I hope that you clicked on this headline because you love a scintillating saga, because ladies and germs (and everyone else), have I got a story for you. This is the tale, my friends, of how a gargoyle dressed in holiday regalia really, really managed to get under the skin of a neighborhood Karen, even...

There have been a few fads that have risen in popularity since the world went into quarantine. One of those things is the Randonautica app. Users pull it up before they go on a walk, randomly generate a coordinate, and then tell is what your “intention” is before setting out. Somehow – for these 16...

We all fail now and again (some of us more often than we admit on social media). Sometimes it’s nothing big, and other times it causes our partner to make fun of us and maybe we even chuckle a bit to ourselves about what an idiot we are. Other times, though, the world really deserves...

A good power move can be worth its weight in gold, and most of us will have real reason to pull them out at least occasionally in our lives – we have to let people know where boundaries are, after all. That said, people also choose to loose power moves over truly silly situations, and...

These days, many parents are on the hunt for discipline methods that help guide kids from childhood into adulthood without all of the drama and crying and sometimes spanking that we endured growing up. A watershed moment for me was reading that the term discipline comes from the word disciple. So, if you’re not teaching...

You hear all the time these days about how birth rates are down all over the world. It’s easy enough to understand at least some of the reasons this might be an issue, like the fact that we need young people to take care of all of the old farts and all of that. It...

No matter how old you are, I don’t think anyone enjoys getting a zit. That goes double (or more) when more zits join the first, leaving you with a full-blown outbreak of acne. We’ve all tried the soaps, the scrubs, the pills, the diet changes, but sometimes, nothing helps. Nothing, it turns out, except this...

We hear a lot about climate change these days, from scientists and politicians and the kids trying to change things for the better. That said, it can seem a bit of a big concept to grasp sometimes, especially when none of the effects can be easily seen from our front doors. There are arguments about...

There’s a lot of back and forth about climate change these days. It’s become political and everyone has an opinion on whether or not it’s real and how big of an issue it is, etc etc etc. It can be hard to imagine things on a large scale, though, especially if what’s happening isn’t necessarily...

I am not a foodie, necessarily, but I do love to eat food. I’m not so big on presentation; as long as it tastes good, I’m in. That said, it’s hard not to be charmed by people who look at a plate of food and see more than a bunch of yum that belongs in...

Sometimes food is just food, and honestly, I still love it. Sometimes, though, someone very creative and/or very hilarious gets ahold of some food and turns it into something that’s great to look at and fantastic to eat. Food should be so lucky every single day, I think, and these 12 pictures are perfect examples of...

Personally, I love cicadas. Sure, they look weird and it’s kind of creepy how they stay underground for decades at a time, and they can be super loud, but to me, it wouldn’t be summer without them. That said, I’ve never lived through an emergence like the one of “Brood X” that scientists say are...

As a child of the 80s, I remember when Rubiks’ Cubes were all the rage – and I also remember when they became something nerds did, and then when they became cool again because I am old. It’s fascinating to watch people solve them in like, 10 seconds flat, and so I got to wondering...

When we see a place or an event or a person enough, it can be easy to forget why we thought it was so special to begin with, don’t you think? And because Times Square is so bustling and full of tourists and smelly and sure, a little cliche now, there’s a good chance that...

There’s a good chance you could name a dozen or more units of measurement, if pressed. We use them all the time, every day, metric and otherwise, to communicate heights and lengths and sizes and time to the people we interact with here and there. There are always things we don’t know, though – and...
