Cheating is never fun. It tends not to be fun for the cheater, as they get to carry guilt and fear with them after the act, and it’s certainly not fun to be cheated on. Research conducted by two researchers from CU Boulder found that 21 percent of men and 13 percent of women reported […]

Women’s Aid defines domestic abuse as “an incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behavior, including sexual violence, in the majority of cases by a partner or ex-partner, but also by a family member or carer.” [1] What makes the issue of domestic abuse even more frightening is the one-sided […]

I’m 32 years old, but since my late teens, I’ve joked with my closest and longest-lasting friends that I could see us moving into the same nursing home and drinking large quantities of beer together there in our waning years.

Kittens and birds – they’re mortal enemies, right? Cats want to chow down on the birds they catch and birds, in the interest of self preservation, flee in terror. Or at least that’s what most of us think of when it comes to feline-avian relations. But this video of a kitten and chick napping together […]

Space is a happening place. And by that I mean it’s a chaotic and wild place to view from our terrestrial vantage point.

In the image just below this text, you’ll see a tree with a bunch of fairly amorphous and androgynous little people, called ‘blobs’, hanging out. Some are happy, some are frowny, some in danger, and some barely hanging on. Each one has a number assigned. This image is inspired by Pip Wilson’s blob tree. The […]

Do you believe in unidentified flying objects, or UFOs? Have you ever seen a flying saucer? In 2019, a large spike in UFO reports are leaving some scratching their heads.

Kids today, am I right? Probably not. A widely circulated Buzzfeed article published in April 2018 that suggested schools are getting rid of “old school” analog clocks because teens can’t read them made grumpy adults all over social media groan and face-palm. But how much truth is there to this claim? It turns out: some, […]
