Factory farming is wildly uncomfortable to think about, which is why most people avoid it entirely. After finishing A World Appears and listening to a podcast on the topic, this resurfaced as something I’ve been thinking about often. This post will not be a fan...

When I was 17, I thought canker sores were herpes. And even though I’d never kissed a girl, I thought I had herpes. Why did I think that? Because canker sores sucks. I’ve been plagued with canker sores for most of my life. When I hit a bad stretch, as I...

The nuance of this video is easily overlooked by the casual, non-golfing observer, and I feel compelled to explain why it is such an amazing piece of everyday life. The start of the video is clipped from the end of the video which I missed the first time. View this...
