If someone told me I was looking at the Mona Lisa wrong because it's "not what the artist intended" I'd probably laugh at them. That's arguably a thing, due to centuries of aged and yellowed varnish. You can watch

On the subject of dental health: Bill Burr, the comedian, worked as a dental assistant when he was younger. He gave a piece of advice on his podcast that I wish I had heard when I was young: if a dentist tells you that you have a cavity,

I mean, to be blunt, it sounds to me like you value people for what services they can provide to you rather than what friendship they provide. Again, friendship takes many forms and there are countless ways to express it. You're judgi

In 1867, Lord Kelvin imagined atoms as knots in the aether. I had never heard of this before, and I find the idea absolutely delightful. As I understand it, the "knots" are stable vortices in the aether. It was popular from 187

I have never in my life heard anyone use this phrase. Is it actually common in modern, corporate America? It sounds like an HR trap, just like anonymous suggestion boxes.
