It’s a hodgepodge of young-people trendlets this week. I’m looking at the surprising reemergence of a slightly mysteriously 90s singer-songwriter, an innovative use for “deep-fake” voices, and the popular “de-influencing” trend, in which online viewers are urged to not buy things.

Tesla is voluntarily recalling 363,000 of their vehicles in the U.S. due to safety risks stemming from its latest ‘Full Self-driving’ (FSD) Beta software update. FSD can be used to drive the Teslas on local roads, accelerating and braking accordingly based on what it detects with its cameras. However, the system is …

Chicken can dry out in a snap. A few methods, like brining, marinating, and cooking over low heat can help, but there’s another technique that you should take advantage of. For a juicy, tender slice of chicken, bring on the velvet.

I write a lot about updates, because they’re important—and fun. Between new features, bug fixes, and security patches, each update is an invitation to dive in and see what’s new.

Fruit compote is one of the simplest ways to add a bright and sophisticated component to anything from ice cream to oatmeal, or even roasted meats. While you might normally make a big batch of berry compote in a pot on the stove, this would be overkill for a smaller endeavor, like French toast for two. For light work…

Plenty of updates have come and gone in Minecraft’s nearly 15-year history, but players have never had cherry blossoms. Minecraft is about to get pink, and you can try it right now.

Like most people, I love a good parm, be it eggplant or chicken. (I’m sure veal parm also tastes good, but I’ve never had it.) But making a parm can be a bit of an ordeal, particularly eggplant perm. Even though I make mine without any breading, it still requires salting and baking in an overly generous amount of oil.…

Black History Month is a great time to shout out some of the brilliant podcasts out there celebrating Black history and culture. (Which isn’t to say it’s  the only month we should be talking about them—far from it.)

From conversations about Black women on the internet to an exploration of why Black people love…

Have you ever seen those college career center posters that suggest you “Find meaning at work!”? Some showed happy people sitting at nondescript desks; others may feature a single professional in a stance of triumph, having apparently achieved something great. These posters were conveying a message that “meaning” was…

This week in puzzling online discourse, a subset of Gen Z is looking wistfully back on the era of the Motion Picture Production Code, also known as the Hays Code, a voluntary (well, technically) set of censorship standards Hollywood rigorously adhered to from 1934 through the late 1960s.

It all began with a plea for a…

Adidas is currently having a big sale of over 7,500 items that will go until Feb. 21, and you can combine it with gift card deals and a limited-time discount code. We tried it, and if everything works out the same as it did for us, you can shop with some steep discounts—including already discounted items.

AI angst has arguably never been higher. Some experts predict the AI singularity could happen within the next decade, and recent screenshots of Microsoft’s new Bing search AI expressing seemingly human fears and desires have some wondering if it’s already here.

Empanadas are absolute works of art. It’s true that I feel this way about all filled carb pockets, but that doesn’t diminish the savory perfection of the empanada. Even better, I’m happy to report that all of the empanada’s mouthwateringly meaty, salty, and crunchy characteristics convert seamlessly into chip and dip…
