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 […]
Somewhere between “please give me grace” and “please give me a break,” there exists a tiny linguistic battlefield where adults with too much time on their hands argue about whether you can gift someone something. And I would just like to say, as a licensed user of words […]
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 […]
There are bad decisions and then there are parade-level, caught-on-camera, what exactly did you think was going to happen here decisions.

There’s a glass of water on my nightstand right now. I will not drink it. I never drink it. And yet, every night, I place it there like I’m preparing for a very specific, very dramatic version of myself who might awaken at 3:17am, parched, reflective, possibly mid–existential […]
Somewhere in 2017, over 100 employees boarded planes for what was marketed as a “corporate retreat.” You know the type. Growth. Bonding. Vision. Probably a PowerPoint with the word synergy in it. What they got instead? A fever dream. This is what supposedly happen but recall can certainly […]
New York is on fire. Not the chaotic, sirens-in-the-distance kind. But the electric, collective heartbeat of a city that has waited. And waited. And waited. And now? The Knicks are champions. This wasn’t a story of dominance. It was a story of claw-backs. Of almosts. Of “are we […]
Steve Jobs famously said the only way to do great work is to love what you do. And listen, I both agree and would like to lovingly challenge Mr. Turtleneck. Because here’s the inconvenient truth. You don’t get a moral hall pass just because you’re not “in love” […]
