Have you ever looked into a fish tank and just watched the fish? They just kind of... hover. They don't have eyelids. They don't curl up in a little bed. So it leads to a really common question: do fish even sleep? We see our dogs and cats do it, and we know we need to do it. But what about all the other animals? The world of animal sleep is so muc…

Does AI still feel like science fiction to you? You know, like something out of a movie with robots and spaceships? It’s easy to think that way. But the truth is, Artificial Intelligence isn't just "coming soon." In a lot of ways, it's already here. And it’s about to change your daily life in ways you might not expect.…

You’ve almost certainly heard Peter Thiel’s name. You very likely even have an opinion about him. But how much do you actually know about him? One of the most powerful people in America is also one of the most secretive, because that lack of public visibility gives him much more room to exercise a scary amount of control over our country. This week…

Have you ever heard about a diet that promises you can lose twenty pounds in a week? You know the ones... the "cabbage soup" diet, the "grapefruit only" diet, or the one that promises you can just cut out one single "evil" food group and suddenly everything will be perfect? These are "fad diets," and they are everywhere. They're tempting, right? Th…

History isn't just a set of facts; it's a story. And like any good story told over centuries, it's like a giant, global game of "telephone." A little misunderstanding here, a bit of propaganda there, and suddenly, a complete lie is cemented in our minds as fact. We learn them in school and see them in movies. But the truth is often far more interes…

They make for great TV shows and movie …

Our politicians are too f*#&ing old. We’ve covered the state of our dismal, sleepy, cranky gerontocracy before—but how do we actually get power into the hands of people who are not Boomers?

Everyone in their right mind already knows the gift: Trump ran on helping working people, then immediately threw working Americans to the wolves in favor of helping the ultra-wealthy.

The heart beats over 100,000 times a day, pumping blood through roughly 60,000 miles of vessels. When we fall in love, feel grief, or experience joy, we don't say, "My brain aches" or "My amygdala swells", we say my heart breaks, soars, fills, or shatters. How is it that these three-pound mechanical muscles control our emotional language? Join me f…
