When you're planning the biggest event of your life, what is possibly a once-in-a-lifetime event, it's important to make sure you actually get to the planning part of it and not just leave essential parts to chance… this, coming from someone who is notoriously poor at planning beyond the end of the week. If you want to go on a trip that is going to require you to take time off work, you should probably make sure you request the time off work first so that you're not stuck with an already booked…

Francis Ford Coppola is preoccupied with time. The passage of it, the halting of it, even its cyclical nature through the repetition of events in history. The 85-year-old legendary filmmaker’s relationship with time is on full display in his latest film, the self-funded, PR-crisis-ridden “Megalopolis.” Unfortunately, a lack of self-awareness on the part of the script and its author leads to an often nonsensical and unclear narrative that ultimately clouds Coppola’s often-dizzying, grand ideals…
via BoliviaInteligente on Unsplash In the span of just a few years, we've gone from barely understanding what AI does to seeing it used everywhere. Your inbox is likely chock-full of companies bragging about their latest AI updates. On photo editing sites, AI generation is touted on the home page. X, formerly known as Twitter, has an AI named "Grok," while Google has the cutesy "Gemini." They want you to talk to these artificial beings, ask them questions, and even let them be your personal ass…
Sometimes, the best way to capture a social phenomenon is with a good old-fashioned chart. That's likely what your teacher said in elementary school, but the same sentiment remains true as an adult.

The nerds among us are likely to agree, but the truth of the matter is that pie charts can cover more than just math and science. Here, we have a collection of funny pie charts that…
This neighbor even kept part of the costume for herself!
This employee worked in the contracts department of a major software company, which they refer to as “MidSoft Inc” Continual foolish decisions that thought of nothing but the bottom line and cost-cutting measures, driven by the ravenous interests of private equity investors, reduced the company's senior development team from 12 to one soldier, “Sam.” While the ledger might have looked better for a time, the immeasurable loss of institutional knowledge and literal lifetimes of experience would g…

Hopefully, you're getting paid for those all-hands-on-deck moments. However, if your boss is the kind of person who needs to know where you are at all times, that's a different story.

She's stunned

Not only has it become commonplace for concertgoers to eclipse the view of those behind them with cell phones and signs, but it has also become far more commonplace for concertgoers to shriek lyrics passionately at the top of their lungs, drowning out the…
