You'll soon be writing a heartfelt "thank you" note to your past self.
1. An airtight Deli ProKeeper if you're no stranger to #FridgeTok and this has been on your wishlist for a minute now. This will help consolidate your cluttered deli drawer while keeping deli meat and cheese fresh for longer — we love a multi-talented product.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so air tight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win from me." — IrishEyes
Get it from Amazon for $21.95.
2. A hybrid berry basket and colander that'll make cleaning your fruit a breeze! Most importantly, it'll help keep everything nice and fresh so it doesn't go bad within a matter of days of buying it — future you will be SO grateful.
Promising review: "My blueberries stay fresh and crisp in this container, rather than the familiar fate of becoming soggy and moldy! I love how I can wash the berries in the strainer, pop it into the basket, and then look forward to the BEST blueberries EVER!!!!!" — Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
3. A corduroy foldable sleeper chair when space is limited but the cozy vibes are not — this is the perf option for a reading nook *and* it transforms into a bed for any houseguests you may have. I foresee many impromptu afternoon snoozes on this thing.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is such a comfortable chair or bed! I was very happy with my purchase. You won't go wrong if you are looking for comfort or if you need to save space. I highly recommend this." — danny
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).
4. A Pikk-it tool so you can stop shaving years off your life by trying to manually untangle your own hair from the vacuum. This lil' gadget will work to get rid of all the stubborn strands that are affecting your vac's suction power. You can use it on hairbrushes as well!
Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
5. A *no-scrub* weekly shower cleaner to keep your shower sparkling clean *and* mildew-free. Simply pray it once a week, let it sit, and rinse it clean the next day. Start drafting an apology letter to former you for all the hours lost to scrubbing and wiping.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D.
Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes).
6. A super-long duster because you'll need a way to clean extra hard-to-reach areas, like the lovely high ceilings you just *had* to have. It extends up to a whopping 100" and has a bendable duster head that'll actually do a good job of grabbing those dust bunnies you've been chasing around to no avail.
The microfiber dusting head is completely removable and machine-washable.
Promising review:"This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all with this duster, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes. Seriously, you can wipe down all the webs that have been built — all without standing directly beneath the duster! The extra length also means no unexpected guests are going to drop down your shirt while you're evicting them. And I'm perfectly okay with that." — M. C. Payette
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available with extra attachments).
7. A vibrant set of stackable mixing bowls with sturdy lids that'll turn mundane meal prep into a joyful experience — say what?? These bowls nest inside each other, which is perfect for tiny kitchens with limited storage space. They're also dishwasher safe so you can use 'em for prepping *and* eating, which means you'll have one less dirty dish to wash.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:" I like the fact that these bowls are deep rather than wide so they don't take up a lot of shelf space. The colors are beautiful. I threw all my old bowls with miss matched lids away!" — Lisa Jean Jenkins
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in various sizes, sets, and styles).
8. A wall-mounted mop and broom holder to 1. organize your leaning tower of cleaning tools and 2. free up some valuable floor space. You get four slots for storing tools and four hooks for hanging other items, like those dustpans you never know what to do with.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Installation was simple and the organizer keeps everything securely in place. The wall mount feature saves floor space. The cleaning tool organizer has significantly improved my cleaning routine. It is functional, durable, and helps maintain an organized space. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to keep their supplies in order." — Yuly
Get it from Amazon for $9.79 (available in silver or black).
9. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads — believe it or not, cleaning your porcelain throne doesn't have to be the most dreaded task of all time. The scrubbers come loaded with cleaner, so just wave the wand around the bowl and watch the magic happen. You'll soon wonder how your past self ever lived without this thing.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The kid includes one wand with a long handle, six disposable scrubbing pads preloaded with cleaner, and one caddy for easy storage.
Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
10. And a pumice stone you'll wish you bought ages ago because it can power through years of rust, lime, and calcium buildup while still being gentle on your porcelain throne. If your standard toilet brush can't handle it, this pumice stone can!

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This was very easy to install to hide all the messy wires. This is life changing to create a nice, sleek space." — Martha Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in four lengths and two configurations).
12. An adjustable cabinet door organizer and towel rack duo so you'll have a place for your cutting boards or wrap boxes *and* an extra place to hang dish towels. They're probably constantly falling down from the oven handle anyway, so why not??
Promising reviews:"This works great for my little kitchen. I put cutting boards and smaller cookie sheets in one, and plastic bags of all sizes in the other. Easy extra space." — keldasings
"I absolutely love this cutting board organizer! This holds all of my cutting boards with more than enough room and even makes for cute decor in the kitchen with the external towel racks. The height of the basket is adjustable which helps make it easier to fit in a variety of different spaces! I may buy another one for cookbooks. :)" — Carly Mabli
Get a set of two from Amazon for $25.99.
13. A versatile slicker brush because let's face it, your faux fur rugs, blankets, and jackets have seen better days. I come bearing wonderful news! This super ~slick~ tool can zhuzh up wool, sheepskin, cashmere, faux fur, etc. so it looks new again.
Promising review:"Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" — Renee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
14. A set of washable liners so kitchen cleanup is a lot easier when you hang up your chef's hat for the day. Go on, give yourself some credit for preemptively taking care of all those fallen crumbs your future self would've been sooo mad about it. When it's time for a refresh, just take it out and give it a good wipe down before reusing.
For hard-to-clean messes, you can pop the liner in the dishwasher!
Promising review:"I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning over and seeing how some things just won't come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate test....baked beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!" — Lakeisland Girl
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $16.99.
15. A faux book display to conceal messy outlets, cables, and other eyesores for a clean, organized vibe that fills you with joy. You won't mind having everyone comment on your impressive "book" collection either. 😉
Covogoods is a Utah-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in storage solutions crafted from up-cycled books.
Promising review: "We absolutely love our CovoBox. It fits perfectly into our cabinet, and the cable modem/router, AppleTV, and external hard drive, and their various cables are now cleverly disguised as Harry Potter books 1–7. Great customer service, quick delivery, and a fabulous product. Two thumbs way, way up!" — John Grace
Get it from Covogoods on Etsy for $19.80+ (originally $33+; available in various customizations and sizes) OR from Amazon Handmade for $29+ (you'll choose customizations before adding to your cart).
16. A pair of beaded fan pull extenders giving some major "why didn't I think of this sooner?" energy. You'll never have to guess whether you're pulling the cord for the light or the fan! These also add a good foot of length to your pulls, which is super helpful for the shorties out there.
Promising review:" This is the definition of "product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed." I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek... now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor. (When you notice them — most of the time, who even thinks about a ceiling fan pull chain?) As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" — LHD
Get it from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in two lengths and three finishes).
17. A genius veggie chopper with four interchangeable blades, aka your future must-have kitchen sidekick thanks to its endless usefulness. Get ready to fall in love with meal prep again now that chopping is a breeze!

Insert your preferred blade and lock it into place, add your veggie, close the lid, and chop your heart out!

Whether you're making a delicious dip, stew, or BBQ dish, this shredder will get the job done faster than ever. Place the meat inside, twist the lid a few times, and you're good to go.
Promising review: " This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of a 'too good to be true' items, but this does everything it says it does. I literally shredded two large chicken breasts in seconds, yes SECONDS!! I wish I would've taken a video, but I didn't. It didn't move/slip from the counter and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" — Ruthie K Voss
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in nine colors).
19. A bottle of metallic spray paint for reviving metal fixtures and decor items that have seen better days. Your old dingy doorknobs, faucets, and light fixtures don't stand a chance against this stuff.

Get it from Amazon for $8.62 (available in several metallic finish colors).
20. Some internet-famous Mellanni sheets that'll make it hard for you to get out of bed in the best way. It'll also be hard to believe they don't cost hundreds of dollars given the wonderfully soft moisture-wicking microfiber fabric.
Promising reviews: "My favorite sheets have to be Cozy Earth. But they are way too pricey for a guest bed. These sheets are just as good without the huge price tag. Side by side comparison to these vs expensive brands like Cozy Earth or Peacock Alley — these sheets are thinner and deeper, which actually fit better on our deep mattress with a 3-inch topper, these sheets are just as cool feeling as the higher-end ones when you get in bed. They wash well. Actually better than [the] Peacock Alley brand. They hardly wrinkle. And even after months of use, they are still in great shape. They haven't started to peel yet or fray. No loose threads or tears. Great sheets!" — Susan
"I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn't too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well, he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!" — Sheree Chrestman
Get a queen set of sheets from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in sizes twin–California king, sets with deep pockets for taller mattresses, and in 45 colors/patterns).

Promising review:"I hardly ever write reviews but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok and it got me curious so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it's such a game changer. I'm a side sleeper and this pillow is heaven. It's some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." — MT
Get it from Amazon for $79+ (available in queen and king sizes, and three shapes).
22. A sleek wall-mounted towel rack when your home wasn't exactly blessed with a massive linen closet. Mount this baby on the wall, roll up your towels, and you've got the next best thing! It can hold up to six towels and will save space in other areas that were cramped with too many towels.
Reviewers also use this rack for storing purses, rolling pins, wine bottles, yoga mats, umbrellas, and all sorts of other items.
Promising review:"Anyone with a small bathroom knows that free space is almost non-existent, and these have been so great. We bought two, so we had one for each bathroom, and we were able to get the majority of our towels up on them and looking nice (which means we freed up space in the linen closet)!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.82 (also available as a two-pack).
23. Some reusable beeswax food wrap you'll wish you'd found a lot sooner in your adult life. This is a more sustainable option than say, aluminum foil and plastic wrap. It'll keep your food fresh without any single-use products.

Promising review:"One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" — Melanin Monroe

25. Or a set of similar liners for electric ranges designed to fit *just* right under your burners so no messes can escape and get stuck to the drip pans. You from the future is probably gonna shed a tear of joy over this revelation.
Promising review:"These are great covers to protect your drip pans from spills. I like that they're small enough to fit underneath the heating component but don't cover the outer ring of the drip pan that is most visible on the stove. Since the outer part is easily accessible to wipe down immediately after a spill these covers allow you to protect the inner part without sacrificing the appearance of a clean shiny drip pan on your stove. Considering the fact that this set came with 25 of each size, I would consider this a very good deal." — chem grad student
Get a 50- pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 100).
26. A drain cover if you'd love to enjoy a glorious bubble bath every now and then but your tub is far too shallow...until now! This cover will give you a bit of extra warm water without causing the overflow drain to kick in and ruin the vibe.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Don't worry, it doesn't block your overflow drain completely but rather moves it up several inches — there's a 1-inch hole at the top of this cover that still allows excess water to drain safely.
Promising review:"Can I give this thing 10 gold stars? I have a 4-foot bathtub (so small it should be illegal), so I used to bring a towel in the tub to cover myself just to keep warm because the water was so shallow. I've used this drain cover three times, and now I literally bask in my Epsom salt baths. The silence is wonderful; I used to seethe at hearing the precious bath water drip-drop down the overflow drain. Buy it, hands-down a peace preserver." — M. Smith
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in nine colors).
27. A lovely set of pastel "unbreakable" deep plates so you can brighten up your dull dinnerware cabinet in a flash and make cooking — dare I say — FUN! Most important of all, they're dishwasher-safe *and* microwave-safe for up to three minutes.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can't complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also it's an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me." — M. Zolnosky
Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as bowls!).
28. A rotating utensil holder if your head ~spins~ whenever you struggle to find a utensil that seems to be permanently stuck at the bottom of a messy drawer. It won't be long before you're writing a lengthy "thank you" card to yourself for thinking of this one.
Promising review:"I cook a LOT. I had a utensil holder, but it wasn't big enough so it was hard to slide the utensils in — and if it was semi-empty, they were tilting and falling. I threw it away and used a drawer but then was super sick of digging through everything to get what I needed, especially when you have something on the stove and you need it pronto. I ordered this and love it. It rotates so you can spin it around to get what you need really quickly, has three dividers in it (so the utensils aren't falling over every time you pull one out), and is big enough to fit everything. I have maxed it out with all my utensils — I have 16 cooking utensils in it at a time. It also looks really nice and sleek on the counter. I highly recommend this product." — Jessie
Get it from Amazon for $22.93.
29. An ultra-soft faux-fur rug when you wanna wake up in the morning and immediately treat your feet to a glorious sensation. Really, what's worse than getting outta bed and being met with the ice-cold floor? Maybe in a past life, but not anymore!
Amazon
Hand washing and spot cleaning is recommended!
Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside too." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four sizes, two shapes, and 11 colors).
30. A very snazzy coffee syrup dispenser set, which comes with 28 premade flavor labels — it's basically a dream come true for caffeine connoisseurs who appreciate a tasty coffee drink with a side of pristine organization.
New England Stories is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products.
Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular-size Torani syrup bottle, it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about storing a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi
Get a set of four from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors and in sets of two or six).
31. And this slim set of oil dispensers because you don't *have* to be the sad owner of bland kitchen vessels anymore. These cuties will hold your oils, look good doing it, and take up less space. You'll only wish you found 'em in a previous lifetime.
Each set includes two glass bottles, two gold dispensers, a funnel, and 37 stain-free labels.
Promising review: "These are so unique from the standard oil storage containers. They also hold a good amount of liquid and come with lots of labels, funnel, and topper. They look so sleek, sturdy, and fit the aesthetic! I love them." — Mikaela O.
Get a set of two from Amazon for $44.95 (available in three colors and as a set of four).
32. A brush and squeegee combo if you're a big fan of 2-in-1 tools that help you tackle different tasks. This nifty number hangs on the edge of your sink and can be used to sweep the wet *or* dry countertop to get rid of spills and scraps.
Amazon
Promising review:"LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Saves me so many paper towels, easily washed in the dishwasher, and the small size saves space! Will always have one of these on hand for sure!" — Prime Time Review
Get it from Amazon for $10.63.
33. A pretty faux-leather tissue box cover that may have you crying tears of joy, considering you had no idea your Kleenex could look THIS dang cute. Just place it over your existing tissue box and secure the Velcro strap on the bottom — that's all there is to it!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I wish I made this purchase sooner! This tissue box is chic and the perfect modern addition to any room. It's well made, and I've had no issues with this product in five months. There's a strap to secure the tissue box into the holder. Will definitely purchase more :)" — Liz
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine colors).
34. Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer because I'll bet future you would be glad to save a few bucks on that *very* expensive coffee habit.

Amazon
You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water.
Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best-tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." — Alex Bonick
Get it from Amazon for $34.33 (available in two styles).

Amazon
Elypro is a small business in New York City making clever organization products for the home.
Promising review: "These mug organizers work really well. I just ordered my third set. I've been using them for about five months and the cups sit on them nicely. I like that you can change the size so if you have some mugs which are bigger/smaller than others, the organizers work for them as well." — Amazon Customer
Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
36. Under-bed storage bags when it's time to say goodbye to seasonal items (for now, anyway). Now bulky items will be stored out of sight — where they belong. If you're already storing stuff under the bed, you might as well do it the organized way!

You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.
Promising review:" These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight.

Influencer mom slammed for staging beach day with daughter for online views: ‘Saddest thing ever'
This 'beach day' was anything but fun. A so-called mommy influencer is catching heat online after a fellow mom exposed her for allegedly staging a sunny bonding moment with her young daughter — then packing up and leaving right after getting the perfect shot. Ashley Cast (@healthybutno) posted a TikTok video recounting the bizarre incident she witnessed — and it has since ignited a firestorm of debate about online parenting fakery. Advertisement At first, Cast admitted she felt a pang of parenting guilt watching the duo in matching swimsuits carefully crafting a picture-perfect sandcastle, with a phone on a tripod capturing it all. 'I was like, 'That's kind of cute. I wish I was better at that. I should really film more of myself with my kids,' she said in the clip. Advertisement But the warm-and-fuzzy moment didn't last long. Cast said the woman then checked the footage, looked dissatisfied, and — in a twist worthy of a soap opera — demolished the sandcastle. Even more shocking? The daughter didn't even flinch. Cast figured it wasn't the first time this kid's childhood memories were brought to you by Final Cut Pro. Advertisement Once the staged sandcastle shoot wrapped, the mom filmed a quick water-splashing moment with the child. That, too, was cut short. The child probably had fun for 'ten seconds,' Cast theorized, before the mom told her disappointed daughter, 'We're done,' and dove back into her phone to presumably start editing. 'Are you freaking kidding me? You just took your daughter to the beach for views,' Cast said. 'It's one thing to have a pretend life. But it's another thing to have a pretend life and use your children for views.' Viewers were equally gobsmacked. 'Imagine if your childhood was made up of cuts and retakes,' one TikTok user commented. Advertisement 'This is the saddest thing ever,' read another comment. Another wrote: 'Fun fact: when you're ACTUALLY parenting, you rarely have brain space to set up a camera and if you're focused on your kid, you'll never take the time to stage a shoot.' Cast said the woman reviewed the footage, frowned — and in a plot twist fit for a daytime drama, stomped the sandcastle like a true beachside villain. Andrii – This influencer mom isn't the only parent accused of putting clicks over kids. As previously reported by The Post, Garrett Gee, a former tech founder turned 'adventure journalist' extraordinaire, recently posted a video that similarly left viewers horrified. The clip — which shows him tossing his hesitant 7-year-old son off a cliff into a lake — sparked debate, with critics accusing him of 'exploiting' his kids online. Ultimately, when it comes to parenting for the 'Gram, some moms and dads aren't raising children — they're raising engagement.

Check out this great neo-noir before it leaves Amazon Prime Video next week (July 2025)
When you're actually trying to figure out which titles you should prioritize on a given streaming service, it can feel almost impossible. Speaking for myself, I know that trying to pick a single thing to watch from among the vast array of titles available on services like Prime Video can feel almost impossible. What I often do, then, is pick something that won't be available for long. Prime Video has plenty of titles coming and going all the time, and if you're looking for one to watch this month, I'd start with To Live and Die in L.A. Here are three reasons you should check it out: Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best movies on Disney+. It's a dark, moody action movie Although To Live and Die in L.A. is in some ways a standard cop action movie of the 1980s, in others it's much stranger and more nihilistic than that description makes it sound. The film follows a rogue cop who, after losing his partner to a master counterfeiter, becomes hellbent on revenge. As he pushes the boundaries of his job, we find ourselves wondering whether he's gone way too far in the pursuit of justice. It's a nervy movie that you might walk away from hating both the hero and the villain, which remains one of the reasons why it's aged well. It's rarely available to stream This is a slightly unusual reason, but one of the best reasons to check out To Live and Die in L.A. is that the movie is actually usually pretty hard to watch on streaming. This is a rare window where the movie's available, and given that it's one of the definitive action movies of the 1980s, it's well worth your time. Given the uncertainty of licensing rights, you can never tell when a movie is going to pop up on streaming and when it might disappear for years at a time. While streaming isn't the only way to watch movies, it's often the most convenient, so take advantage of this convenience while you can. It features Willem Dafoe at his villainous best While the entire ensemble of To Live and Die in L.A. is doing excellent work, the movie's true standout performer is almost undoubtedly Willem Dafoe, who plays the master counterfeiter. Dafoe is not known for playing nice guys, but his performance as the villain at the center of this movie is particularly unsettling because he's so cold and calculating. Dafoe can be big and hammy, but here, he underplays almost every scene in a way that makes him seem deeply real and just as malevolent as you would want him to be. It's a great early turn from one of our best actors. You can watch To Live and Die in L.A. on Amazon Prime Video.

Washington Post TikTok Star Dave Jorgenson Is Going Solo
Dave Jorgenson, who launched The Washington Post's TikTok presence in 2019, has announced he's ... More leaving the paper to start his own media venture. Dave Jorgenson, the face of The Washington Post on the paper's TikTok account and its YouTube channel, is leaving the newspaper after eight years to launch his own video news company — a move that represents both a bet on his personal brand and another blow to a newsroom that's pretty much in a constant state of flux these days. 'Dear Jeff Bezos,' Jorgenson says, addressing the owner of the newspaper, in a voiceover for a minute-long video he posted to YouTube on Tuesday. 'If you're reading this, you already know. I'm leaving The Washington Post and starting my own company." From TikTok star to startup founder Jorgenson, who helped bring the Post into the Gen Z era with his sketch-driven TikToks and short explainers about politics, business, and culture, announced that he's stepping away from the paper to launch Local News International, a new venture that aims to mix news and comedy in the style of Comedy Central's The Daily Show. The idea is to do more of what he made a name for himself for at the Post — meeting audiences where they are, and continuing to do so with wit as well as an editorial voice that feels human. This time, without the cachet (and baggage) of a 147-year-old news institution behind him. 'I think we're well positioned to reach an audience that can't make sense of the current news landscape,' Jorgenson told me when I reached him Tuesday afternoon. 'I'm often reminded — from user comments — that I'm their first source to any given news story. For that reason, I take my news format of being silly but informative very seriously.' Importantly, he's not going to be doing this alone, either. He's bringing two colleagues with him: Micah Gelman, the Post's former head of video (Jorgenson's former boss), and Lauren Saks, his deputy. Both were instrumental in building the Post's digital video presence and are now co-founders at LNI Media, where they'll work on brand partnerships and overall strategy while Jorgenson focuses on content. It goes without saying: This is the latest blow to the Post, where CEO Will Lewis' vision and a sweeping round of buyouts has triggered high-profile departures — including not just Jorgenson, but also WP Ventures head Krissah Thompson. Jorgenson, in fact, described the paper's strategy as basically directionless in an interview with The New York Times, saying, 'I'm just not convinced they have the best road map right now.' That critique comes at a time when the Post is already facing significant challenges — including everything from subscription losses to leadership shakeups and internal friction over editorial priorities. As Pamela Alma Weymouth, granddaughter of the legendary former publisher Katharine Graham, recently wrote in The Nation, 'If The Washington Post goes dark under Bezos, then we lose more than a legend. We lose the very thing that makes America a democracy.' In many ways, Jorgenson has been the most visible avatar of the Post's ongoing modernization for the last several years. As I wrote for Forbes back in 2021, the paper celebrated hitting 1 million TikTok followers at that time, thanks largely to Jorgenson's output that included producing up to 10 TikToks a week combining hard news with absurdist humor. That pacge helped the paper build what, to some observers, felt like a surprising degree of cultural relevance on platforms otherwise dominated by things like influencers and dance trends. Now, he's taking that same ethos to Local News International, where he hopes the audience will follow. 'I'm really excited to work with brands that fit our ethos,' Jorgenson told me. 'Doing this with people I trust — Lauren and Micah — makes that part even more exciting. They can take the wheel there while I focus on the content.' Jorgenson's personal TikTok and YouTube followings are still relatively small – roughly 92,000 and 100,000, respectively – compared to The Washington Post's millions. But his bet is clear: That in a fractured media world, personality, tone, and trust matter more than legacy or even scale.
