A hot dog Reuben is the deli classic you didn’t expect to make in an air fryer
Here’s a whimsical take on a classic deli sandwich, made with hot dogs rather than the more standard corned beef, from our cookbook “The Instant Air Fryer Bible.” Any hot dog will do — beef, pork, turkey even vegan hot dogs — although the best results are had with more standard, backyard-barbecue dogs, rather than […]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. | For a few years at the turn of this century, Nashville was home to a remarkable carousel. Described by its artist-creator Red Grooms as a sculpto-pictorama, the “horses” were 36 whimsical figures related to Tennessee. Legendary country musician Chet Atkins rode the neck of a guitar.

Movie Review: Supergirl is a blast, but the movie doesn’t match her punk-rock spirit
Last year’s “Superman” ended with Iggy Pop singing “Because I’m a punk rocker, yes I am” — an ironic coda for a superlatively square hero. But it rings straightforwardly true for Superman’s cousin. Milly Alcock’s Kara Zor-El, or Supergirl, sports not a spandex suit but a Blondie T-shirt. When we meet her in Craig Gillespie’s […]
Movie Review: ‘Minions & Monsters’ is a very yellow mash note to Hollywood
Every once in a while, Hollywood gets high on its own supply and makes a love letter to moviemaking. It happened recently with Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” and George Clooney’s “Jay Kelly.” Now it’s time for the unlikeliest of love-letter writers: canary-yellow, gibberish-speaking, overall-wearing mini-monsters. “Minions & Monsters” — the third chapter in the ongoing […]
Nutrition apps can help build healthy habits. For some users, their gaming features carry risks
Green means go, red means stop. Trophies or confetti come with good performance, and people who fall behind get nudged to do better.

So it should come as no surprise that many nutrition-tracking apps […]

Grieving South Koreans seek comfort in AI videos of deceased loved ones
SEOUL, South Korea | When he wanted to give a gift to his father who sacrificed much to raise him as a single parent, Lee Geon Hui settled on an unusual idea: an AI-animated video message from his late grandfather, whom his father misses dearly.

Much more than a piece of furniture, the president’s Resolute Desk has echoed through history
WASHINGTON | Franklin D. Roosevelt toiled over paperwork there during World War II’s darkest days. George W. Bush sat behind it to address the nation on 9/11. Beneath it, John F. Kennedy Jr. once crawled and peeked out from behind its front panel while his father worked above, an image so etched into American history […]
