Let’s be honest: manual labor is for people who enjoy things like “calluses,” “sore backs,” and “the existential dread of realizing they’ll be doing this exact same motion until retirement.” Meanwhile, the rest of us figured out early on that the best way to earn a paycheck is to sit in a chair, stare at…

Ladies first: Let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer brilliance of the world’s marketing campaign on How To Be A Woman™.

Welcome to My Blog: Where I Remind You of Stuff You Already Know

Humans Are Terrible at Time (And Yes, That Means You)

Let’s talk about how utterly bad humans are at understanding time. Like, catastrophically, hilariously bad.

A Free Market Solution to Fix America’s Broken Education System

For centuries, the promise of education has been the cornerstone of a free and prosperous society.
