[Partner] /explore THE STAR WARS GALACTIC STARCRUISER HOTEL SOUNDS LIKE SECRET CINEMA IN HELL Disney World has long been touted as a place where dreams come true, which in reality was only the case if your subconscious mind had been plagued by visions of queues, tourists, crying children, depressed teenagers in unwieldy costumes, and elements of the natural world that have been badly rendered in fiberglass. But this week, that all changed — Disney World has officially opened its Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser resort. The Guardian /cheers THIS DEEPLY DISCOUNTED FIRSTLEAF WINE BUNDLE IS A GREAT EXCUSE FOR A PARTY If you've ever stood in the wine aisle at your local supermarket or liquor store, you know how overwhelming picking the right bottle can feel. Do slashed price tags mean the wine isn't good? Can the "staff picks" be trusted? Are the more expensive bottles better, or is it just a marketing ploy?

Audacy /interior @samfroststudio /story FLORIDA MAN STEALS CROSSBOW BY STUFFING IT DOWN HIS PANTS A Florida man is accused of stealing a crossbow by stuffing it down his pants, and it was all caught on camera. "Upon reviewing video surveillance footage, a male subject is observed walking into the store, stealing a pair of cutting tools off the shelf, and then cutting the zip ties off of a Ravin Rio Crossbow," the sheriff's office wrote on its Facebook page. My Pan Handle /innovation PUT AN END TO YOUR AWFUL SNORING ONCE AND FOR ALL Snoring is a minor annoyance … up to the point that it isn't. In fact, over time it can lead to many serious health problems. But if you're not into bulky masks and uncomfortable mouthpieces, one of the most appealing options is the Smart Nora. It's easy to use, simple to set up, and totally non-invasive. Smart Nora is an insert you put inside your pillowcase that's connected to a small, unobtrusive "pebble" you use to control the device. Once you go to sleep, Nora will keep an ear out for early signs of snoring, and when they occur, the insert will inflate. That in turn will cause a gentle movement underneath your slumbering head, which stimulates your throat muscles and keeps you from snoring, all without waking you up. Pick one up for yourself (or your partner) today and get the sleep you deserve. Smart Nora /vice COMPANY OFFERS EMPLOYEES PODS TO MASTURBATE IN, COMPLETE WITH VR HEADSETS A company has taken the unusual step of offering their employees pods to masturbate in while at work as an employee benefit — which is usually things like a dental plan or free coffee. The Cyprus-based adult website Stripchat installed four pods for its 200 employees and will allow them 30-minute paid breaks during work hours to make use of the pods (aka to jack it). The decision to install the pods was made to help employees cope with the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic. With 200 employees sharing the four pods, they may not have assessed the stress and awkwardness involved in queuing at work for onanism.
