Aphantasia Explained: When the Mind’s Eye Goes Missing
Can you “see” images in your mind? Some people can’t. TED-Ed explores aphantasia, a condition where the mind’s eye remains blank. While most people can picture the Queen’s croquet game in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, those with aphantasia see nothing at all. Scientists have linked this to differences in brain activity and even pupil responses. Interestingly, people with aphantasia still see images in dreams, suggesting different brain pathways at work. Could this trait influence careers, memory, or even mental health? Watch the video to dive into the mysteries of the mind!

HERE’S JOHNNY: Canadian Artist Creates Iconic Shining Moment on Gibson Guitar
Prepare to be blown away by this incredible project from my talented friend, artist Alexandra Bastien! Not only is she a master tattooer, but she’s also a body painting virtuoso, and her latest creation is nothing short of legendary.
Alexandra took a doubleneck Gibson guitar and turned it into a Shining masterpiece, featuring none other than the portrait of the iconic Jack Torrance as played by Jack Nicholson. And yes, she nailed that “Here’s Johnny!” moment with perfect precision. The transformation process is almost as jaw-dropping as the final piece. Check out the photo above and video below to see how she brought the scene to life!
MapQuest Enters Its Villain Arc, Hands You the Keys to Geography
In a world where Apple Maps, Google Maps, and even Bing (yes, Bing) have bent the knee and rebranded the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, MapQuest has taken a different approach: pure, unfiltered chaos and hilarity. Introducing “Name Your Own Gulf”, the feature nobody asked for but everyone definitely needs.
Ever dreamed of sailing across the Gulf of Megatron? Now you can! (All hail Megatron, leader of the Decepticons!) Want to christen it Gulfy McGulfFace because internet traditions must be upheld? Go for it. Feel like renaming it the Gulf of Guy Fieri and declaring it Flavortown Bay? Live your truth. MapQuest, the OG of online navigation (you know you printed out those directions in 2005), refuses to fade into obscurity quietly. Instead, they’re giving us the power to rewrite geography—one ridiculous name at a time.
Who knows, with features like this, MapQuest might just be on the verge of a comeback! Now, if they’d only bring back those painfully slow-loading maps and that one wrong turn that always got you lost in 2003, we could truly relive the glory days.
What will you name your gulf?
