The very best online trivia games

Most of us like socialising – it’s good for us to be around other people, after all – but if you feel like our social battery isn’t what it used to be, don’t worry, you won’t be the only one.  Thankfully, we’ve got the perfect antidote to that dread you’re feeling about trekking out into the rain for the Wednesday night quiz: online trivia! There’s a tonne of sites out there with everything from general knowledge to the super-niche at the ready, so if a night curled up on the sofa sounds more like a bit of you, read on.

The best See’s Candies, ranked

The best See’s Candies, ranked

With a century of candymaking under its belt and a place in every chocolate-loving native Angeleno’s heart, See’s Candies is the confectionary of Southern California. At the holidays, in chocolate shops throughout the year and in LAX kiosks galore, that white-and-black box means just one thing: quality confections. Charles A. See and his mother, Mary—the adorable woman who’s served as the brand’s figurehead in that black-and-white photo for decades—never could have imagined that their company would become an icon of Los Angeles, even going so far as to set up shop within the TCL Chinese Theater (then still known as Grauman’s) in 1920s Hollywood. To taste See’s is to love it, and nearly everyone has a die-hard favorite flavor. To get to the bottom of the absolute top, we asked See’s to send and recommend their best—and believe us, there are dozens upon dozens of options—and in return, they sent us 28 varieties. Our editorial team tasted our way through them all, and maybe—maybe—had a little too much chocolate (and learned that yes, there is such a thing, but even when we didn’t love the flavor combinations, the See’s chocolate is always stellar quality). Here are our descriptions of each variety, along with in-the-moment reactions as we figured out which rules the See’s candy kingdom.

The 40 greatest summer songs of all time

Summer is finally upon us, and that means we finally get to stop listening to sad girl music and looking out at the rain (unless you’re based in the UK, that is).

The best online party games to play with friends for an epic night in

While plenty of us still love a good night out, a good night in is all the rage right now, and a game night is a go-to way to fill your evening that’s a little more sociable than just curling up in front of the TV until Netflix asks you if you’re still there.  And sure, game nights are great in person, but unlike a few years ago, you don’t need to be face to face with your mates to play a few rounds of whatever it is you want – online quizzes, remote versions of classic board games, drinking comps – and it’s all thanks to the internet. So, here’s a handy roundup of our favourite online party games. Time to roll the virtual dice!

The best Los Angeles movies of all time

The best Los Angeles movies of all time

Naturally, there are a lot of movies set in Los Angeles – it’s literally where American movies come from, after all. And yet, ‘LA movies’ seem less exalted than, say, New York movies or Paris movies. Maybe it’s because the city is harder to romanticise than other major cities, what with all the traffic, cosmetic tweakments and obsession with kale. Whatever the reason, it makes coming up with a list of truly great LA movies a tough task. But the great ones are really great. In terms of tone and subject matter, they’re as sprawling as the landscape itself, covering everything from showbiz dramas and inner-city thrillers to fizzy musical comedies and shadowy noirs. Here are our all-time favourites.

The best fast food restaurants in America

The best fast food restaurants in America

Fast food can get a bad rap. Sure, it's usually not the healthiest option for something to eat—but it's always there when you need it, like when you're on a road trip, are hungover, have a case of the late-night munchies or simply need food that's quick—and cheap.  And out of all the countries in the world, America has fast food on lock. We're home to the OGs like McDonald’s, Burger King and Taco Bell. But across the country, there is a slew of smaller-scale regional favorites, like Maid-Rite and Culver's in the Midwest, Zaxby's and Whataburger in the South, or In-N-Out in California. Then we have the higher class breed, like Burger haven Shake Shack. Out of the many fast-food chains, we've ranked our favorites—and called out the must-order dishes at each from the potato olés at Taco John's to the spicy chicken sandwich at Popeyes.

The 14 best R&B love songs of all time

The 14 best R&B love songs of all time

No genre knows love better than R&B. The Motown songbook alone contains enough lessons of the heart to fill several medical textbooks. Sure, many great soul songs are about the dark side of love – jealousy, betrayal, breakups, etc. But that’s not why you came to this list, is it?  It’s to find those songs that speak directly to the joy of being with someone else. Whether it’s innocent infatuation, all-consuming obsession or lustful intoxication, there’s an awesome jam out there to communicate exactly what you’re feeling. And not all of them are of the smooth, old-school variety either. Here, we’ve compiled the absolute best R&B love songs, and while you’ll find plenty of ‘60s classics, there are several modern, chart-busting pop bangers as well. So let’s get it on, shall we?

The 55 best workout songs to play at the gym

The 55 best workout songs to play at the gym

Alright: time to get physical and also musical. Contrary to what the very ripped personal trainer at the gym keeps screaming at you, sometimes the best motivation for working up a sweat isn’t the grunting encouragement of a stranger clutching a protein shake. Often, you just need the right song to get your blood pumping, your body moving and you mind in the zone. The perfect workout song is, to some extent, an elusive beast that heavily depends on what type of music you’re into: presumably there are people out there who work out to showtunes, and good for them. The unifying factor is enough energy to power the national grid, and a decently fast beat to help you keep the pace up. Beyond that, all bets are off,  To help you on your fitness journey, we tapped our stable of music geeks – some of which are in much better shape than others – to scour their knowledge of hip-hop, pop, classic rock and for 55 high-energy motivators. Some may seem like pretty leftfield choices, but all of them should get your pulse racing. Strap on the sweatband and get ready to move.  Written by Kristen Zwicker, Marley Lynch, Hank Shteamer, Gabrielle Bruney, Brent DiCrescenzo, Sophie Harris, Andy Kryza, Andrew Frisicano, Nick Leftley, Tim Lowery, Carla Sosenko, Kate Wertheimer, Steve Smith and Andrzej Łukowski.

The best new music that benefits Black Lives Matter, other worthy organizations

Over the past two weeks, artists of all stripes have taken to the streets, their studios, social media and elsewhere to fight the good fight. And musicians are no different, as a bunch of bands, singer-songwriters, rappers and others have recently released—and in some cases, created—music that benefits Black Lives Matter, bailout funds, Black LGBTQ+ rights organizations and a host of other admirable initiatives. We’ve compiled our favorite songs and albums that do just that below. If you'd like to do more, check out our primer on how to support racial equality wherever you are.

アメリカでの旅行、より安全な交通手段や宿泊施設はどれか

アメリカでの旅行、より安全な交通手段や宿泊施設はどれか

アメリカの一部の国立公園やビーチが再びオープンし、外出禁止令が緩和されている都市や州も増えてきている。そのため、「アメリカでの旅行は可能か?」「旅行しても大丈夫だろうか?」と、考えている人は多いだろう。 飛行機やレンタカー、Airbnb、ホテルの宿泊、電車などについての現状をまとめた。これらの旅のオプションをどう安全に利用すべきかについては、アメリカ疾病予防管理センター(CDC)のガイドラインを紹介しよう。また、アメリカを旅行するなら、どのオプションを利用しようが以下の対策はマストだ。 ・6フィート(約1.8メートル)の社会的距離を保つ・マスクや手袋を着用する・定期的に手を洗う・人が触れるような場所を適切に消毒する 言うまでもないが、われわれは医療の専門家ではない。以下の情報は、全員が安全についてできることを、知り得る限りで調べたものだ。各自でも気をつけながら旅行をしてほしい。   Photograph: Shutterstock   1.アメリカの国内線 利用は可能か アメリカ中で飛行機の利用は可能だ。コロナ禍で、多くの航空会社が以下のように運用を変更している。 ・搭乗開始前に、消毒剤をまく・HEPAフィルターを利用し、1時間に何十回も空気を循環させる・機内食や飲み物サービスの代わりとなる、飲食物の持ち込みを推奨する・客室乗務員全員のマスク着用を義務付ける※各航空会社のサイトで、利用条件を必ず確認すること 米国運輸保安局(TSA)は最近、空港での新しいガイドラインを発表した。CNBCが伝えたように、搭乗券は係員に手渡すのではなく、印刷したものやスマホで表示したものを自分でスキャンするようになる。さらに、マスク着用は必須で、空港内には手指消毒剤コーナーが設置される。消毒剤は機内への持ち込みも可能になる。現在のところ、連邦政府の指示による乗客の健康状態チェックは実施されていない。 利用するべきか どちらかといえば、「ノー」に近い。出発地と目的地がある州の最新の感染対策状況をCDCのサイトで事前にチェックして検討するべきだろう。さらに問題は、いったん機内へ乗り込んでしまうと、たとえより厳しいガイドラインが設定されていたとしても、他人と6フィートの距離を保つことが難しいとういうことだ。CDCは、「もしあなたやあなたの愛する人たちが、新型コロナによって重病になる可能性が高いのなら、家族を訪ねるための旅行は特に危険かもしれない」 と注意を促している。旅の計画を中止にするのであれば、アメリカ運輸省が設定している返金などの条件を確認するといいだろう。 2. Airbnb 利用は可能か 利用は可能だ。USAトゥデイによると、Airbnb社は任意の運営手順を発表した。それには適切なクリーニング方法や、次のレンタルまで最低24時間の間隔をとることなどを記載した40ページのマニュアルが含まれているという。 利用するべきか おそらく大丈夫だ。上記の運営手順は必須ではなく任意であり、注意を促しているのみだと認識しておくべきだろう。また、クリーニング用品を持参し、チェックイン後に手早く消毒することも検討する価値がある。予約する前に、出発地、滞在地における、最新の感染対策状況も確認しよう。最後に、個室やシェアルームではなく、「まるまる貸切」タイプの物件をレンタルすることを強くおすすめする。もちろん、他人との接触を極力減らすためだ。 3. ホテル 利用は可能か 多くのホテルが営業している。CNNによると、静電スプレー機による消毒、静電気を利用したスプレー式の掃除機や、非

Parks and Recreation returns with a new episode next week

Parks and Recreation bid adieu to viewers five years back after seven glorious seasons, so imagine our delight and surprise when we came across this tweet from Adam Scott just a bit ago:   New Parks episode in one week! Can’t wait for everyone to see it... https://t.co/4yK66hZVzr — Adam Scott (@mradamscott) April 23, 2020 That's right: The goings on of Pawnee, Indiana will continue to, erm, go on—at least for one night. The episode airs next Thursday, April 30 at 8:30pm ET on NBC and benefits Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund. As Deadline points out, the timely scripted ep follows Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) as she tries to keep in touch with the gang virtually, and the cast (Poehler and Scott, as well as Rashida Jones, Chris Pratt, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Aziz Ansari, Rob Lowe, Jim O’Heir and Retta) is all onboard.  Here's what Parks co-creator Michael Schur had to say about it: "I sent a hopeful email to the cast, and they all got back to me within 45 minutes. Our old Parks and Rec team has put together one more 30-minute slice of (quarantined) Pawnee life, and we hope everyone enjoys it."   We're sure we will.

Next Sunday, catch Kesha, Adam Lambert, Sharon Stone and others in GLAAD's live-streaming benefit

What are you plans next Sunday evening? Nothing, you say? Funny, same here. If you're looking to cap of your weekend by checking out a star-studded event that donates to a very worthy cause, consider tuning in to Together in Pride: You Are Not Alone, which live-streams on YouTube on Sunday, April 26 at 8pm ET. The night boasts performances by the likes of Kesha and Melissa Etheridge and drop-ins by Time Out New York cover stars Matt Bomer and Billy Eichner, as well as Adam Lambert, Sharon Stone, Dan Levy, Sean Hayes, Lilly Singh and Bebe Rexha, among many others.   The shindig hopes to bring awareness to the LGBTQ community's struggles during this difficult time, and donations from the live-stream go towards CenterLink LGBTQ centers. Here's what GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis has to say on the event: “At a time when some LGBTQ people could be isolating in homes that are not affirming, GLAAD is bringing together the biggest LGBTQ stars and allies to send messages of love, support and acceptance. So many LGBTQ people, especially our youth, depend on support from local community centers around the country, and during this time of financial distress, we must come together as a community to ensure that all LGBTQ organizations can continue their life-saving work.” Looking for more live-streamed entertainment?

Radiohead are streaming a new concert film every week

Radiohead have announced yet another new way to rock out from the comfort and safety of your couch. Starting Thursday, April 9 – that's today – at 10pm BST, the iconic outfit will unveil a concert from its archives on its YouTube channel and continue to do so each week for the foreseeable future. First up? ‘Live from a Tent in Dublin’ from October 2000, which, as Pitchfork points out, happened less than a week after the band dropped its game-changing opus ‘Kid A’. (I was lucky enough to catch Radiohead the following summer in Chicago and can say with supreme – okay, with my – authority that the band's rendition of 'The National Anthem' during that time alone makes this worth checking out.) Here's a bit of the band's statement on the news:  "Now that you have no choice whether or not you fancy a quiet night in, we hereby present the first of several LIVE SHOWS from the Radiohead Public Library. [W]e will be releasing one a week until either the restrictions resulting from current situation are eased, or we run out of shows. Which will be first? No one knows."  No, no one does. But be sure to tune in tonight. Check out the gig below from 10pm BST (5pm EDT, 8am AEDT): Need more fun things to do at home?

Fenway Park's organist is playing live-streamed sets every day

Baseball season might be up in the air at the moment, but that hasn't stopped Fenway Park's organist from tickling the ivories to keep the vibes of America's pastime going. According to NPR, Josh Kantor plays a 30-minute set each day from his home in Cambridge. The gigs go down daily at 3pm ET, and you can tun in via Kantor's Facebook page, 7th-Inning Stretch. What's more, he's taking requests—yesterday, he tackled tracks by Smokey Robinson, REM and Bob Marley, among others, all with a distinctly I-feel-like-I'm-at-the-ballpark aesthetic—and politely asks that you donate to food banks during each live-stream. He also tells the non-profit he's "committed to doing it every single day (what's a weekend?) until people get sick of it or until baseball starts up."    So be sure to nab a cold one, a hotdog and some delivered-to-your-door box of Cracker Jack and take in the tunes. Searching for more sweet virtual gigs to duck into? We're regularly updating our rundown of the best live-streamed concerts and DJ nights happening throughout the world.

Ask Rick from 'Tiger King' your burning questions on Saturday

Rick Kirkham, that ever-puffing-away TV producer who's featured throughout this little-known Netflix docuseries called 'Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness,' is getting in on the live-streaming action. (We're obviously kidding about that little-known stuff: The hit series has seemingly been seen by everyone at this point. There's even talk of a bonus episode, and we've compiled these life lessons we learned and cooked up a guide to what to watch after plowing through the show.) Anyway. Kirkham, who lived at the G.W. Zoo for a year while filming a reality show on 'Tiger' star Joe Exotic, plans to share unseen footage and answer fans' queries on Saturday, April 11 at 7pm BST over at allthingslive.inplayer.com. Per the press release, "viewers can submit questions for Kirkham by posting a video on Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #AskTigerRick, or by sending an email to asktigerrick@allthingslive.com." Kirkham apparently has a lot to say, as evidenced by these quoted nuggets from said press release: "Joe was terrified of big cats, and he had plans to release all the animals on the park if someone tried to shut his zoo down. He wanted as many people to be injured as possible if they tried to take his zoo away." Then there's this: "[Joe] acted as a doctor to those of us in the park, giving injections and medications (meant for animals) to us when we were sick." And lastly, um, this: "Joe had an odd relationship and fascination with female porn stars."   Enjoy.  Looking for

Delta announces no-fee rebookings through 2022

Do you have a Delta Air Lines flight booked for April or May and now, understandably, have to scrap your plans? USA Today reports that if you secured your flight by today—that's April 3, you guys—you are eligible to change your flight, sans any rescheduling fee, to anytime through May 31, 2022. That deal also extends to those with "existing eCredits or canceled travel from flights in March, April or May 2020," according to Delta's latest travel policy. And if purchased tix outside that window, note the following: "Tickets purchased between March 1 and May 31, 2020, can be changed without a change fee for up to a year from the date you purchased it." (That latter one-year flexibility policy is what most airlines are sticking to for the time being.)    About that two-year deal though: It's great news for travelers, and hopefully other airlines follow suit. (Not to make this about me, but, um, I'm going to: I recently had to cancel my trip to SXSW in Austin. The airline, which I will not name here, did call me back about rescheduling, albeit days after takeoff. Again, understandable. And it's a minor complaint. But it was…frustrating.)    Searching for some at-home entertainment before your next trip? Of course you are. We've got you covered with online party games you can play remotely with friends, streaming recs for Tiger King obsessives, a how-to on signing up for Yale's super-popular happiness course and digital jigsaw puzzles.

John Mulaney and Nick Kroll's Oh, Hello podcast says (oh) hello to the world tomorrow

In 2016, we had the pleasure—nay, honor—of having Gil Faizon (played by Nick Kroll) and George St. Geegland (John Mulaney) grace the cover of Time Out New York. (That's a shot from our walk around the Lower East Side with the guys above, just before they complained a lot, then listed their favorite places in NYC.) Back then, the New York curmudgeons were about to bring Oh, Hello to Broadway. Today, we learned that the pair have decided to step up—well, not up, exactly but step…somewhere?—to the world of podcasts. As New Yorkers, they're practicing social distancing and decided to cook up this pod. Here's a preview of the show, which is one of the funniest things we read all day:  "She was the People’s Princess, and they were two men who hung out at Duane Reade. But now worlds have collided. From the stars of Oh, Hello on Broadway and the video taped version of Oh, Hello on Broadway comes a podcast on the life and death of Princess Diana. "It's also a podcast on the life and loves of George St. Geegland (Oh, Hello on Broadway, TED Talk Submission) and Charmed I’m Sure Gil Faizon (Oh, Hello on Broadway, Nestle commercial web-only, can do French accent)."  You can subscribe to Oh, Hello: the P'dcast here and check out a teaser of the show below.

The convention was originally slotted to kick off July 13 and was expected to bring an estimated 50,000 out-of-towners to Milwaukee, many of them packing in the brand-new Fiserv Forum. (In fact, it was such a big deal that we created a nifty brewery crawl through the home of the 2020 DNC—the beloved metropolis we call Milwaukee is also known as Brew City—and hailed it as one of the most exciting things to do in the USA in 2020.)  Yesterday, Joe Biden told Jimmy Fallon, during a virtual interview for The Tonight Show, "I doubt whether the Democratic Convention is going to be able to be held in mid-July. I think it's going to have to move into August." And today, that gut feeling proved true, with convention CEO Joe Solmonese saying, "In our current climate of uncertainty, we believe the smartest approach is to take additional time to monitor how this situation unfolds so we can best position our party for a safe and successful convention." The delay in DNC festivities now puts it just a week before the Republican National Convention, which is still expected to happen the week of August 24 in Charlotte. Prepare—for now—to witness back-to-back conventions, and check out Biden's at-home Tonight Show interview below:
