A few days before I started watching Amadeus, an influx of young people flooded my TikTok For You Page, playing various Bach pieces on different orchestral instruments while remixing each song with modern music. It was all thanks to a passing trend, but it did briefly make me wonder if classical musical was making a resurgence in digital pop culture.If those same kids watch the new five-episode Sky TV…
Ina Garten has taught us so many great tips, tricks, and recipes over the years. But if we had to pick just one thing we’ve learned from the Barefoot Contessa, the piece of advice we’d always choose is a no-brainer: Store-bought is fine! Garten has been saying it for years, but besides a jar of marinara sauce here and a melted ice cream crème anglaise there, we could never really picture our Hamptons-living, giant Cosmo-drinking celebrity chef popping a Trader Joe’s dessert on the table. That was until she told us that’s quite literally what she did last holiday season.…

Though I’m a huge fan of all pasta, I have a soft spot for lasagna, especially in the winter. While it can feel a little too heavy for summer, once the cold air rolls in, I fluff my fresh mozzarella pillows, pull ricotta-smothered pasta sheets up to my neck, and tuck myself into a meat-sauce casserole until spring. Right on cue, Ina Garten recently brought the best of the best into my kitchen with her famous turkey sausage lasagna recipe—and it’s as easy as a nine-layer masterpiece can get. Thankfully, this isn’t one of those viral 100-hour lasagnas from YouTube.…
Grok, the chatbot built by Elon Musk’s xAI and popularized on his social media platform X, appears to have repeatedly spread misinformation about today’s mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia. Gizmodo pointed to a number of posts where Grok misidentified the bystander — 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed — who disarmed one of the gunmen, and where it questioned the authenticity of videos and photos capturing al Ahmed’s actions. In one post, the chatbot misidentified the man in a photo as an Israeli hostage, and in another post brought up irrelevant information about the Israeli army’s treatment of Palestinians. In…

I don’t even want to think about how much money I’ve spent on gaming headsets over the years. The answer is way too much, and all because it took me far too long to give up. I’m not here to tell you to never buy yourself a gaming headset. I’m just here to say: don’t expect it to be good, because it most likely won’t be. Why can’t gaming headsets keep up It’s all about priorities Credit: Tim Rattray / How-To Geek Most gaming headsets are a result of some sort of compromise.

Why It Works These homemade meringue cookies have a great texture and deep chocolate flavor.Try to pick a high-quality dark chocolate (61 to 70% is recommended) that you absolutely love for a pure, unadulterated chocolate flavor.Adding the sugar steadily and in small amounts ensures that you are stabilizing the meringue while the sugar dissolves properly into the mixture. It’s hard to crack open a pastry cookbook without encountering at least one recipe that calls for the use of French meringue.
