“WTF jacket should I wear?” season is officially here. And if you’re staring at a pile of too-heavy or too-light coats, this guide to spring’s top jacket trends will fix that.

What the world needs now is…Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden as oddly attached siblings? In Sunny Nights, Hulu’s darkly funny crime series, the pair play Martin and Vicki Marvin, who relocate to Sydney to get their spray-tan business off the ground while also winning Martin’s wife back. But things aren’t going well — and only get worse when Martin’s one-night stand leads to blackmail, plunging them into the criminal underworld. As the two try to keep their business (and themselves) alive, expect a show best described as Barry meets Breaking Bad meets Ozark, but with accents — and at least one exploding crocodile.

Bust out the fancy sweatpants — it’s finally Oscars weekend. As you scramble to watch every Best Picture nominee before Sunday (just us?), make sure to stock up on the microwave popcorn science says is superior and click here to screenshot theSkimm’s Oscars Bingo Card, so you can play along on Hollywood’s biggest night. When Andy Sachs shows up, when you see an exposed thong, and when someone inevitably brings their mom — you’ll be one step closer to the ever-elusive “BINGO.” Oh, and the Google Search square? Consider that our gift to you.

After Ina Garten’s brownie pudding recipe, it seemed a more perfect viral dessert was not possible. We were wrong. Enter: “scoopable cookies” — essentially, a ridiculously easy, ooey-gooey cookie casserole. Our spoons are ready.
Happy (almost) weekend. Tomorrow, I'm skipping my usual bagel and using a scallion pancake as my bacon, egg, and cheese vehicle (bonus points if you use this brand). The flaky layers, the subtly sweet scallion bite — between this and Alysa Liu, I’ve never been prouder to be Chinese-American. A few other things I’ll get up to?
Trading in the bath mat I’ve had since college (yes, really) for this Bath Stone. It dries fast enough that you’ll never step on a soggy carpet again, is naturally mold- and mildew-resistant, and is made of diatomaceous earth — though don’t ask me what that means. All I know is I’m about to feel very rich stepping out of the shower.
Watching the penultimate Love Story episode. I, too, am a sucker for a Kennedy drama, and nobody — not even the French — did effortless cool like Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Excuse me while I steal this look.
Listening to Christina Applegate’s new memoir, You with the Sad Eyes, on audiobook. From learning about her experiences with sexism in ’90s Hollywood to her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, it’s made me feel a little less alone in this final stretch of winter.
Birding. If you look up “youngest grandma” in the Guinness World Records book, you’ll find yours truly. But listening to birdsongs helps with anxiety and is an analog activity, which my Zillennial brain needs. Two birds, one stone.
