The week opened with one of the original Blair Witch actors going on record to say she wants nothing to do with the reboot, and it closed with me sitting in the dark at 2 a.m. crying over a Wicker Man bonus disc. In between, a YouTube guy who made a movie for eight hundred dollars got handed Leatherface, and a producer reminded everyone that the next Evil Dead takes place before color TV had fully settled in. Nobody is having a quiet June. Let us get into it. Rei Hance Read the Blair Witch Contract and Walked For weeks…

Perhaps you feel like your days are a bit of a blur, a forced march through to-do lists, filled with routines and obligations that leave little time for your partner, family, or yourself. Actually, you’re running on autopilot most of the time, and your life, to put it mildly, is a bit out of balance. If it’s any comfort, you’re not alone.

Nobody wants to be called a nag. The word itself is dismissive. It transforms what may be a valid request, concern, or attempt at coordination into a character flaw. Suddenly, the problem is not the overflowing laundry, unpaid bill, school form, meal planning, or broken system—it becomes the person who keeps bringing it up. This is what I call the “nag paradox”: The more one person has to remind, prompt, follow up, and manage the shared responsibilities of a life together, the more likely they are to be criticized for nagging. But the reminders often happen because the task, need,…

Is God Is is easily one of the best horror films of 2026 … even if it wasn’t exactly marketed as one.Is God Is stands out in a year of indie horror hitsIs God Is SHOULD have been this year’s Sinners. Despite being released in the same window that gave us Obsession, Backrooms, Hokum, Passenger and several other heavily hyped and acclaimed indie horror films, however, Is God Is underperformed at the box office and was largely ignored by online fans. The critics seemed to love the film, but with just $5 million in theatrical grosses against a roughly $15…

We know why looking after our health, saving money, or having a job are important issues. But we don’t know why football (soccer) is important. Before proceeding, I must clarify that I don’t particularly like football. But I probably don’t like it for the same reasons I don’t like many aspects of life, because football is like life itself. It is its perfect metaphor. Mythologies Let me explain: football, like life, fosters the prospect of success, but, like life, it frustrates at least as often as it rewards, and frequently much more. Like life, football has myths, cheating, mysteries (the…

This month, we are diving into a hot executive function skill topic: designing personalized, ADHD-friendly systems that work for you. This is part of the organization executive function skill. Organization is an executive function skill (a brain-based skill). For some of us, it’s a strength; for others, it’s a challenge; and for many, it’s somewhere in between, depending on the context or the specific task. Whether it is a strength, a challenge, or a moderate for you, you can improve. When inevitable mistakes happen (they happen for all of us), remember: It’s not your fault. It’s your brain doing its…

Are we alone? This is one of the ultimate questions and, so far, there is no definitive answer. This reality is at odds, however, with the steady flow of confident but unsubstantiated UFO claims coming from prominent politicians, journalists, and podcasters. Add to this the broad and persistent influence of entertaining films, deceptive pseudo-documentaries, and sensationalized releases of government and military files, and it’s not surprising that more than a third of Americans believe intelligent extraterrestrials have visited the Earth. According to a Chapman University survey, 35.3% of American adults believe that aliens have visited the Earth in modern times,…
