Samsung might be working on a “Galaxy S25 Slim” model, with similar rumors to the ones about a “Slim” iPhone 17 in 2025 that may replace the iPhone Plus. South Korea’s ET news first reported on it, saying Samsung might release a slim smartphone during the second quarter of 2025 (April – June) as a follow-up a few months after the rest of the Galaxy S25 family makes their debut.

An influencer was disqualified from the NYC Marathon for bringing a filming crew onto the course

Influencers run marathons. Or maybe marathon runners become influencers? It's a chicken and the egg kind of question, but it's a scenario that has been a constant since the dawn of running culture online — especially on TikTok — and one that has only picked up since the pandemic.

This is normally not a problem — in fact it's a benefit. Marathons have gotten more popular, in part, because of influencers, which most people see as an overall positive addition to the sport. But something...

'Mario & Luigi: Brothership' review: Good combat and great visuals aren't enough

If you just watched someone play Mario & Luigi: Brothership for an hour or so, you might come away thinking it’s one of the best Switch games and/or RPGs of the year. Unfortunately, the game is much longer than an hour.

Brothership, the latest in the long-running brotherly RPG series starring Nintendo’s mascot and his idiot brother, has most of the component parts you need for an enjoyable adventure. The turn-based combat is as fun as ever, especially when paired with some of the most...

Jared Verse is playing like NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year for Rams

The Rams’ first-round pick is an absolute baller. Here’s why.

Los Angeles Rams’ EDGE Jared Verse has been the most impressive defensive rookie in the NFL, and I’m not sure if it’s close. His 20% Pass Rush win rate has him tied with Pittsburgh’s TJ Watt, despite being doubled 25% of the time. He’s 11th in total pressures in the entire league as a rookie, and among all players with at least 15 pressures this season, he’s sixth in...

I was a poll worker yesterday. It reaffirmed my faith in America

This week’s election felt like the most divisive of my lifetime, but instead of doom-scrolling my way through it, I found a place where people still put politics aside.

The week before the 2020 election, I took to running up and down the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts, at night instead of sleeping. I gave myself shin splints and ended up frightening the neighbors.

What Elon Musk really wants

The Tesla CEO played a pivotal role in securing a second Trump presidency. Here’s where he stands on the issues.

If there’s one person former president Donald Trump can thank for his decisive election night victory, it’s Elon Musk. The tech billionaire propelled Trump to a second term on a wave of $119 million in funding to his America PAC, a spree of $1 million giveaways to registered voters, a spate of misleading ads online, and an aggressive voter turnout operation in swing states.
