‘Heave La France’: 13-year-old dog mysteriously throws up French flag, entertains Twitter

‘He sent me to the office for detention’: Father gets mistaken for high school student, is written up for infraction

I think I’ve always looked exactly the age that I am. It’s kind of a superpower. When I was 12, I looked 12. When I was 20, I looked 20. Once in a blue moon, someone will think I’m younger than I am, but not often. But guessing someone’s age is all about context. When …

We’ve got 20-year-olds telling 25-year-olds that they «look good for their age.» Middle-aged people are catastrophizing about young people killing various industries.
