Somewhere along the evolutionary timeline, humans went from inventing tools to naming them. Not in a practical way. Not in a “this is my truck, Bessie” kind of way. No. We are now giving delivery robots faces, personalities, and apparently emotional backstories. Little sidewalk robots are trundling around […]
There are certain places on Earth where time has no meaning. The Bermuda Triangle. Black holes. And the DMV. I learned this again the hard way this week. Now, I wasn’t new to the DMV rodeo. Just a few years ago I strutted in with an online appointment, […]
Confession time. I am not a cookie person. Yes, I said it. Spare me your gasps of horror. I don’t like peanut butter cookies, oatmeal cookies, sprinkled cookies, gingerbread, shortbread, or those overly sweet macaroons (are they even real cookies or just coconut imposters?). Keep them all. But […]
So apparently, humans (and perhaps a few other entities) send over 2.5 billion messages to ChatGPT every single day. That’s billions with a B. More than the number of daily texts between gossipping teenagers in 2005. More than the prayers whispered to the universe when you can’t find […]

Ever had one of those days where something just feels… off? Like maybe, just maybe, there’s a glitch in the matrix? I’m not talking about seeing black cats cross your path twice (although that would be pretty nerve-wracking). I’m talking about those tiny, weird moments where life seems […]
Ah, Generation X, the cohort that practically invented resilience. We were the latchkey kids, roaming free without GPS tracking, learning independence from a young age. Our afternoons were filled with MTV, where Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” was the anthem of rebellion. Commercials taught us how to battle everything […]
