Modern phones last longer when you manage battery health by keeping them between 62-72°F, avoiding regular full charges, and using built-in features like iPhone's 80% charge limit or Google Pixel's adaptive charging. Beyond batteries, extending phone lifespan requires software updates for security, preventing storage from reaching capacity to avoid performance slowdowns, regular cleaning of charging ports, physical protection with cases and screen protectors, and repairing damage rather than immediately replacing the device. These practices can keep a phone functional well beyond the typical two-year replacement cycle.

After Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon publicly warned that AI could destroy humanity, sparking similar statements from other insiders at major AI labs, tech executives and investors at a Goldman Sachs conference dismissed these concerns as either fearmongering designed to hype upcoming IPOs or unfounded hyperbole. The skepticism reflects a broader Silicon Valley backlash against existential AI warnings, though some lawmakers like Bernie Sanders are pushing for regulatory restrictions, while the Trump administration—which favors unrestricted AI development—has targeted Anthropic with legal challenges despite supporting OpenAI's growth.
Catastrophic disasters like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and mudslides have preserved entire ancient communities in remarkable detail—sometimes better than sites buried gradually over centuries—by sealing them off from looters, weather, and decay. The article surveys ten sites from Skara Brae in Scotland to Pompeii in Italy, arguing that lesser-known locations like Herculaneum, Ozette, and Joya de Cerén often reveal more about daily life than Pompeii's famous ruins, which now face degradation from mass tourism. While Pompeii may be history's most celebrated archaeological site, the piece contends that quieter, less-visited catastrophe sites frequently offer clearer windows into how ordinary people actually lived before disaster struck.
A Callery pear tree discovered nearly dead in the rubble after 9/11 was carefully rehabilitated by arborists and replanted at Ground Zero in 2010, where it now stands as a living symbol of survival and renewal. The tree bears a visible scar line marking the boundary between its burned 2001 bark and the new growth that emerged after its recovery, and visitors regularly leave messages of hope on tags attached to its protective railing. Beginning in 2013, seeds from the Survivor Tree were distributed to communities affected by tragedy around the world, creating a broader legacy of resilience that extended far beyond the memorial plaza.
A neuroscience study using MRI scans and machine-learning algorithms found that the brain processes aesthetic experience through two separate neural systems: one identifies what an image depicts (landscape versus figure), while another evaluates its emotional reward value through the same pleasure circuits activated by food or money. The research suggests that art expertise resharpens how these systems interact, particularly in brain regions associated with meaning-making and self-reflection, implying that arts education and art therapy operate by physically rewiring how perception and emotion connect rather than merely providing exposure to beauty.

An article about Kirk Douglas's favorite Western film from 1962 that he considered his best work in the genre.
The Pleasure Principle At the height of Nirvana’s ascendancy, Urge Overkill were a Kurt Cobain-endorsed, Albini-produced acrylic flash of ’70s soul-stylings and Cheap Trick rock optimism. Then heroin, gangs and guns were added to the equation. Keith Cameron looks back on their short, stylish reign. Urge Overkill (l-r): Eddie “King” Roeser, Nash Kato and Blackie Onassis, Los Angeles, 1995. IN LATE 1991, JUST AS SMELLS like teen spirit was lighting a fire under the world, Nirvana toured the US and
Great article, and such great photos!
A curated collection of iconic photographs that shaped the evolution and cultural impact of fashion throughout history.
Dani Banks, the wife of Texas special teams coordinator Jeff Banks and former exotic dancer known as "The Pole Assassin," is threatening to sue the Instagram account @collegefootball for reposting a photo of her from the field without permission. The image, which originated from a Twitter burner account, was shared among college football meme pages and reignited attention on Banks, who became a notable figure in college football lore after an incident involving her emotional support monkey in 2021. Banks, who has over 70,000 Instagram followers and has largely retired from dancing, is leveraging the threat of legal action to protect her image rights as her likeness continues to circulate on social media.
Chattanooga earned recognition in 2025 as North America's first National Park City, a designation honoring communities that integrate natural resources and outdoor access into daily life. The piece highlights five major outdoor activities available in and around the city: paddling the Tennessee River Blueway, exploring Raccoon Mountain Caverns (part of Tennessee's extensive cave system), visiting the Southeast's largest sculpture park at Sculpture Fields, rafting the Class III-IV rapids of the Ocoee River, and hang-gliding from Lookout Mountain Flight Park.
The Philadelphia Eagles fired offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and replaced him with former quarterback Sean Mannion, who will implement a Kyle Shanahan-style offense. The team traded star receiver A.J. Brown to the Patriots due to a fractured relationship with quarterback Jalen Hurts, lost several defensive starters in free agency, and drafted five offensive players in their first six picks, though only first-round WR Makai Lemon is expected to see significant playing time immediately. After a disappointing 2025 season following their Super Bowl win, the Eagles face high pressure to improve, with head coach and quarterback scrutiny likely if the team struggles.
This Esquire buyer's guide reviews e-readers across different price points and use cases, comparing Amazon Kindles (Paperwhite, Colorsoft, and standard model), Kobo devices (Libra Colour and Clara), and specialty options like the Boox Palma Pro 2. The guide emphasizes that Kindles dominate the market for their reliable ecosystem and battery life, while Kobo offers better note-taking and library borrowing features, and niche devices like Boox provide unique form factors for specific needs. The reviewer prioritizes comfort, long battery life, e-paper displays, and content access as the key criteria for choosing an e-reader.
Claude Code's memory management system emphasizes keeping instructions lean by storing only essential, session-agnostic guidelines in CLAUDE.md files while delegating project-specific details to a docs/ folder referenced as needed. Rather than using memory banks or frequent compacting (which wastes tokens and fidelity), users should structure workflows around architecture documents, implementation plans with checkboxes, and selective /compact usage only when context window pressure demands it while preserving session continuity.
Braden Sinclair is one of only 50 people ever to win an Olive Garden Lifetime Pasta Pass, a no-expiration card earned in 2019 that grants him unlimited pasta, breadsticks, and soup or salad—a distinction he's documented obsessively on his website Lifetimepastapass.com, which tracks his 112 visits, 152 bowls eaten, and nearly $1,900 in meal value since winning, while letting internet strangers vote on what he orders next. Though he's been a devoted Olive Garden fan since childhood (he even has a tattoo of the chain's cheese grater), the pass has proven somewhat isolating, as the pandemic prevented Olive Garden from connecting the 50 winners and few of his friends share his enthusiasm for repeat visits to the restaurant.
