The TIFFANY PROBLEM occurs when a historical novel or film contains details that seem too modern to be true but are in fact correct for the time. The name Tiffany is one such example, it dates back to at least the 12th century.

It's so irritating when the kids experience existential crises on a road trip and there's not a humbling natural landmark for another 60 miles.

I was reminded this month that if you’re ordering books, Powell’s has a huge online selection, and it’s not Amazon.
(In fact, workers there are union. With ILWU, no less.)

An odd little thing: two poor young men entertain themselves by stalking strangers in the rain; eavesdropping on one of their victims at home, after dark, they encounter a ghost. The story is from 1952, this edition from 1976. 📚

If I had a nickel for every time I've won a white teapot shaped like an elephant in a white elephant gift exchange, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

WHOA! THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FRAUD.
GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility.
Her staff and others have been keeping this a secret from her constituents. So who’s been making these posts?

Everything about getting older is great except for the breakdown of the vessel that contains you (or, arguably, the breakdown of the vessel that is you).
