A stunning story: Katie’s story: Frontotemporal dementia is rare and ruthless. When it robbed Katie of her husband at 33, his story became her life’s work.
This driving test has been infamous for decades: He Wants a New Start. So He Is Taking the Hardest Driving Test: in the World. In a world of GPS and car-hailing apps, some Londoners still want to drive a traditional black cab. First, they must memorize thousands of city streets.
Excellent: The Strange Fate of Flight 2069.
An excellent explanation. Lost Vegas: Everyone inside America’s most flailing destination city has a theory for what’s wrong. Now I have my own.
From Chris M., and it's not easy being fashion forward: Chimps are sticking grass and sticks in their butts, seemingly as a fashion trend.
From Wally, and how on earth is Facebook still up so high? Google retains spot as world's most popular internet service, but AI is growing fast. This will come in handy: The Ultimate Best Books of 2025 List. Bizarre (Claude did decently, though): “AI”: A Dedicated Fact-Failing Machine, or, Yet Another Reason Not to Trust It For Anything. Wait, why isn't Die Hard on this list? The 8 Most Expensive Christmas Movies Of All Time. Still relatively sharp, too: Dick Van Dyke at 100: His Iconic Career In Photos From ‘Mary Poppins,’ ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,’ and ‘Bye Bye Birdie’. This is terrific: Shelfies #66: James Logan. Somewhere out there is a parallel universe where I never bought that book, and my life probably looks very different. Certainly less fantastical.
