When I was younger, I vowed I’d never be end up a clueless old jerk with no idea what was going on in the world, but I realized today that it’s time to give up on that dream.

There are more than a few…

Last week, Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems reached a settlement in a landmark defamation case stemming from the 2020 election, and the immediate reaction from the online communities (Twitter and Reddit) was something like disappointment.

In a comment that received over 8,000 upvotes on r/news, Reddit user …

I love my Roomba, and I hate my Roomba. The endearing little beeps and boops, the hypnotic but inexplicable path it takes across my floor, the possibility of training woodland animals to ride it across the floor…there’s a lot to like. But, three years into its use, I have some bones to pick. Here are all the things…

Dave’s Hot Chicken started as a single popup in a Los Angeles parking lot in 2017. Today, it’s in 20 states and Washington D.C., and it’s on track to be the fastest-growing chain after opening its 100th location in Brooklyn, NY, with 14 more to open in Queens and Long Island over the next five years. In celebration…

Webcams, especially the ones built-into computers, haven’t always been that great. The priority was convenience, not necessarily quality, when it came to powering video calls on your mobile machine. But times have changed: Not only can you buy high-quality webcams to connect to your computer, but some now ship with…

ChatGPT can do a lot, but we haven’t reached Hollywood-levels of AI just yet. OpenAI doesn’t let you ask ChatGPT questions with your voice, and it won’t respond in kind, at least not without a browser extension.

For some reason, I have a Moon Pie-branded tin that is absolutely stuffed with old wine corks I’ve collected over the years. I don’t know what I’m saving them for; all they do is remind me that I’ve spent a fair amount of money of mid-priced wine, yet I cannot let them go. (It might be tempting to think that I’m…

We didn’t need the cinematic corporate bipoic Air to remind us of the indelible mark Michael Jordan has made not just on basketball, but on the shoe game. The birth of the Air Jordans in 1985 meant big things for the company, but it also blew the starting whistle on an entire culture built around sneakers. Kicks…

The concept of an omelette is enticing and simple: Wrap tasty stuff in an egg blanket. In practice, however, it can be so frustratingly hard to get “right” that even celebrity chef judges will quiz other professionals on if they can make a perfect French-style omelette or not. No one’s day (or career) should ride on…

I’m going to admit upfront that I’m a big Windex girl. It’s cheap, it’s always available, and it’s easy to spray on everything from mirrors (normal!) to tabletops (nor normal!) for a quick rubdown. It turns out, though, that you’re really not supposed to use the specialty glass cleaner for everything, as it can cause…
