Perfect for screening off your patio, balcony, or that spot where your neighbor's lawn gnome keeps staring at you. Promising review: "I am very happy with this reed fencing. The lovely brown color and tight weave with the string is so much better than ones I've had in the past that were weaved with wire that look shabby and horrible. These are a wonderful quality for the price to make putting up large sections of fencing more affordable. They are not completely private as people have mentioned but that's not what I wanted. I wanted to be able to see through a little bit but they work great to give some sense of separation and privacy." —Lauren it from Amazon for $56.09+ (available in seven sizes and two colors). Or an artificial ivy privacy screen if you prefer something that'll add a little bit of greenery. Promising review: "This is a great product for any outdoor space.

HBeeFire is a small business based in Toronto, Canada making metal review: "It's exactly as described, beautiful quality and great communication from seller.

Just inflate the interior pouf and stick it inside the printed, water-resistant review: "Love these! Ordered two more. The fabric is very nice and sturdy especially for outdoors. The inflatable part appears to be good quality. How to: Place inflatable inside of cover before inflating it. Do not inflate to full capacity or it will look like an inflatable and will not rest in a nice flat position. Far nicer than I imagined. They look great flanking my outdoor rattan sectional." —Cali gGet it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in 18 fabric patterns).

A pack of solar-powered path lights to stick right into the ground so your pathways are always lit. Because they're powered by the sun, you never need to worry about running out of battery or turning them on at night. It all happens automatically! Promising review: "I love these — smooth light shades show just enough light on the garden without extra lines showing on the ground. I like that there are three lengths of stakes to use. I used the smallest stake in the dirt at first. But now I must add stones/rocks, so I might have to change the length of the stakes too so it is a good idea to have that option. I have received a lot of compliments on the lights as it is rare to find the lights without distortion (details on the lamps)." —TeriGet it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in packs of four or eight). A glassworks wind chime for adding some gorgeous color to your outdoor space. Nearly all wind chimes are metal or neutral tones — which is fine! — but it's refreshing to find an option that has a bit more flair.

Promising review: "This game has provided many hours of fun for family. The first day I received this, my son and husband played for four hours straight.

A fully insulated, aesthetically pleasing cooler that can hold a lot of your favorite bevvies, thanks to its 45 quart capacity.

Some interlocking teak tiles to section off a special area of your backyard. No tools or glue are required. The tiles just snap together. Teak is also a preferred wood for all outdoor stuff because of its ability to survive through all types of weather. It is one of the few woods around that contains a natural oil that repels water. Bare Decor is a small business in Illinois making teak furniture and review: "Living in Hawaii, you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt–proof, etc... In total I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —AdazzleGet 10 square feet from Amazon for $81.99. A set of nine solar-powered jar lanterns filled with string lights so you can create a fairy-like outdoor experience every time the sun goes down. The battery life can be maintained for more than 500 cycles of charging, so these will be the star of the show for at least a few summers. A retro cornhole set to keep guests entertained. This will be the VIP when everyone's waiting around for their burgers to come off the grill during dinner time. A handcrafted wind bell that's like if modernism and bohemianism had a baby. This chime just has vibes, man. TheCraaft is a woman-owned small business based in Sedona, Arizona making handmade modern wind review: "Upon receiving this, I will be ordering more as gifts.

A two-pack of solar-powered outdoor lantern lights to add just the right amount of illumination to your backyard. Because they don't require electricity, you can hang them and then not worry about maintenance. Promising review: "My goodness, I did not expect to love these lanterns as much as I do. They are very, very good quality and display lots of light. I hung both of them between my small patio and English garden, and they provided enough light for both areas. I received them late afternoon, so they got about four hours in the sun. At 9 p.m., both came on like clockwork. I got up at 3 a.m. to check if they were still on, and they were as bright as ever. They are so dang cute and unique in my yard. I will be buying more. Love, Love, Love them." —Dog TailorGet it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three styles). A garden stake of Big Foot if you want to add a bit of character to your backyard. Because who needs gnomes when you have America's favorite hide-and-seek champion?

Lynch: Rory McIlroy had three goals in 2025. He's achieved the first, now on to the second
Lynch: Rory McIlroy had three goals in 2025. He's achieved the first, now on to the second OAKMONT, Pa. — Twenty-odd years ago, I sat with Ian Woosnam on a golf cart at Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Woosie is the practically-minded son of a Welsh farmer and not given to deep reflection, but on one question he was. He told me he could pinpoint exactly — to the day — when his career decline began. It was April 14, 1991, the day he won the Masters. Woosnam had two goals in his golfing life, other than making a living (his autobiography, Woosie, ends every chapter with a summary of his earnings per season). One dream was to win a major championship. The other was to be the best in the world. On April 8, six days before winning at Augusta National, he reached No. 1 in the official world golf ranking. Two dreams checked off in one week. 'Other people go looking for another mountain to climb,' he told me that day at Kiawah Island. 'I just slid down the other side.' There were 11 more wins on the European Tour, but only one real shot at another major, a decade later in the Open at Royal Lytham, when two drivers in the bag doomed him to a penalty and a tie for 3rd. But the fire that took a diminutive blue-collar guy from hitting balls during winter in his dad's barn to the pinnacle of a white collar sport was extinguished. I thought back to that conversation these past two weeks, listening to Rory McIlroy. Thirty-four years after Woosnam, McIlroy achieved his lifetime dream and completed the career grand slam. The emotion that drained from him on the 18th green and on the walk to the clubhouse — so poignant as to keep the CBS announce team respectfully silent — spoke volumes about what it meant. Shortly afterward, an elated McIlroy opened his press conference with a question that poked fun at the previous decade of inquiries about whether he would win a green jacket: 'What are we all going to talk about next year?' The answer, it turns out, was this: What else ya got? And when ya got it? McIlroy never took time to fully process that seismic accomplishment. Ten days later, he was at the Zurich Classic playing with Shane Lowry, having made a trip to London and Northern Ireland in between. Then it was on to the Truist Championship and straight into another major at the PGA Championship. By comparison, when Tiger Woods won the Masters in '97, and also in '19, he did not make a competitive appearance for five weeks. McIlroy has been asked what comes next several times since the Masters,. Even earlier this week at Oakmont, he was asked what his plan is for the coming years. 'I don't have one. I have no idea,' he said. 'I'm sort of just taking it tournament by tournament at this point. Yeah, I have no idea.' It was disarmingly honest, but alarming for those who fetishize the mentality epitomized by Tiger Woods, a single-mindedness that moves shark-like between feasts without enjoyment or even digestion. It's a sentiment that celebrates racking up accomplishments, but not of taking actual pleasure in those victories. Earlier this year, McIlroy said one of his goals for '25 was to have more fun. It's why he went to a soccer game in Bilbao with friends, why he wants to play in India and Australia later this year. Yet somewhere along the way, he denied himself the time to have fun celebrating the greatest achievement of his career. Now, a minor hangover of sorts has kicked in. "You dream about the final putt going in at the Masters, but you don't think about what comes next,' he said a few days ago. 'I think I've always been a player that struggles to play after a big event, after I win whatever tournament. I always struggle to show up with motivation the next week because you've just accomplished something and you want to enjoy it and you want to sort of relish the fact that you've achieved a goal. Chasing a certain goal for the better part of a decade and a half, I think I'm allowed a little bit of time to relax a little bit.' The schedule doesn't allow much time for relaxation or reflection, even if he had been minded to pursue it. Two majors have passed with not much of an impact, a tie for 47th at Quail Hollow and lingering around the top 25 at Oakmont as the final round wound down. In a casual conversation a few months back, he summarized his objectives for the year: win the Masters, win the Open at Royal Portrush, win an away Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. As he prepared to leave Pittsburgh, McIlroy acknowledged fresh motivation is on the horizon for the second item on that list. 'If I can't get motivated to get up for an Open Championship at home, then I don't know what can motivate me,' he said. 'I just need to get myself in the right frame of mind. I probably haven't been there the last few weeks. But as I said, getting home and having a couple weeks off before that, hopefully feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, will get me in the right place again.' Just 63 days have passed since that victorious evening at Augusta National. Only 32 remain until balls are in the air at the 153rd Open. Maybe that hasn't been enough time to celebrate realizing a dream 30 years in the making, but it's probably enough to narrow the focus to knocking off the second item on his target list for '25.

First Shadowy Look at Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man in MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE — GeekTyrant
Nicholas Galitzine just wrapped filming Masters of the Universe, and while fans still haven't seen the full transformation of Prince Adam into He-Man, we now have our first moody, silhouetted look at the new champion of Eternia. Galitzine posted the photo on Instagram alongside a heartfelt message reflecting on the experience: 'Well, that's a wrap on Masters of the Universe. It has been an honour shouldering the responsibility of playing Adam and He-Man. It's been the role of a lifetime and I put everything into it. There's not much I can show you, but I am so proud of the movie we've made. Thanks to our amazing cast and crew for all your hard work.' The image offers a shadowy profile of Galitzine's He-Man standing tall, sword at his back, but it's enough to get fans talking. It seems director Travis Knight is aiming for something visually dramatic and is trying to capture the visual style of the classic cartoon series. Knight, best known for Kubo and the Two Strings and Bumblebee , is directing the film for Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films, with a script written by Chris Butler, building off earlier drafts by David Callaham and the Nee Brothers. The film stars Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-at-Arms, Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Hafthor Bjornsson as Goat Man, Kojo Attah as Tri-Klops, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Malcolm/Fisto, and Morena Baccarin as The Sorceress. Masters of the Universe follows '10-year old Prince Adam, who crashed to Earth in a spaceship and was separated from his magical Power Sword—the only link to his home on Eternia. 'After tracking it down almost two decades later, Prince Adam is whisked back across space to defend his home planet against the evil forces of Skeletor. 'But to defeat such a powerful villain, Prince Adam will first need to uncover the mysteries of his past and become He-Man, the most powerful man in the Universe.' Between the ensemble cast, the mythic origin setup, I hope that , Masters of the Universe is shapes up to be a great and nostalgic adventure film. Masters of the Universe hits theaters on June 5, 2026.
