Netflix has been mysteriously quiet about the new docuseries Dark Tourist from New Zealand journalist and filmmaker David Farrier (July 20). Farrier made his name in the U.S. for exploring disturbing corners of the internet—see his haunting 2016 documentary Tickled and this creepy exploration of kids being exploited…
If you’re nursing an obsession with MSNBC’s Lockup series, this is the week to finish State Prisons: Collection 1 (leaving July 15) to make room for Extended Stay: Collection 1 (arriving July 9).
Netflix didn’t stack its lineup with bingeable fare for the mid-week holiday, so you’ll have to content yourself with stalwarts from your queue if you’re planning to be an A/C hermit this 4th. (I’ll be diving into Mindhunter at long last.)

For its tenth season, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee moves to Netflix, debuting twelve new episodes on July 6. While the whole season looks pretty good, I think can all agree that Kate McKinnon and Dave Chappelle are the big gets this time around. Other caffeinated passengers that appear promising include Jerry…
“I’m not telling you to make the world better, because I don’t think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I’m just telling you to live in it.

Hey, what on earth are you doing on Wednesday night? If you live in the New York City area and the answer isn’t “having a drink with Lifehacker and talking about manhood” then I suggest you take a hard look at your choices as well as your unnatural devotion to Riverdale and reconsider. We’re hosting the very first…
It will come as no surprise that, as the editor of a website devoted to productivity, I’m obsessive about refining the details of my tech life to be certain every element is helping me get the job done. While I have software that I swear by (WriteRoom, Deckset, Evernote), I’m more of an evangelist for my favorite…
This is a first paragraph and it has a drop cap. How does that look to you? The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.Th
Your intentions are good. You learned long ago that the polite guest never shows up empty-handed to a dinner party and you’ve stuck by it. You always grab a bouquet of Trader Joe’s wildflowers on your way to the fete that you thrust magnanimously into the arms of your host on arrival. You’re polite! You sweat the…
On the latest episode of The Upgrade, we’re talking about the self-proclaimed “front page of the Internet,” the massive online community known as Reddit. For some, Reddit is a second home, a place to hang out, post links, chat and trash talk with like-minded friends and foes. For others, it’s a confusing rabbit…
This graduation speech by Australian comedian and Groundhog Day composer Tim Minchin contains a bit of advice that I’ve certainly heard elsewhere, but seems especially useful at a time when we’re all exhausted by the constant pressure to assert our identity on social media.

Ah 2017, the year fake news took over our timelines, and the attendant hand-wringing took over our lives. It’s not as if we needed more things to disturb us on Facebook—we’ve been FOMO-gnashing our teeth to dust for a decade, after all. As this year comes to a close, I encourage you to gird yourself for the certain…
