Still, if you still feel some trepidation, you can always use the finger guards that come with them. Some people, professional chefs and home cooks alike, think that these guards feel clumsy, so instead, we recommend buying a pair of cut-resistant gloves to use with your mandoline. These allow you to grip your produce and wield it as you’d like, all the while protecting your hands from the blade.NoCry Cut Resistant GlovesHow we tested mandolinesMost importantly, we took every mandoline mentioned in this story for a thorough test drive. We sliced (or tried to slice) through produce with a variety…

The ultimate fashion flex used to be wearing a fresh-off-the-runway look. That’s not to say that those moments don’t still thrill us (please see: Ayo Edebiri in Chanel, Greta Lee in Dior, Emily Ratajkowski in Jean Paul Gaultier, etc.), but in recent years, celebrities have found new ways to surprise and delight.The vintage and archival boom held strong in 2025—no doubt the work of some truly intrepid stylists, who cast a wide net, pulling from the likes of Tab Vintage, Timeless Vixen, Opulent Addict, Shrimpton Couture, and other celebrity-approved vintage dealers. The 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars party proved the vintage…

Hello from the dead week of the year, when all sane people have logged off to spend time with their families. This is when I typically write at least one deeply weird post while I’m working over the holiday. One time I got left alone on New Year’s Day and posted about cats all day and people got very mad! No one let me run the site alone anymore after that.I’m supposed to give you some inkling of what I am willing to talk about but even I don’t know what my beat is anymore. I am somehow our business…

Today, start by giving yourself grace and remembering not to judge yourself for how long your journey is taking. We all need our own time to travel our own distance. Every step is necessary, and everyone journeys in their own way… Some people start their careers right out of college in their early twenties, only to find themselves burnt out and starting over when they reach their early thirties. Others start working minimum wage jobs right out of high school and work their way up the corporate ladder, retiring happily in their mid-sixties. Some people fall in love and get…

Compare Our PicksOthers TestedPhotograph: Molly HigginsTineco Go Pet Cordless Vacuum for $176: As when I tested the Tineco Go Mini ($130) for my handheld vacuums guide, I was a bit underwhelmed by this vacuum specifically for pets. It has a slot for easy brush removal if hair gets stuck around the bars, which is a helpful thing to have when you’re dealing with pet (and human) hair. The lever and the angle of the lid for emptying are counterintuitive, and the first few times I emptied it, the debris went everywhere. It’s hard to distinguish between eco and power modes,…

The Wall Street Journal’s Sean McLain reported Sunday on the recent Humanoids Summit in Mountain View, California held earlier this month. McLain seems to have come away with the impression that makers of robots are worried they’ve oversold a technology that, well, sucks. So far anyway.Sure, Elon Musk is promising a robot army, and there’s now some kind of robot butler being preordered by rich people who are expected to pay $20,000 essentially just to help train it. What the optimists perhaps haven’t considered is something the Chinese government has already spoken on: there’s a danger that if this hype produces…

It was a normal day when Jay Gibson got an unexpected notification on his iPhone. “Apple detected a targeted mercenary spyware attack against your iPhone,” the message read. Ironically, Gibson used to work at companies that developed exactly the kind of spyware that could trigger such a notification. Still, he was shocked that he received a notification on his own phone. He called his father, turned off and put his phone away, and went to buy a new one. “I was panicking,” he told TechCrunch. “It was a mess. It was a huge mess.”   Gibson is just one of an…
