Even when a life-threatening hurricane is headed your way, there are many reasons why you might stay put. You might have dependent family members who can’t leave due to disabilities or other health-related reasons; you might not have reliable transportation to get to a safer area, and what’s more, no gas to get there.

Most people know Sonoma County, the Northern California region sometimes called America’s Provence, for its lush vineyards, Mediterranean-style villas, and farm-to-table restaurants.

I’d switched to a new brand recently, and while my hair looked amazing, I’d developed an itchy ring around the perimeter of my skull, like someone had put a poison crown on me.

It seems as though the country has been engaged in one long screaming match since 2016. Go on YouTube or scroll through X and that feeling gets a face.

Around 15 years ago, a new campaign took off across the young social media ecosystem. People with learning disabilities and intellectual disorders were asking everyone else to stop using the r-word to describe them or even to make jokes. No more, “Bro, that movie’s so dumb, it’s [r-word],” no more, “Don’t be stupid, why are […] Read more ›

People are prescribed more psychiatric drugs now than ever, […] Read more ›

As a culture, Americans are coming to better understand the injustice that was done to Lyle and Erik Menendez.

Their trials unfolded amid a […] Read more ›

The term “climate haven” never made much sense. After Hurricane Helene dumped two feet of rain on western North Carolina, many major media outlets marveled at how Asheville, which had been celebrated as a climate haven, had been devastated by a climate-related disaster. Some in the media later reported accurately that climate havens don’t actually […] Read more ›

Reader Andrew Perrin writes: While I realize political campaigns need money, the only messages I seem to get from political campaigns are pleas for money, especially when they’re trying to hit “end of month deadlines” — which I have no idea why that’s important. I’d much rather receive texts or emails about policy ideas, what […] Read more ›
