Things I'd Rather do Than go to Work
I can think of 10 million things I’d rather do than go to work tomorrow. Sure, I'll clock in with a smile on my face and fake my way through yet another eight-hour day. But, if I can be honest with you guys, I’m crying in the bathroom thinking about work. Yup. It’s THAT bad.

Tyron Woodley vs Anderson Silva
In the world of mixed martial arts, few names command as much respect as Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva. Although these two legendary fighters never faced each other inside the UFC Octagon, fans have long speculated about how a matchup between them might have unfolded. Their careers overlapped just enough to make the debate realistic, yet circumstances, weight classes, and timing kept the fight from ever becoming official.

Russian Nuclear Submarine Accidents: Tragedies Beneath the Waves. AI-Generated.
When discussing nuclear dangers, people tend to picture missile silos or power plant meltdowns. Yet far beneath the waves lies another, often secretive, source of risk: nuclear-powered submarines. For Russia (and formerly the Soviet Union), these silent leviathans have been both a symbol of technological might and a source of catastrophic disasters. Their history is punctuated by accidents that blend human error, technical flaws, secrecy, and staggering bravery—sometimes with global implications.

A List Taller than My Capabilities...
Today was a Sunday without my kids and typically I try to get a lot done, but today I slept - a lot. I didn't wake up until 9am. Stayed up until almost 10am in order to talk to my kids, and then slept until after 11am.

Nude on the Moon
Hello. I'm Tom Baker, a.k.a. C. Augustine, T. Baker, T. Boneman Bakker (God so help us), T. Bakker, and, as an experimental musician, I’ve gone by monikers such as Extreme Volume Pop, Meat Glue, Two-Headed Lamb, Unknown, Anon Pop, Iggy K., etc. No one on the green rolling hills of Mother Earth knows who the hell I am, nor cares. I have a tremendous body of work—both as a writer and avant-garde musician—as well as dozens of paintings, some of which I’ve sold for hard cash. Recognition eludes me almost as much as the ability to have my work exposed to a greater audience; but maybe that’s for the best. Fame isn’t very desirable, perhaps. Vide the case of Charlie Kirk.

The Missing Language Every Engineer Should Speak.
Materials Engineering: The Missing Language Every Engineer Should Speak.. When most people think about engineering, they picture drawings, site coordination, schedules, and meetings. But quietly sitting under all of that is something far more fundamental: the materials themselves.

The Day the Train Went Backwards
Yes, the latest train line is named after one of my favourite 80s indie rock groups. Yes, I have already written about it from the opening of its second line. And yes, it has spoiled me to the point that I have avoided the metro more often than is healthy.

The New Wave of Home Bar Culture
A Shift Toward Everyday Entertaining The home bar is no longer a relic in a paneled basement. It lives where the action is and works on any Tuesday night. Millennials favor small groups and easy flow, which means bar zones that tuck beside a sofa, slide along a narrow cabinet, or roll in on a slim cart. The goal is warmth, not flash. Think edited bottles, a clean work surface, and tools that earn their keep. Hosts skip the scramble for reservations and pour at home, where playlists stay low and the light is kind. Craft culture supports the shift. People practice equal parts classics, shake fewer sugary drinks, and keep vermouth sealed and cold. Simple syrups are labeled and dated. A squeeze bottle of honey syrup does double duty for tea at breakfast and a Gold Rush after dinner. Ice molds stack in the freezer so the first round feels calm, not rushed.

Hot Rod Rumble
Should have been made in 1956 with guys and dolls in early Johnny Cash dos. You know, when he had prominent Roy Orbison hair over that same dour Man-in-Black visage. When everybody Walked the Line, baby. Even June Carter when the Grand Ol' Opry said no to John after busting out some footlights with his big toe.
