It's Time I Admit I'm a Disney Adult and These New Disney Plus Videos Helped Me Realize That

"It's just that you don't look like a Disney adult," a friend of mine recently said after I told her how much I love Disney World. "Thank you," I replied, because the term "Disney adult" is usually said in a pejorative way, and even I cast judgment on it. But we Disney people are not all alike. I don't own a single piece of clothing adorned with Mickey or Minnie. However, I can tell you where you can buy a Dole Whip in every park and I could ride a monorail all day long.

The Best Hearing Aids of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-12-16 06:00:00

How much money should you expect to spend on a hearing aid? The answer depends primarily on whether you’re looking into over-the-counter or prescription hearing aids. Unsurprisingly, the latter is a wallet guzzler, with average costs between $2,000 to $8,000. But OTCs can ring up quite a tab in their own right, and our most highly rated devices will still run you about $800 to $2,000 a pair. So far, we haven’t found an OTC device under this $800 price that is truly effective at treating hearing

Trump’s endless new tariffs are threatening businesses — and you

theverge.com Lauren Feiner 2025-12-16 06:45:46

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a new wave of tariffs are taking effect today. As Trump has ratcheted up pressure on foreign imports over the last few months, some Americans might not have noticed a marked difference in what they’re spending, especially as huge tax hikes have been announced and then delayed or cut back. Trump’s perpetually changing tariff deadlines and rates led a Financial Times columnist to coin the phrase “TACO trade,” short for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” But expe

Ceretone Core One Pro Hearing Aids Review: A Blunt Instrument

Ceretone, born on Indiegogo, hit the scene last year with impressively tiny hardware that still remains one of the smallest and lightest hearing aids I’ve ever reviewed. At just 0.96 grams each, the Ceretone Core One were so light they threatened to blow away in the wind. With a price of $349 per pair, they had a similarly minimal effect on your bank account. The trouble with the original Ceretone Core One is that they just weren’t very good as hearing aids. They were not tunable, suffered from

The Emperor's New Trade Deal – Paul Krugman

On Tuesday Donald Trump went on CNBC to explain why the European Union is facing a tariff of “only” 15 percent. But what he said was simply delusional — and the delusion should be even more concerning than the tariffs. The Europeans, Trump asserted, had agreed to cough up $600 billion, which he described as a “gift,” not a loan. And he emphasized that this is “$600 billion to invest in anything I want. Anything. I can do anything I want with it.” So Trump apparently believes that the European
