The president is better! Or maybe not. Who knows? Spoiler: Trump’s first on-camera interview since his abrupt return to the White House, with Tucker Carlson, did nothing to answer any of those questions, though we did get to see Trump lie and present half-truths himself. It was one week ago that President Superspreader got into a helicopter on the south lawn in front of the White House and took off for Walter Reed Medical Center. Since then, we’ve heard doctors lying or presenting half-truths about Trump’s health. Was he on oxygen? No! Yes! Maybe! By Sunday he was either “not out […]

No one should have to deal with a shitty shower head, plain and simple. No matter if you live in a rented apartment, you panic-bought a new home during the pandemic, or you’ve been putting off that renovation for years, shower heads can truly make or break a bathroom. I was used to settling for whatever was attached to the wall until I found out just how easy it is to change out a shower head. Now, I have my perfect luxurious shower experience in my own home and it’s about time for you to have it too. I’ve always adored […]

Data company DeFi Pulse and investment-minded Set Protocol have created a permissionless index of the very best DeFi tokens, called the DeFiPulse Index. DeFi Pulse has become the key source of information for assessing which projects are leading and which ones are rising, judged by the total amount of crypto staked on each one, which the company calls Total Value Locked (TVL). “We want a way that people can get exposure to DeFi without having to go and buy every token individually, because that costs a lot of gas,” Scott Lewis of DeFi Pulse told CoinDesk in a phone call.

As someone who loves shopping for furniture, there’s one category that has always proven to be the most difficult: rugs. While rugs are made to bring an entire room and space together, they tend to be the biggest strain on relationships when I’m shopping for one. That’s because shopping for rugs is just so damn hard. Not only do you have to factor in size and utilize all of your visualization skills, you also have to sift through hundreds, thousands of styles, determining which is perfect for your existing decor. This leads me to send friends and family hundreds of different […]
Suicide rates have spiked in Gaza since the outbreak of the pandemic which worsened an already unstable economic situation in the region.

Moments before he shot himself in the head on the staircase of his home, he posted a message on Facebook hinting […]
“REQUEST YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT TODAY,” reads a mailer sent to North Carolina Republicans earlier this week by the North Carolina Trump Victory campaign, the Trump campaign’s joint field operation with the Republican National Committee in the state. The mailer, part of a push to contact more than three million voters in the state, calls voting by mail “easy and secure,” and urges recipients to use the “Official Republican Party Absentee Ballot Application to safely and securely request your ballot.” “All North Carolina voters are eligible to vote absentee—no matter the reason,” states the mailer, which contains step-by-step instructions for applying for […]

U.K.-based cryptocurrency platform Ziglu has launched, following a £5.25 million (US$6.6 million) seed round. As a starting point, the platform aims to painlessly put crypto in the hands of consumers. Announced Monday, Ziglu allows users to exchange GBP for bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), litecoin (LTC) and bitcoin cash (BCH), with more fiat currencies to be added and a debit card coming in July or August.

Things have […]
Activists who established a commune around an abandoned police precinct in Seattle are finding out the hard way it’s not easy to run a revolution, dealing with food supply issues, internal squabbling and even a wannabe strongman. After Seattle PD vacated the East Precinct in the Capitol Hill neighborhood on Sunday, activists moved in and set up an “autonomous zone” spanning several city blocks, putting up barricades and “persuading” local residents and businesses to de facto separate from the city. Their creation has been dubbed the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” or CHAZ. “Right now at CHAZ there is food, security, bathrooms, […]

The good news is, there are plenty of rugs out there that are easy to take care of. To help you pick out the perfect rug, we’ve rounded up some that are pretty easy to maintain. […]
When I walked into Budapest’s Metropolitan Ervin Szabo Library, I thought I might have come to the wrong place. I was looking for a palace, and it was supposed to be right here, but besides a grand yellow entrance hall, it looked like a normal city library branch. Metal stacks, fluorescent lights, beige cubicles, laminate wood flooring, and not a palace in sight. The receptionist at the front desk shook his head in the direction of the elevators. “Fourth floor, fourth floor.” Upon arriving on the fourth floor, I asked the librarian where I should go to see the palace library, […]
