Has Science Explained Life After Death? →
No, not entirely. But it’s an attractive header, yes?
Anyway, how insane would it be to have a combination near-death experience and out-of-body experience? YIKES!

“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.”

Safari in Los Angeles, in a home in MacArthur Park →
This is such a travesty to what journalism is/was and could still be. Quirkiness and snark have their space, but there’s an inherent lack of connecting the deeper layers of what they are observing in their blog.
It’s so disgusting they treat living with an immigrant family in LA like an episode of animal behavior on some National Geographic show, or just another way to trump the famed...
