The Best TikToks of 2025, According to Julie Klausner

Despite an arduous 12-hour ban at the beginning of 2025, the TikTok app keeps relentlessly pumping out content that becomes increasingly upsetting the longer you scroll, reinforces your worst fears about humanity when you read any comment section, harms your brain in ways in ways that are probably severe and permanent but it's too soon to say, and dispenses antisemitism at a "Lucy and Ethel standing over a conveyer belt of chocolates"-like pace.

People Who've Worked As Mall Santas Are Sharing The Funniest Thing A Kid Ever Asked For

I was a Santa for a neighborhood event at my grandparents' house. We weren't originally planning for a 'tell Santa what you want' thing, as it was mostly supposed to be me giving gifts, yelling 'ho-ho-ho,' etc., but one of the kids wanted to, so we ended up doing it.

How Lies Can Lead to Laughter

If you've been following my blog posts for any length of time-first, thank you-and second, you know that I love to write about certain patterns evident within humor. One of these is deception. There seems to be a lot of it showing up in a variety of humorous content, in jokes, true-life anecdotes, stand-up performances, and sitcoms of every stripe. Comedians relate stories about other people lying, as well as those times when they felt compelled to do the same.
