Life is full of decisions. Whilst some seem important but aren’t, like which pizza topping to pick or what colour your next gel mani should be, others, like which watch to invest in, actually take careful consideration. For most, selecting the correct timepieces is a lengthy process as—let’s be honest—they can come with a hefty price tag and are something you want to wear for decades, perhaps pass down for generations and need to compliment all facets of your personal style. When considering the best watches for women, it’s no secret that they’re often not thought of as a quote-unquote must-have or trending piece. Shoes and…

When you hunt the tree of heaven, you come to know it by its smell. A waft of creamy peanut butter leads you to a tall trunk, silvery and nubbled like cantaloupe rind, rising into a wide crown of papery pink seeds and slender leaves. To kill this tree, you cannot simply cut it down with a chainsaw. Ailanthus altissima is a hydra; it counters any assault by sealing off its wounds and sending up a horde of new shoots across its root system. Where you had one tree, now you have a grove of clones extending 25 feet all around you. No,…
As promised, Paramore are now sharing the second song from their upcoming This Is Why album, a new track titled “The News.”As you might gather from the song’s title, Hayley Williams takes a more worldly approach with the lyrics addressing the current state of the world within her vocal take. She opens by singing of a war on the far side of the planet, then turns the “war” idea to describe her inner turmoil going on behind her eyes just like a headache and eventually sounding the call to turn off the news. She belts, “Shut your eyes but it…

If you are a lover of tabletop games, chances are you’ve gone to, or hosted, a game night. They can be so much fun! Everyone gathered around a table with snacks, drinks, dice, games, and friendship. But with lots of people gathered around those D&D tables comes a very challenging problem: space. And to a lesser extent, organization. This is especially relevant with Dungeons and Dragon, where everyone has all their dice, character sheets, notebooks and other D&D accessories. Not to mention the…

On Friday, Megan Fox got her fans very excited when she posted on Instagram about seeking a girlfriend. Sharing photos and short video clips of herself in a fluffy purple bucket hat and a plunging halter top in magenta and black, she captioned the carousel, “Currently seeking a girlfriend. Please submit applications in the DMs.”The response in her comments were pretty overwhelming, so Fox’s DMs were probably total chaos. Even her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly, had something to say. In a comment on the pics, he wrote, “I don’t think you have the filing capacity for this request.”It’s not clear…

It was rumored this month that 48-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio was potentially romancing 23-year-old model Victoria Lamas. Victoria is the daughter of actor Lorenzo Lamas, and he has seemingly confirmed their date night in some comments to the New York Post on December 28. “She’s very smitten,” he said. “I told her to treat the relationship like a holiday—just enjoy it as much as you can for as long as it lasts. And if it lasts for more than a typical holiday, great. But if not, then just guard your heart, you know? Because she’s very young.”He did pull back a…
In all of these examples, membership tokens can be traded on the open market, because they sit on top of public blockchain infrastructure owned by no single company. So in a scenario in which loyalty to a brand earns someone a particular benefit (say, a lifetime discount), that person can choose to convert their efforts into cash by trading away their NFT. With a traditional non-NFT membership, which cannot be passed freely from one person to another, that value cannot be redeemed.The same premise could extend into virtual worlds too, says Alex Salnikov, cofounder of NFT marketplace Rarible, who predicts…
