How has technology changed your job? The year is 2025, and I’ve come to terms with a few things. The sun still rises in the east, my dogs still bark at invisible ghosts, and no matter how much I blink, the dishes never disappear from my sink. There’s […]
Ah, the weekly roundup of “Did that really just happen?” You know how it goes: you sit down with your cup of coffee, open the news, and suddenly realize we are living in an absurdist play where logic took a permanent vacation. Let’s dive into the carnival of […]
