At this point, I’m beginning to think bears are just living their best lives while the rest of us are unnecessarily following rules. First, we had bears breaking into houses, hot tubs, cars, and bakeries. Now we have a bear breaking into a snack factory, accidentally turning on […]
I’ve been deep in an email purge lately. Archaeology of the digital kind. Dusting off threads, deleting ghosts, time-traveling one subject line at a time. Somewhere between “unsubscribe” and “why did I save this,” I stumbled on an email I sent to myself back in October 2022 with […]
Some people wake up to coffee. I wake up to headlines about three lab monkeys escaping from a crashed transport truck in Mississippi.

Sometimes you read a headline that makes you double-take, rub your eyes, and mutter, “No, surely this must be from The Onion.” But no. Real life, yet again, outdoes satire. A neurosurgeon. Yes, a brain surgeon has been arrested for what officials described as “an incredible lack of […]

In the latest installment of “Nature’s Gone Bananas,” I bring you: cocaine sharks. Yes, you read that right. Just when you thought the ocean was safe, our finned friends are now out there showing signs of cocaine ingestion. Move over, Jaws—this summer’s blockbuster might just be a wild […]
Just when you thought 2024 couldn’t get any weirder, Costco has decided to spice things up by selling an “apocalypse bucket.” Yes, you read that right—a 25-year emergency dinner kit, perfect for those of us who like to plan ahead… way ahead. Is this a savvy business move […]
