Relationships can be tricky to navigate for everyone, but when it comes to family, well – complicated sometimes doesn’t seem to cover it. We want to be gracious and loving, but sometimes people ask us to do that at the expense of our own comfort, so…what then? This woman and her boyfriend are super into...

Sometimes, whether or not to stay home with children is an easy decision. It could be that one of the parents wants to stay home, to manage the household and the children, while the other party works for a paycheck outside the home. It could be that both parents have always worked, and they can’t really...

If you’re someone you likes to watch television, chances are you’ve been burned by television execs a time or two. They really don’t care how great a show is if not enough people are tuning in, so not enough advertising dollars are being paid, you know? The cold, hard facts of Hollywood as a business...

As someone who came of age during the 1990s, I can tell you that they were a crazy – but totally awesome – time to be alive. The internet was like, barely a thing and cell phones were things our parents had and lent to us when we went out for actual emergencies. Fashion was...

Marriage is complicated. If there is one single truth about life and relationships that everyone can agree on, that must be it. It’s tough to not only love someone through decades of ups and downs and life changes, but to put up with sharing the same space with them all that time, too. This woman...

When people go looking for advice about life, most of the time we go to the older, wiser people we know in our personal lives, or maybe to public figures we’ve always admired and consider to have wisdom to impart. Maybe the internet, with its random strangers and mixed bag of tricks, isn’t your first...

There’s advice pretty much everywhere you look these days, and even though much of it is oft-repeated or a dime a dozen, every once in a while you come across a thread that contains some true gems. These 13 pieces of life advice, offered on Twitter, contain more than a few bits of knowledge that...

There are millions of people on Twitter, and I would venture to say that a pretty good portion of them think they’re some kind of funny. And while that may be true, it’s also true that no one is funny all of the time – and very few Twitter accounts are dedicated to making people...

If there is a cool kind of nerd in the world, it’s a history nerd. At least, I think so. History is interesting, it’s funny, it’s illuminating, and most of all, it bonds us together in ways we can hardly realize sometimes. If you love history, too, and you love feeling smart and laughing about...

I suppose there are people out there who only know Judy Garland’s name and face and voice from her iconic role as Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz. Those people might even be lucky, because they don’t realize how horribly tragic and wasted her beautiful life can seem when you know all of the rest of...

It’s coming up on pothole-fixing season, y’all. I suppose this is superior to pothole-making season (winter and early spring) but honestly, all of our lives and cars and pocketbooks would be better off if there were no potholes at all. Maybe the key to preventing potholes is knowing how they get there in the first...

I’m not sure that learning about space, stars, planets, and the like will ever get old or boring. Partly because we all like to dream about what’s out there, but also because we’re literally always exploring and learning new things. If you’re curious about Uranus, the farthest planet from the sun and one of only...

There are lots of posts and lists out there filled with jokes and truths about life with siblings, but listen – some people don’t have the pleasure (or curse) because they’re only children. That’s why we put this list together, filled with funnies about life as an only child that you don’t need friends around...

There are tips and tricks all over the internet, all claiming to know the best way to start, go about, and finish your day. A lot of these crossover – get a good night’s sleep, drink plenty of water, pet your dog – but if you ask me, nothing feels quite as good as a...

It’s no secret at this point that science has, on several occasions throughout history, gone too far in its pursuit of progress. Unethical experiments have been performed on human beings without the agency to resist, lies have been told, dangerous substances haven’t been protected, and psychological damage has been waved aside, even in rooms with...
