And YouTube will now settle a lawsuit brought by Trump and other right-wingers over their suspensions.

As your typical (and often reluctant) woman shaver, I do not like the typical woman razors and shaving products. I find them often "pink taxed," i.e. more expensive than products marketed toward men, just because they have an aesthetic some women may prefer. To add insult to injury, the drugstore razors for women I've bought -- especially the reusable ones -- tend to be less effective and more flimsy than the "masculine" ones. In my experience, this has been especially true while shaving around

September 26, 2025 A wild find at a comic book store yesterday: The Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons, a doorstop volume, devoted almost entirely to reproductions of early versions of the game, from typewritten drafts to published booklets.

*Updated July 1, 2025 FedEx was founded in 1971 as an express delivery service. An early motto captures its basic promise: “When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.” The Federal Aviation Act of 1977, which was intensely advocated for by FedEx founding president Fred Smith, allowed FedEx to bring larger aircraft into its fleet. Larger aircraft in turn allowed FedEx to concentrate most of its sorting operations in one hub, Memphis, where the company built its superhub in 1979. T
