As fans of the hit series Lost still struggle to believe that the show first premiered over 20 years ago in 2004, it’s clear just how quickly time has flown. The faces who brought the sci-fi story to life have come a long way since then, both personally and professionally. Created by Jeffrey Lieber, J.J. … Read more
There comes a time in every person’s life when they are forced to reconcile the fact that, actually, what they think is entirely normal doesn’t represent how the average person operates. If one happens to not be neurologically typical, then this might be the list for you. Someone made a post stating “Neurodivergent folks, what’s … Read more
We all want to fit into the definition of “attractive.” It’s why many of us choose to dress sharply, keep ourselves groomed, and stay in shape.

As a child, the best part about Christmas was always the gifts, for me. I mean, cinnamon cookies and all was fine, but getting video games was what I lived for. Now that I am all grown up and the festival is not just about the gifts (or is it?), I still miss those days … Read more

For example, can you accurately describe how your smartphone works? Frankly, I find it difficult. No more than, say, a medieval “wizard” could describe “the workings” of a crystal ball.

Flying comes with a standard list of annoyances that every traveler has simply accepted as part of the deal. A two-hour delay, a middle seat with no legroom, a crying baby three rows back, or the person in front of you who reclines their seat the moment the wheels leave the ground—these are the known … Read more
Anti-vaxxers are having a moment nowadays. RFK just dismantled decades-long successful childhood vaccine schedules in the U.S. and the UK lost its status as a measles-free country, but the anti-vaccine movement doesn’t seem like it’s going to stop any time soon.
