Why Modern-Day Christopher Columbus Fans Wage a Yearly Culture War

The deeper you dive into the Columbus fandom, the less anyone wants to contend with what actually transpired in the New World — Less than a week before it would have taken place, Pittsburgh’s Columbus Day Parade for 2018 was canceled.

It’s Target, Not Ikea, Where Happy Relationships Go to Die

Those endless shelves of chintzy crap are going to torpedo your cohabitative bliss — Every couple has its disagreements, and every couple is pushed to the brink by a few universal stressors: household budgets, airplane travel, in-laws, “the Holidays,” choosing where to eat and, perhaps worst of all, the dreaded apartment move.

Moth Memes Helped Me Conquer an Irrational Fear of Moths

Lots of common “irrational” fears look reasonable to me. Dying in a plane crash: terrifying. Poisonous snakes and spiders: Why wouldn’t you be afraid of them? Public speaking: Yeah, you might piss your pants in front of a hundred co-workers. …
