I hope you like Moon Knight and nature documentaries, because otherwise, there’s not a lot new to celebrate on Disney+ in April. The aforementioned Oscar Isaac-starring Marvel series, which premieres March 30, will continue to spool out new episodes throughout the month, and it’s a good thing the streamer opted for…

Earlier this week, I made some violent chili. I confused chili powder with ancho chili powder, and poured a quarter cup of pulverized ancho chilis into a pot of simmering tomatoes and ground sirloin. It was good, but it was powerful.

If you’ve ever had a manager, you’ve likely received feedback; feedback which may have been delivered via a “shit sandwich,” where negative feedback was packaged between two layers of positivity. (It’s alternately known as a “praise sandwich” which is not nearly as fun to say.) This approach involves first…

To hear TikTok tell it, banana peels are an amazing fertilizer for your garden due to their high potassium content and the fact that you get them basically for free (assuming that you eat bananas). The reality is a lot less exciting.

At the height of the pandemic, one of my friends—a self-proclaimed elder millennial who asked to remain unnamed—packed up their family of four in Brooklyn and sought refuge upstate. Buying property was no small investment, but at a time when cities were largely shut down, the rural prices felt like an opportune move.

Masturbation is a normal part of human physiology, but we (as a society) have managed to invent dozens of truly bizarre myths just to guilt ourselves into feeling bad whenever we do it. (Did anybody ever think they would really go blind or grow hair on their palms?)

There’s nothing adults like more than getting angry about movies made for kids, but this week’s culture skirmish over Pixar’s innocent tween movie Turning Red is as ridiculous as dressing like a clown on purpose.

Dating apps really haven’t been around that long, in the grand scheme of things, but they’ve become a staple in modern life. Like dashing out a quick work email after business hours, ordering a whole meal for delivery without picking up the phone, or hailing a cab directly to your location with the touch of a button,…

Ocean quahogs can live to be over 500 years old. These clammy assholes spend centuries doing nothing but burrowing into the ocean floor and filtering algae out of sea water. People, on the other hand, only get like 78 years before we die! This is not fair.

Personally, I live actively in defiance of death, and I will…

So, your internet is acting funny, maybe a little sluggish, even after multiple router resets and disconnecting excess devices. While there are many possible reasons your internet is acting up, many folks will understandably start to wonder if one of the neighbors is mooching off their wifi.

You just suffered a bad breakup. After you’ve curated the sad Adele playlists, emptied out your tissue boxes, and dealt with the emotional and mental fallout, next comes one of the hardest parts of the tragic ordeal—you have to deal with getting your stuff back from your ex.

The case for pay transparency is gaining traction. Next month, the New York City Pay Transparency Law, which mandates that companies disclose salary ranges for all job postings, is set to take effect. Although pay transparency is enforced in some places (see state laws in California and Colorado), disclosing how much…

With gardening season upon us, every green thumb must ask themselves: What should I plant this year? And if you’re planning to involve children in your gardening process, you may be wondering the best way to get them involved, and keep them interested. According to HGTV, one of the best ways to occupy those short…

Perhaps it is my age or perhaps it is the fact that I am a creature of habit—the habits may be chaotic but they are habits nonetheless—but I have been having a heck of a time getting back into my groove after a uniquely chaotic first week of March. A few balls got dropped that week, including this genius comment from…

All surgeries, whether medically necessary or cosmetic, have something pretty big in common: You’ll be cut into, even if only a little bit. Incisions leave scars which, if you’re focused on preserving your health or accomplishing a goal, might not be that big of a deal to you in the moment. Still, if you’re worried…
