Incels.me, the toxic misogynistic community of self-proclaimed involuntary celibates, is no more — at least at that web address.

On Tuesday, the .ME registry, which controls the entire .ME domain database, published a post explaining that they — and not a domain registrar like GoDaddy — had suspended the domain. The registry says the domain was suspended over anti-abuse policy infractions based on the promotion of acts of violence and hate speech on the website. Incels.me has been inaccessible since Oct. 15.

Incels.me acted as the main online hub for involuntary celibates, or “incels” for short, who congregated in its forums. The incel community is known for its toxic misogynistic views, identifying themselves as “single without choosing to be so,” and blaming women as well as men in relationships for their own sexual failures.

If you regularly listen to music on an Amazon Echo device — specifically the Echo, new Echo Dot, or Echo Plus — then I can’t recommend the Echo Sub enough. With minimal setup, it greatly improves the musical experience, delivering bass notes that you’ll otherwise miss out on. Read more…

One of the good things about shopping for a gamer on Black Friday: it’s really easy to find some stocking stuffers. This could include games, a basic headset, extra cables, or even a gift card.

One of the best stocking stuffers you can get in today’s connected world (specifically for a PS4 owner) is a PlayStation Plus membership. They’re cheaper than paying monthly and you won’t need to put in any credit card information. That may not sound like much, but at least you’ll rest easy knowing your kids aren’t racking up your credit card bill on V-Bucks.

If you were a kid of the early ’00s, you would’ve listened to Blink-182’s hits just about everywhere. But importantly, have you been saying their name right?

We specifically mean the “182” bit in the band’s name, which, as per a conversation over Twitter, could be “one-eighty-two” or “one-eight-two.” 

The observation was brought up by The Late Late Show writer Ian Karmel, who said the British pronounce it, weirdly enough, “one-eight-two.”

Get ready to sob, because this newfound friendship will pull every single heartstring you have. 

While raking through debris from the devastating Camp Fire that destroyed Paradise, CA, firefighter Ryan Coleman came across a fluffy gray cat. Deciding that Coleman was her human, the friendly cat scaled his body and settled down on his shoulders. 

Already comfortable with her new companion, the cat rode around on his shoulders and affectionately rubbed her face on his stubble. 

In a video posted to Facebook last week, the absolute floof wrapped herself around Coleman’s neck while he surveyed the remnants of Paradise.  Read more…

Ready to upgrade from your e-scooter?

The NERA electric motorcycle is a functioning bike that was made using a 3D printer. The only catch — it’s just a “use case” example for a German 3D printing company to show off its material-making skills. 

Even if it’s not for sale, it’s an impressive print job from the NOWlab at 3D printer company BigRep. Printed in 15 pieces, the NERA bike actually runs on an electric engine embedded in the back rim. The battery is housed within the body. 

Everything but the bike’s electrical components were 3D-printed, including the tires, rims, frame, fork (the part that connects the front wheel and axle to the frame), and seat.  Read more…

It’s officially the time of year where life starts to feel like a big Food Network cooking competition show — starring you as the only contestant. Maybe you’re the master chef of the house, preparing to wow your entire extended family with your most decadent holiday recipes. Or perhaps you’re a total amateur, buying endless boxes of brownie mix and Stove Top Stuffing to hopefully contribute something both easy and edible to gatherings this year. 

Either way, you won’t get very far if you don’t have the tools you need. From pots and pans to baking trays, cutlery, and more, kitchen gear can get a bit pricey — which is why we’re super psyched that Macy’s has a ton of Calphalon cookware sets on sale right nowPlus, when you use the promo code SCORE, you can score an extra 20% off all these items.  Read more…
