With a deal this good, even the most bearded of men would consider a clean shave.

Amazon has the Philips Norelco Electric Shaver 8900 on sale for only $79.95 for Prime Day. This is the wet and dry edition of the shaver, so it means you can use it on a dry face or with shaving gel for a more comfortable and refreshing shave each and every time you use it. 

The system’s “V-Track Precision Blades” glide smoother for a cleaner shave that’s 30% closer to your face. Philips Norelco designed the shaver with three circular heads that can move in eight directions, so it can cut up to 20% more facial hair than the average electric razor.

Sacha Baron Cohen isn’t done with Sarah Palin.

Following Palin’s claims that Baron Cohen “duped” her into an interview for Who Is America? by passing himself off as an American veteran with disabilities, “fake wheelchair and all,” Showtime has released a statement calling out the “widespread misinformation” about the show.

“Baron Cohen did not present himself as a disabled veteran, and viewers nationwide who watched the premiere on Sunday can now attest to that,” said the network.

The episode showed Baron Cohen disguised as Dr. Billy Wayne Ruddick Jr., Ph.D. to interview Sen. Bernie Sanders. When Sanders asks if he lives with disabilities, “Ruddick” responds that he is not. Though Ruddick uses a mobility scooter, he explains that it’s just “to conserve my body’s finite energy.” Read more…

DNA testing kits are one of those things that are on most everyone’s bucket list. But regardless of how cool they are, it may be hard to justify paying nearly $200 to swab your cheek when you have bills to pay.

Except for today, because 23andMe’s Prime Day price seriously has us shook. Their Genetics + Health Ancestry test (one of the only at-home DNA health screenings out there) is on sale for just $99, which is $100 off its regular price and the lowest we’ve ever seen it by far. BLESS.

It’s called 23andMe as a nod to each person’s unique set of 23 chromosomes and it’s the only kit in the DNA lineup to offer health screenings aside from autosomal testing. Fill the tube with your spit, send it back for testing, and get your results in 6-8 weeks. Results are kept indefinitely, so you can log on at any time to see or update your family tree. Read more…

There is a debate taking place online in reaction to the plastic straw bans spreading across the U.S., Canada, and Europe.

As various cities and companies ban plastic straws, advocates for people with disabilities have taken to social media to voice their opposition. First Vancouver in May, then Seattle earlier this month, and now Starbucks, McDonalds, and American Airlines have created laws or policies limiting plastic straws. 

Just this weekend, advocates canceled a protest planned in front of a New York City Starbucks after speaking with a company official about its ban. Starbucks announced on Friday that straws would be available for customers who ask, but did not confirm they would be plastic — a sticking point for advocates who feel like Starbucks isn’t compromising enough.

Your first teaser for the new series of Doctor Who is here.

Months after we watched Peter Capaldi regenerated, as per tradition from the TARDIS, as the 13th Doctor Jodie Whittaker in last year’s Christmas special, BBC unveiled a teaser for the Broadchurch actor’s debut season as the Time Lord on Sunday.

Aired on BB1 during the FIFA World Cup final between Croatia and France, the teaser highlights three companions the Doctor will be adventuring with: Graham, Ryan and Yasmin, played by Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill.

A colossal 11-million ton iceberg is towering over a tiny Greenland village, captured in one of the most jaw-dropping photos you’ll see this week.

Taken by Karl Petersen on Friday, the photograph shows an enormous 650-feet-wide iceberg sitting dangerously close to the village of Innarsuit, an island settlement in the Avannaata municipality in northwestern Greenland. 

Why is this a threat? According to Greenland national newspaper Sermitsiaq, some residents of the 169-population village have evacuated for fear of a tsunami, if parts of the iceberg start breaking off this close to the village’s shore, causing large waves. Read more…
