You haven’t experienced toothbrushing nirvana until you’ve tried the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean. This remarkable toothbrush combines advanced technology with sleek lines. The more you use this device, the less time you’ll have to spend in that dentist’s chair — aside from your semi-annual check ups. The DiamondClean is not only proven to remove five times as much plaque as a conventional toothbrush, it also will whiten your teeth in a week. Its slim, ergonomic ceramic-finished handle is way better to hold on to than say, that plastic toothbrush you’ve been using for the last few months. It also has five cleaning modes that include gum care, white and polish. Its special cleaning action pushes more water in between teeth and along the gumline, allowing for healthier teeth.

The DiamondClean even comes with not one, but two different brush heads — standard and compact. Their high-density bristle pattern gets all that icky plaque off your teeth while also lifting stubborn stains that come from all that coffee and red wine you drink, and if you’re a cigarette smoker, all that disgusting smoke you inhale. They somehow are able to get to all those hard to reach areas that your regular toothbrush can’t touch. The dual charging system also allows you to power up your toothbrush with a USB connection on your computer or a conventional wall plug. Get this — power lasts a whole three weeks in between charges!

Once you get the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Toothbrush, you’ll never go back to a regular toothbrush, or back to the dentist for expensive dental work.

Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Toothbrush, $174.95 at amazon.com.

Everything points to Apple TV+ making a change you’re not going to like
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

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.
