The Best July 4 Poem Ever: Trump, Biden, and...Tennyson? 1:04:12

11d ago1:04:12

1:04:12

It's not the most inspiring July 4 I've ever lived through, I'll say that much.

Is Anxiety a demon? It's a question raised, weirdly, by the most popular kids' movie in America right now--and by the entire practice of modern psycotherapy. Typically, when we try to understand mental illness, we refer to natural causes like brain chemistry or personal and family history. But are there some forms of cognitive disorder that don't o…

Is AI taking on a life of its own? Or is it just a mindless machine? Sly grin why can't we have both?
