Why does music get stuck in our heads?
If a song gets stuck in your head, how can you get it out?
First, remain calm. That Abba song can’t last all day. Can it?
Diagnosis:
If an undesirable song seems to persist in your mind, you have what’s called an Ohrwurm. That’s German for “ear worm.” These worms can be insidious and frightening. Do not panic.
One of the most important properties of music is that we can listen to it over and over. Tha Read more of this blog post »

"4.5*... This is a charming, sometimes melancholy "cozy sci-fi" or "cozy dystopian" novel. The best way I can describe it? It's basically The Brave Little Toaster meets Wall-E, but written for the A Man Called Ove crowd. I'll be the first to admit it:"

"The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances is an absolute delight; warm, thoughtful, quietly emotional, and surprisingly profound. Going into this, I was expecting something light and quirky, and while it absolutely delivers on charm, it also brings a "

“The Grid in fact began with the transportation of goods. It began with self-driving cars and then semitrailers, and soon it was running trains and airports and the cargo ships that carved across the immense oceans. Those in control loved the efficiencies, but in time, the Grid took over everything, and all the jobs that had once fallen to Humans were done now, much more economically, by this all-encompassing Grid. For some, this was a good thing. For many, it was accepted as a natural progression. But for a few, like Kate, this was a constraint, something from which to escape.”
