2. Science Proves (Again) That Watching Fox News Makes You Dumber Than Not Watching Any News At All
As far as ratings go, Fox News is #1.
Despite its clever branding claiming otherwise, Fox News Channel (FNC) is far and away the most popular mainstream cable news network. Since its inception in 1996, the channel has grown bigger, and bigger, and bigger.
But in 2012, a much-publicized study revealed a shocking crack in the Faux News facade.

4. Ten DEEP As Hell Women’s Voices
Hold on, a deep voice doesn’t automatically make everyone think you’re a man?
It does not!
Just listen to the women in the below list. Many of them probably have deeper voices than you (quiet from the bass section, please). What’s undeniable, though, is that their voices sound like women.

8. Black Mirror Season 6 Is Based On True Stories?!?!!!
Featuring AI performances by Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlie Brooker, and more.
Charlie Brooker spent the pandemic like most of us — consuming every true crime resource available. But he also did something no one else did: he turned those true crime stories into episodes of Black Mirror.

9. You’ll Never Listen to Jordan Peterson the Same Way
“Like Trump and all other grifters exploiting their followers for the money, they portray themselves as outsiders (millionaire outsiders) and martyrs (though they sacrifice nothing)…all while telling their audience exactly what they want to hear.” — Kareem Abdul Jabar, “Jordan B. Peterson’s DIY Cult: When Malicious Nonsense Passes for Worldly Wisdom”
People call Jordan Peterson intelligent and charismatic. As a person with endless intellectual curiosity, I can’t help but admire his compulsion for infinite regress over literally any topic or assertion — it kind of compels me along with him.
It’s turtles all the way down, baby!

10. Highlander, Vampires, And Transgender Immortality
What does it mean to be immortal? What if you’re trans — and you’re suddenly stuck with the body you’ve got? What if you’re immortal — and yet you can still die?
This video began as a long introduction to my high school Highlander short film starring me as the lead. I’m glad it turned into a deeper discussion on mortality — but most of all gratitude for my co-star and the kindness he showed me as a teenager.
After many years, I tried to reconnect with him but discovered he had passed away in the intervening years. Thank you for the kindness you showed me back then, my friend. Here’s to you ❤

11. A Brief Timeline Of Stephenie Magister (1983–2023)
Folks, I’ve written a lot of memoir shorts over the last couple of years. I wrote so many of them that I collected them into an anthology. They’re basically a book. Except they’re available for free online — but only if you use this link to bypass the paywalls.
Now from my perspective, the anthology means that all of you should already know who I am and how I got here, but the fact is — that’s a lot of reading! Even the shorter biographical articles I’ve written aren’t all that short and only cover certain parts of my life.
So I wanted to give everyone the fastest rundown of my life I’ve ever put down on paper. Or podcast. Or video. Or whatever way you found this.

12. I Am Trash
In the Fall of 1996, my dad drove me, his thirteen-year-old transgender daughter, to the mental institution I’d call home for the next two years.
