delivery robot wandered into an active SWAT scene and refused to evacuate. Of course it did. Why wouldn’t it? The robot has no amygdala. No anxiety. No “maybe I should not be here while heavily […]
In a move that feels equal parts dystopian and deeply on-brand for 2026, Dating.com has announced it’s hiring its first-ever Chief Breakup Officer. This is a person whose full-time job is to end other people’s relationships for them. I’m sorry, is this not just Human Resources with better […]
Of course it was Florida. An entrepreneurial spirit looked at a Walmart parking lot and thought, “You know what this needs? Pineapple garnish and emotional regulation.” And just like that an emotional support tiki bar was born. For three glorious hours. Three hours of questionable zoning decisions and […]
There are bad decisions and then there are parade-level, caught-on-camera, what exactly did you think was going to happen here decisions.
