A good morning, and thus a good day, aren’t experiences that magically happen — they are created consciously. Most of us are distracted from the get-go every morning. Trivial activities like checking social media, watching TV, and worrying about things we can’t control often set the tone of the day. And that means we waste our most well-rested time on things that don’t matter, while gradually losing touch with the significant, controllable parts of our lives that actually do matter. We simply forget that the morning hours are enormously important — they form the foundation from which the day is…

Photo by Jens IngvarssonClear your calendars—and a little closet space: On Saturday, March 28, the annual Vogue Vintage Market—a one-day-only shopping event celebrating the allure of fashion and homeware with a past—returns, with our second annual event hosted by none other than Doja Cat.If anyone understands the transformative power of vintage, it’s Doja, who is as adept at pulling from couture archives as she is at embracing the avant-garde. (We’re still swooning over her look at last year’s Oscars, when she shimmered in a leopard-print gown inspired by a 1953 Pierre Balmain design, reimagined by Olivier Rousteing.) In other words:…

Cami Tellez is back.  Tellez is the founder of the viral undergarments brand Parade, which at one point was seen as the Gen Z rival to Victoria’s Secret. Launched in 2019, when Tellez was just 21, the company went on to raise millions in funding and attract thousands of customers, but was sold in 2023 to the lingerie manufacturer Ariela & Associates. Late last year, Parade announced it was officially closing its doors.  But it turns out Parade was just the beginning of Tellez’s journey as a founder. On Monday, she and former TikTok executive Jon Kroopf announced the launch…

Nintendo has a history of fleshing out the larger Pokémon world through spinoffs. What games from the Pokémon Snap and Detective Pikachu series lacked in terms of action, they made up for in the way they made pokémon feel like creatures with rich lives outside of their relationships with trainers. And as the mainline series has evolved over the years, games like Legends: Z-A have begun putting more emphasis on the idea that pokémon might be better off if humans kept their distance.Pokémon spinoffs have also tended to be relatively boxed-in, both in terms of how much space there is…

Netflix tried holding out, but eventually gave up on acquiring Warner Bros. Now, that “honor” goes to Paramount, and the streamer’s left licking its wounds and talking about why it backed out after fighting so hard for WB in the first place. As CEO Ted Sarandos recently told Bloomberg, his company had a “very tight range” of money that could be spent, and one revealed early into the acquisition process. Paramount, on the other hand, kept increasing its offers and made moves he admittered were “unusual and irrational.” Once last week’s offer came in, Sarandos knew he was beat and…
