But it’s not just the grounding tree on top, the calming Buddha logo, or the bright illustrations that fill me with peace. It’s this community. The honest stories. The aha moments. The shared humanity that brings with it a sense that it’s okay—and maybe even beautiful—to be imperfect. If you too find comfort in this little oasis and appreciate the daily insights and inspiration, I have a feeling you’ll enjoy this year’s day-to-day calendar—my sixth since the first launched in 2022. Each day’s quote offers guidance, support, or encouragement from me, a site contributor, or an author whose work I’ve…

There are few shifts in the culinary landscape as fascinating as the one happening right now: the great alcohol fade-out. The happy hour cocktail or the post-work beer were once the keys to socializing with friends or a quieter routine of unwinding at home. But increasingly, more and more people—your friends, your neighbors, maybe even you—are turning away from booze. The reasons are nuanced and complicated, and here at Bon Appétit we’re excited about the wave of alternative options that still prioritize pleasure, joy, and yes, responsible consumption in our drinking routines.Welcome to the booming world of THC, hemp, and…

Pamela Anderson continued her make-up-free reign this year, this time with the addition of a decisive chop. An excellent take on the bixie—that sweet spot between a bob and pixie—the cut features plenty of shape and layers.Anderson has been wearing it curly, straight and everything in between, proving the versatility of the cut, which also, incidentally, features a fringe that can be swept to the side or worn forward. Kudos, also, for the directional micro-fringe at the Met Gala. All hail, Pammy—who needs makeup when you’ve got a statement cut like this?Olivia Dean’s cloud curlsTaylor HillThere’s scarcely a TikTok video…

2025 was the year that trying fell out of favor. Why put in a genuine, earnest effort when you can have AI do just enough for you to offer a phone-it-in level of output? Enter: vibes, the solution that requires the lowest amount of personal investment, understanding, or care. The vibe trend was underway long before the calendar turned over to 2025. In the post-pandemic era, the world has grown increasingly disconnected from anything that grounds us in a collective sense of reality. But things really started getting turned up a notch as AI tools and AI agents have become…

ESPN’s Adam Schefter appeared on the Pat McAfee show to provide a couple of injury expectations for George Kittle and Trent Williams:Kittle is going to push to come back next week. He never tested it last week, at all. They weren’t going to play him on Sunday night. He was out. He’ll have a chance to be back next week, Saturday night against Seattle.Trent Williams went out of the game and didn’t come back. Older, veteran player. Tough on a hamstring. I think, if you’re the 49ers, you probably want to see if you can get that bye. Give him…

Privacy isn’t dead. Just ask Kristi Noem.The Department of Homeland Security secretary has spent 2025 trying to convince the American public that identifying roving bands of masked federal agents is “doxing”—and that revealing these public servants’ identities is “violence.” Noem is wrong on both fronts, legal experts say, but her claims of doxing highlight a central conflict in the current era: Surveillance now goes both ways.Over the nearly 12 months since President Donald Trump took office for a second time, life in the United States has been torn asunder by relentless arrests and raids by officers from Immigration and Customs…

Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna has embraced a wealth tax in his home state of California, and his longtime allies in Silicon Valley are now threatening to abandon him. California labor groups are trying to add a proposal for a statewide tax on billionaires to the November ballot. The proposal is causing a rift among Democrats and enraging some in the tech community, who warn they will leave the state if the measure is adopted. Khanna last week reacted to the potential exodus in a social media post, saying he echoes what President Franklin Delano Roosevelt said with “sarcasm of economic royalists…

After a rudderless year and an exodus of around 4,000 employees due to Trump administration cuts, NASA got what may be its first piece of good news recently. On December 17, the Senate confirmed billionaire Jared Isaacman as the agency’s new administrator. He now holds the power to rehabilitate a battered engine of scientific research, or steer it towards even more disruption.Considering the caliber of President Trump’s other appointees, Isaacman is probably the best candidate for the job. Outside of being a successful entrepreneur, he has flown fighter jets and been to space twice as part of the Inspiration4 and…
