TL;DR: I didn't think upgrading my laptop would do much, but this MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar changed my life for the better for less than $380! When my MacBook Air from college finally gave up—nope, I'm not telling you how old I am!—I — Read the rest The post The...
TL;DR: My kids were going to be stir-crazy during our road trip, so I added this CarPlay and Android Auto adapter to my car so they could watch movies on the go. Check out what I thought! Over the long weekend, my husband and I decided it would be a good time to squeeze in...
I just recently learned about the Bed-Stuy Aquarium, a beautiful make-shift aquarium created from a leaking fire hydrant at the corner of Hancock and Tompkins Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. Sadly, however, the aquarium is no longer with us, as it was paved over by workers...
When you imagine an old western film, a tumbleweed or two blowing around in the background might come to mind. Many people associate tumbleweeds with an American desert landscape, but these annoying yet charming balls of prickly weeds actually came to the USA from Eurasia. —...
This wooden game for cats is impossible to win, but endlessly entertaining for the kitty (and for the humans observing the cat play it). The game consists of a series of wooden levers, which make a little toy mouse pop up from a hole when pressed down. — Read the rest The...
Watch what happens when a leech touches salt. In this disturbing video, we see osmosis as a result of salt exposure, which can be fatal. Salt creates a hypertonic environment, drawing water out of the leech's body. This causes the leech to dehydrate and can lead to its...
A cute rescue dog named Daisy was overjoyed to see her owners when they returned home from a day out. But as the silly toy poodle looked at them through a mirror, she had trouble getting past the other obnoxious 'dog' blocking her way. — Read the rest The post Excited pup tr...
Donald Trump has already threatened political opponents, journalists, and immigrants, repeating for years that these three groups are the 'enemy,' 'enemy from within,' and 'enemy of the people.' But the insatiable king called for more targets today, adding lawyers, political ...
Vice President Harris rightly agreed with many of his former staffers and appointees that adjudicated rapist Donald Trump was a fascist. Jake Tapper points out the incredible boot-licking done by Speaker of the House 'MAGA Mike' Johnson and Kentucky's Pride Mitch McConnell...

TL;DR: For a limited time, this grade-A refurbished Lenovo 100e Chromebook is just $59.99 (regular price is $149). We've all encountered digital pickles. One minute, you're deep into a work project; the next, your precious laptop is out of commission, and you're scrambling...
Phil Lesh—founding member and bassist of the Grateful Dead—has died at age 84. I met Phil several times and he was always warm, approachable, and emanated joy when he played music. In fact, my son, around 10-years-old at the time, found the Afikomen at a Passover Seder...
A scandal is unfolding at Las Vegas's Westgate Resort. Guests are complaining of getting charged with room smoking fees of $500+ during times they weren't even in their rooms. 'Do not, do not, do not stay at the West Gate Resort,' warns a recent guest who found their...
It's a cheap and easy joke to say that the scariest sonic genre of all is earnestly performed ska music (lookin' at you, Axios). And so to help prove all the haters wrong, ska stalwart (and host of Hornpod and Hornpub) Matt Wixson put together this six-hour long playlist of...
Forget 3.5' floppies—San Francisco's Muni Metro is one of the few transit systems still using 5.25' ones. But not for much longer: the vintage storage media will be replaced as part of a $212m overhaul of railroad computer systems there. In April, SFMTA director Jeffrey...
It actually happened. Yappy Valley Boy Ben Shapiro was stunned into silence when a transgender man delivered an impassioned critique of the far-right commentator's retrograde stance on abortion rights and trans issues during a recent debate. The two men faced each other,...
In England and Wales, property owners have a 'right to light,' but Americans are out of luck. I live in the suburbs now, so it's unlikely that someone will build something that will block the natural light coming into my house. — Read the rest The post "Ancient lights"...
Dee Harrison, 56, was astonished at the incredibly 'lovely aurora' she saw over Ipswich, England. 'At first I thought something was on fire but when I parked up I could see this deep pink sky – it looked brighter through my phone camera so I thought it was an aurora,' Harris...
