If you’re happy with having all that stuff hats off to you! Be happy! If your physical and mental health is taking a hit due to too much clutter, if you, or a family member, are filled with shame about your situation, then ‘What is your tipping point with too much clutter’ was written for you?

What is your tipping point with too much clutter?

If EA Sports College Football 25 is the first football video game you’ve bought since the last NCAA Football in 2013, you have a lot of catching up to do. We’ve gone through two console cycles since the college game’s last release. And, as the sport itself has evolved, so has the EA version. The game now has more play-calling options to keep up with, more advanced controls for ballcarriers, and more pre-snap adjustments that allow users to create any concept imaginable—on either side of the ball. And while you, Elder Millennial who’s used to just running the play you called in the huddle with maybe a simple route adjustment or two, are trying to catch up, the Gen Z kids you’ll be playing against online have already mastered the new concepts.

They also touch on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce (of course), George Kittle’s entertaining antics, and Olivia Culpo’s recent wedding to another 49er, Christian McCaffrey.

Scary times call for scary movies, and the emerging narrative of 2024 as the year of the horror film feels apt; from both a box office and sociological perspective, genre cinema has dominated the conversation. Last week brought the much-anticipated release of Longlegs, which seeks to reignite the ’90s serial killer genre, while the fall-winter slate has plenty of brand-name monsters waiting in the wings (including Beetlejuice, Nosferatu, and Xenomorphs). To paraphrase the title of my no. 3 movie, it seems that evil very much does exist. If the best movies of the year so far have anything in common, it’s that they’ve dealt with its presence head-on.

The Best Movies of 2024 (So Far)
