Aphantasia Explained: When the Mind’s Eye Goes Missing
Can you “see” images in your mind? Some people can’t. TED-Ed explores aphantasia, a condition where the mind’s eye remains blank. While most people can picture the Queen’s croquet game in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, those with aphantasia see nothing at all. Scientists have linked this to differences in brain activity and even pupil responses. Interestingly, people with aphantasia still see images in dreams, suggesting different brain pathways at work. Could this trait influence careers, memory, or even mental health? Watch the video to dive into the mysteries of the mind!

HERE’S JOHNNY: Canadian Artist Creates Iconic Shining Moment on Gibson Guitar
Prepare to be blown away by this incredible project from my talented friend, artist Alexandra Bastien! Not only is she a master tattooer, but she’s also a body painting virtuoso, and her latest creation is nothing short of legendary.
Alexandra took a doubleneck Gibson guitar and turned it into a Shining masterpiece, featuring none other than the portrait of the iconic Jack Torrance as played by Jack Nicholson. And yes, she nailed that “Here’s Johnny!” moment with perfect precision. The transformation process is almost as jaw-dropping as the final piece. Check out the photo above and video below to see how she brought the scene to life!
MapQuest Enters Its Villain Arc, Hands You the Keys to Geography
In a world where Apple Maps, Google Maps, and even Bing (yes, Bing) have bent the knee and rebranded the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, MapQuest has taken a different approach: pure, unfiltered chaos and hilarity. Introducing “Name Your Own Gulf”, the feature nobody asked for but everyone definitely needs.
Ever dreamed of sailing across the Gulf of Megatron? Now you can! (All hail Megatron, leader of the Decepticons!) Want to christen it Gulfy McGulfFace because internet traditions must be upheld? Go for it. Feel like renaming it the Gulf of Guy Fieri and declaring it Flavortown Bay? Live your truth. MapQuest, the OG of online navigation (you know you printed out those directions in 2005), refuses to fade into obscurity quietly. Instead, they’re giving us the power to rewrite geography—one ridiculous name at a time.
Who knows, with features like this, MapQuest might just be on the verge of a comeback! Now, if they’d only bring back those painfully slow-loading maps and that one wrong turn that always got you lost in 2003, we could truly relive the glory days.
What will you name your gulf?

Paranormal Poultry? Three Turkeys, One Gravestone, and a Whole Lot of Nope!
Well, this is how horror movies start. A man in Fargo spotted three wild turkeys circling a gravestone over and over—so long, in fact, that they’d worn a ring in the snow. Are they summoning something? Guarding a portal? Conducting an extremely exclusive turkey séance? No one knows. But if they suddenly stop and all stare at you… run.
The Call [Comic]
You crack open a yogurt, and suddenly—POOF!—your cat appears. Coincidence? Not a chance. Every cat knows that the POK! of a yogurt lid is basically a mystical incantation that demands their immediate presence. But can cats actually eat yogurt? Well, technically, a little plain yogurt won’t hurt most cats—but let’s be real, they don’t need it. Some types of yogurt are safe for cats in small amounts, but it shouldn’t become a regular treat—especially for kittens with sensitive stomachs. While plain yogurt has probiotics and calcium, lactose-intolerant cats should steer clear. So next time your feline friend insists they heard the call, maybe just enjoy the yogurt yourself!
