At this point, it’s impossible to say for sure whether or not presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton is, in fact, attempting to “off” our nation’s elderly population. But judging by footage from the event, we can say that is almost certainly incredibly warm at Clinton’s rally in Raleigh.
Just like dentures, Metamucil and fringed lampshades, cable news has a devout following in just one sector of society: the old one.
Don’t you hate it when you’re out with your wife for lunch and you walk up by the dessert counter and then who do you see? Tim—the guy who can’t shut up about pneumococcal pneumonia.
The presidential campaign of timid celebrity child Jeb Bush has released an official physician’s letter stating that Jeb is in “excellent” physical condition. Excellent, Jebediah? Big talker.
A pair of 85 year-old twins in New York City are seeking a crew of “12 to 16 hearty souls” to help them sail a boat around the world until they die, then throw their bodies overboard. Why not?
Kids these days think they invented partying. Incorrect: People have stayed up all night getting wasted, ripping their clothes off, and doing ridiculous dances since the invention of booze. The primary difference between the way Baby Boomers got down and the way we do it today is that previous generations didn't have…
At 100 years old, there's no doubt that Scott Cleveland's grandmother has seen a lot of things, but the one thing she really wanted to see was her grandson's face underneath his dumb beard.
Nancy Fredrickson had just parked her car in front of her Seattle home when she turned around and saw a gun pointed at her face.
An elderly couple in the canton of Lucerne, Switzerland have confessed to stealing money from church collection boxes for months, saying that the adrenaline rush it gave them helped cure their boredom.
Yesterday, the good folks who run the venerable group/community blog Metafilter announced that it was in financial trouble. Founded in 1999, Metafilter has always devoted itself to a text-and-intelligence based approach to online discussion. Evidently, that's barely profitable these days.
In the "Amy Goes Deep" segment from last night's Inside Amy Schumer, Schumer deftly walks the line of vibing with and mocking 106-year-old Downing, who's being interviewed precisely because she is 106 (no other reason is needed). I love that Downing regularly lets Schumer's smart-assed questions fall flat, sometimes…
A nursing home made a great gift for their staff and family members of its residents: a limited edition calendar featuring its residents dressed as actors in scenes from their favorite classic films, including Titanic, Rocky, James Bond, Blues Brothers, Mary Poppins, and more.
A new paper in Topics in Cognitive Science argues that healthy old people aren't mentally enfeebled after all.

When you hear about people eating at a nice restaurant every night, you might return to your half-frozen Hot Pocket in resentment and disgust. But if that person is 103-year-old Harry Rosen, it kinda just warms your heart.
Three people—a 75-year-old man and two women, aged 66 and 54—have been arrested and charged with running a drug and prostitution ring out of a senior citizens' housing complex in Englewood, New Jersey. (Were you guessing Florida? Good guess, but not this time.)
Low-rent Viagra text ads blanketed a National Republican Congressional Committee website just as Pfizer announced the popular senior erection helper will now be available online directly from the manufacturer.
The Sunday Styles section of the New York Times exists to make folks mad, to be sure (and to sell handbag ads), but it is not really worth getting mad about this past weekend's paired section-front irritants—a profile of BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith, and a trend piece about people forsaking Brooklyn to …
Here is old as the earth former Senator Alan Simpson, come to urge you young people to stop tweeting and instagramming your eggs and whatever the hell this is, and use your social media savvy to get lawmakers to take control of the national debt. Sounds completely fool-proof.
A 100-year-old driver plowed into a crowd outside an elementary school, giving other 100-year-old drivers a bad name.
