We are the most comfortable generation in human history—and quite possibly the most annoyed. Our ancestors survived harsh winters, scarcity, predators, and genuine danger. We lose our composure when the Wi-Fi buffers or DoorDash is 10 minutes late. This isn’t because we’re weak; it’s because our brains weren’t designed for a world this easy. And strangely, the easier things become, the more intolerable any inconvenience feels. We live in an age where so many of our daily frictions have quietly disappeared. Our homes stay at the perfect temperature with barely a thought. Meals show up at our doors. If we’re…

Can someone who cares about Candace Owens please get her to a psychiatrist? Then again, the millions of viewers who lap up her crazed content could probably use a head check, too. In an X post Saturday, Owens claimed that “a high-ranking employee of the French Government” had warned her that President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron “have executed upon and paid for” her assassination; the kill squad includes at least “one Israeli.” She’s losing her last pinky-finger hold on reality. These paranoid delusions of grandeur are no surprise to anyone who’s been paying the slightest attention to…

Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year, but the season also holds some dark secrets in the shadows. While Christmas is now mostly associated with an abundance of Amazon boxes, forced family get-togethers, and baked goods, there was a time when the season represented the dangers of icy weather. Christmas may be well lit and paved now, but once upon a time, it was the season of darkness and death. The Dark Side of Winter Let’s start with the obvious: winter is bleak. The days are short, the nights are long, and everything is covered in ice…
