Dumbledore is a character that’s honestly complicated to understand. When he’s first introduced, readers would really think he’s this wise old guy who’s being nice, looking out for Harry and guiding him through this new world of magic and wizardry. Considering all that Harry’s faced back at home, this seems ...
Belts make zero sense to me. They claim to “hold things together” (and keep pants from falling down too much, of course), but most of the time, they’re just holding me like I’m a hostage. They dig into my body, they twist around, and to top it all off, they ...
Two people have died from their basements flooding in New York City after an intense rainstorm occurred on Thursday. Emergency crews in Brooklyn found a 39-year-old man, Aaron Akaberi, inside the basement of a three-story townhouse around 4:30 p.m after it was flooded. He had reportedly gone back in to ...
Some mornings, I swear my bathroom mirror is gaslighting me. I wake up feeling like a changed person (read: someone who’s finally branched out into the world to try new things), and my reflection still has the nerve to look exactly the same. How rude. Beauty culture seems to revolve around that ...
On November 2, 2025, Hellen Obiri made history at the New York Marathon. She crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 19 minutes and 51 seconds, setting a new women’s course record. Obiri’s win was incredible, especially considering she also won the race in 2023. She ran with 2022 winner Sharon Lokedi most of the way until she moved ahead ...

Let’s get one thing straight: technology alone isn’t going to save the planet. No app, gadget, or shiny new electric car is going to magically reverse climate change. That doesn’t mean tech can’t play a really important role in helping us live better and smarter though. There’s this common narrative ...
Back then, you actually watched TV with other people. Like, you had a time, you sat down, maybe your family or friends were there, and you watched the new episode. Miss it? You missed it and had to wait for the rerun. It sucked, but it was kind of nice ...
After more than 80 years, the remains of a soldier from Wayne County who was lost during World War II will finally be laid to rest. Officials say John A. Pagliuso, an airman from Lyons in Wayne County, was killed in action around October 5, 1942, during a bombing mission over ...
Katsuki Bakugo, from the manga “My Hero Academia,” is a character that’s a total hothead, from start to finish. He’s very emotional, and he comes across as cold and unfriendly to everyone around him. The good news is Katsuki has a redemption arc in this series, and it’s not your typical, ...
