Two members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency may have accessed and shared Social Security numbers in an effort to help an advocacy group “overturn election results in certain States” last year, according to court documents.  The revelation, which was first reported by Politico, comes as part of a series of corrections to previous testimony by top Social Security Administration officials related to legal battles over DOGE’s access to Social Security data.  Neither the two DOGE members, nor the advocacy group, are named in the court documents. In March 2025, a political advocacy group contacted two members of the…

All-Clad Deals used to be difficult to find, but thankfully, the Factory Seconds Sale has come back around for a little while. These sales tend to only last for a few days—this one expires at midnight tomorrow, January 21—though they sometimes are extended. In any case, these sales offer a reliable way to score a solid deal on All-Clad kitchenware, which is normally very expensive. We love and swear by All-Clad, as do many professional chefs.Factory Seconds are products with minor imperfections that still perform as intended. Sometimes an item is “second quality,” meaning it might have some blemishes or…

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs are starting to be reflected in the price of some items, as sellers weigh how to absorb the shock of the added costs.Amazon and many of its third-party merchants pre-purchased inventory to try to get ahead of the tariffs and keep prices low for customers, but most of that supply ran out last fall, Jassy said in a Tuesday interview with CNBC’s Becky Quick at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “So you start to see some of the tariffs creep into some of the prices, some of the…

All prices were accurate at the time of publishing.Over the past few years, Costco has solidified itself as a dessert destination — particularly for its ever-changing layered bar cakes. Yes, the bulk warehouse is known (and beloved) for its gigantic and delicious pies, but its bar cakes are also serious business. So when I caught wind on social media that Costco launched a new Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar Cake, I called my local warehouse every single day for an entire week until I…

Few things have emerged unscathed from this era of relentless #disruption, but one thing on which we can all agree is how to tie our shoelaces. Right? WRONG. It turns out that the plain old over-under-and-around knot that most of us have been tying for decades is scoffed at by knot enthusiasts. According to Boing Boing, the knot that’s all the rage amongst knot nerds is the Berlutti knot, which is similar to the basic shoelace knot but has the advantage of being far less likely to come undone on its own. But the Berlutti knot isn’t the only game…

ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has now become the No. 3 most-blocked account on Bluesky, after receiving its official verification on Friday, according to third-party trackers. Bluesky users, unsurprisingly, are angry about the government account being hosted on the platform. Many are recommending that others block the account directly or subscribe to a block list that includes all of the U.S. government’s official accounts. The blocklist was introduced after the White House and other government agencies under the Trump administration signed up for Bluesky last October to post messages blaming Democrats for the government shutdown. The accounts that joined…

Despite the fact that I do it every day, I don’t really like grinding coffee. It’s loud, it’s messy, and even though it’s absolutely just as important as whatever brewing ritual I choose to engage in on any particular morning, I find the whole rigmarole a little annoying. Unfortunately for me, a well-measured, freshly ground dose of beans is the difference between something delicious and something that tastes like airplane coffee. So I take my grinding seriously. And I’ve found no better partner for my daily grind than Mazzer’s Philos.Make no mistake: This is not a normal home coffee grinder.…

Franco Moschino was a fashion genius with a wicked sense of humor, and basically a soothsayer for trends the rest of the world only caught up to decades later. In 1988, he dropped I Complici (The Accomplices), a collection that was less about clothes and more about his merry gang of everyday partners-in-crime, from coworkers to friends. The point was to honor the beautifully imperfect, gloriously quirky humans around him, because perfection (except for perfectly cut clothes, obviously) was boring to him. Fast-forward to today, and Adrian Appiolaza is trying to keep that same cheeky, mischievous spirit alive, as we…
