These 39 Products Must Have Been Designed By Masterminds
A pair of ceiling fan charms that not only make for some really cute decor but are actually quite helpful. The next time you want to turn on the light when it's pitch dark in your room, you'll get it right on the first try instead of playing the guessing game. An RFID-blocking travel wallet so the next time you're traveling, you'll feel a whole lot more organized because this handy dandy thing can hold your passport, wallet, cards, and even your phone! You'll never hold up the TSA line again while you scramble to find your ID that's hidden at the bottom of your bag. A "flossing toothbrush" that'll have you singing 🎶my shiny teeth and me🎶 because it'll clean the spaces between your pearly whites that most toothbrushes can't even reach. The extra long and thin bristles allow it to reach between the teeth, under the gum line, and in those crevices — there will be no cavities here, fingers crossed! Plus reviewers with sensitives gums say it's super soft and doesn't hurt to brush. A pair of seamless Nippies silicone pasties because sometimes we just can't be bothered to ~free the nip~. These won't show through your tops and will help cover your areola and nipple, especially if you're planning on wearing any mesh or sheer blouses. Shout color-catching sheets so the next time you do laundry you don't have to separate your whites from your colors. These'll capture all the running dye so you can save those tears when you realize your favorite shirt is still white! A clever coffee pod tray that's perfect for those early mornings when you don't even have the energy to open the pantry and reach around to find a K-Cup. You can install it under your cabinet and slide it out for easy access — oh, and it'll save some storage space and you'll literally be making use out of all the surfaces of your kitchen! A jewelry cleaning stick because your fave everyday ring has gone through the wringer and back and lost all of its sparkle.

A Cat Dancer toy that'll for sure get you feline friend movin', even if they're the grumpiest cat in town. An easy-to-use Yonanas soft serve maker because your sweet tooth always craves ice cream at night but you never have any on hand or you simply don't want to go to the grocery store to get some. Well if you have any frozen fruit, this baby can turn it into a delicious sorbet without any additional ingredients! A cult-favorite Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer that may just give the Dyson Airwrap a run for its money, especially if you consider the price points. If you want a salon-like blowout without having to spend that much time, effort, or money, this was basically made for you because it'll dry and style your hair at the same — two birds with one stone, am I right? An eyelash comb to separate your lashes when your mascara clumps up after applying. Just brush this through a few times and you're good to go! A drain cover because your *entire* body deserves to be submerged in water when you take a bubbly, hot bath instead of your shoulders and knees falling victim to the overflow drain. This angel will allow your tub to fill up to whatever height YOU want it to be and you'll finally be able to relax, hallelujah. A handy meal planning pad so your children, spouse, or roommates stop pestering you every day asking what's for dinner.

Plus it comes with a detachable shopping list if you're one to go rogue at the grocery store and forget what you were there for. An adjustable mug organizer set because trying to stack mugs is no simple feat. If you can't stand seeing your cups take up all the space in your cabinet, you have come to the right place, my friend. These genius stackers let you store drinkware safely and securely on top of each other so you can make the most of your cabinet real estate. A handy little cleaning ball that you can leave in your bag to capture any dirt, dust, or crumbs that *dare* to enter. You can also take it out of the casing and roll it around to pick up whatever is left over! This won't end up in your junk drawer; it'll just live in your bag. A "Life Binder" printable if you want your life to be as organized as Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Amy Santiago — she would buy this with no hesitation. It comes with pre-made charts that you can fill out with all the important info in your life and there are also sections where you can store your paperwork. When tax season comes around, you'll never have to frantically search for your W-2 ever again because it'll be safely stored in here! A pair of prism spectacles that are ideal for people in their "lazy gal" era (aka me). You can lie completely flat on your back to read or scroll through TikTok instead of doing an unintentional core workout and straining your neck just to prop your head up. A HyperChiller device if you cannot stand drinking warm or lukewarm bevs (trust me, I so get it). It'll turn any drink — as long as it's not carbonated — ice-cold in less than a minute *gasp* and it won't water it down *GASP*. Iced-coffee only drinkers, unite! A small but mighty desktop vacuum so you can finally rid your desk and window sills of dust, crumbs, and everything else that's been lingering there without having to lug out that big ol' vacuum. A kitchen mixer cord organizer because those clunky cords that just sit on your counter are such an eyesore. Just attach the organizer to the back of any appliance with the included Command Strip and wrap the cable around it. A strainer that clips onto the side of any pot, pan, or bowl so you don't have to bring out that big, bulky colander — plus it takes up way less space and you can even store it in a drawer! You can also use this to wash your fruits and veggies so nothing ends up in the sink. A smartphone sanitizer if you've been scared of germs ever since (or before) COVID, and rightfully so. Not only will it sanitize your phone for you, but it also serves as a place to charge it — a win-win! You can also use it on any other products that'll fit in here like keys or a small wallet. A dishwasher-safe unicorn pool floa*tea* infuser that is just so darn *unique-corn* and fun! Just fill the bottom of it with the loose tea leaves of your choice and let it swim around your mug. I. need. it. now. A caddy because your nightstand is just a little too far of a reach when you're comfy cozy in bed and you don't want to move an inch to grab your iPad. You can attach this helping hand to the side of your couch or bed to store your remotes, glasses, phone, and more! A folding car trunk organizer that's perfect for all your Costco runs since it's almost impossible to find a box big enough for everything you bought. You'll be able to store everything neatly in here without things toppling over in your trunk every time you hit the brakes. Blind-spot mirrors because parallel parking and merging lanes can be such a pain. in. the. neck (yes, figuratively and literally). With these helpful lil' gizmos, you'll be able to save so much time trying to squeeze into that space *and* do it safely! An eye makeup remover so you can remove your eyeliner and mascara with ease instead of taking a wipe to your eyes and rubbing them until a few of your lashes fall out. A wooden kennel cover that you can place over your pup's crate and turn it into the entryway table that you've only dreamed of having because you've never had enough space. A hands-free pot stirrer that looks like it was invented in the future and was brought back here to be every busy person's savior. If you're making pasta or soup that requires a lot of "stir-age," just attach this gem to the side of the pot and let it do all the work for you — so you can catch up on all the TikTok DMs your friends have sent you. A Drop Stop (as seen on Shark Tank) because there is nothing more annoying than dropping your phone or keys into the abyss that is the gap next to your seat. Insert this into the gap for a snug fit — a simple yet genius idea. A foldable, slip-resistant "Sink Topper" if your sink is just, well, sink, and there's no space for anything else. Unfold this on top of the counter and you'll finally have that extra space for all your skincare and makeup products so you can get ready morning or night with ease. A magnetic towel so you don't have to leave your towel on the gym floor because who knows what's been festering on there. My guess? A whole lot of random people's sweat — yuck. You can just stick this to any magnetic surface or use the included clip it to attach it to your bag. An in-flight foot hammock because as much as we want to be in first class *sighs*, it's just not in our budget, but this is! This will give your economy seat a little more pizzazz because you'll be able to rest your feet instead of awkwardly trying to place them around your personal bag — the struggle is real. A WD-40 pen (why did I just discover this!?) so when your door hinge is making that squeaking sound that's borderline ~horror-movie eerie~, you can just go at it with the precise pen tip instead of bringing out that big ol' can of regular WD-40. No more squeaking or rusting here! A Shark Tank-famous Lion Latch travel jewelry case that you can clip onto your keys, water bottle, or backpack so you'll never lose your family heirloom ring. The lid is locked in place and can't be opened unless the carabiner is taken off! So the next time you're taking a dive into the ocean, just put all your jewelry here so it doesn't get lost in the sand. A kids art frame because your refrigerator literally has no more space to hang up your kiddo's drawings. You'll be able to show off their best piece *and* you'll never have to throw any others away because you can store them in the back of the frame. You'll never feel guilty again when your young one hands you a quite abstract family portrait and you have no idea what to do with it. A standing weeder so you don't have to hunch over in your garden for hours trying to yank out those stubborn weeds. Just dig this tool straight into whatever you want to remove and the three steel claws will grip the roots so you can easily pull them out! A pair of specially designed Wrist Buddy contoured yoga blocks if the reason you can't plank for over a minute is NOT 'cause of your lack of core strength but because your arms are in such a strained position. These blocks come with contoured molds for your hands to you can workout comfortably with a lot less pressure on your wrists. A popular, long-lasting eyeliner stamp because if you're like me and have to redo your wing a bajillion times, this is SO worth it. With this stamp you won't waste any eyeliner — all it takes is one stamp and DONE!

This is the best U.S. airline, according to real flyers — so posh, it feels like flying private
If you're over long TSA lines, crowded gates, and being squished into a middle seat, travelers just crowned a surprising alternative as the best domestic airline in the country — again. In the just-released 2025 Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards, readers voted JSX the No. 1 domestic air carrier in the U.S. for the second year in a row. The annual list is based on thousands of reader-submitted survey responses and includes rankings for airlines, hotels, destinations, and more — all from people who actually travel frequently and care about comfort, convenience, and experience. As a travel writer who flies constantly — for work, leisure, and most often a blend of both — I can say from firsthand experience: JSX is my very favorite airline, and always my go-to choice domestically if I have an option. I've flown with the carrier regularly for years (since the brand went by the name JetSuiteX) and every time I do, I find myself wondering why all air travel can't feel this easy. Unlike traditional commercial airlines, JSX operates as a 'hop-on' public charter service, offering a semi-private flying experience from private terminals. That means I can skip the chaos of major airports — showing up just 20 minutes before takeoff, breezing through security, and boarding a crowd-free jet with just 30 seats (and no middle seats, ever). Here's what else sets JSX apart — and why travelers are obsessed: Business-class legroom for everyone, not just the front row Free high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi that is ultra-reliable Complimentary snacks and cocktails Two free checked bags (even if one's a golf bag or snowboard) Fast planeside baggage retrieval within minutes of landing JSX connects 28 destinations including Las Vegas, Burbank, Orange County, Dallas, Salt Lake City, Scottsdale, Napa, and Taos, with service continuing to expand across the western U.S. and into Mexico. By flying in and out of smaller airports, JSX cuts down on traffic, stress, and wasted time — making it my go-to option whenever there's a route match. (Usually for me, that means between Los Angeles or Burbank and Las Vegas, my second home for both work and play.) Technically, JSX isn't considered a standard commercial airline — it operates as a public charter carrier — but that hasn't stopped it from racking up major industry awards. In addition to back-to-back Travel + Leisure wins, JSX also earned a 2025 APEX Five-Star Regional Airline rating (its fourth straight year) and was named Best Regional Airline in North America. It's not your typical flight, and that's exactly why I — and so many others, as proven by this big win — love it.

30 Easy Tips That'll Make You Feel More Put-Together
First up is wake up. Our least favorite task of the day, but let me put you onto my new fave life hack: The Hatch Restore 3. (Mine is in the new rosey color!) Yes, yes, you've seen them around but if you haven't woken up with it, you don't know what you're missing: Gentle light, ambient soundscapes you get to handpick yourself... Trust me. This will be your new fave roommate because you'll actually enjoy waking up which I think has decreased my under-eye dark circles by roughly 700%. (Because. girl math.) Promising review: "After struggling with both falling asleep and waking up for years, my wife and I decided to invest in the Hatch Restore 3. After using it for a couple of weeks now, I can confidently say this device has transformed our sleep routine positively and we wish we would have started using this a lot sooner instead of simply using our iPhones as alarm clocks. Our favorite features are the 'Light Rain' and 'Ocean Waves' settings, which we both love and help us quickly fall asleep. We love the look as it features a sleek, modern design that perfectly matches our bedroom decor. The quality matches the price point as it feels and looks like a premium, high-quality device and has great sound quality. It's very user-friendly and simple to use without the need for a phone, allowing us to manage our sleep routine directly from the device and reduce our screen time right before bed. Another great feature is the sunrise alarm which gradually brightens our room, mimicking a natural sunrise and allowing us to feel more refreshed and less startled." —Ali PGet it from Amazon for $169.99 (available in six colors). If you're tired of despairing over how to get dressed for work in the morning, let me introduce you to your new bestie wide-leg trouser: Professional, sleek, chic, and the kind of comfy that means you can bend over to fix that dang paper jam again without accidentally cutting yourself in half. Promising reviews: "These have been my go-to pants since I received them! They look quite chic and tasteful. Love." —Vignesh n. "I wear these for work at least once every other week. They are a professional staple." —Courtney TraceGet them from Amazon for $28.50+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL, in long and short lengths, and in seven colors). As for your mane, sometimes you just gotta skip the shower to catch some more zzzs. We've all been there, and that's why there's I Dew Care dry shampoo to make the greasy bits go bye-bye and take your hair from oily to fluffy in a jiffy! Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA, and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —TeresaGet it from Amazon for $18. Grab yourself a cropped tank you can pair with your trousers or just to supplement your perfect travel-capsule wardrobe for all the adventures you've got planned this year. Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy it. I bought it in one color and as soon as I tried it on I purchased three more. The material is like butter. It doesn't have a built-in bra, but it's lined. You could put on a bra with this if you'd like but there's no need. It's cropped but still long enough that it doesn't roll up weirdly at the bottom. Can dress this up or down! I'll probably end up buying every color by the end of the year, it's just that incredible." —DanijtateGet it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 32 colors). Always thirsty but can't find the motivation to drink H2O? Add some Cure Hydration electrolyte drink mix in truly delicious flavors to your cart if you are always forgetting to hydrate yourself on your adventures. These will help make drinking water ~delicious~ and help keep you guzzlin' if you usually forget. FYI, water may be enough to rehydrate you, depending on your situation! Read more about electrolyte-enhanced drinks and hydration at Cleveland Clinic. These are genuinely my most FAVORITE electrolyte blends. The flavors are great and don't have that gritty taste other brands have. (They are also available in individual packets for on-the-go convenience!)Promising review: "I've been using Cure hydration for a couple of years now, and I can't recommend them enough! I buy them monthly and love how they keep me and my family hydrated without any added sugar. The flavors are refreshing, and they mix easily in water. Perfect for workouts or just staying hydrated throughout the day. A game changer for my routine!" —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $38.24 (available in six flavors). Throw a gel lint roller in your bag so you don't turn up to brunch/work/life with pet hair all over your OOTD. This also basically turns you into a hair-vanishing magician while you roll it all over your body, too, which is a plus. Sleep with a heatless curl headband so you can greet the sun with perfect Disney-princess waves right out of bed. No tools required, so you also don't have to panic about having left your curling iron on all day while you're working. Promising review: "This product is so amazing I bought one for all the people in my family! You clip the soft roll onto the top of your head and then continue to wrap strands of damp hair in a spiral formation, wrapping away from your face. Secure the bottoms with soft scrunchies and you'll have gorgeous curls for days, LITERALLY. Takes a whopping five minutes if you have thick hair. Sleep with it overnight (not uncomfortable at all), and your curls will actually last for days. So simple, so awesome, so much time saved. Can't recommend enough!" —KaitlinGet it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in seven colors). Grab a versatile as heck maxi button-up that'll ensure you look your best, no matter where you've got to be. Wear it to the beach as a swimsuit coverup, to dinner with some heels, to brunch with wedges... you name it, this button-up is HERE FOR YOU. Promising review: "I love this dress! This dress is so easy to throw on and go. It's been a summer of extreme heat in Texas and the material of this dress makes it bearable. So simple to throw on to run to the store or any errands. Much more comfortable than shorts. Plus, you'll look more put together." —MEGet it from Amazon for $33.04+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 24 colors). Kick plucking and expensive salon appointments to the curb with a Schick dermaplaning razor that'll get your brows in order by getting rid of stray hairs and exfoliating the skin beneath.

And really slay that brow game by topping off your efforts with some Elizabeth Mott brow gel that will hold your brows in place, give them a bit of color to give them a thicker appearance, and all without you having to watch 100 videos on how to perfect your eyebrow shape. This perfects what you already have, no makeup expertise required! Promising review: "So incredibly happy with this. It's incredibly easy to apply (I have to really wipe my wand first, though, or else it's too thick) and the color blends in SO well with my natural color. It gives my eyebrows JUST the right amount of attention; not too much, not too little. Just killer, natural, beautiful brows!" —Monique FrenchGet it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in six shades). If you spend more time grumbling about the world's largest cable knot you're growing in your bag than actually using your cords, do yourself the favor of snagging some cable ties to clean up that situation. These cable ties are also great for when you're NOT traveling! See below. Promising review: "This is a must for business travelers. I travel a great deal so not only do I have to carry so many electronics and associated accessories, but I need them to be as compact as possible." —JTNGet a pack of 20 from Amazon for $6.99.

Break large and daunting tasks into smaller bits with a visual timer. That way you can ~see~ just how much you can get done in a quick 15-minute cleaning session. I've used one of these for LITERAL YEARS because it turns out that gamifying my tasks actually works and I get a lot more done and am a lot happier for it. (BRB, gotta set it for ten minutes to empty the dishwasher and reload it again.) Promising review: "Great little analog timer. It shows graphically how much time is left, and you can choose whether or not it beeps at the end via a button on the back. The timer starts as soon as you move the pointer, and you can time up to an hour. Not a good timer if you're looking for seconds, but I use it for blocks of time, 3 or 5 minutes until I do this, or 15 minutes of that, type of thing. Very pleased with this timer, it has been exactly what my ADD brain needs." —Peter NeevesGet it from Amazon for $16.94+ (available in two colors). Finally accomplish that perfect TikTok bun with some Goody spin hair pins: One spiral pin does the work of 20 traditional pins. Yep, you read that right. Less sticks in your hair and floating around on your counter? Look how put-together you already are! Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. With these, I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke, so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust me... anyone can." —Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.95. If you love a clean shower but hate to clean your shower, a bottle of Wet & Forget cleaner is the answer. Spray it once a week, skip the rinsing, and bid a not-so-fond farewell to the mold and mildew that tries to take up residence in your self-care haven. Promising review: "This stuff is excellent. It performs as promised, it has a very nice scent, no fumes, and leaves the shower clean with no scrubbing actually necessary. It is very easy to apply and rinse off. It is designed very well, with a squirting spout separate from the large container and attached by a long-ish tube, so you don't have to hold the heavy container while applying the product. I've been using it for a while now and love it. I highly recommend it." —Stephanie MartinGet it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two scents). Go minimalist on your morning routine by combining your primer and your sunscreen in one easy step. Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF40 is made with sea lavender, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin B5 to give you that glow-from-within sheen while also nourishing your skin and protecting it from the rude sun rays. Promising review: "I love this stuff! It was recommended to me in a Facebook group when I asked for a one-and-done face cream for someone who doesn't really wear makeup. I wanted dewy, I wanted some light refraction, I wanted sun protection, and I didn't want heavy color. This is all those things. It works really well in the Florida sun. I'm covered in freckles, and it doesn't dull or smudge them, it just brightens everything. I don't wear face makeup, other than the occasional swipe of bronzer, and this works great with that. Love it, love it, love it." —KristenBGet it from Amazon for $22+ (available in four shades and three sizes/quantities).

Happy with this purchase." —Anna Young Get them from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in different colors and sizes). To learn more, check out "12 Ways To Make Healthy Smoothies."

To learn more, check out "29 Fitness Products That'll Save You Some Money In The Long Run Because You'll Get To Ditch That Expensive Gym Membership". Promising review: "This hoop is GREAT! It is just so much fun to exercise with this thing. I play music and try to dance too lol. But I have experience, they used to have a weighted hoop in the gym I went to and I did it all the time. Highly recommend. You just need to make sure it's clicked together correctly or it'll come undone! Don't worry if it happens to you, though, it's totally fixable. It happened to me I think twice before I got it down. Anyway, if you're looking for a weighted hoop, look no more!" —MollsGet it from Amazon for $39.49.

Get rid of brassiness with internet-famous Fanola purple shampoo, which uses a violet pigment to banish unwanted yellow streaks in your tresses and allows you to go as long as possible between expensive salon visits. (Which also take up precious time, so this really is a lifesaver and a piggy bank saver!) Use this once a week (for about three minutes) to prevent your hair from turning slightly lavender. Promising review: "Finally! A purple shampoo that actually does something to my brassy hair! I have silver-white hair that is exceptionally hard to maintain due to how easily my hair picks up brassy tones and how stubborn they are to remove. I've tried a ton of other brands, and none of their toning shampoos will do a damn thing to my hair even if I leave them on for an hour. It's nice to not have to schedule a chunk of time to mix a batch of custom toner, painstakingly apply it, and then sit around for an hour while it does its thing. This shampoo actually works really well and can cut a lot of time out of my bi-weekly color maintenance." —AudreyGet it from Amazon for $12.25.

The biggest snubs and surprises of the 2025 Emmy nominations
Emmy nominations arrived Tuesday morning, and if you made the list, it's a 'White Lotus' Full Moon Party vibe, full of celebratory cheers, toasts with your beverage of choice (it's still early, maybe some of that Thai Red Bull?) and techno music playing loud enough to have Interpol banging on your door. And if you didn't hear your name called, well, you're feeling like poor Pornchai watching Belinda sail away into the sunset. Or maybe you're like Saxon, compartmentalizing the whole thing, pretending it never happened. We feel you. With Emmy submissions down this year, there aren't as many slots available to salute all the worthy work, leading to some sad omissions — which, for the sake of alliteration and search engine optimization, we'll call 'snubs.' There were also some surprises, some worthy, some about as welcome as one of those poison piña coladas Jason Isaacs blended up in the 'White Lotus' finale. Grab something to eat (maybe an item from the Old School Hollywood buffet table) while we run down the morning's notables. SNUB: 'The Four Seasons' (comedy series) You kind of hated these wealthy, entitled boneheads, and not in ways that were intended or even fun. SNUB: Colman Domingo, 'The Four Seasons' (comedy actor) You know it's bad when even Domingo can't snag a nom. SNUB: Natasha Lyonne, 'Poker Face' (comedy actress)To quote Lyonne's human lie-detector Charlie Cale, that's 'bulls—.' SNUB: 'The Rehearsal' (comedy series) How could a show about airline safety produce more laugh-out-loud moments than any other comedy series this year? How could a show so funny, insightful and, yes, occasionally terrifying not be nominated for comedy series? (Also, and not completely unrelated: How could it take this long for the TSA to let us keep our shoes on?) SNUB: Selena Gomez, 'Only Murders in the Building' (comedy actress) Gomez earned her first Emmy acting nomination last year, but with the category trimmed to five nominees from six, something had to give. Detractors fault her flat, monotone delivery, though if you're acting opposite Martin Short and Steve Martin, you need to find your own lane. Arguably, Gomez has. Look for that debate to continue next year when the show returns for a fifth season. SNUB: Kate Hudson, 'Running Point' (comedy actress) The Lakers can't win anywhere, can they? SNUB: Bridget Everett, 'Somebody Somewhere' (comedy actress) Somebody, somewhere voted for Everett, so tender and vulnerable and utterly charming on this now-ended HBO series, one that seems destined for a long life of cult appreciation along the lines of 'Enlightened,' created by (yes) Mike White. SURPRISE: Kristen Bell, 'Nobody Wants This' (comedy actress) Not a surprise that's she's nominated — everyone watched this show in one sitting. But a surprise that this is her first nomination ever. Well-earned, even if I'm not convinced Adam Brody's rabbi would throw everything away for her character. SNUB: Steve Martin, 'Only Murders in the Building' (comedy actor) How do you nominate Martin Short and not Steve Martin? Big always wins over subtle. You have to wonder if voters forgot, or didn't watch, the show's last season — it has been awhile — which had Martin carrying the plot's emotional weight as his character grieved the loss of longtime stunt double and friend, Sazz (played by Jane Lynch). SURPRISE: 'Paradise' (drama series) The dystopian drama that asked the question, 'Would you want to be trapped in an underground bunker with the likes of these people?' I can't think of anything more frightening and enough Emmy voters agreed. SNUB: 'Your Friends and Neighbors' (limited series) As the Jon Hamm series went along, it felt more like a Patek Philippe ad than any kind of comment on the empty lives of the wealthy. (Are there not any rich people out there leading fulfilling lives?) By the end of its run, we were checking our watches, and voters didn't give it the time of day. (Sorry.) SNUB: 'Disclaimer' (limited series) What a disappointment. Alfonso Cuarón's highly anticipated seven-chapter psychological thriller premiered at the Venice Film Festival last August, screening four episodes over two nights. It then went to Telluride, Toronto and London. It was an event ... until people saw it and were left baffled. How could the filmmaker behind 'Children of Men,' 'Gravity' and 'Y tu mamá también' make something so dull that few people could to finish it? SNUB: Renée Zellweger, 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' (limited series/movie actress) When 'Love Island' defines romantic-comedy for a lot of people, she didn't stand a chance.

Liberty Defense's NextGen Security Takes Off at Palm Springs International Airport
Palm Springs International Airport Deploys Liberty's HEXWAVE to meet new TSA employee screening requirements and make air travel safer WILMINGTON, Mass., July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. ("Liberty" or the "Company") (TSXV: SCAN, OTCQB: LDDFF, FRANKFURT: LD2A), a leading technology provider of AI-based next generation detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, today announced the launch of its next-generation HEXWAVE system at the Palm Spring International Airport (PSP) to screen aviation workers for metallic and non-metallic threats. This technology satisfies a new TSA mandate on airport employee screening. PSP and Liberty Defense are raising the bar for aviation security as this new requirement comes closer to becoming mandatory for approximately 175 U.S. airports. The TSA mandate (TSA-NA-32-02), introduced in 2023 and set to be fully enforced by April 2026, requires U.S. airports to implement employee screening procedures capable of detecting explosive threats for employees accessing secure areas. PSP selected Liberty's HEXWAVE system in January 2025 as the airport continues to lead the industry in meeting this important federal security directive. HEXWAVE is deployed with the help of Veterans High Risk Security Solutions, a California Certified small business that is Veteran owned and operated. "Launching at Palm Springs International Airport is a significant milestone for Liberty as demand grows for proactive, AI-driven security screening solutions," said Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense. "This partnership highlights the critical importance of advanced threat detection in today's evolving security landscape. By deploying HEXWAVE, PSP will more than satisfy the TSA's mandate and set a new standard for how airports protect employees with minimal disruption to operations and employees' work routines." HEXWAVE, made in the USA, uses proprietary AI and 3D-radar imaging to detect concealed metallic and non-metallic threats, including liquid, powder, and plastic explosives, 3D-printed "ghost guns," and other non-traditional weapons that conventional metal detectors often miss. The system delivers fast, contactless, high-throughput screening through a walkthrough portal – no stopping for individuals being screened -- minimizing disruption while maximizing security. To protect privacy, HEXWAVE does not save images and security personnel see only a generic silhouette with possible threat areas identified. "Airports are on the front lines of US national security and the safety of our people in a constantly evolving security environment where insider risks are among the most challenging threats," said Bryan Cunningham, President of Liberty Defense, global security expert, and former White House lawyer and CIA Officer. "With HEXWAVE, PSP adds a cutting-edge layer of protection to safeguard both employees and travelers. This isn't just about a mandate, it's about setting a new benchmark for employee and passenger security, employee convenience, and operational effectiveness. Whomever the bad actors and whatever the attack vectors, HEXWAVE, with our constantly updated AI analytics, is the last line of defense against today's threats and is 'future proofed' against current and emerging security risks of all kinds." For PSP, the decision to move early on the TSA requirements reflects the airport's broader commitment to innovation and safety. "Palm Springs Airport prides itself on being on the leading-edge for security and technology and is excited to be going live with HEXWAVE's advanced screening technology," said Harry Barrett, Executive Director at Palm Springs International Airport. "This partnership allows us to lead by example, both meeting the new TSA mandate and significantly enhancing the safety and security of our team and the traveling public." Liberty Defense continues to work with airports, stadiums, government facilities, religious, educational, and other public gathering spaces and critical infrastructure sites across North America and abroad to modernize screening processes and address rapidly evolving security threats.
