Photo by Grant Baldwin / Getty Images I’m honestly not sure which part of North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson’s freshly filed defamation lawsuit to focus on here. The obvious lede is that Robinson — currently the Republican nominee for North Carolina governor — sued CNN for defamation yesterday. The suit targets the network for publishing meticulously documented allegations that Robinson made a series of bizarre and frequently bigoted comments... Read more ›

I switched to Gmail in 2005, not long after it was first introduced (at least, April of that year is the earliest email I... Read more ›

On a scorching 100-degree day, I find Henry Dorado’s booth at the Brooklyn Flea Market. Above, trains rattle loudly on the Manhattan Bridge. The outdoor market is a small but trendy event that fills this corner every weekend, rain or oppressive shine.

The studio just released the first trailer for The Legend of Ochi, a fantasy adventure that also happens to star a cute-as-hell creature to rival Grogu.

A lot has been said about TV in 2004. That it was the best year of television of all time, the peak of the Golden Age of television. Or maybe that it was the year reality television became too much, suddenly showing up on every channel as we flipped the switch. But as famed Hollywood producer and UFO enthusiast Bryce Zabel wrote for the Los Angeles Times in 2004, it... Read more ›
