Fans Congratulate Tabitha Brown on 'Unexpected' Career Update
Tabitha Brown's presence precedes her. Even without meeting her, you can feel her genuine warmth through the screen. She's funny and witty, exceptionally down to earth, and oh so real. And her unique ability to speak directly to the heart and soul of people from all walks of life makes her incredibly approachable and all the more endearing. It seems as though she was born to be every bit of who she is—inspiring, monumental, full-force Tabitha.
Whether she's sharing her delicious, easy vegan recipes, offering some much-needed life advice in the way that only she can, or just making us laugh with her incredible sense of humor, it's safe to say Mrs. Brown has very much earned the auntie moniker. She feels like a close friend or relative that you can call on when you need someone to cheer you up, and she's always going to give it to you straight. There's something about her aura that just draws you in, and if it doesn't, well, that's your business.

Speaking of business, Tab knows a thing or two about being a multi-hyphenate entrepreneur and has been churning out noteworthy products and projects faster than we can keep up with. When she isn't whipping up magic in the kitchen using her cookbook Cooking From the Spirit, showing us how to use the blends from her exclusive line with McCormick, turning out a vibrant array of products exclusively for Target, helping us keep our natural hair in check with Donna's Recipe, or penning another New York Times best-selling book, Tabitha is most likely flexing her acting chops.You've seen her in roles on The Chi and in a few cameos here and there, but Tabitha the actress is about to have her moment on the big screen. That's right, everyone's favorite internet auntie is adding executive producer and headlining actress to her resume alongside comedic heavyweight Lil Rel Howery. This holiday season, Tabitha Brown, along with an incredibly talented ensemble cast, is headed to the big screen to have an Unexpected Christmas.
What is Unexpected Christmas About?
The film, written by Cassandra Mann and directed by Michael Vaughn Hernandez, follows the Scott family as they gather for the holidays, a reunion that quickly (and hilariously) devolves into chaos. Without giving too much of the plot away, the official synopsis says to expect 'a few romantic mix-ups, old rivalries" and "plenty of family secrets." "With love, laughter, and a little bit of chaos around every corner, this Christmas might just bring the Scotts closer together — or blow the roof off the house!'
In addition to being executive producers, Tabitha Brown and Lil Rel will also star in the movie alongside Anna Maria Horsford, DomiNque Perry, Reagan Gomez-Preston, Terrence Terrell, Trell Woodberry, Howie Bell, Cece Friday, Ricco Ross, and Koryn Hawthorne. The film is slated to be released on November 7, 2025.
What Are Fans Saying
Word of the feature film's release prompted congratulations for the social media personality, with several fans saying, 'So happy for you!!!' Overwhelmingly, fans said they 'Can't wait 🙌🏽' and personally speaking, I can't either. I'll make sure to be front and center on release day for this one. While we don't have a trailer for the film yet, we can only assume that one is coming soon. Either way, like we've always been, we'll be tuned into whatever Auntie Tab has to say next.Fans Congratulate Tabitha Brown on 'Unexpected' Career Update first appeared on Parade on Aug 16, 2025

Teenage Engineering did it again
Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 94, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you're new here, welcome, did you hydrate today, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.) This week, I'm visiting LinkedIn way too much because of Mini Sudoku, looking at the fake texts in Apple's marketing materials, marveling at tiny doodles on microchips, listening to Taylor Swift's New Heights podcast episode, learning about model railroad power debates, reading about the death of expertise, catching up on my favorite HGTV home renovation show, and watching a very good drumline. I also have for you some durable cables, a great new Alien show, a strange RPG, and more. (As always, the best part of Installer is your ideas and tips. What do you want to know more about? What awesome tricks do you know that everyone else should? What app should everyone be using? Tell me everything: [email protected]. And if you know someone else who might enjoy Installer, forward it to them and tell them to subscribe here.) This week I'm featuring Soren Iverson, who you may recognize as the person who posts unhinged design concepts on social media like an iOS app icon filling up based on how many notifications the app has. Whenever these cross my feed, I nearly always cackle. I expected him to bring some of that chaos on his actual homescreen, but I was surprised to learn that his homescreen is even more minimal than mine — which inspired me to make mine a little less busy, too. The phone: iPhone 15 Pro The wallpaper: A black screen. I try to make time on my phone intentional, I call, text, or take notes most frequently. Everything else I bury as a more intentional action I have to take so that I'm generally more focused. The apps: Phone, Messages, Notes I also asked Soren to share a few things he's into right now. Here's what he said: Here's what the Installer community is into this week. I want to know what you're into right now as well!

For even more great recommendations, check out the replies to this post on The Verge, this post on Threads, and this post on Bluesky. 'Buying a bunch of Ubiquiti gear for the new house that totally isn't overkill.' — SorryAboutYourCat 'Model railroading. Been holding off converting to DCC from DC hoping a well designed modern alternative will appear, but it's the same over priced out of date market it's always been.' — RoboticsRob 'I've been playing Merge Maestro way too much. It's a fun match game with Super Auto Pets-like emoji artwork. Free-to-start on mobile with a $2 price for the entire game.' — Dominick 'Reading: The Next Conversation by Jefferson Fisher. Playing: Dishonored for the first time. Watching: Mr. Robot and Murderbot (does this count as a theme?) Rabbit hole: Home Assistant and generally reducing my digital footprint (I say as making this public post).' — Omega86 'Just got to watching The Penguin, and it's a really fun gangster romp set in Gotham. I've mostly tired of the superhero stuff, but I'm always a sucker for good origin tales, and this really delivers. And the secret is, it's really about Sofia Falcone and her war with her patriarchal mob family. Cristin Milioti is fantastic in the role.' — verge_user_m573tv18 'UFO 50 just came out on the Nintendo Switch. I've been following the podcast Eggplant: The Secret Lives of Gamers, which is going through each of the 50 games in a book club-like format, with just one game a week.' — -goobers 'I, like many other people, watched Barbarian recently on Netflix. It's leaving on August 31st. The director's new movie, Weapons, just came out. Highly, highly recommend Barbarian. It's fun to go in blind, and even if you've seen the trailer, you'll still be spared some of its great twists. There's more humor in it than you might expect, and the gruesome aspects aren't over-the-top.' — Cameron Google is about to kick off the 2025 gadget season with its Pixel launch event on August 20th.

Former Solid Snake Actor Makes Admission About Metal Gear Solid 5
Former Solid Snake Actor Makes Admission About Metal Gear Solid 5 originally appeared on GameDaily. For a very long time, David Hayter was synonymous with Solid Snake. He was the first actor to voice the character in 1998's Metal Gear Solid and held onto the role until he was recast for Kiefer Sutherland for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Hayer was very attached to the character and didn't take losing the role well. He swore off playing MGS5 for a very long time, but is finally starting to move on. Hayter is back in the role with the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and he finally decided to give The Phantom Pain a chance. "Well, there was reluctance," Hayter said of playing MGS5 in an interview with PC Gamer. "I didn't want to play the game because I figured it would hurt my feelings. Then, you know, 10 years went by and I was like, 'Ah, to hell with my feelings. What do I care?' … I'm a screenwriter, so I get fired for a living, like I literally, eventually, get fired from every single gig that I've got, and I'm not a child." "I was like, 'Stop being a baby and play the game.' So I played it. It's amazing," Hayter added. The Phantom Pain is light on story compared to other MGS games, but it has some of the best stealth gameplay ever produced, so it's good that Hayter finally gave it a shot. It also helped that he spent some time with Sutherland, who sounds like a great hang. "I ran into Kiefer Sutherland at a bar in Dallas," Hayter said, "and we had a bunch of drinks. And he's a great guy, you know? No, no ill will. All is forgiven." This story was originally reported by GameDaily on Aug 15, 2025, where it first appeared. Solve the daily Crossword

From the Archives: Jeffrey Steingarten on Gourmet Doggy Dining
'Give a Dog a Bone,' by Jeffrey Steingarten, was originally published in the December 1998 issue of Vogue. For more of the best from Vogue's archive, sign up for our Nostalgia newsletter here. "A fat bitch," I announced, licking the juice of a wood-grilled lamb sausage from my fingers, "is never an easy whelper." I was reading from the breeding section of a book called The Golden Retriever: 47Exciting Full-Color Photos. Sky King listened intently but said nothing, and not simply because he had not yet learned to talk. I have found that young males of all species have a limited attention span when it comes to discussions of whelping and obesity. But, as always, Sky King's gaze was eloquent—as it had been earlier that evening when I dumped a plastic cupful of upscale dry dog-food pellets into his bowl and turned away to take care of my own dinner, a half-dozen fat little sausages crackling over a smoldering fire of oak and mesquite on the grill just outside the kitchen door. "I know that you are a fair-minded human," he seemed to be saying, "and that you have only my best interests at heart. But are you absolutely sure that I should be eating this pile of dead and desiccated pellets while you experience the feral delights of sizzling flesh? Who's the carnivore here anyway?" I glanced back at Sky as if to say, "Cats are carnivores, dogs are not." But I had gotten his message. Dogs did not evolve eating dry dog food, and they do not prefer it now. Sky likes a good tomato, a hunk of raw steak, a hunk of grilled steak, pitted cherries, peaches, pizza, overcooked lamb sausages, running shoes, and Fudgsicles. He is neutral on the subject of heavily salted corn chips and has little use for Good & Plentys. Sky loves to eat in bed. Once our respective dinners were through, Sky and I watched the sun setting over San Diego, where he lives and to which I was paying one of my frequent visits. We went back inside and together began to formulate a plan for answering the critical question: What on earth is a growing dog supposed to eat? We ordered a dozen books over the Internet, settled into a comfortable chair, and began reading the relevant sections of The Golden Retriever: 47 Exciting Full-Color Photos, the only research resource immediately at hand. Apart from the caution concerning obese females, its culinary advice was sketchy: Dry dog food is the easiest, served four times a day and moistened with hot water for the youngest puppies, less of- ten and with less water as the puppy matures, and dry as a bone for adults. (The reasons: nutritional balance, total convenience, and minuscule stools.) This was the advice we had followed thus far with Sky King, whom my wife had named after a popular serial hero of radio and black-and-white TV in the forties and fifties, a fictional and fearless rancher-pilot who performed daring rescue and law-enforcement missions in his small private propeller plane. "Out of the clear blue of the Western sky comes Skyyyy Kiiiing!" each episode began. Sky's name is not yet among the top ten for North American dogs, which are currently Sam, Max, Lady, Bear, Mag- gie, Buddy, Tasha, Chelsea, Holly, and Shasta. Tasha?
