We’re all over our jobs sometimes, right? There are days when it’s great (hopefully), a bunch more when it’s tolerable and you’re happy to have it, and then there are days when you wish more than anything you could walk out the door and never look back. If you’re having any of the feelings except...

To be fair, who isn’t obsessed with Dan Levy these days? His father Eugene might have been pulling the money strings behind Schitt’s Creek (while also masterfully playing the straight man on the show), but it was Dan Levy’s portrayal of the neurotic, lovable, hilarious David Rose that had us all tumbling head over heels for the quirky...

If you think of Dracula as the origin of the modern vampire story in Western literature, well, you might be stunned and also amazed to learn that Bram Stoker, in this instance, needs to take two steps back. Though it has been more than a hundred years since Stoker meticulously researched and penned Dracula, there was, in fact,...

For decades, an argument has been cropping up that Columbus was likely not the first European to make it to the Americas. People believed the Icelandic sagas that spoke of Vikings landing on land green, and lush, and full of grapes, and thought they must have been talking about Canada, but perhaps they’d even landed...

The truth is out there, my friends. You know it, I know it, and whether or not the Air Force wants to admit it, they know it, too. They just don’t want to admit it, which is why they refuse to acknowledge the unidentified plane that flew over California recently. And fine, it’s probably not...

Everyone loves maps. I mean, not as much as they love cats, dogs, and mocking Instagram influencers, but still – it’s a lot. I think after checking out the Facebook page Terrible Maps, though, that bad maps might be better than awesome maps (though they are both, of course, better than no maps at all)....

Religion is a fine thing, and it gives people around the world peace and hope and it helps them make sense of you know…all of this crap. That said, whatever those preachers with the big churches, big cars, big houses, and tons of cash are, it’s not religious, or holy, or any sort of devout....

Everyone loves “The Child,” and everyone loves hot cocoa (right?) so how on earth could a product that combines those two things ever miss? I have no idea, and I doubt we’ll be finding out anytime soon, either. Because here is something that we never knew we needed, but we’ll all inevitably want. Baby Yoda...

You probably know by now that there is literally a Guinness World Record for pretty much anything you can think of; if you have a thing and are committed enough to do it bigger and better than anyone else in the world (because there are always a few weirdos just like you), you could find...

If you know anything at all about how veterans and the families of those who gave their lives in service to America are treated when the fighting and serving are done, then you know they don’t get nearly enough. Not enough thanks, not enough healthcare, not enough financial support, you name it. And though it...

I’ll never forget walking through a little store in rural Mexico, rounding the end of the aisle, and stopping in my tracks at the sight of cartons of eggs just sitting out in the open. They were room temperature, and no one was freaking out! I pointed them out to my American friend but we...

Debit cards are super handy, and for those of us who have learned that hard way that credit cards line the road to hell, they’re a way to keep our finances in check and under control. There are times when a credit card – or cash – comes in handy, though. There are times, like...

Women have been saying for decades that it’s unfair and classist and sexist to force women to pay for menstrual products like pads, tampons, cups, etc. We don’t ask to menstruate, after all, and without said activity, all of society would cease to exist. In the way back, women were banished to a “red tent”...

Pretty much every article about how to feel better, feel healthier, and generally enjoy your life more contains the advice to get enough sleep. Not just enough, either, but good sleep. While there will be periods in our lives when this is all but impossible for one reason or another (like a new baby), it really...

Most of us know that commenting negatively on other people’s physical appearance is a folly to be avoided at all costs. Generally, it’s none of our business and we should be focusing on all the other, more important aspects of a human being, rather than their appearance. Things can get sticky when the other person...
