Charging phones and portable devices has become one of the most routine actions of modern life. From the moment we wake up to the time we go to sleep, our devices depend on reliable power. We charge at home, in offices, cafés, airports, hotels, libraries, and public transportation spaces. Despite how frequently charging occurs, the physical environments designed to support it often feel like an afterthought.

There are nights when we lie in your bed, fairy lights glowing above us, the city humming softly outside, and you tell me what has been sitting with you all day. Side by side under your pink quilt, you know I am all yours. It was during one of those nights when you asked me a question I couldn't answer right away.

While raising my kids in Chicago, I saw a recurring pattern. A neighbor would welcome a second child, or a friend's oldest would be ready for middle school. Suddenly, the city wasn't "enough" for them anymore. Seemingly overnight, they longed for larger backyards, quieter streets, and "better schools." Houses were listed, minivans were purchased, and then loaded to the brim. Those families disappeared into suburban cul-de-sacs.

"He would love to take it with him everywhere. He'll drag it around the house," Laney says. "He spends a lot of time trying to plug it in, which we try to not let him do. But even if it's not plugged in, he still likes to have it nearby because I think he just has become a fan of it now."

We're no strangers to controversial design features making a major comeback: From soapstone kitchen countertops to seashell decor, things that were once "out" always seem to make their way back "in" in the design world. (Design déjà vu is kind of the industry's thing.) As part of the sixth annual State of Home Design survey last month, Apartment Therapy asked 140 interior designers which once-controversial trends they thought were poised to make a resurgence in 2026. Some answers were more surprising than others, of course, but one stood out more than all the rest: When it comes to bathrooms, interior designers say the built-in bathtub is back - and in a big way.

From a safety point of view, it is a lot easier to organize and take stock of the quality of your items on a calm, relaxed afternoon, versus the night before a big hike when you are frantically packing. It's also safer to learn that a rain jacket has a hole when indoors versus discovering the problem while you are miles in on an off-the-grid hike.

It's hard to know when to ask permission from other kids' parents. Do you text them about whether their kid can eat sugar? Whether they can see certain TV shows? Wether they can jump on a trampoline? It's hard to know when kids have allergies or limitations, but you also don't want to bug a kid's parents about every little thing. However... when it comes to giving kids medicine and medicinal items... you'd think you'd call or send out a little text before dosing a kid in your care, right?

I broke off my engagement to my beloved fiancé, "Tristan," in November. Everyone else in my family loves him. I'm pretty sure some of my aunts and uncles love him more than they love me. I told my closest people personally and sent out formal cancellations to everyone else who got a save-the-date. But I haven't seen extended family or childhood friends since I did this, and I will be going home for Christmas. I'm worried everyone's going to be really invasive and weird, especially because I'm embarrassed about the final straw that made me end it. I absolutely should have seen this earlier.

The way I've been thinking about kind of the delusion stuff is the way that some celebrities or billionaires have these sycophants around them who tell them that every idea they have is brilliant. And, you know, they're just surrounded by yes-men. What AI chatbots are is like your personal sycophant, your personal yes-man, that will tell you your every idea is brilliant.

Dr Ariel N. Rad is a leading Board certified plastic surgeon known for his precise, evidence-based approach to facelift and aesthetic medicine. He built his career on disciplined training, scientific rigor, and a belief that natural results come from deep understanding rather than trends. After completing his residency at Johns Hopkins, he co-founded SHERBER+RAD in Washington, D.C. with his wife, dermatologist Dr Noëlle Sherber. Together, they created one of the first fully integrated practices combining dermatology, facial aesthetic surgery, and curated skincare under one roof.

Tesla China did not clarify exactly what it meant by "Autopilot" in its Weibo post, though the company's intense focus on FSD over the past years suggests that the term includes miles that were driven by FSD (Beta) and Full Self-Driving (Supervised). Either way, 10 billion cumulative miles of real-world data is something that few, if any, competitors could compete with.

I didn't realize it was weird that my family never locked the front door, even at night, until friends looked at me like I was out of my mind.

There was this asshole kid who was an asshole to everyone but never seemed to get punished. In metalwork class, the teacher had to step out of the room. Asshole took a blow torch and heated up the door handle until it was glowing. The teacher returned and opened the door, burning his hand like the guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

A Skip Hop baby activity center reviewers love for its grow-with-me functionality, safety, and ability to keep babies entertained for more than three minutes while you, like, run to pee by yourself or something luxurious like that.

After YouTube discontinued its private messaging feature in 2019, the platform is now reintroducing this functionality for a select group of users. Users with access to the test are able to share videos directly on the mobile app, including long-form videos, Shorts, and even live streams. They'll be able to tap the Share button to open a full-screen chat within the app, allowing them to start a private one-on-one conversation or a group chat. Friends can reply with a video of their own, or simply type a response or use emojis.

If you live in an older home, chances are you've heard of a back boiler. These were popular heating systems installed behind fireplaces. They provided hot water and heating by burning gas or solid fuel. But today, back boilers are outdated, inefficient, and even unsafe. So, if you still have one, you might be thinking about replacing it. But how much does it cost to replace a back boiler?

Picture the scene: It's Christmas morning and your child is happily chatting with the AI-enabled teddy bear you got them when you hear it telling them about sexual kinks, where to find the knives, and how to light matches. This is not a hypothetical scenario. As we head into the holiday season, consumer watchdogs at the Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) tested four AI toys and found that, while some are worse than others at veering off their limited guardrails, none of them are particularly safe for impressionable young minds.

For years - through its pandemic-fueled highs and its post-quarantine malaise - Peloton has held its earnings calls at a bright and bushy 8:30AM ET. Not yesterday. Instead, the company broke different news first thing in the morning: it issued yet another recall for 833,000 of its original Bike Plus units, before posting its Q1 2026 results after the markets closed at 4 o'clock.

Passengers will not use the public transport network if they feel unsafe

Tomlin shifted Ramsey to safety against the Colts, and with the availability of several players still in question, Ramsey will remain there against the Los Angeles Chargers. "Jalen will continue to work exclusively at safety," Tomlin said. "We value his play, his positional flexibility. It's an asset to us. It gives a lot of people things to work on, but certainly under the circumstances that we're under right now, we deemed that appropriate as we did last week in terms of nailing him down there."

To celebrate 25 years of sending it, Sweet Protection has unveiled a unique line of helmets and eyewear that spans snow, bike, and paddle sports. While safety is key, the aesthetic is almost as important, because if it doesn't look great, you won't wear it, meaning it won't be able to do its job. This new collection is the perfect blend of style and function, with no two helmets being alike.
