The Birthday Effect (or Happy Death Day). | Missing Nuclear Weapons. | Venmo Knows Too Much.

Our birthday is a special day - a good reminder to pause and celebrate another year of life. It’s also the day we’ll most likely die. 

If you saw the movie Oppenheimer you know how destructively deadly nuclear weapons can be. Obviously it’s not a big deal that we’re missing a few of them, right?

Virtual wallet apps like Venmo are incredibly convenient. They’re also incredibly generous in giving away your personal information.
