It’s a good time to be Neil Gaiman. The Starz adaptation of his apocalyptic road-trip novel American Gods may have fizzled out, but he’s since struck lightning twice, scoring second season pickups for both The Sandman (on Netflix), with new episodes expected next year; and Good Omens (on Prime Video), returning July 28
Tiny homes are a popular choice for scaled back living, an ADU, or a vacation property. They’re cheaper to buy than traditional structures and because they’re so small, they can also be more efficient than a larger building for utilities. However, while tiny homes are smaller than regular houses, there are still some…

I love a good air fried party snack, like these sweet and salty devils, but I mostly use my air fryer to turbo roast vegetables. The little tabletop convection oven gets incredible results in a short amount of time without heating up my kitchen; it’s rare that I have to air fry carrots or broccoli for more than 15…
Another season of Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror is in the books, and given that it was four years between the fifth and sixth seasons, it’s unclear when (or if) we’ll see more. While Brooker’s series is, by far, the buzziest sci-fi anthology of the modern era, it’s certainly not alone. The format proved itself at…
Aspartame, a sweetener in Diet Coke and other low-calorie foods and drinks, is reportedly about to be named a “possible carcinogen” by the World Health Organization. That sounds bad, right? But it doesn’t mean that Diet Coke is likely to actually give you cancer. Let me explain.
In the age of digital nomads and remote work, you may be able to take longer trips than you used to. Maybe you’ve always wanted to spend the summer at the beach, but you’re worried about the property you’d leave behind. The next time you plan to leave town for an extended period of time, here’s what you can do to…
Everyone is into pickleball these days, and you’ve probably noticed. What started as a sport for your grandparents has quickly become one of the most popular ones across the country. According to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, the number of people playing pickleball grew by 159% over three years to 8.9…
It’s cool if you are unaware of the Biden administration’s nefarious plot to steal your stove—it isn’t a real thing that’s happening on Earth. It’s the kind of “news” you’re probably used to ignoring, but the idea of Joe Biden’s consumer protection brownshirts confiscating cooktops is a big enough fear to a lot of the…
If hot summer days always have you running extra fans, you should try this EvaChill EV-500 personal air conditioner. During “Deal Days”—our version of Prime Day—you can get one in white or gray for $69.97 (reg. $99) now through July 14.
Summer is here, and once more, higher-than-average temperatures are expected pretty much everywhere, which is fun. That means a lot of people are dreaming of air conditioning in their homes—but there are some drawbacks, especially if you lack a central air conditioning system. Window units can often seem precarious,…
When I was a kid, my science fiction-loving dad decided we were going to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey. I did not understand this long, complex, boring movie. I certainly did not appreciate it like he did. As a result, I thereafter refused to experience some of his favorite other movies, TV shows, and music. Only in…
If you paid attention to my pleas for peas last year, you might be reading this after a morning snack of fresh-off-the-vine peas, with a pile of discarded pea shells nearby. Those extraneous pods make for fantastic compost, as they’re full of nitrogen, but if you’ll indulge me, I’d like to suggest you take them in a…
Money can be awkward to talk about, but that awkwardness comes at a hefty price. Financial boundaries are guardrails that you put in place to protect your money. And it’s not just about protecting your cash—it’s about ensuring you have a comfortable, healthy relationship with money.
Half the fun of buying a little drink from Starbucks lies in the customization options. Their seemingly endless supply of flavored syrups lets you create a bespoke treat, and treating yourself is important. But treating yourself can also get expensive, especially if you’re doing it at Starbucks, so it’s worth…
We’re still weeks away from my first summer tomato, and it feels like I just got all my tender summer starts and seeds in, but I know better: I can’t put away the seed-starting trays because fall and winter planting are right around the corner, and I need to be thinking about them now.
There’s a corner of TikTok for every person and interest out there, including woodworking, but it can be tough to figure out what you can trust. Some purported TikTok woodworking “hacks” will leave you scratching your head, especially when the shortcut is more complicated than the original task at hand or the video is…
As much as we might like to stay at home with our pets—or take them with us everywhere we go—there are times when we have to leave them alone and unattended. This leaves plenty of opportunity for them to get into trouble, intentional or not, unless common household hazards are minimized.
If you love your lawn, fine, but maybe hear me out: Lawns are the worst. Even if you don’t mind the watering, mowing, and chemicals, most lawns—including yours—are terrible.
Your most important relationship at work is the one you have with your boss, and it is this relationship that can make or break your job satisfaction, particularly in organizations with a set hierarchy in which the supervisor bears responsibility for the work of others. While the quality of your work certainly matters…
Landscaping and lawn care can become expensive. Fortunately, there are plenty of free gardening resources if you know where to look, and they can get you free wood chips, as well as compost, seeds, mulch, and plain old dirt.

One of the most common pieces of advice from TikTok and Instagram therapists is to set healthy boundaries with the people in your life. Typically, the recommended boundaries are with partners, family members, coworkers, and friends. But according to Adam Grant, Ph.D., an organizational psychologist at Wharton, it’s…
Housing prices nationwide may be dropping for the first time in years, but not enough to put homeownership back within reach of many Americans. This has put a strain on the rental market, driving up prices, and highlighting the limited supply of this category of housing.
Screenshots are disabled by default in Google Chrome’s incognito mode on Android, which, while good for privacy, can be inconvenient now and then. You can use a workaround via Chrome flags to take incognito screenshots, but this trick creates a new problem—doing so exposes those incognito tabs in the “Recents” screen…
The world is an episode of Black Mirror this week. Netflix recently released a new season of the anthology show, and its in-universe streaming service looks eerily familiar. Speaking of dark, alternative futures, Marvel’s Secret Invasion came out this week too, but all anyone can talk about is the fact that the…
Once a year, everyone I know becomes a farmer. They plan ahead, pack a picnic, grab a hat and head to a farm to pick strawberries. Flats fill up with the sweet fruit you don’t eat in the field, people gain a little appreciation for farm workers after spending the day hunched over, and we all end up making big berry…
My kitchen produces two things each year that are universally loved by my friends: sambal and fresh, fermented salsa. It did not occur to me to combine the two until I was staring down the barrel of a pint of freshly picked strawberries, which clearly only had a day left in them. On a hunch, I grabbed my sambal and…
Parkinson’s law is an observation that suggests the longer you give yourself to do something, the longer you’ll take to actually get it done. But it’s always better to get difficult things done as soon as possible, so let’s look at Parkinson’s Law and how you can overcome it.
I’m no stranger to the tempting world of Italian carbs. I’ve had flavorful pizzas, fluffy zeppoles, and strombolis stuffed to near bursting. Yet, I feel betrayed. Why did it take over 30 years for me to hear about panzerotti? And why isn’t it happening in every pizzeria, restaurant, and home kitchen world-wide? I…
On Wednesday, Apple released a series of security patches for a variety of devices, spanning iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches.

After paving the country, embracing the suburbs, and transforming communities into something akin to highway rest stops, you pretty much need a car to survive in the modern world unless you’re very thoughtful about your life choices. And right now buying a car—used or new—is expensive and frustrating. As a result,…

When it’s hot and humid out, the last thing you want to do is break another sweat. So what should you do when you want to exercise under such conditions?

Apple is already at the forefront of the passkeys roll-out, integrating passkey generation and syncing to its iCloud Keychain platform. You’ve already been able to create login passkeys for a service directly on iPhones, but it didn’t work on iCloud or on your own Apple ID. There’s a fix coming, but for that, you’ll…
Chrome for iPhone isn’t the same as Chrome for desktop. There are plenty of cross-over features, but like all iOS browsers, it’s really Safari under the hood. But in their latest announcement, Google shared how it’s bringing four new features, some powered by AI, to Chrome on mobile.
Reddit is melting down before our eyes. Its CEO is engaging in wilder and wilder tactics to try to subvert the protests that began last week. Some subreddits have seen their moderation teams replaced or entirely removed, meaning that even when the dust settles, those subs will not be what they once were. And many…
Maybe they forget to take their shoes off when they come into your home or they never say “please” or “thank you.” Perhaps you’re not fond of the language they use or how they speak and act around your son or daughter. Once they make your shit list, it can be difficult for that friend to get back into your good…
Before there was The Rings of Power, The Wheel of Time, or The House of the Dragon, there was The Witcher, the first post-Game of Thrones fantasy epic to flirt with widespread success. If Netflix’s adaptation of the Andrzej Sapkowski novels and video game series never quite captured the zeitgeist, it has remained…
