If you’re into history and the idea of reusing things to help the environment, we have found furniture you’ll love in your home. Warehouse 2120 is the exclusive North American dealer for Indonesian furniture made from salvaged fishing boats.

You might see furniture designed to look like it’s been made from fishing boats, but some are new constructions that have been aged and painted. Warehouse 2120 has the real deal.

“What makes our furniture truly one of a kind is it’s all 100% recycled fishing boats. We don’t paint them,” says Allie Whitson, one of the company founders.

“Our products are made from teak wood and good for indoor or outdoor use,” she says. “We recommend finishing with a marine grade varnish.

warehouse 2120 barBars (ranging in price from $1600 to $3000) and barstools (on average $360) are among the hottest items on their website.

They offer an amazing selection of items covering everything from dining tables and coffee tables to lounge chairs, desks, chests, headboards, buffets, storage units, home accents and lots more. Each piece has a distinctive, individual look that will blend in with a variety of décor styles.

They have about 40 dealers selling their products across the U.S. and continually expanding. Whitson encourages customers to check out the dealer locations on their website. She says, “If you’re in an area without a dealer in a 100 mile radius, we’re happy to help.”

“Our furniture is incredibly sturdy and durable. What’s cool is the story. It’s environmental, eco-friendly and we’re helping a lot of fishermen in the villages,” she adds. “We buy their boats and they are able, in turn, to get a new boat. It helps their local economy.”

Mercedes Benz Sprinter plays a pivotal role in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
The ECTO-Z makes its debut in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

Later this month, the Ghostbusters will be back on the big screen in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. And while three generations of the team are coming together, there is a big addition to the crew: The ECTO-Z. At an event in New York City, Mercedes-Benz officially unveiled the Ghostbusters' new ride, which is a customized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter that follows in the footsteps of the iconic ECTO-1 from the first three films.

Given the larger size of the second and third-generation Ghostbusters team, it was only natural that they would need a vehicle that could carry all of them to the scene of a haunting anywhere in NYC. As for the name, it comes from original team member Dr. Winston Zeddemore, as played by Ernie Hudson. Ghostbusters: Afterlife established that Zeddemore is now the financial backer of the Ghostbusters and the de facto leader of the team.

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.
