If Stranger Things has taught us anything over the years, it’s that the most powerful moments often arrive when you least expect them.

Heated Rivalry ends its first season by trusting the smallest details.

Holiday gifting has officially entered its elevated era. What used to be lumpy brownies and novelty grinders has grown into a full-blown lifestyle lane, sleek, design-forward, and unapologetically intentional. Today’s cannabis-adjacent products borrow cues from fashion, food, and fine spirits, favoring precision, aesthetics, and experience over excess. It’s less “tie-dye couch” and more “well-curated bar

“Proud transphobe” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is reportedly having trouble securing support from her own party as she runs for governor of South Carolina.

There’s something undeniably queer about houseplants. They’re beautiful, temperamental, dramatic, and needy in just the right ways. In short: they’re just like us. But let’s not pretend your plant choice is an accident, it’s tied directly to your zodiac sign, your coping mechanisms, and that unhinged part of you that thinks buying another plant will
