Tech execs could teach a masterclass on weak writing. It’s not enough to call an operating system powerful; instead, they have to say it’s “stunningly powerful.” Stunningly replaces shockingly as the adverb that only techies use. “Magical” has yet to be dethroned by another meaningless adjective

Last of Us Season 2 is some of the best television to air since Breaking Bad. Just phenomenal. We’re only on episode 2 and the show has already exceeded the game in terms of storytelling.

Well, that was definitely the weakest season of White Lotus. The next (and hopefully final) season should be about the PR team for the hotel franchise.

Given recent events, now is the best time to watch Princess Mononoke remastered in 4K on IMAX. Saw it last night and it was absolutely stunning even though I’d seen the movie at least a dozen times.

The Baby Tech That One Parent Found Helped the Most (Gift Article) The Snoo. The Nanit. The Hatch Rest. Many lists of baby gear mandate certain items, but our columnist wondered if it would be better to chuck those lists out.

I’m back from paternity leave! My column this week is about “best baby gear” lists and how we should ignore them because there is no best baby gear www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/t...

1 Dead and Dozens Ill in E. Coli Outbreak Linked to Organic Carrots The outbreak, which has sickened nearly 40 people, has been tied to multiple brands of recalled organic carrots sold by Grimmway Farms, officials said.

Add me to the list of people who got food poisoning recently from these organic carrots www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/w... I’m mostly disappointed because carrots are the least exciting snack to get sick over

Our corgi Max is so devious about getting double breakfasts that I had to resort to sending this photo to my wife each morning
