Neil Druckmann Has High Hopes for ‘The Last of Us’ Season 3

Thuma Dupes: Japanese Joinery Bed Frames That Stack Up (2025)

Just like the mattress, numerous thoughtful details in this frame made it immediately stand out, so much so that I will be keeping it around for long-term testing to try with a larger variety of beds. DreamCloud made the setup of this frame seamlessly idiot-proof (@me). Each piece is labeled, and when it comes time to actually put it all together, take a ga

Spotify’s music recommendations stink. Here’s how I made them better

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority I am a snob when it comes to music choices. I have spent countless hours in my teenage years arguing with strangers on the internet that Megadeth is overrated, or defending Nickelback from being smeared as the worst rock band ever. Now, while I’ve realized I have been wrong in imposing my music choices on others, I still maintain a high level of scrutiny when deciding which music tracks will remain in my Spotify playlists. Yes, I rely on Spotify as one of my go
