The White Lotus uses straightforward storytelling to explore straightforward themes. People go so nuts for it mainly because the casting is immaculate. The show’s secret sauce is a mixture of big names, recognizable-but-low-profile character actors, and total newbies—then having them turn in career-best (or…

Another day, another TikTok hack that seems clean and safe but could actually be a total disaster in practice. While some viral hacks actually are as miraculous as they seem, a newer one suggesting you make a reusable dryer sheet by soaking a sponge in a fabric softener solution (and then tossing it in your dryer) is…

We have officially entered holiday-shipping-panic season, that period of less than 10 days before Christmas when we suddenly realize how quickly the 25th snuck up on us, once again. If you are strategic, though, your packages can (maybe) still make it to their final destination before the big event. Here are some…

Canned fish has been chic for a few years now, but the chicness mostly extends to whole, preserved fish that come in neat little “tins,” rather than a common circular can. Canned salmon may not be as inherently chic as whatever sardines the hot girls are eating these days, but it’s the base of my favorite Christmas…

We’ll never truly get to relive the ‘90s again, but technology is getting us pretty darn close. This moment, you could be sitting in your modern home in 2022, surrounded by iPhones, big screen OLED TVs, and smart gadgets of all kinds, all the while experiencing a room decked out with classic posters, old-school TVs,…

If you have a sweater you love but no longer wear, there’s another way you can give it a new life: Better still, you can give an old piece of furniture new life, as well. Adding some texture or color to a tired piece of furniture with this unique DIY is both simple and thrifty. You can create a truly one-of-a-kind…

There was a time not long ago that vanilla reigned over the land of aromas. It’s in cookies, cakes, and foaming body wash. It’s written into the tomes of copy on chocolate morsel packages across the globe, and widely accepted as a balancer of flavors. Do you smell that? It’s not vanilla. I detect a hint of Change in…

Back in the mid-aughts, How I Met Your Mother seemed destined to become the next Friends—the kind of perennially rerun, rewatched sitcom that doesn’t often exist anymore. But then that finale happened, and fan enthusiasm for the show grew quickly less, uh, enthused.

You might fantasize about living a stress-free life, the reality is that stress is as inescapable as the need to eat and drink. Rather than avoiding it altogether, the focus should be on finding ways of managing it.

Unlike Firefox and Chrome, it’s not easy for Mac users to find good ad blockers for Safari. Apple has certain restrictions (like using the Mac App Store to ship updates) that drive ad blocker developers away from their browser, and as a result, your favorites from Firefox or Chrome might not work well on Safari, if…

“There’s an app for that” is as true in 2022 as it was in 2009. Every day, we dive through tech news, forums, and digital stores looking for the best apps to make your phone and computer even better. As the year draws to a close, we’ve highlighted 22 of our favorite apps we came across in 2022, including social media…

This week’s pop culture stew contains super men, super cars, and a super old game that kids are rediscovering. To add spice to the mix, I’m throwing in a pinch of “TikTok is the unlikely focus of an international power struggle.”

One of my favorite Christmastime treats is a three-ingredient sweet called “Rolo candy.” (At least that is what my family called it.) You take a mini pretzel, place an unwrapped Rolo on top, then heat it in the oven until the candy softens. Press a pecan half into the chocolate and let it set, and you have a…

When it comes to flaky, buttery pastry, I’m an equal opportunity eater, but that doesn’t mean that all flaky pastry is the same. Puff pastry and phyllo dough are two important flaky doughs. Both are popular, delicious, and readily available in the freezer section of many grocery stores, but there are some key…

It is big, big news that scientists were recently able to perform a nuclear fusion reaction that gave off more energy than it consumed. It is also true that this type of reaction could potentially be a useful energy source in the future. Or as physicists are fond of saying, useful nuclear fusion has been “10 years…

Is it your first holiday season with your boo? One of the biggest stressors during your first Christmas together is deciding what to get for your first big gift exchange. Even if you’ve been together since January and it’s almost been a year, it can feel like an uneasy milestone. You don’t want to get something too…

New year, same old Disney+ streaming strategy: Add a bunch of fairly obscure older series and movies while stringing along subscribers with that sweet, sweet franchise content. In this case, that means lingering episodes of National Treasure: Edge of History and Willow and the launch of a new season of Clone Wars…
