The most powerful changes happen when we decide to take control of what we do have power over, instead of craving control over what we do not. Holding on is hard. Holding on contributes to stress, unhappiness, relationship issues, and so much more. Yet, as human beings, we cling desperately to almost everything… We don’t like change, so we hold on tight to the past. We want life to be the way we think it “should” be. We get attached to our ideals even when they hurt us. Over the past 15 years, as Marc and I have gradually worked…

I’ve received all sorts of questions about mattresses over the years, ranging from what might help with back pain to suitable options for children. There’s one small use case that I’ve always had particular interest in, however: the best mattresses for putting in your guest room, vacation rental, or any space where visitors stay in the short term.Finding a mattress that will work for all sleeping positions and body types is a pretty tall order. When you’re traveling, you usually want a soft, supportive place to land for a bit. The Tuft & Needle Original Hybrid is one such mattress…

Mixmike | E+ | Getty ImagesMany student loan borrowers have hit a repayment obstacle: the U.S. Department of Education denied their application to switch into a new payment plan.The department rejected 327,955 borrower requests to be enrolled in an income-driven repayment plan in August alone, according to a Dec. 15 court filing. The denials mean many of these borrowers may remain stuck in their prior repayment plan with a higher monthly payment, or in an interest-accruing forbearance. As of the end of November, another 802,730 IDR plan applications remain pending with the Education Department. Millions of student loan holders rely…

All prices were accurate at the time of publishing.My mom has told me so many times that she’d never, ever want stainless steel appliances in her kitchen. She hates that they have to be wiped down all the time in order to look clean, whereas her older white fridge doesn’t show smudges and fingerprints and basically always looks clean. Well, I’m on my third kitchen full of stainless steel appliances, and I admit it: They do tend to keep a “record” of every single…

I played a lot of games on my Steam Deck this year. It seemed like there was a never-ending list of incredible indie games to try — The Verge wrote about a lot of them! — and many worked brilliantly on Valve’s handheld gaming PC. Some bigger games made a splash on Steam Deck, too, and while they may not look as good as on a beefy PC, I’m usually happy to deal with that simply because I can play them on the couch or out of the house.If you’re unwrapping a Steam Deck for the holidays this year, or…

There were plenty of reasons why the Los Angeles Chargers lost to the Houston Texans on Saturday, but the most shocking one was the fact that Cameron Dicker had the first meltdown of his career.The Chargers kicker cost his team four points with a missed 32-yard field goal and a missed extra point in the 20-16 loss. Dicker missing two short kicks in one game might have been the most statistically improbable kicking meltdown the NFL has ever seen. Going into Week 17, Dicker had made 94.1% of his field goal attempts, which makes him the most accurate kicker in…

India’s startup ecosystem raised nearly $11 billion in 2025, but investors wrote far fewer checks and grew more selective about where they took risk, underscoring how the world’s third most-funded startup market is diverging from the AI-fueled capital concentration seen in the U.S. The selective approach was most evident in deal-making. The number of startup funding rounds fell by nearly 39% from a year earlier, to 1,518 deals, according to Tracxn. Total funding slipped more modestly — down just over 17% to $10.5 billion. That pullback was not uniform. Seed-stage funding fell sharply to $1.1 billion in 2025, down 30%…
