Arthur Jones lives in Illinois, but he’s so much more than just that. He’s also a former high-ranking official in the American Nazi Party. As such, he’s also a Holocaust denier (he called it “an international extortion racket”), who is just as open about his other, let’s say, “controversial” beliefs. For example, he thinks the […] More
In 2014, the world was disturbed by a shocking crime out of Waukesha, Wisconsin. Twelve-year-old Payton Leutner was brutally stabbed 19 times in the woods. The perpetrators: Aneissa Weier and Morgan Geyser—friends and classmates of Leutner…and also 12-years-old themselves. While Weier orchestrated the attack, it was Geyser who did the actual stabbing. What led two […] More
There are times in life when our morbid curiosity almost—just almost—gets the best of us. We wonder “what would happen” if we did something we weren’t supposed to do, that we’ve been told our whole lives not to do, just because the consequences would be severely but vaguely “bad.” Probably at the top of that […] More
What truly scares you? An exotic disease you saw on some Discovery Channel show? The quiet weirdo at work who gives off serial killer vibes? Student loan debt? Someone recently posed the question to reddit, asking “What is the scariest, most terrifying thing that actually exists?” and the answers will keep you up at night. […] More
Air travel is a big deal, and it’s something we take for granted. Most of the conversations we have about flying are about the annoyances, like the long lines, or being packed in like sardines. We’ve lost sight of what a miracle of science and engineering it is, that we can hurtle through the sky […] More
Snakes are just straight-up creepy, and they freak out most of us. There’s just something we don’t trust about a creature that doesn’t blink or have what we would call “bones,” but who does have a long, often-forked tongue that silently slithers about en route to eat a mouse whole, or bite us and fill […] More
Reactions are great and all, but how the hell am I supposed to express the feeling of extreme discomfort with a thumbs up or little laughing face? A sad face is close, but just not quite there. Here’s my case for adding a “Cringe” reaction… 39. 38. 37. More
David Clarke is, to put it lightly, “tough on crime.” He’s the cowboy hat-wearing, conservative vitriol-spewing, former Milwaukee, Wisconsin, sheriff who advocated such poor prisoner mistreatment and was so opposed to prison reform that multiple people died in his jails. He resigned last August, but he never was repaid for his proud and vocal support […] More
Asbestos was a miracle substance in the mid-20th century, used as fire-proofing and insulation material in homes and industrial buildings. It’s made of tiny fibers that easily break down, get into the air, and are then inhaled. And then they make a nice home in the respiratory system where they can lead to lung cancer […] More
In 2014, two girls from Waukesha, Wisconsin, were arrested for a horrific crime, one made all the more horrific by how young they were at the time. Aneissa Weier and Morgan Geyser were just 12 years old when they brutally stabbed their friend Payton Leutner in a park 19 times, clearly intending to kill her. […] More
Not too many billionaires are universally liked. People don’t trust Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, for example, and lots of people really seem to dislike that Donald Trump guy. The one billionaire everyone can agree on: Oprah. All hail the Oprah! She’s loved by all because of the way she earned her money: entertaining, sharing information, […] More
Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency used online (and just about only online) has been around for a few years, but it remains mysterious and misunderstood. As such, its status as the leading contender for a future worldwide money system not tied to any central government captivated investors in 2017. Its value (or perceived value) has exploded over […] More
