If you are playing Into the Oddish (no longer in pre-order, you can just straight up order it now), chances are you are going to eventually want to include a Pokémon that was not in the books. Some might say, “Why weren’t all 151...
We ate at Otto’s Cache in Jasper recently. The food was good — but the experience was exceptional. Everybody cared, and it showed. A fork slipped off the table and a replacement appeared within seconds. Someone was always checking in,...
People act like the replication crisis has discredited psychology, that the field is now widely agreed to be a sham, that it can be uncontroversially held up as an example of science gone wrong. These statements are often made in the...
When Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell did not lower interest rates as Trump demanded (Trump posted that Powell was a “TOTAL LOSER” and “TOO ANGRY, TOO STUPID, & TOO POLITICAL, to have the job”), Trump’s DOJ opened criminal investigations...
