Denmark Wants Your Pet… for Lion Food
So apparently in Denmark, zoos are asking people to donate their pets—yes, actual rabbits, chickens, even small horses—to feed their predators. I spiral. There's a lynx. And a giraffe named Marius. Danish people… what is going on?

Will Smith's Bounceback… or Breakdown?
I stepped outside into a 47-degree sandstorm — basically nature's version of a slap — and it still didn't sting as much as watching Will Smith freestyle on TikTok.

Old Men Yell at Each Other: The India-Pakistan Legends Drama

Passive Income, Pyramids, and British Teachers in Saudi
I'm not saying passive income is a scam — I'm saying if someone tells you they make money in their sleep, they're probably lying or married rich. Plus: a nostalgic spiral into the mystery of British teachers in Saudi in the '80s and '90s. Who were they? Why were they there? And why did they all look like they'd just escaped a Cold War spy movie? Also: fake gurus, real rent, and how I still don't know what an ETF does, but I have one anyway.

Why does the internet think I'm fat and in need of fame? This week: targeted ads for my midlife crisis, Coldplay's cheating scandal (but only his name went viral?), and why pronouncing it "lulu-leymo-n" might bankrupt you faster.

AI Won't Kill Us, But That Razor Might
