You know what’s worse than having your password stolen? Having your phone number stolen. SIM-swapping, a type of identity theft, is a means for scammers to get access to your phone number and all of the personal accounts secured through it.

Twitter is for yelling. I go on Twitter to yell, be yelled at, and to read slightly different takes and jokes about whatever we’re collectively yelling about that day. It’s not relaxing, but it is cathartic at times. In terms of Twitter-catharsis, nothing feels quite as good as the judiciously executed quote tweet.

Your kid has been muttering under his breath for the past five minutes as he works through his math homework; finally, he slams his pencil down in obvious frustration. “Why are you getting so frustrated?” you might ask. Or your preschooler comes rushing down the stairs to you, tears running down her cheeks; “Why are…

Anyone who has spent enough time on the internet knows not to believe everything you read. But scroll through Google search results and you’ll find yourself confronted with ads masquerading as news articles or other official content. These results are usually tagged with an “Ad” icon that most users will easily spot,…

Over the weekend, Bernie Sanders teased a $2.5 trillion housing plan, which, among other things, promises to establish a national rent control standard and make significant investments in affordable housing. Like Sanders, several other Democratic candidates have released proposals to tackle housing inequality in…

A crucial part of hosting a large get-together is providing enough ice. Tepid beverages are no fun, and parties should be fun. The most fun ice, of course, is crunchy, chewable pellet ice, also known as “nugget ice” and “the good ice.” This ice can be found in soft drinks at Sonic, and—in most locations—you can buy …

While customs vary around the globe, in the United States, tipping is the norm. We know this. We accept this. And we’ve watched tipping rates creep up over time. Once considered generous, 15% is now considered the bare minimum, while tips of 20% or 25% are becoming standard.

The best way to win an argument with an asshole is to ignore them completely. But that’s not always possible. Sometimes you need to convince someone to stop arguing and physically move away, or you need to de-escalate an argument with someone you need to co-exist with. Sometimes you need to quash a very bad idea…

Mueller didn’t save us from naked abuses of power and creeping fascism, but this Mueller vacuum sealer can at least save your food. Clip the $10 coupon to get it for $40, and you’ll find that it pays for itself in only a matter of months as meats, vegetables, and even cookies last for weeks and months instead of mere…

Grief is awful, but it can also be awkward. If someone you know is grieving, it can be hard to know what to say—or perhaps more importantly, what not to say—to them. Of course, your intentions are good and you want to make things better, not worse. Here’s what you need to know.

You’ve had the perfect baby name picked out for years. For as long as you can remember, you vowed your baby girl would one day be named Molly Elizabeth.
