In my latest essay for Slate, a sleep tracking ring gaslights me

The only thing worse than sleeping terribly is sleeping terribly and being assured that you actually slept quite well. slate.trib.al/mwp4PM9

Forget fishing - I bonded with my father-in-law at the Proud Boys trial. And then I wrote about it for Slate. slate.com/comments/human…

Were the Impressionists artistic visionaries? Their paintings suggest they were just nearsighted


Pigeons could really improve their public perception by rebranding as "urban doves"


Saw an article on a Philly news site called "39 cheesesteaks to eat before you die." Pretty sure that many cheesesteaks over any time period is a lethal dose - why not call it "39 cheesesteaks to eat, then die from"?


When two starfish embrace, is it considered a hug or a high five?


It's not that I love skinny jeans - I just want jeans that look regular on my skinny legs


Excited to share my first essay in @Slate about the unusual way my partner and I determined our baby's last name. Many thanks to @rebeccaonion for the opportunity and her keen editorial guidance!

We decided hybrid last names were like dogs—we’d rather admire other people’s than have one ourselves. slate.trib.al/TfrG55X



God and the internet have quite a bit in common in my latest piece for @SlackjawHumor: medium.com/slackjaw/quiz-…
