Human Interest Story

The BBC Global News Podcast does its best to make the awful world a little more tolerable — The BBC Global News Podcast, which I listen to every morning and sometimes in the afternoon, is the most functional news show imaginable. It begins with a faintly Scottish accented woman saying, “Hello, this is the Global News Podcast, from the BBC World Service, with reports and analysis from across…

Astrology Is Fake, But Leos Are Famous

And they can handle the spotlight — Leos are famous. I don’t mean that Leos are disproportionately represented in the entertainment industry, although they are. I mean that they are famous as a concept. If you went up to someone who didn’t care or know anything about astrology and said, “Tell me a star sign immediately,” they…

Astrology Is Fake, But Cancers Are In The Eye Of The Storm

Ernest Hemingway, Tom Cruise, Lindsay Lohan—see? — Picture a storm. Picture yourself living in a coastal village, and you wake up one morning and look out your window and there it is: the storm. Far away, still, but Oh Jesus. Do you understand how bad this is going to be? Soon you will be waist deep in…

Emma Steiner on the Arts Block

This piece was originally published in Prufrock magazine I had a dinner party the other night, and this guy started talking about his PhD. No one really asked him to. He just up and started in on us, in response to the most routine inquiry about his job. He was…

Happy Birthday Heimlich Manouevre

You were published in Emergency Medicine on this day in 1974, to great controversy. There is, apparently, some skepticism out there as to your efficacy. The Wikipedia article (which for some reason prefers the term “abdominal thrusts”) has a whole section in which many doctors robustly contend that you don’t…

Why Can’t We Nap in Public?

An honest question. — What do you think of when you see this photo? Do you admire the composition? Do you identify the landscape at once as Eastern European? Do you think about bears and sectarianism? Maybe. Only later, though. The first thing you think is “That man seems to be very asleep in…

When You Picture Robin Hood, What Do You See?

A healthy young man or a fox? — If this were a Buzzfeed article it would be called “The Image You Get in Your Mind When Someone Asks You to Picture Robin Hood Might Say a Lot About You!” This is an unwieldy title, but it is accurate, and I don’t know how else to say it. This…

Astrology Is Fake But Taurus Hates Change

No good reason either, they just haaaaaate it. — Some signs hate change because it interferes with their ability to be the main boss of the world. For example Scorpios. They hate change because it puts them on the back foot, even if only briefly, and forces them to recalculate their ongoing plans for war. …
