In 2015, the lives of Chris and Christina Haslage changed the moment a friend forgot where he had parked his car. While it's a relatable mishap for many, the couple from Ohio said the level of confusion in their friend was uncharacteristic. Worse, it sparked an all-too-familiar feeling of dread...

Thanksgiving or not, I’m thankful for patty melts. Sitting at Dairy-Ette with a root beer, glass glazed with frost, iPhone’s predictive autocorrect hopes to change “patty melt” to “party melt.” Sure — that’ll do just fine. Do whatever you want, iPhone. Either way I’m having a buttery, toasted party melt...

In a move that, frankly, kinda sucks from the never-too-much-to-write-about perspective, conservative yakker Glenn Beck's Irving-based TV station is shutting down, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Blaze — as Beck's media and TV empire is known — went on the air in 2012, two years after The Blaze's web launch...
