Warning: Mild spoilers for Child's Play (2019) below.

It may seem strange that a horror movie about a killer doll is better primed to terrify Big Tech execs than kids and parents — but in Child's Play 2019, that's exactly what Chucky is after.

Careful what you wish for, horny people of Instagram. 

Belle Delphine, an Instagram star who often posts  NSFW content, might be in the midst of a content coup d'état.

TL;DR: Zuo Modern is a line of really nice contemporary decor and furniture at Walmart, and a ton of items are up to 50% off (or more).

When you hear the name "Meryl Streep," what's the first movie that comes to mind? Perhaps it's a classic like Kramer vs. Kramer, or maybe it's a crowd favorite like Mamma Mia. Or maybe, for reasons no regular human could ever understand, it's Ricki and the Flash. Everyone's different!

On November 28, 2017, the price of one bitcoin hit the magical figure of $10,000. At the time, it seemed ridiculous; Bitcoin was this weird internet money that wasn't quite money and that cost a couple hundred dollars per coin just a year ago.

Unpopular opinion: I really like 3D Touch on iPhone.

Apple introduced the pressure-sensitive display technology on the iPhone 6S in 2015 as an evolution of multi-touch. Apple executives gushed about how pressing harder on the screen would add a new dimension to tapping and swiping.
