2025 can't end fast enough.
RIP Duo, the Duolingo owl. Why would the company kill its own mascot?
Duo was fatally hit by a Tesla Cybertruck, the language-learning company announced this week. The snarky owl has been the face of Duolingo for over a decade. Why his sudden demise, and what's next?

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

At the Super Bowl halftime show, Kendrick Lamar performed "Humble," "TV Off" and "Not Like Us," the Drake diss track that just won five Grammys, among other songs. Here's what our critics had to say. nyti.ms/4aX7oFp

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:
Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

Hallmark needs to start making Hallowe’en romances. She’s a gal from the big city seeking a new life in a small town. He’s a mysterious horseman cursed to throw his flaming head at passersby for eternity. And when these two meet one night, sparks, and heads, will fly.
