Todoist is like one of those old shops in the neighborhood that has stood the test of time as other stores keep coming and going. For a productivity app to cross the decade mark, not only remaining relevant but improving along the way, is no small feat.
iMessage is Apple’s golden goose, ensuring many iOS users never dare stray from the Apple ecosystem, lest we end up a dreaded green text on someone else’s iPhone.

When I was a kid, my grandmother used to slip a $2 bill in my birthday card every year. I thought she was being cheap, but it turns out she was providing an easily storable asset that might have appreciated in value if I hadn’t immediately spent it on half a cup of coffee (I was a sophisticated child).

My family is weird about toasters. My stepmom and I long insisted that the toaster is a redundant and unnecessary appliance—you can toast bread under the broiler—while my father and boyfriend would much prefer access to the dedicated unitasker. My parents now have a toaster, however, and I’m not far behind. (The boys…

I don’t use my standard blender all that much, unless I need to puree a soup. I use my immersion blender on a weekly basis, mostly to make dressings, sauces, mayo, and other emulsions; occasionally I’ll also use it to make a smoothie or a quick milkshake. It has never occurred to me to sharpen the blades of either…

From Hunters, to Paper Girls, to The Peripheral—hell, arguably even The Rings of Power—Amazon seems determined to produce one quality show after another that they can dump a ton of money into and then abandon on the billion-dollar afterthought of Prime Video.

Hulu continues its quest to uproot HBO Max as the best streaming service with an eclectic bunch of new series and movies coming in March.
