Oh how we love contextual advertising. Surely, it’s a very effective form of online advertising and does it’s thing quite well about 98 percent of the time. That’s certainly worth celebrating but it’s that other two percent we love so much.

You know it. It’s that two percent that give us turpentine ads next to stories about a girl who committed suicide by drinking turpentine. “Card Shark” credit card copy next to an article about a woman killed by a shark. A free dinner for two offer from Olive Garden next to a story about how 250 people fot sick after eating at one of their restaurants.

We could go on but we’ll just share the latest find with you. Next to a Yahoo news story about a package of human body parts being delivered by DHL to a home in Michigan which were meant for a medical research lab, UPS wants in on the delivery action and, in a banner, touts its early morning delivery services. Why let DHL have all the fun.

Behavioral science says people who shower at night instead of morning tend to be the ones who live most deliberately — who mark time, honor transitions, and treat the boundary between one day and the next as something worth acknowledging rather than sleeping through without ceremony

Psychology says the reason reverse age gap relationships are rising isn’t about older people chasing youth — it’s because younger people are increasingly attracted to emotional availability over earning potential, and that shift is rewriting the entire power structure of modern dating

I’m 66 and the person who shaped me most wasn’t my father or my mother, it was a history teacher named Mr. Collins who looked at me in 1976 and said “you’re capable of more than this”—and those six words rerouted my entire life because nobody at home had ever suggested that the direction I was heading wasn’t the only direction available, and I’ve built a career, a family, and a sense of self on a sentence spoken by a man I haven’t seen in 40 years
