5 Fall ‘Vibes’ to Help You Make the Most of Autumn in 2026

It’s officially autumn, officially October, and—if you ask me—officially the best time of year. Depending on your intentions for the months ahead, you can make this season whatever you want. What type of autumn are you craving this year? Here are five potential fall vibes to cultivate. 1. Cozy and Slow Autumn If you’re feeling tired and introverted after a wild and social summer, you’re not alone. I often use this time of year to slow down and cuddle up on the couch with a good book or comfort show. As the weather cools and the days grow shorter, it’s common to feel more lethargic or crave more rest. Listen to your body this autumn and allow yourself more time to relax and enjoy each moment. Hang some orange string lights, light a few pumpkin or apple candles, bake your favorite autumnal treats, and let the season calm your nervous system. 2.

The Relationship Trait That Sounds Healthy but Can Actually Backfire

Being called low-maintenance on a date used to sound flattering, like “gee thanks, I know, I just always go with the flow.” Then you date for a while and realize it now means that you’re expected to never ask for anything. The idea works great if you want very little inconvenience from a relationship. A low-maintenance partner supposedly doesn’t need constant reassurance and won’t care if Valentine’s Day involves takeout and a last-minute card from CVS. That can be nice. But if you get too attached to being the easygoing one, you can wind up swallowing every need before it ever leaves your mouth. Psychologist John Gottman spent decades studying couples in what he called his Love Lab, and some of his best-known work came from tiny attempts at connection. He calls them “bids,” meaning the little moments when one person reaches for the other’s attention. It might be a comment about something on TV or a hand on the shoulder. In research that followed newlyweds for six years, c...

Ye’s Beef With This Comedian Led to a Scathing Diss Track and Problematic Rants—Now He’s Justifying Ye’s Behavior: ‘That’ll Do It’

It’s been four years since Kanye “Ye” West’s beef with Pete Davidson popped off. Things got heated between the two former friends after the SNL alum started dating West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. The relationship clearly set West off, leading to him online bullying Davidson and even releasing a diss track titled “ Eazy “. Subsequently, West went in pretty hard on some infamous antisemitic rhetoric , which leads us to Davidson’s new Variety interview. During the comprehensive conversation, Davidson was asked if he thought that being half-Jewish was part of why West went on the attack against him. “What people don’t understand about that dude,” he replied, “and I’m not one-one-millionth as talented or influential or powerful as that dude, but I have dealt with a fraction of what he’s had to deal with public-wise—is that’ll do it.” Kanye West depicted Pete Davidson being decapitated in his music video fo...

Here’s What Really Happened Between Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag on ‘The Hills’

Image
MTV’s The Hills was once an essential viewing, and fans tuned in to see Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad—whose friendship once defined the show—until a nasty rumor draws their relationship to a bitter end. Publicly, things remain awkward between them. The feud kicked off at the premiere of  The Hills  Season 3, when Conrad officially ended her long-standing friendship with Montag, suspecting that she and Spencer Pratt were spreading cruel rumors about Conrad and her ex-boyfriend. That episode created one of the most infamous moments of the series, when Conrad tells Montag, “You know what you did!” Prior to her finding out about the sex tape rumors, their relationship had already been rocky. Conrad moved out of their apartment and onto the next phase of her life. Not to mention she wasn’t the biggest fan of Pratt and Montag together. From that confrontation on, though, a bitter feud ensued, and the rift still hasn’t been patched up almost 20 years later. Nearl...

The 7 Gen Alpha Slang Terms Adults Are Googling Most in 2026

If you’re over the age of 30, you’ve probably become the adult who has to Google what the youngsters are saying. I know I’m definitely one of them.  Maybe your kid sends you something in English words but makes absolutely no sense. Maybe you hear a phrase on TikTok six times in one day and finally give in. Either way, congratulations. This is our life now. Recent search data shows people are doing exactly that. Unscramblerer analyzed Google searches through August 2026 to see which Gen Alpha slang terms people were looking up. Randoh Sallihal, a spokesperson for Unscramblerer, told Mental Floss that slang works as a “social signal,” giving people a way to participate in whatever their corner of the internet is doing. Some of these make sense. Kind of. Others will probably make you feel like a senior citizen. 1.
