10 best self-help books, ranked

As I have spent a good part of the last year in and out of hospitals, ICUs, trauma treatment centers, and eating disorder treatment, I feel like I have read almost every self-help book under the sun. Once my doctors and therapists caught wind of my love of reading—which wasn’t hard since I always had at least three physical books on me—they would immediately assign me take-home reading.

Some of these self-help books were boring beyond belief. Others were as engrossing as the latest Stephen King novel. Although some of the most boring books are considered classics in the therapy/medical trade, I won’t bother you with those, as they require reading in a particular headspace, a.k.a. a healthy one.

This recurring character is the true hero of ‘Father Brown’

Father Brown has enjoyed a 12-season run for a reason. The show is undeniably popular, featuring a loveable cast of characters, gorgeous Cotswold countryside cottages, and intriguingly easy-to-follow criminal investigations. It’s the perfect daytime British crime drama.

At the center of it all is Mark Williams’ kind yet sneaky Father Brown, a man who loves God and his flock as much as he loves solving thefts and murders. Most of the time, it’s easy for him to reconcile his amateur detective work with his position as Kembleford’s leading religious voice, but every once in a while, one character pops up that challenges not only his faith but his loyalty and duty as well. That character is master art thief Hercule Flambeau (John Light), and he is, in my humble opinion, the best part of the show.

10 best ‘Severance’ theories, ranked

It’s no surprise that Severance is one of the most talked about and beloved shows out there, even though it’s only in its second season. It feels like a show that comes around once in a generation, like Breaking Bad or The Wire. The whole sci-fi/horror/dystopian/workplace comedy combo is not just a show, it feels like something more. It’s a show that lights up people’s brains and has them watching and rewatching every episode for hints and clues about what Lumon is really up to.

There are so many possibilities, so we’re here to look at the 10 best Severance theories to see if we can figure out just what’s going on at Lumon Industries. This was written right after season 2, episode 4, “Woe’s Hollow” aired, so not to spoil anything, but we learn something pretty big in that episode. A Helly/Helena question gets answered, so we won’t touch on that one in our theory list.

Wait, is ‘One Piece’ leaving Netflix?

Thanks to streaming services like Netflix, it’s easier to watch Eiichiro Oda’s acclaimed epic One Piece than ever before. The anime, which has produced over 1000 episodes, began airing in 1997 and has spawned several movies, television specials, and a live-action series that’s genuinely worth watching.

If you’ve taken on the gargantuan task of watching One Piece, however, you might want to pick up the pace—Netflix is gearing up to remove a few One Piece stories from its platform. Netflix’s expansive catalog is the streamer’s biggest appeal, but it infamously loves to remove shows as quickly as it churns them out, often through cancelation. Of course, Netflix cannot cancel the One Piece anime the way it cancels many of its beloved Originals, but it will remove a couple of the anime’s best movies before the end of February.

‘The doomsday scenario’: Lawyers warn Americans over Trump’s potential unchecked power

Understandably, we’re all very worried about what the Trump administration has in store for this country. Apparently, as lawyers point out, there’s a new fear on the horizon: unchecked unilateral totalitarianism.

Even when things get bad in America, they are, in theory, mostly tempered by our system of checks and balances. Policies and executive orders, such as those currently being used by the Trump administration, typically have to be moderated by the other branches, such as the legislative and judicial branches of the U.S. government.

Famous British TV personality denies making inappropriate sexual comments to women

Gino D’Acampo, a famous name to British TV viewers, has been accused of making inappropriate sexual comments.

D’Acampo, best known for his work with ITV, is the subject of a new investigation by ITV News. The allegations paint a picture of a disturbing pattern of behavior—some of which was in plain sight.

‘Bringing danger closer to home for our officers than ever before’: ‘Blue Lights’ season 3 release window, cast, plot, and more

Blue Lights, the heart-stopping police procedural set in Belfast, is unlikely to slow down soon. Not only did the BBC renew Blue Lights for season 3 before the show’s second outing had even aired, but we already know that season 4 is in the works, too. What more could we possibly ask for?

When I spoke to Blue Lights co-creators Declan Lawn and Adam Patterson during the press tour for Blue Lights season 2, it was clear that they’d already thought about the show’s long-term arc and how certain key moments would play into season 3 and even season 4.

‘Yellowjackets’: Jackieshauna is still the show’s best gay ship

Cue the catchy and eerie Yellowjackets theme song and cannibalism in the Canadian wilderness. Yellowjackets is a series that has got many people hooked for several reasons. The series follows a soccer team stranded in the wilderness in the ’90s and what their adult lives look like in the 2020s, and it’s making its return with season 3 on Valentine’s Day!
Yellowjackets is gripping and blends several genres, and the ’90s flashbacks are a huge reason for its popularity. Instead of discussing all of that goodness, though, I’m digging into a specific queer ship in the fandom. There are several queer Yellowjackets ships, like Taivan (Taissa and Van) for example, which is explicitly canon in Yellowjackets.

Meanwhile, one of the top-tier queer pairings in the Yellowjackets fandom is Jackieshauna, the ship that’s comprised of Shauna Shipman (Sophie Nélisse and Melanie Lynskey) and Jackie Taylor (Ella Purnell). While we never see them kiss or become girlfriends, there’s a thrumming of homoeroticism between them, and the ghost of Jackie continues to linger, even to this day, for Shauna.

Let’s get to the bottom of ‘Biblically Accurate Angels’

‘Going to HATE the new cover’: Trump’s reaction to ‘TIME’ Magazine’s upcoming cover is exactly what the internet expected it to be

Since President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk has been in the news—a lot. Perhaps too much, as it turns out.

The tipping point? TIME magazine recently published its second February 2025 cover, which features Musk sitting at the president’s Resolute desk. There is perhaps no better or more powerful symbol of the American presidency than the presidential seal itself. The Republicans against Trump X account predicted that Trump would “HATE the new cover of TIME magazine.”

Is there a ‘Reincarnated as a Sword’ season 2 release date?

When Reincarnated as a Sword’s second season was greenlit before the finale of season 1, fans breathed a sigh of relief. That sigh might have been premature, though, as now, more than two years later, we’re still waiting on season 2.

The isekai anime, which sees an unnamed man transported to a fantastical world after being transformed into a sword, was released in the fall anime season of 2022. Producers greenlit a second season after the show received positive reviews and ratings. The announcement was made on the anime’s official X account, but other than the fact it would return, not much else was revealed. There was no timeline or release date, leaving viewers to twiddle their thumbs; something anime fans are very used to, unfortunately.

A ‘Victorious’ spin-off is happening, but with a twist

2000s and 2010s kids, this one is for you.

In 2013, the beloved Nickelodeon series Victorious wrapped up its final season. The show spurred one spin-off series, Sam & Cat, which sadly only lasted one year and ended in 2014. Since then, it’s been almost ten years since fans heard any news about Victorious. Until now, that is.

Bill Gates dishes on ‘feel like a misfit’ childhood and how he overcame Harvard dropout in new memoir ‘Source Code’

Bill Gates’s new memoir, Source Code: My Beginnings, lets fans into the origin story of how the Microsoft CEO became who he is today. It goes surprisingly deep into Gates’s life, telling everything from the businessman growing up in Seattle, Washington, to dropping out of college to start Microsoft.

Gates took to his blog, GatesNotes, to tell fans what they can expect to read in the new memoir, which was released earlier this month. “I’ve been in the public eye since my early 20s, but much of my life before then isn’t well known”, he said. “Over the years, I’ve often been asked about my upbringing, my time at Harvard, and co-founding the company. Those questions made me realise that people might be interested in my journey and the factors that influenced it.”

Megan Moroney enjoys ‘a few days off’ in St. Barts ahead of jam-packed 2025 tour

Megan Moroney is taking a break before she hits the road this spring for her “Am I Okay?” tour. The “Tennessee Orange” singer took to her Instagram on Jan. 12 to share a photo dump of her luxurious vacation. “here’s proof i took a few days off…. back to writing songs tmrw,” she wrote in the caption.

The first photo showed her lounging by the beach with a friend by her side as they enjoyed some drinks. She donned a white bikini with a baby pink flowy cover-up. Several other photos captured amazing views, including the orange sunset with a boat on the water, along with images of her friends and family enjoying their vacation in paradise.

Will there be ‘Cruel Intentions’ season 2?

Trends in fashion, culture, and entertainment tend to be cyclical which is why the 90s is having a big moment right now. Combine that nostalgia with the entertainment industry’s preference for revamping established intellectual properties instead of making original content and it is no wonder that Prime Video made a series of the same name based on the 1999 film Cruel Intentions.

The original flick was written and directed by Roger Kumble and is based on Les Liaisons dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’. The source material dates back to 1782 but Kumble updated the premise setting it instead at an elite prep school in New York City. Young Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Reese Witherspoon lend their talents to the teen drama which has become a cult classic.
