KickFlip Brings Skateboarding Beat-box to Deskside Thrill-Seekers

The music on this new Candystand game, dubbed KickFlip, is annoying as hell but unavoidably catchy. Like the interns who will undoubtedly be blowing office hours playing it, its single set of lyrics keeps chanting, “I want to skaaaa-ya-yate.”

There’s also an Extra ad that precedes the game in which a guy who looks suspiciously like an ad douche sticks some gum in his mouth and starts dancing under the transfiguring power of strobe. It physically hurt us.

Psychologists explain that the loneliest people in most social circles aren’t the quiet ones on the edges. They’re the organizers, the hosts, the ones who hold everything together, because no one thinks to care for the person who appears to need it least.

Quote of the day by Audrey Hepburn: The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul, in the caring that she lovingly gives — and psychology says truly good women embody this truth without performing it

I’m 65 and I have spent most of my adult life believing I was a good friend and the last two years discovering I wasn’t, that I was attentive when I felt like it, generous when it cost me nothing, present when presence was easy, and the evidence for this revision isn’t dramatic — it’s just the quiet of my phone, the shortness of the list of people I could call in a real moment, the specific quality of a Saturday that belongs to nobody

Behavioral scientists found that people without children develop a relationship to mortality that is psychologically distinct. Without biological continuation, they must construct meaning through contribution, connection, and presence rather than lineage, and that construction is both harder and, when successful, more intentional than most people realize.

I’m 65 and my son moved back at 32 and I want to be honest that it was simultaneously one of the most loving things I’ve done and one of the hardest, not because of anything he did but because I’d spent three years learning who I was in an empty house and found that I wasn’t entirely ready to stop being her, and holding both of those things at once was more complicated than any parenting book prepared me for

I chose law school because my parents cleaned houses and I wanted them to be proud. Now I’m 38 making $300K a year and I hate every single morning, but I can’t tell anyone because complaining about a successful life you hate sounds like privilege, not pain
