Between the Surface Duo, ZTE Axon 20, Galaxy Z Flip, and others, we’ve seen a lot of phones with unusual designs in 2020, but the new LG Wing might be the boldest and wackiest of them all.

How Can I Live a More Phone-Free Life?

It is the rare person who—logging off after a long day’s scrolling—thinks, “I need much more of that in my life.” Because the thing about the internet is, it’s awful.

Pennyworth‘s Second Season Will Feature Bruce Wayne, Uh, Kind Of

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that every Batman prequel will feature Bruce Wayne eventually. But it usually doesn’t occur like this. As revealed yesterday at DC Fandome, Pennyworth, a TV show that is getting a second season on Epix, a network I legitimately have no idea how to watch, will be progressing its Alfred-centric prequel…
