Twitter user Alexander J.A. Cortes is, according to his Twitter profile, a “trainer,” “writer,” and “speaker.” However, recently, he added “controversial opinion-haver” when he advised his male followers (or “young kings”) to avoid women who dye their hair “unnatural” colors. He compared them to poisonous animals in the wild, and claimed that it was an...

And Richland, WA, resident Anthony Akers seems to realize this better than most – just look what he replied to his local police department’s Facebook post naming him the wanted criminal of the week on their...

I actually just posted the other day about how “easy open” bags of cheese (or whatever) refuse to tear or tear wrong so you can’t re-close them, which drives me completely bonkers. This list is made up of other things like that — things that should make your life easier but definitely don’t, or things...

In 1911, a book called The Adventure was published by Elizabeth Morison and Frances Lamont. It claimed to detail their experiences time traveling while visiting the Versailles palace and grounds 10 years previously.

People are inventing new things all the time, many of which are very cool. But when you read about some of the items on this list, you might think…why does the world need that?

Have you ever agreed to try some kind of food only to be totally horrified once you found out what it was you actually swallowed? Maybe something looked good and you popped it in without thinking about it, and then…yuck? Yum? What happened? Or maybe you just didn’t look closely enough before throwing said weird...

Girls are notoriously terrible to other girls. Being a woman should be about holding up other another woman’s right to live life how she wants, even if it’s the opposite of how you choose to live. Unfortunately, we often can’t stop judging each other long enough to do that. Now it’s time for some truth....
