You may not suspect this from my current status as Meatboy Extraordinaire, but I was one of those picky-eater kids until I was about 20 years old. I wouldn’t even eat spaghetti, which seems like being a real pill coming from an 8-year-old. But there was one food among all others that would turn me into a ravenous…

Woe to you, your friends, or loved ones who have been saving up their pennies for a big ol’ iPhone upgrade and are itching to make that purchase sometime in the next week and a half.

Strength training for women is spoken about in code words. We’re supposed to fear getting “bulky” and instead want to build “long, lean muscles.” Guys are told in no uncertain terms that lifting will make them big, muscular, jacked; women, somehow, will only get “toned.” This is patriarchal bullshit that obscures how…

The difference between an argument and a fight is that in a fight, you say things you’ll regret. Things that will hurt the other person, that will stick in both of your minds until they come up again in later fights. Reddit user Valuable_Armadillo has a trick to avoid this: Whenever you’re in the heat of an argument,…

If you live anywhere near Florida, don’t forget to prepare a go-bag and have an evacuation plan prepared as Tropical Storm Dorian makes its approach (and likely strengthens into a Category 3 or 4 hurricane).

Having a little bit of cash on you at all times can help you avoid minor inconveniences. But if you think about using that cash you see peeking out of your wallet every time you reach for debit or credit, you may want to think about stashing some cash in another spot: your car.

On Wednesday night, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand officially dropped out of the Presidential race, joining Jay Inslee and John Hickenlooper in calling it quits ahead of the debates. After Wednesday’s deadline, just 10 candidates have qualified for the debates in Houston, meaning we’ll see a much smaller pool of…

You should never feel limited to the small screen on the tiny phone in your pocket—or gargantuan phone, depending on your preference for “plus” devices. It’s pretty easy to push whatever you’re looking at on your phone at to a larger screen, like your living-room television. At least, it should be.

At some point in the history of salads, everyone agreed that the correct dressing ratio is one part vinegar to three parts oil. They’re all wrong. If you’re perpetually disappointed by vinaigrette recipes, do what I do: use half as much oil as the recipe calls for and go from there. That’s it, that’s the hack.

When my editor tweeted a pitch for casseroles, I lapsed into snark mode. “I was raised on soul food,” I muttered. “Casseroles are not soul food.” I was wrong. My favorite dessert—banana pudding—is a quintessential soul food dessert. It is also a casserole both in method and receptacle.

On Wednesday, the Queen agreed to the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s request to suspend the current Parliament session, just ahead of the Brexit deadline.

We know what we’re supposed to do at preschool drop-off. Leave them at the door (don’t enter the classroom!), give a swift and cheery goodbye (“Have a great time! I’ll be back to pick you up in a few hours!”), and leave. Even if they’re crying, every preschool teacher will tell you, you will only make it worse if you…

This month, the Trump Administration opposed protections for LGBTQ workers in the U.S., arguing that existing laws should not cover discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation.
