Visio’s whole purpose is to turn complex information into something people can look at and immediately get. You’ll have access to dozens of templates, thousands of shapes, and Microsoft’s entire online shape ecosystem — more than 250,000 options in total.

Whether you’re making a flowchart, an org chart, a network map, or even a floor plan, Visio gives you a clean starting point so you’re not shaping everything from scratch.

One really handy perk: you can automatically generate org charts from an Excel file, a directory, or Microsoft Entra ID. You can also link visuals to live data, so your diagrams stay up to date as your information changes.

Visio Professional adds even more templates and collaboration tools, plus support for standards like BPMN 2.0 and UML 2.5, which is great if you work in technical or business-heavy fields.

It’s a one-time purchase that won’t be around forever at this price. Get lifetime access to Microsoft Visio 2021 Professional for just $12.97 (reg. $249.99) while you can.

Mega Khangaskhan ex is a great card to have for card farming early on in a battle by using its Run Errand ability, that allows trainers to draw two draws per turn. Unfortunately this ability can't be stacked, which would also be ridiculously overpowered and game breaking. It's also a basic Pokémon, so you can get this into play as soon as you draw it.

The best chase cards you can pull from Destined Rivals and Mega Evolution Credit: Mashable Photo Composite / The Pokémon Company

Big box Pokémon TCG products aren't usually great for trying to pull chase cards considering you only get a handful of booster packs, but there's always a chase. It usually works out cheaper over time just buying the card you want straight up, which is where TCGplayer shines by offering a tracked marketplace with rated sellers.

Here's the top five chase cards you can pull or buy right now from Destined Rivals and Mega Evolution:

Donald Trump's Truth Social rants about late night hosts have seen Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers as targets, with each taking more than one moment on their shows to respond to the president's onslaught.

It's kind of hard to keep up with Trump's continuous tirades against the hosts, as Late Night with Seth Meyers regular Amber Ruffin pointed out during her "Amber Says What" segment on Tuesday night's show.

During her show-favourite news recap, the comedian noted that Trump had taken aim at Meyers yet again in November, posting on his own social media platform, "Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent." Ruffin was having absolutely none of that, and stuck up for her colleague.

"Someone told me that Trump tweeted about Late Night and I was like, 'What? I already know that.' And they were like, 'No, he did it again.' And I was like, 'Whaaaat? This man is obsessed," she said.

"So this time, Trump said, '[Seth] Meyers has no talent,' and that’s simply not true. Show him Seth."

Throwing to a nonchalant Meyers, the late night host responded, "Show him what?"

"Show him you can sing!"

"Oh, I don’t sing."

"Well, show him you can dance!"

"I can't dance."

"Seth, you gotta help me out here buddy."

Meanwhile, David Letterman was over on Jimmy Kimmel Live! also sticking up for his friend.
