"Cheers to whoever thought up the Drinking Jacket ($95)," said Robert Annis at Outside. Made for those who can't separate themselves from alcohol even while engaging in outdoor activities, this product looks like a nice, normal winter coat, "but it's actually a mobile bar." Hidden features include a neoprene-lined breast pocket for keeping bottles or cans cold, a bottle-opener zipper, a flask pocket, and built-in drinking mitts with slip-resistant grips. The jacket even has an ID tag sewn in ... Читать дальше...

Just because you heard it on TV doesn't mean it's true — and that's especially the case during debates, when candidates are vying to look better than their competition, even if it means compromising some truths. Ted Cruz in particular had a few glaring slip-ups Thursday night. Below, a look at some of his biggest debunkings.

Harrowing news, everybody: Jack Bauer won't be around to save the world anymore. Following the success of 2014's limited series 24: Live Another Day, which saw Kiefer Sutherland return as 24's tough-as-nails protagonist, Fox has announced a quasi-reboot of the franchise that will continue the story without Jack Bauer — or any of the other characters from the original series.

Actor Sean Penn stunned just about everyone by publishing an interview with notorious Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman in Rolling Stone last Saturday — but now Penn says his controversial article has "failed." Speaking with CBS host Charlie Rose for an interview to be broadcast Sunday on 60 Minutes, Penn said he has "a terrible regret" that El Chapo's capture last Friday after six months on the run distracted from his article.

Mexican chain Chipotle will close its over 19,000 restaurants nationwide on Feb. 8 for a few hours for a company-wide food safety meeting. The move comes after the company was forced to shut down clusters of restaurants after outbreaks of E.coli, Salmonella, and norovius sickened customers. The meeting will give employees an opportunity to discuss changes and ask questions, Chipotle said.

Everything about the Fuller House trailer is designed to make you feel misplaced nostalgia for a sitcom that we suspect was never all that great in the first place. Of course, true Full House fans can spot all the things missing from this 14-second clip of Netflix's not-quite-a-reunion series. Where's Michelle? (Too busy with a fashion career, apparently.) Where are the Beach Boys, who memorably showed up to perform "Kokomo"? Where's that omnipresent laughs-and-awws-track?

On Tuesday, two U.S. naval vessels were detained by Iran for trespassing in Iranian territorial waters. The original story from the U.S. government suggested that there had been a mechanical failure on one of the boats and, in the words of Joe Biden, it had then "drifted into Iranian waters," where it was detained.

States should reduce the legal blood alcohol limit for driving from 0.08 percent to 0.05 percent or lower, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said in its "Most Wanted List" of policy changes released this week.

Donald Trump isn't always a winner; last year, he was only the second most talked about topic on evening newscasts, according to news analyst Andrew Tyndall. After analyzing broadcasts by ABC, NBC, and CBS News, Tyndall found that the stations spent a total of 327 minutes covering Trump — and 377 minutes covering "winter storms."

Speaking at a closed-door breakfast at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting, Virgin Islands representative Holland Redfield vigorously urged his colleagues to confront the risk candidates like Donald Trump pose to the GOP's future. Though the committeeman did not explicitly name Trump, he began by alluding to Gov. Nikki Hayley's "angry" label for the Republican frontrunner.

The Georgia Air Force is probably wishing they'd planned their "fun shoot" for any day but Monday: Officials had to pull posters and apologize after the public pointed out that an outing to the base's trap and skeet club was an uncomfortable way to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Every presidential campaign is a choice not just between two paths forward, but also two visions of where the country is right now. If things are going well, the incumbent party says, "You've never had it so good!" and the opposition says, "Things could be a whole lot better!" If things aren't going so well, the opposition says "Everything's terrible," and the incumbent party says, "Things could be a lot worse, and they will be if those knuckleheads win!" But it's hard to recall a campaign where... Читать дальше...

Last night's debate confirmed it: This is the Republicans' Year of Anger, for good and for ill.

You have to hand it to J.J. Abrams and his mystery box. Late last night, Twitter lit up with reports of a strange new trailer for a movie titled 10 Cloverfield Lane, which was playing before screenings of 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. Today, Paramount put the trailer online for your obsessive analysis:

One-time Republican presidential candidate and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham plans to endorse Jeb Bush for president, a spokesperson confirmed to CNN on Friday.

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump and his nearest rival, Sen. Ted Cruz clashed bitterly Thursday night. With Cruz surging in Iowa polls, Trump repeated his charge that the Texas senator might not be eligible for the White House because he was born in Canada. "Who the hell knows if you can even serve in office?" Trump said. Cruz mocked Trump for his "New York values." Other candidates focused their attacks on Hillary Clinton, criticizing the "Obama-Clinton" economy and foreign policy. Читать дальше...

I've been on the couch for nine years, more or less.

Well, not literally on the couch. I've never been in strict Freudian psychoanalysis, which to this day encourages patients to recline on a sofa faced away from the analyst in order to facilitate free association and the uninhibited exploration of emotions, dreams, fantasies, and fears.

Most of my experience with therapy has been with psychodynamic psychotherapists who've had psychoanalytic training but who tend to sit face-to-face with their patients... Читать дальше...

There's a scarily familiar question that's been itching the back of America's skull as of late: Namely, are we about to hit a recession? The data is in and the answer: Maybe?
