Every year since 1966, the town of Gavle, Sweden, erects a giant straw goat for Christmas, and almost every year, vandals burn it.

Each February, 80% of all honey bees in the US are in California to pollinate the almond trees.

Laura Dern was blacklisted in Hollywood in the 1990's after playing a lesbian character. That was the 90's for you when homophobia was still strong and very pervasive.

When you first meet people it is common to forget their names - a phenomenon called the ‘next-in-line' effect. This is because people are too worried about themselves, and what they'll say next, to focus on remembering the names of people they're introduced to.

I just learned that today is the 28th and the month doesn't end until Friday! Until this morning, I thought the month ended tomorrow.

1. Maybe I'm being gaslighted
