There’s something about sourdough. Even if you prefer a crusty French baguette paired with your bowl of soup, as I do, a sourdough loaf has undeniable appeal. It’s chewy. It’s tangy. It’s made from a weird living thing you keep in your fridge and feed like some sort of gooey pet. Ah yes, as so […]
If you’re in the mood for a good chuckle (who isn’t?), the winners of the 2024 Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards are in and they’re sure to make you smile at the very least. First up: The overall winning photograph, seen above, is aptly titled “Stuck Squirrel” and was captured by Milko Marchetti in Italy. […]
It’s a human reality: We tend to remember negative experiences and stories over positive ones. Scientific research backs that up, but it also shows that we can adapt those memories by taking a more optimistic approach to our recollections. All that’s to say, if you find yourself only thinking about the lows of 2024, Nice […]
The bottles have been popped, the cookies have been eaten, and the tree has been tucked into its box for another year (unless you’re like some Nice News team members who keep it up for a few more weeks). But the joy doesn’t have to end with the holiday festivities. Now that we’ve kissed 2024 […]
Glinda the Good Witch said it best: It’s all about popular. Sometimes it seems that being likable is the key to thriving socially and professionally in our culture (whether you like it or not). After all, when Glinda gleefully belts the lyrics, “It’s not about aptitude, it’s the way you’re viewed,” she has a point. […]
Imagine a veritable time machine that transports you into the heart of life in a thriving 1950s mining community. That frozen-in-time place exists — Erie Street, part of historic Lowell, in Bisbee, Arizona. Thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers, visitors can get a real feel for a stretch of Lowell during its glory days […]
“A lick of paint never hurt anyone” appears to be Megan Russell’s motto, but as evidenced by her impressive portfolio, the international street artist’s paintings go far beyond just a lick. Climbing an office building in Sheffield, England, is a 25-meter-tall mural depicting colorful birds, butterflies, and glimmering blue-green water — a piece so stunning […]
On April 3, 1968, standing before a crowded church, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. painted his vision for justice. “I’ve seen the Promised Land,” he said. “I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.”
“I do not like being bored,” Tanitoluwa “Tani” Adewumi wrote in his memoir, My Name Is Tani … and I Believe in Miracles. We can tell: At 8 years old, he won a New York state chess championship’s K-3 division after only learning how to play a year prior, thanks to the hours he spent […]
Your home should be your place to space out, so to speak — a sanctuary to unwind and clear your head. But to do that, you need actual space. It doesn’t matter if you live in a 5th floor walkup or sprawling estate — if your living area is packed full of clutter, it can […]
When the “no-buy” trend blew up on TikTok in 2024, many participants found it hard to stick to. That’s not much of a surprise, as the challenge involves completely abstaining from spending money on non-essential items, typically for an entire year. But in 2025, a new iteration has emerged — one that’s much more manageable […]
You may have seen the pictures: crowds of people standing on their tippy toes and contorting their bodies with phones held up high, all to get a glimpse and probably a photo of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa.” While efforts have been made to control the chaos, it seems the scene has reached a tipping […]
