This Is Hands-Down the Best Way to Store Kitchen Knives (no, It's Not a Block)

No kitchen tool demands proper storage more than knives. Options include canvas knife wraps, wooden blocks and in-drawer organizers, but the mighty magnetic knife strip ranks as my absolute favorite. It's the first purchase I make for any new kitchen, and I push everyone I know to install one immediately. I'm a culinary-school trained nonchef, but even chef chefs recommend this storage tool: "I first tried a magnetic strip in my home kitchen a few years ago and I'm hooked," says Melissa Araujo,

Turning KPop Demon Hunters into a franchise is going to take some smart strategizing

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. When you watch KPop Demon Hunters, it is easy to see why it has become the most popular movie that Netflix has ever released. The animated musical’s story about a trio of pop stars tasked with protecting humanity from monsters is familiar, but refreshingly different and infinitely more stylish than other narratives like it. The soundt

Don’t Worry, ‘Wednesday’ Fans, the Coma Is Almost Over

The Wednesday hype might seemingly be waning, but it’s worth noting that perhaps the Tim Burton series could just be experiencing a lull thanks to its strange release schedule. With season two part one’s debut going from the top of the streamer’s charts to dropping 50%, according to What’s on Netflix, this might just be a sign that fans are eagerly awaiting to binge the season in full. One of our criticisms of the staggered summer and fall releases was that despite this season being the best ye

Scientists Say Black Holes Could Form Inside Planets, Leading to Absolute Catastrophe

New fear unlocked: spontaneous black hole implosion. Fresh research predicts that planets may be able to accumulate enough dark matter to suddenly form a black hole at their core. As the intruder grows, catastrophe unfolds: it would then devour the world from the inside out, becoming a black hole with the same mass as its unfortunate meal. The findings, published as a study in the journal Physical Review D, are terrifying to contemplate. The intent, however, wasn't to haunt our dreams but to d

I Tried Netflix's Zodiac Hub and Found a Fun New Show That Matched My Astrological Sign

Earlier this week, I received an email from the communications team at Netflix announcing the debut of a new astrology hub on the streaming platform. According to the release, these curated playlists include show and movie recommendations that "reflect the character traits and themes most associated with that sign." They don't include this week's horoscope. At least for now. Lots of people feel strongly about their zodiac sign and how it affects their lives. While I don't normally give much tho

Blogging service TypePad is shutting down and taking all blog content with it

In the olden days, publishing a site on the Internet required that you figure out hosting and have at least some experience with HTML, CSS, and the other languages that make the Internet work. But the emergence of blogging and "Web 2.0" sites in the late '90s and early 2000s gave rise to a constellation of services that would offer to host all of your thoughts without requiring you to build the website part of your website. Many of those services are still around in some form—someone who really

I Tested Honor's Rival to Samsung's Z Fold 7 and It's a Skinny Powerhouse

At only 4.1mm thick at its thinnest unfolded point, the Honor Magic V5 is incredibly skinny. In fact, the company has said it's the world's thinnest foldable measuring in just 0.1mm skinnier than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. That claim is debated -- it depends whether you include the built-in screen protector or not -- but we're almost literally splitting hairs at this point. World's thinnest or not, it's mind-blowingly svelte. Well, it blew my mind, anyway. The other foldables I've been using re
