CNET/Getty Images As a credit card writer, I carefully curate my wallet. I have cash-back cards that earn rewards on everyday spending, travel cards with useful perks and other cards that I've picked up for one reason or another.

Threads has taken another step towards decoupling from Instagram by introducing its own word blocking filters. Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced on Thursday that the Hidden Words setting on Threads includes “newly added custom filters to block words, phrases, and emojis in batches, with optional time limits.” A previous version of Hidden Words was tied to Instagram, meaning you could only mute the same words and phrases across both platforms.

In May 2019, Gillette released an ad on Facebook just in time for Pride month. It featured Samson Bonkeabantu Brown—a Black Toronto artist and trans man—learning how to shave for the first time. “I went into my transition just wanting to be happy. I’m glad that I’m at the point where I’m able to shave,” Brown says in the video; later he’s seen shaving as his dad smiles and encourages him from behind his shoulder. “Don’t be scared.

AT&T Fiber is CNET’s top pick for the best internet provider in Fresno, California. That's because it offers great upload and download speeds at competitive monthly rates.

Tiny orange beads found by Apollo astronauts reveal Moon's explosive past

The Apollo astronauts didn't know what they'd find when they explored the surface of the moon, but they certainly didn't expect to see drifts of tiny, bright orange glass beads glistening among the otherwise monochrome piles of rocks and dust. The beads, each less than 1 mm across, formed some 3.3 to 3.6 billion years ago during volcanic eruptions on the surface of the then-young satellite.

In the nineteenth century, the invention of anesthesia was considered a gift from God. But post-operative pain relief has continued to rely on opioids, derivatives of opium, the addictive substance employed since ancient times. Although no other drug has managed to match the rapid, potent, and broadly effective relief delivered by opioids, their side effects have led to decades of addiction and overdose, leaving researchers keen to find a better solution.
