In the chaos of late-breaking news, some sources may report facts before they’ve had a chance to entirely vet them. It’s an unfortunate practice, but hey, when lots of big news is happening at once, a few things can get lost in the shuffle. Reporters correct them, and all is well. This happened last Friday.

Christmas is a cultural celebration, but for many it’s also a religious holiday, which creates a tension between the secular world represented by Santa, and the religious element embodied by the baby Jesus. That tension became too much to bear for pastor and Repent Alaska leader David Grisham, who thinks he’s on the losing side […] More
The Metropolitan Museum of Art just announced that it will not remove a controversial painting by French painter Balthus from public display. The painting, entitled “Thérèse Dreaming” (1938), depicts a young girl kicked back in a chair with her underwear visible beneath her skirt. An online petition signed by over 8,000 easily offended humans urged the museum to […] More
During an interview on BBC, a radio host made a pretty horrible mistake that made an entire culture of people pretty damn angry. During BBC’s “Woman’s Hour” interview, radio host Jenni Murray mixed up her guest as someone else. How can this happen? Well, because both women are Asian. In society, many Asian women feel […] More
Have you heard the conspiracy about the moon? No, not that the moon landing was faked, and that the famous footage of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the lunar surface in 1969 was filmed in a studio and directed by Stanley Kubrick.

It seems like escalators are only something that have been around since, like, the ‘70s, and that they would be made of plastic or metal, but no, they’re much older and you can apparently make them out of wood. Among the oldest — and most beautiful — wooden escalators in the world are the ones […] More
Someone going above and beyond their job description is always going to be appreciated, particularly when they’re serving up cold, hard justice to those who deserve it. Case in point: This news-making nanny in suburban Seattle. Her job: watch the kids. But when this woman is on duty, she takes it upon herself to watch […] More
John Boyega and Mark Hamill have the type of bromance many only dream of, and now they’re back at it again on Twitter, flaunting it before the entire jealous world.

Statue restorers in Spain have uncovered one of the oldest intentional time capsules ever discovered. How did they crack it? They looked in the crack…of a statue. Literally. A simple statue of Jesus called Cristo del Miserere (roughly “Christ of Mercy”) had stood in the Santa Agueda cathedral in the northern Spanish village of Sotillo […] More
Well, here we are potentially on the brink of a global nuclear holocaust. Exciting stuff, am I right? If you haven’t heard, North Korea has been trying to bolster their nuclear weapon technology. Public service announcement: This is not good news for the world. Since there sadly isn’t much you and I can do about the […] More
This video makes me feel many things. First off, I wonder how their boss feels when he sees this video. Not exactly the epitome of efficiency, definitely hysterical as long as you aren’t paying these guys. Think about sitting in bumper to bumper traffic for over an hour and finally passing this. A bunch of men just […] More
