With key government agencies going dark faster than a GPS-guided SUV losing signal in a DMV parking lot, we’re left to ponder: what would have happened to our beloved fairy tales if faced with our current regulatory kerfuffles? How would our favorite fairy tale characters have dealt with today’s bureaucracy and red tape? The following articles tackle precisely that. We’re unearthing bureaucratic blunders incurred by Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Elves and the Shoemaker, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, and The Little Mermaid. Even the IRS can’t audit imagination, and with OSHA inspectors furloughed, storytelling’s about to get seriously…

Sordid Sayings and Pompous Proverbs Unraveling the truth behind the lies
The early bird catches the worm So, we’ve all heard the phrase “The early bird catches the worm,” right? A classic nugget of wisdom, passed down through generations, warning us that if we hit snooze one too many times, some overachieving, oat-milk-latte-drinking go-getter is gonna snatch our opportunities right out from under us.

Nursery rhymes. We grew up with them—simple, sing-song verses that tucked us into bed, danced through playgrounds, and echoed in the background of childhood. They were whimsical. They were catchy. But were they… logical? Not really. For most of us, nursery rhymes were innocent, rhythmic nonsense—until now. Enter Raymond “Ray” Babbitt, the methodical, numbers-obsessed savant from the film Rain Man, here to deconstruct these childhood classics with his signature blend of precision, routine, and keen observation. In his world, rules are rules, structure is non-negotiable, and things should make sense. Except, well, they don’t. Raymond’s objective analysis of each rhyme exposes the absurdity lurking beneath the surface. Why was Mary’s…

The Billion-Beat Club Exercise is the only thing that matters
Chapter One Forget Everything You Thought You Knew About Exercise Alright, I need you to hear me out, because what I’m about to say will probably ruffle some feathers. But that’s fine. Sometimes the truth stings, and frankly, it’s about time we all got a little uncomfortable. Exercise is the only thing that matters. Yeah, I said it. I’ll say it again if you need me to. Not love, not happiness, not stress management, not mindfulness, not even that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you watch videos of baby goats wearing pajamas. None of it. When you peel back all the layers, strip away the fluff, and really look…
