RE’s latest 650cc twin is much more than just a scrambler-ised Interceptor. It’s hard not to get carried away when riding on mountain roads in Southern California. Maybe it’s the crisp, cool high-altitude air that tricks you into feeling relaxed, even when the speeds are anything but. We certainly got carried away in the twisties […]
Will the Classic 650 Twin be able to satiate both the purists and the modern crowd? We head to picturesque Newcastle to find out. I vividly remember my first dalliance with the charming Royal Enfield Classic 350 – our then long-termer when I was just an intern. It was early July, and I was riding […]
Despite the fun-filled antics of The Parent Trap, Big Business and various Olsen twin films, running into your doppelganger is an existentially horrifying prospect. In Mirror Image, one of the finest episodes of The Twilight Zone, the bone-chilling terror of such an encounter is uncovered over 25 taut minutes, with a woman in 1960s New […]
This morning, multiple blogs and YouTube channels published their reviews of the new Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 Lab lens for Sony E-mount cameras. PetaPixel has a unit in hand but chose not to review it because of an issue Viltrox made us aware of. Last month, Viltrox emailed PetaPixel to inform us that there was an […]
Welcome to Week in Review. This week, election results — newly elected MLA’s figure out whether they’ll be serving as government or opposition.

In this review, I explore the RF 01, a racket designed by Roger Federer to bring elements of his game to a broader audience. Wilson says it’s the line of rackets Federer would have used if he had successfully recovered from knee surgery in 2021. Sadly, we all know that never happened, so we can’t […]
I reviewed all of Trader Joe’s refrigerated ravioli that I could find and ranked them. The arugula-and-Parmigiano Reggiano and Bolognese flavors weren’t super memorable. The cacio-e-pepe ravioli may be one of the best pasta products Trader Joe’s has ever made. Thanks for signing up! Access your favorite topics in a personalized feed while you’re on […]
If you’ve ever done media outreach, chances are you’ve crossed paths with HARO (Help a Reporter Out). For over a decade, it was the go-to platform for securing media placements and backlinks. But in early 2024, HARO officially shut its doors. What now? Fortunately, HARO’s closure doesn’t mean your outreach efforts have to take a […]
Nintendo’s been on an RPG hot streak since last fall. In that time, the company released the gorgeous Super Mario RPG remake, followed by the excellent Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake. Now, Mario & Luigi: Brothership ($59.99) sees the brothers take on a new adventure, and it’s excellent. The pair travel to a new land they must save […]
