When I first joined TikTok in 2020, I couldn’t go a day without seeing videos about abusive narcissists, whether in the form of “toxic” exes, or emotionally absent parents. While narcissists obviously do exist, the content was so prevalent that you’d be forgiven for thinking narcissists were as common as people named…

After season four of Ozark dropped in January, and the premiere of Inventing Anna in February, it looks like March will be tragically devoid of projects starring the incredible Julia Garner. Nevertheless, we march on, and next month brings a typical Netflix slate of murder (fake, scary), murder (fake, funny), and…

When Slack goes down, it’s a big deal. In 2019, the workplace communications software company announced it had over 10 million daily users—and as workers shifted to home office settings amid the pandemic the following year, needing increasing ways to stay connected with colleagues, we can safely guess that number went…

You may be thinking about sprucing up your abode or prepping your home to sell, and one of the quickest, easiest ways to transform the look of your home exterior and instantly boost curb appeal is to give your front door a fresh coat of paint. But with thousands of colors to choose from, how can you narrow the search…

I’ve been ghosted and I’ve done the ghosting. When someone ghosts me, I assume it’s because they’re so in love with me, the prospect of texting me back is simply too overwhelming. My name pops up on their phone screen, and for my suitor, it’s like looking at the sun. And so, consumed with emotions too powerful to…

If I’ve learned nothing else from heavy metal, horror movies, and Dungeons and Dragons, I’ve learned that demons are awesome. I want to invite as many as possible into my life to do my bidding and compete in fiddle contests. I’m sure you do, too, so I’ve prepared a step-by-step guide to summoning otherworldly…

Good knives have a long shelf life if you take care of them: wash them by hand, store them in a dedicated place, and keep them sharp. Even dull blades can be salvaged.

I’ve always been perfectly content to watch movies by myself. It’s all well and good if it’s 2 Fast 2 Furious or Uncharted, but there are movies that demand a little more attention and reward careful attention—and kids, partners, and even friends can be, frankly, distractions.

Given the proliferation of weird and dangerous internet “challenges” like the Tide Pod challenge, the blackout game, and the milk crate challenge, it’s easy to get all high and mighty about how dumb and ridiculous kids are. But you were dumb once, too. Your parents were dumb. Their parents were dumb. London hipsters…

Broccoli is a journeyman vegetable. It can be counted on to show up and do its job, and can be great without too much coaxing on your part. Then there are its fancier cousins and friends: broccolini (sometimes called “baby broccoli”), broccoli rabe, and Chinese broccoli.

When we refer to someone who is “extremely online,” it’s pretty literal. This is someone who knows—and references—all the latest memes and never the outdated ones that peaked three weeks ago. They are always on Twitter and, if not participating in the daily discourse, at least observing it. They know all the news of…

When Rome fell to the barbarians, it didn’t happen overnight. The same thing can be said for neighborhoods that get ruined by short-term rentals like Airbnbs. When you bought your home or signed the lease on your apartment you probably thought you were buying a refuge, a place where you could relax, recharge, and live…
