It can be hard to get some peace and quiet even on an average day, but with the holidays slowly yet steadily approaching, it’s about to become impossible. Luckily, though, today, Sony’s WH-1000XM5s have dropped to one of their best prices yet, selling for $299.99 ($100 off) at Amazon, Target, and directly from Sony in almost every colorway.

Donald Trump is a dangerous maniac who can barely complete a sentence, and it is lunacy to believe he can even recognize the existentially threatening collective action problems facing our nation, let alone actually solve them.  Collective action problem is the term political scientists use to describe any situation where a large group of people would do better for themselves …

The one tiny image of the new silver Mac Mini shows what appear to be a headphone jack and two front-facing USB-C ports, presumably with at least Thunderbolt 4 support. It’s available with a base or Pro version of the new M4 chipset, with up to 14 CPU cores, 20 GPU cores, 64GB of memory, and 8TB of storage. The …

Let’s pause — I would like to reflect on this incredible phrase, about an asset class that democratizes access to events as they unfold.
