I’ve spent months in the lab testing the latest AR glasses from Xreal and Viture. By “lab,” I mean cozied up on my couch each night, playing my Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch 2 on a huge, virtual screen that only I can see through these glasses.

Using AR glasses as a portable display for your handhelds (and other USB-C devices, like phones, tablets, and laptops) is nothing new. However

• The Hubble Space Telescope launched in 1990 and marks 36 years in space later this month.
• Each year, NASA shares a photo taken by Hubble to celebrate the space telescope's anniversary.
• The photos show dying stars, galaxies, and nebulae that are thousands of light-years away.

Since it launched into space on April 24, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has been

• My dad worked a job he hated and planned to retire at 55.
• He died at 52, before he could enjoy the life he was saving for.
• That changed how I live — I stopped waiting and started taking risks.

The image of my father that lives most clearly in my memory is this: a man in a suit, on a train platform, me, a child in my PJs, staring out the windows of our

• I moved from Mexico to New York and then to London, leaving my parents behind.
• While abroad, my relationship with my parents became more intentional.

"This looks like AI."

It's a phrase I dread seeing as a writer who dabbles in illustration and amateur photography. In a world where generative AI technology is increasingly adept at mimicking the work of humans, people are naturally skeptical when online platforms refuse to label even obvious AI content.

This leads me to one conclusion: maybe we should start labeling human-made text

• Zendaya is a certified style icon both on the red carpet and off.
• Her fashion is often daring, feminine, and fashion-forward.
• The Emmy-winning actor gravitates toward sheer dresses and historical fashion pieces.

No one does fashion quite like Zendaya.

The 29-year-old actor has been making showstopping appearances on red carpets

• Recently, my girlfriend and I spent 92 hours on Amtrak's Sunset Limited in a roomette.
• It was hard to sleep on the long train ride and the train's motion felt overwhelming at times.
• However, we really enjoyed the food and views. I'd definitely take this ride again.

• When my son was born, my focus shifted away from the hobbies that defined me.
• My postpartum depression treatment plan consisted of an SSRI, therapy, and sharing my feelings.
• I've recovered from PPD and cherish the love and connection I share with my son.

For six glorious weeks before our son arrived, I relished the delicious pleasure

• I love the quirk and nostalgia of Route 66, also known as the Mother Road.
• I was surprised by wild burros, an ancient civilization, and a live streamed steak-eating contest.
• I'd recommend that all drivers stop in Pontiac, Illinois, and Oatman, Arizona.

Super Meat Boy 3D has much of the same spirit; it's just as
