With historic heatwaves, the product of summer 2025 was the personal fan . These pocket-sized devices were everywhere, with people using them to stay cool on their commute home or while in the throes of VidCon . Portable fans are an easy, cheap way to stay cool with dozens of options available on Amazon, yet we're not surprised to see a luxe option appear in 2026. Enter, the Shark ChillPill. Opens in a new window Credit: Shark Shark ChillPill $149.99 at Amazon   Shop Now Shark's ChillPill is a handheld fan with digital controls. It twists to contort into a comfortable handhold or to create a little perch, like it's a miniature tabletop fan. It has 10 speeds, which the brand claims push air up to 25 feet. When kicked up to max speed, it's a noisy device akin more to a hair dryer than a fan. The Shark ChillPill comes with three interchangable attachments: The InstaChill Cooling Plate (installed), fan head, and misting head. Credit: Samantha M...

TL;DR: Live stream PSG vs. Chelsea in the Champions League for free on Virgin Media Player . Access this free live stream from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN . The Champions League is back this week with a number of interesting matchups, but PSG vs. Chelsea might be the best of the bunch. It's the defending champions against the two-time winners — it's shaping up to be something special. PSG lead Ligue 1, but they've not been that dominant this season. They are only one point ahead of Lens in the standings and some might argue that they got lucky in the playoff round against Monaco .

Uber is now offering its women-only safety feature, known as Women Preferences, to users nationwide. First launched to pilot markets in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit last July, the feature lets users and drivers select gender preferences for ride matches and schedule rides with women drivers. The setting is also available for Uber Teen Accounts. SEE ALSO: Yet another state makes moves to end dynamic pricing "Women Preferences was created because women asked for it," the company wrote in a March 9 blog post . According to the company, Women Preferences has been used for 230 million rides since its launch. It's available for drivers in 40 countries and for riders in seven countries (the U.S., Germany, France, Saudi Arabia, Portugal, Brazil, and Spain). Uber's competitor Lyft launched a similar feature connecting women and nonbinary riders to non-male drivers nearly two years earlier. Lyft expanded the Women+ Connect tool nationwide in 2024.

Back for Season 2, Dreaming Whilst Black is a sharp, must-watch satire about the entertainment industry, and the barriers blocking Black artists in TV and film. Co-created by, co-written by and starring Jamaican-British filmmaker Adjani Salmon, the show's timeliness cannot be understated. As Robert Daniels writes in his Season 1 review for Mashable , "While Black directors like Jordan Peele , Ava DuVernay , Ryan Coogler , Barry Jenkins , and Steve McQueen are respected, award-winning auteurs, the film industry hasn’t become that much easier for young Black directors. Black creatives are largely still shut out of filmmaking because of institutional racism, economic hardship, or by simply not knowing the right people."

When NASA crashed a spacecraft into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos in 2022, it altered both Dimorphos' orbit around its parent asteroid, Didymos, and the two objects' orbit around the sun, according to new research . NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said in a press release that this "marks the first time a human-made object has measurably altered the path of a celestial body around the Sun." It's a promising result as scientists work to find a feasible method of defending Earth from hazardous space objects. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission was designed to demonstrate one possible way of deflecting such an object, targeting the non-threatening moonlet Dimorphos, which is about 560 feet wide. NASA quickly declared it a success after its initial analysis showed the planned collision shortened Dimorphos' orbit around Didymos, the larger of the two objects in the binary asteroid system. In a follow-up study published in 2024 , a team...

It seems Sony has been experimenting with dynamic pricing across the PlayStation Store, apparently since as early as November of last year, targeting discounts to specific player regions. This is according to the website PSPrices , which has closely tracked trends in Sony’s pricing over time, and it recently  reported an increase  in the number of games undergoing dynamic pricing.  In 68 regions and across 139 games, including first-party AAA titles like  God of War ,  Spider-Man ,  HELLDIVERS 2 , and  Stellar Blade , Sony offered average discounts ranging from just over 5 percent at the low end to nearly 18 percent at the high end. PSPrices even discovered that personalized discounts were being offered, with some lucky accounts receiving a massive 56 percent off the regular price of the popular Helldivers 2 game.

Netflix's library of streamable party games is expanding today with a custom version of Overcooked! All You Can Eat . Netflix launched its cloud gaming program with games like Lego Party and Tetris Time Warp , but Overcooked feels a bit unique because it features a roster of Netflix-affiliated characters from KPop Demon Hunters and Stranger Things . For the uninitiated, Overcooked plays like a more manic version of Diner Dash , where teams attempt to prepare food together in increasingly elaborate kitchens filled with obstacles. The original version of Overcooked! All You Can Eat was released in 2020, and includes DLC and stages from previous versions of the game. Netflix's version bundles in the same content, and "10 Netflix celebrity chefs" including "Dustin, Eleven, Lucas, and the Demogorgon from Stranger Things ," and "half-dozen faces from KPop Demon Hunters ," like "Mira, Rumi, Zoey, Jinu, Derpy and Sussie." Like Netflix...

As a lesbian, you probably know all about dating apps . Lesbian Americans (along with bisexual and gay Americans) are far more likely to have ever used dating apps than straight Americans: 51 percent to 28 percent, according to the Pew Research Center. There are a few reasons why LGBTQ people might turn to online dating quicker than straight folks. For one, you might live in an area without a thriving LGBTQ community, and in-person dating may be hard. If you don't know other lesbians to begin with, how can you meet more IRL to date? (Sometimes, lesbian spaces can also be co-opted by The Straights.) And, unfortunately, in-person dating may also be less safe depending on where you live.  Thankfully, we live in a time where we can find people like us with a few swipes. Lesbians are welcome on major dating apps, and there are also niche ones specifically for lesbians and other queer women and people. But which one to choose?
