Nintendo didn’t make preordering the Switch 2 particularly easy—especially with its back and forth decisions in the face of tariffs. But even if you manage to get your hands on a Switch 2 for launch day, be careful, because Nintendo is ready to brick any Switch device you own should you break its rules—and I’m […]

You know that putting money aside is a good idea, but putting it all in the same place can make your budgeting more complicated than it needs to be. It sounds counterintuitive, but when all your savings sit in one account, it’s difficult to track progress toward different goals. You might see a healthy balance, […]

If there’s one thing everyone knows about the impact of the tariffs, it’s that no one knows anything.

The deadline for obtaining a REAL ID has come and gone. If you’re planning on flying or entering a federal building, you’ll need a driver’s license or state identification card that complies with the Department of Homeland Security’s new requirements (or an alternative like a passport or Trusted Traveler card).

It doesn’t mean much to anyone with a job, but summer’s coming in quick, and only grade-grubbers are still paying attention in school. The other kids are wasting their time exactly how you’d expect: watching kitten body horror videos, discovering 20-year-old RPGs, and throwing bowling balls into helicopter blades.
