How to Watch Thursday's 'Parks & Recreation' Reunion

If anyone was going to be the best at social distancing while also simultaneously keeping all their friends happy and connected, it would be Leslie Knope.

How to Check Your Wifi Signal Strength

Windows: You’ve seen the dreaded bars before—that fun little graphic that indicates the strength of your wireless connection. While full bars mean you’re probably getting good wifi speed, you’ve also probably encountered situations where the bars aren’t quite so full—and your wireless connection is terrible.

Play All the Games in Google's Doodle Games Archive

Google is resurrecting older Google Doodle games to entertain us while we’re all stuck indoors. For the next two weeks, the search giant plans to highlight older popular Doodles as its featured Doodle of the day. But if you don’t mind doing a little digging, you can find plenty of...

I Baked Sourdough Bread From a Viral Tweet and It Didn't Kill Me

Baking sourdough bread has become a cliché of non-essential privilege in the social isolation era. It’s a time-consuming stay-at-home endeavor that somehow every blogger on my news feed has decided to post about, and I’ve mocked it. But after baking a loaf based solely on advice from a viral tweet...

If You Have Google's New Pixel Buds 2, You'll Want This App

The second-generation Pixel Buds are finally here. While most will still have to wait for their order to show up from Google’s online store—since, y’know, most physical stores are currently shut down—you can prepare for them by downloading the just-launched Pixel Buds app right now.

Score a Free Copy of 'Total War: Shogun 2' Before May 1

Windows & Mac: The best things in life are free, right? Fun as it is to get some extra Wendy’s nuggets, I much prefer free things that can give me 100+ hours of entertainment. And this is why I’m thrilled to see that everyone can score a free copy of...

Tweak Your Pancake Mix for a Better Brunch at Home

I am not a person who goes out for brunch very often but, as soon as something is taken away from me, I desire it. Crappy bottomless mimosas, overpriced egg dishes, and waiting in line (with other people!) all sound pretty appealing at the moment, as do piles of bougie...

Coronavirus Roundtable

We Don't Have the Words for What We're Living Through

“Quarantine” was never quite right. “Reopening” isn’t an accurate term either. What we’re going through as a society is unprecedented, and we do not have the words to describe it. I think that’s because we can’t name that which we can barely wrap our minds around.

Hope Hicks Is Reportedly Very Bad at Her Job

I have never understood how Hope Hicks landed at the White House, though I suspect it has something to do with her being a perfect amalgam of both Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump. And while she left Donald Trump’s side for a time, Hicks is now back at the White...

SnowRunner Is A Nuanced Off-Road Driving Game To Get Lost In For Days

Remember how much fun it was to sit in a sandbox and play with Tonka trucks? If you’re hell-yeah’ing, and you’ve graduated to video games, SnowRunner is for you. The same goes for train set kids. I was both. I downloaded SnowRunner last week, have barely been logged...

The Great Deflation: Plastic Surgeons On What's Happening to Famous Faces

Celebrities are just like us in one way: They, too, have had their routines disrupted by covid-19. Some appear to only leave their homes to take a walk or go to the grocery store. Others cannot be bothered to do their everyday makeup; some throw on a bit of glam...

Much Like Your Lazy Ex-Boyfriend, Don Jr Got Kimberly an Edible Arrangement for Their Anniversary

Donald Trump Jr and his girlfriend, former Fox News host and current Trump re-election finance committee chair Kimberly Guilfoyle, celebrated their second year of dating together this weekend, complete with a romantic dinner for two and an Edible Arrangements.

That Incredible Clone Wars Fight Is Even Better When It's Synced Up With Revenge of the Sith

Clone Wars’ endgame has inextricably entangled itself in the events of the Star Wars prequel trilogy’s own endgame in a way that makes for some truly incredible drama (and lightsaber fights; it’s Star Wars, after all).
