There’s nothing like wrapping a blanket around your shoulders, enjoying a cup of hot tea (or maybe a hot toddy), and watching the snow fall on a chilly winter morning. The Foot Soldier Military Wool Blanket from Faribault Woolen Mill Company is ideal for doing just that. When you’re not using it to keep warm, the simple design and army green color make it a great accent piece for an urban industrial space or rustic-style mountain vacation cabin.

No sofa is complete without a few throw pillows, and it’s not officially winter until you break out the flannel. Throw pillow covers are ideal because they let you easily switch up your look without having to invest in a pillow for every season. Etsy is a great source for seasonal items like this; check out The Shabby Stichery’s pillow covers. She makes a black buffalo check pillow cover that is not only stylish but soft, warm, and comforting on cold nights — the way flannel should be. Curl up on the couch with one of these and your Netflix and chill nights will quickly become Netflix and snooze.

Nothing says “cozy” like a fuzzy rug in front of the fire. If you’re looking for a real animal hide, this Farmhouse Sheepskin rug from Farmhouse Pottery is the way to go. The sheep are free range, raised by a small farm in the hills of Oregon. For extra comfort, this rug can be stacked on top of carpeting or other area rugs — the stacked look is super trendy right now and makes sitting on the floor a lot more comfortable.

Not sure real is right for you? Check out this faux rawhide rug from Alexander Home — just as soft, humane, and a lot easier to clean than the real thing.

Is an ad-supported tier coming to Apple TV+?

It turns out that TV worked pretty well under its old model. According to a new report from Business Insider, Apple TV+ may be the latest streaming service that's set to introduce an ad-supported tier and charge those who don't stream with ads a premium fee to access their great shows and movies.

At this point, the report is still speculation, but Apple has made several recent hires in the advertising space that seem to suggest the direction they're planning to take. The company recently hired former NBCUniversal ad executive Joseph Cady to serve as executive vice president of advanced advertising and partnerships, a move that comes following the company's hiring of another former NBCUniversal executive, Jason Frum, who joined Apple's video ad sales team.

From Gilda Radner to Ali Wong, these are the best female comedians of all time
These women from all generations will make you laugh out loud
Ai Wong comedian 2017 Moontower comedy festival

Hot take: I don’t care for straight male comedians. It’s not that they’re not funny, they’re just … I don’t know, boring? Maybe that’s reductive of me, but I never seem to leave a straight male comedian’s set feeling particularly inspired. And though some may argue that it’s not important for a set to "inspire" its audience, I’d actually argue that the opposite is true. For me, I want to see a comedian use humor to address real issues and say real things about the world, even if they do it in a completely goofy way.

Therefore, I tend to prefer female and female-identified comedians. They’re sharp, tough, and have often seen shit that makes their comedy feel raw and true. Undoubtedly there are male comedians who do this, too, but to a much lesser degree, in my very humble and very personal opinion.

12 classic sci-fi books everyone should read
If you love science fiction and reading, these classic sci-fi novels are a must
Man reading a book and drinking coffee

It may feel like we were recently living in a science-fiction dystopia life -- and in some ways, we were -- but that doesn't mean that we should simply avoid an entire genre of writing. Hardly. In fact, this is probably the perfect time to explore classic sci-fi books, to see what the masters have written, and maybe even see if someone predicted anything like this. Many, though, simply ignore sci-fi wholly and completely because of an association with robots, aliens, and the like.

Long story short, if you think you don't like sci-fi, you have never read great books from the genre. But indeed, many such books abound, including a number that has delighted generations of readers going back well over 150 years. In fact, one of the best things about so many sci-fi books is their very timelessness. As by definition, this type of fiction breaks away from the norms of the everyday world -- whether slightly twisting things or taking place on entire other worlds -- the stories often feel as fresh and relevant today as when they were published decades ago.
