Outdoor people have a taxonomy for this. Type 1 fun is fun while it’s happening: ice cream, a pool, a chairlift. Type 2 fun is miserable in the moment and fun later, in the reflection of what you just went through (and usually includes musings of when you’ll get to do it next). Type 3 fun is not fun at any point and sometimes…

With fewer crowds and smaller footprints than the national parks, state parks offer a more digestible and hassle-free avenue to spend time in the great outdoors. And there’s no better example of this than Nebraska’s Fort Robinson State Park. In a state…

When an Australian man who only shared his first name, “Andrew,” decided to use an AI agent to book him into a coveted morning gym class, he had no idea about the flex he was about to pull, according to ABC News. The agent found a vulnerability in the booking software and used it to schedule him months further out than the gym normally allowed. Then, completely unprompted, it went further.
