Florida overwhelmingly voted to ban greyhound racing, which means that by the end of 2020, thousands of dogs could be out of jobs. The good news is that you can adopt greyhounds at any time. They are very good dogs.

Happy weekend, everyone, and welcome back to 3-Ingredient Happy Hour, the weekly drink column featuring super simple yet delicious libations. This week we’re getting sauced with one of my favorite holiday flavors—cranberry.

I began to plow through chapter books almost as soon as I could read, and I distinctly remember a handful of “a-ha” moments while submerged in these novels. These moments occurred as I read about experiences I’d never had and people I never knew (I grew up in a pretty homogenous bubble—lots of white, Christian…

“I know gym mats are cheaper if you search for ‘horse stall mats’ instead,” says redditor MMAJakob on r/Frugal. “Weddings are cheaper if you call it a birthday party too. What are some other things that get cheaper when you call it something else?” Here are some of the best answers from the thread.

It feels deeply satisfying to hunt down a really good deal and see the huge savings you’ve gotten by standing on line for hours or clicking “buy” at just the right moment. Unfortunately, businesses know this—and they’re manipulating you.

Buying a vegan holiday roast is very much like playing Seitan Roulette. A classic Tofurky log is inoffensive at best, but the various competitors that pop up in Whole Foods this time of year ping-pong between “legitimately tasty” and “old boots with a whiff of sage.” If you’re sick of the usual faux-meat options, I…

Lifting weights is often about the challenge: can I really lift this much? Or, I already lifted this for eight reps, but can I do a ninth? So you need to prepare for what happens if you fail.

I always wanted to be a writer, at least as soon as I stopped wanting to be a private detective. But from the day I landed my first writing job, I was already planning on how to get some other, better job. For years I kept daydreaming about the ever-changing dream job (usually some form of screenwriting because I’m…

Tonight the Northern Lights are making one of their uncommon appearances in the continental United States (we’re jealous, Alaska, okay?) so if you’re in Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Washington, or the tippy-top of Michigan or Maine, you might get a rare chance to see them.

Some people love giving holiday presents: To them it’s an art, something to be mastered, a fun way to spend an afternoon or two. Others dread the annual giving of gifts, wishing family members would just say what they’d actually like instead of relying on their nearest and dearest to waffle back and forth between the…

Our ability to access reproductive health care shouldn’t be a political issue, but sadly it often hinges on politicians’ actions. The recent midterms have some pluses and minuses.

How many people out there are still using AOL Mail? I assumed it was all of three people, but apparently there’s still a considerable number of you clinging to your aol.com accounts. Do you hope AOL will make a grand resurgence one day? Are you nostalgic for the sounds of a dial-up modem? Do you hate Gmail? You can…

We’ve all heard that people don’t really change. Your mom will always be close-minded; your ex will always be selfish; and you’ll always be a tiny bit neurotic.

Over the years, I have not been shy about my indifference toward turkey. I’ve called it “a bit of a thermodynamic nightmare” with “the dumbest meat.” I’ve also been pretty clear about my preference for thighs—as dark meat inherently has more fat and flavor—but this buttermilk brined breast has me looking inward,…
