Welcome to the era where your smartest-seeming friend is also the one most likely to confidently pass onto you a made-up fact. Tech labs have been trying for years to teach AIs not to hallucinate. That is, to stop inventing stuff that sounds plausible but is flat-out wrong. […]
There’s a quote floating around the internet that gets attributed to Anthony Bourdain like most great quotes about food, travel, and life. Whether he said it or not, it sticks: “Be a traveler, not a tourist.” And oh, how true that rings. See, a tourist skims. They drop […]
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. I didn’t really watch the Emmys this year. To be fair, I had it on. The screen was glowing, the speeches were droning, and I was half-scrolling, half-snacking, and fully not invested. But for once in a […]
How often do you walk or run I walk. Every day. I walk when it’s cold, when it’s hot, when I’m sick, when I’m well, and when I’m questioning all my life choices. For the past 20 years, movement has been my therapy, my fuel, my caffeine. Even […]

First impressions matter. That’s what they always say in job interviews, on first dates, and in those nerve-racking “meet the parents” dinners. But rarely do first impressions come with 60,000 people watching in real time and millions more tuned in at home, hoping you don’t choke under pressure. […]
Humans like to think of the bathroom as their private space. But if you live with dogs, you know that “private” is a myth. The bathroom is not yours alone. It’s a stage where your furry companions reveal their quirks, philosophies, and, oddly enough, life lessons. Take my […]
