Michael Cohen's evidence against Trump is getting compared to those long-ass CVS receipts
After years and years in the spotlight, CVS receipts have finally met their match: Michael Cohen.
As Trump's former personal attorney testified against Donald Trump before Congress on Wednesday morning, the American people came to realize he had receipts for daaaaaaays.
Cohen presented a number of documents to Congress — including damning financial statements, news clippings, tweets, and more — Twitter users began to realize Cohen's receipts might rival the ridiculously long ones CVS gives its customers.

'8D audio' is a refreshing sonic experience that can transport you to another dimension
This post is part of Hard Refresh, a soothing weekly column where we try to cleanse your brain of whatever terrible thing you just witnessed on Twitter.
You've heard of 3D, and even 4D, but prepare yourself for 8D. Well, sort of.
If YouTube is your main source for music streaming then you may have seen something called "8D audio" in your suggestion bar.
8D audio is essentially an effect applied to a stereo track where songs have been edited with spacial reverb and mixing to make it seem like the audio moving in a circle around your head. This experience can only be achieved by wearing headphones, which the gimmick relies upon to create the illusion of a 360 degree space. Read more...

Facebook’s Patreon clone hits creators where it hurts: their wallet
Imitation is the sincerest form of petty theft.
Facebook invited some page owners to try out its Fan Subscription service Monday night, a new feature that directly competes with Patreon. But the terms of the agreement and Facebook's history with page owners have caused many to scoff at and shirk the offer.
Namely, page owners report that the terms of the service enable Facebook to take up to a 30 percent cut of subscriptions. That's in comparison to Patreon's 10 percent, 5 percent of which go to fees and processing, and the other 5 percent that Patreon keeps. Read more...

The 9 best air fryers in the UK: Make fried food without all the guilt
We're calling it now: Air fryers are the Instant Pot of 2019.
We're always on the lookout for new kitchen gadgets that will make cooking easier and more fun — so it would be an understatement to say we were pumped when we first heard claims of a kitchen appliance that can make our favourite greasy foods less unhealthy, all with speeds similar to an Instant Pot. Air fryers started popping into the mainstream eye in the spring of 2017, and now that they've had their chance to marinate in the market (food pun intended), it feels like an appropriate time to compare the best ones.
If you thought you were overwhelmed with all of the different Instant Pot models, just wait until you see the air fryer market. Read more...

Watch the powerful moment Cohen stared directly into the camera and slammed Trump
The testimony from Trump's former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen in front of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday morning has been explosive, but one thing has left a lasting impression.
At least twice during his opening statement, Cohen stared directly into the camera to address Trump directly. The first time, Cohen gazed into the camera and stated, dramatically, "I am no longer your fixer, Mr. Trump."

8 of the best noise-cancelling headphones in the UK
Listening to music can have a profound effect on your state of mind — which could be part of the reason we buy headphones like they're going out of fashion. Listening to music (or podcasts, or audiobooks) can be an integral part of getting through that daily commute or lengthy flight.
But if the incessant sound of jet engines, the distracting laugh of a coworker in the next cubicle, or the deafening bang of nearby construction seems to prevent you from reaching that euphoric place, the best solution is to invest in some noise-cancelling headphones.
Active noise-cancelling headphones can electronically remove the sound coming from your surroundings. They work by using internal microphones that listen to what's happening in the world around you, then inverting the noise and sending it into the loudspeaker. The idea is, both the output and the input will cancel out, leaving you with near-silence— or the music you want to listen to. Read more...

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric are rage-tweeting Michael Cohen's testimony — except for one key moment
The Trump boys are back... on Twitter, that is.
On Wednesday morning, as Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former personal attorney, testified before Congress, two of Trump's sons decided to stand up for their dear old dad on social media.
As Cohen discussed several allegations against the president — from racist comments he's made in private to his connections with Russia — the boys furiously rage-tweeted to defend their father's honor.
It seems Trump Jr.'s been glued to his TV from the start, comparing Cohen's testimony to a "break-up letter" and quote-tweeting the GOP. Read more...
