The Atlantic hurricane season is officially underway, and while we’re busy battening down the hatches , our eyes also turn to the list of hurricane names that will be used this season, which started on June 1 and runs through Nov. 30. Given the devastation hurricanes bring, many of us look for our name with a sense of unease—who wants to be associated with a weather event that causes death and destruction to the tune of $150 billion a year? Still, it’s our name in print! Which is … kind of exciting, right? OK, I take it back. Apparently, Allison was such a devastating storm that we will never see another one named after me ever again—a distinction I’m not sure how to process. Ahead, I’ll take you through the list of the planned hurricane names for 2026 , explain why we use them, who chooses them and when (or if) you might see your name on the list—whether you like it or not. Read on to learn the hurricane names you may be hearing a lot a...

Still not over the fact that Euphoria is over? I’m definitely not. It was one of those shows that you’d sit down to watch one episode of … then find yourself still watching three hours later, before finally abandoning all hope of doing anything else . There was just something about that very specific, glossy-but-chaotic Southern California world filled with teens trying to survive their bad decisions that reeled us in. And without giving away any spoilers , let’s just say that finale didn’t exactly make it easier to move on. If you’re here, I’m guessing you’re also in that post- Euphoria void with me—rewatching edits and craving another teen show that hits the same nerve. So I pulled together a list of shows that give you a similar rush: messy high school dynamics, emotionally charged friendships, complicated relationships and characters that feel too real for comfort—or so incredibly unrelatable, they’ll keep you h...

The single best thing about the internet is how easy it is to find videos of cute animals getting into ridiculous shenanigans. But with the rise of images and videos created by artificial intelligence tools , we’re left asking whether the animals we’re watching are even real. In the last three years, AI photos and videos have gone from charmingly cruddy to terrifyingly realistic. It’s getting more and more common to find a video on social media and share it, only to find out later that a computer created the entire thing. Just look at last year’s “bunnies on a trampoline” craze, where millions of viewers got tricked by fake security camera footage. And the distrust has gotten so bad that now even videos confirmed to be real, like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech about Iran from March, are getting accused of being made with AI. This is a big problem for those of us who care about what’s real and what’s not online (w...

My first introduction to World Cup mania came courtesy of a soda can. In 1989, I was a kid visiting Italy for the first time, and Coca-Cola released special-edition cans in honor of the country hosting the following year’s FIFA World Cup. One featured a jaunty stick figure in red, white and green—the colors of the Italian flag—with a soccer ball for a head. I brought one of those cans back home and kept it on my dresser for years because it reminded me of how much I had loved Italy. As for soccer? Not so much. For decades, that souvenir can was pretty much the extent of World Cup fever in my life. Now, the sport—along with all its heated global rivalries and wild superfandom—is descending on North America. The 2026 FIFA World Cup, the largest in history, will run for 39 days, from June 11 to July 19, and feature matches in 16 host cities. The United States will hold games in 11 cities across the country (78 of the 104 World Cup matches), while Mexico will h...
