I feel bad for people who are plagued with loneliness. Whether it’s because they just moved to a new city and don’t know anybody yet or they recently had a falling out with their friend group of many years, it’s no fun to spend most of your time sitting at home alone watching TV without …

Some of our world’s greatest minds are trapped on Twitter. If they had been born in a different time, perhaps they’d be in the Roman forum, debating art and politics or making earth-shattering philosophical discoveries. Or perhaps they’d be beloved court jesters, clowning around for the king. Maybe they’d be acclaimed writers, crafting tomes that …

At a restaurant, I will fully disengage from my own dinner conversation to tune my ears into someone else’s. Nothing thrills me quite …
