Everything is not awesome right now (turn that into a song, LEGO people), but lately, it has seemed like perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Leadership and governments are loosening stay-at-home orders and allowing people to share public spaces again (with restrictions, of course), and folks are venturing out into the now-warm...

You might have heard about a certain virus making the rounds here in the United States and around the world, one that’s upsetting life as we know it for many people. You might also have heard that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that Americans wear a cloth mask while in...

Back in the 80s and 90s, things that supposedly changed color with your mood were all the rage. Why, exactly, teenagers wanted others to be able to easily read emotions they might rather keep hidden remains a mystery. Kids, man. We’ve always marched to the beat of our own drum. That said, clothing that changed...

Obviously, things are rough these days with rents and contracts and businesses that require in-person customers in order to turn a decent profit. There have been plenty of stories about landlords who are out there trying to make things easier and better for everyone. There have also been plenty of stories about landlords trying to...

Managing employees is hard work, and it takes a special sort of dedication and decent intuition in order to do it well. When you have a good employee, one who goes above and beyond and makes everyone’s job easier, you do what you can to make sure they feel appreciated and are compensated for their...

Listen, I love a good revenge story as much as the rest of the internet, but sometimes people take it too far. This one, I don’t know…it makes my skin crawl! You’ll have to decide for yourself whether or not the punishment fits the crime, I guess – so here goes. It begins with a...

Things I learned today: Ms. Monopoly has actually been available since November 2019, but no one is buying this version of the game. Maybe because we’ve never heard of it? That seems to have been Hasbro’s thinking, because they made her a commercial! If you’re thinking this is going to be a great, feminist version of your...

There are two types of people in the world – those that love The Office and those who haven’t yet seen The Office. Since the latter crowd is dwindling every day (thanks, Netflix!), it’s safe to assume that a vast portion of the people are going to be very pleased with the information in this post. Out of all...

Dogs might be man’s best friend, but because we don’t speak the same language, there are bound to be miscommunications. And if you think just because dogs don’t speak that they’re not always communicating, well…you must never had had a really great canine friendship. Words or not, they can make their feelings and fears known...

If you’ve been a fan of the long-running Simpsons tv show, then you’ve probably noticed that, in their 30 years on the air, they’ve predicted a wild amount of cultural events with pretty good accuracy. They seem to have nailed everything from September 11 to the Higgs Boson to the economic collapse of Greece, but nothing can...

Dad Jokes might seem as if they’re easy to create, but listen – most succinct, funny comments take more work than they appear to at first glance. That said, the “Captain America” dad jokes, which use two stills of Captain America (obviously) – one from Captain America: The Winter Solder and the other from Avengers: Endgame. In the first...

When you think about when and where the RMS Titanic slipped beneath the waves for the final time, it’s completely astounding that we know as much about her as we do. We have images, written history, video – largely thanks to the obsession of James Cameron – that mean one of history’s most epic disasters will never...

Ever since Massachusetts-based robotics company Boston Dynamics revealed its extremely lifelike efforts around 10 years ago, people have been fascinated. Some people tend toward terrified while others are too busy clapping to wonder whether or not they should be, but across the board, we just can’t get enough of the videos showcasing what these robots...

There’s nothing new under the sun, and the press loving a titillating expose about a famous person certainly falls in line. As far back as the Roman Empire, writers were penning books revealing all of the rumors and secrets behind palace doors – people just love to read about famous people’s kinks and quirks. You’ve...

Spiderman has been a very popular superhero for decades, so I guess it only makes sense that scientists think there’s probably a market out there for sticky pads that would let people climb a wall. Like a gecko (or a spider). Now, it appears they’ve done it – and that the product might be mass...
