Never Talk About Religion or Politics... Unless Your Name Is Mud

From Ancient Spirits to Sexy Traffic Cones: What the Hell Happened to Halloween?
Halloween is approaching, so Americans are preparing to spend considerable sums dressing up as things they wouldn’t normally let into their homes. Skeletons appear on lawns, plastic spiders are attached to perfectly good furniture, and somewhere, a grown man is practicing walking in an inflatable dinosaur costume while his wife seriously reconsiders the choices that brought them together.

My Brain Remembers 1983, but Advertising Has Forgotten the Truth
Two things about modern civilization concern me. First, the human brain has apparently decided that information from 1983 deserves permanent storage, while anything useful today can be discarded without warning.

I Just Wanted a Sandwich, a Photograph, and a Birthday Card...

The Face Everyone Is Mocking Is a Mirror
The screen holds a face cut into four pieces. Someone cropped the top half and labeled it alarm. The bottom half became disgust. The left side became anger.

I Was Just Trying to Make Coffee
Saturday morning began with a simple objective... Coffee. That's it. I wasn't remodeling the kitchen. I wasn't installing solar panels. I wasn't attempting to teach myself conversational Mandarin before lunch. I just wanted some coffee. This should have required approximately four minutes and almost no critical thinking. Unfortunately, I own a house.

A Man Led a “Black Panther” Through a Jinan Metro Station. Then Everyone Saw the Wheels.
One day in September, at a Jinan Metro station, a passenger held a chain. At the other end was a black panther. Its fangs were bared. Its eyes stared ahead. Under each paw was a wheel. Someone nearby stopped. A phone went up. The photo reached the internet. The first comment: “This is a suitcase?”
