President Joe Biden has made taking on “junk fees” — hidden fees on everything from airline bookings to concert tickets — a key part of his domestic agenda.

2024 was supposed to be the year MDMA, better known by its street variations, “ecstasy” or “molly,” shed its reputation as a mere party drug. Advocates touted its potential to treat mental illness, but MDMA research was long stymied by its status as an illicit drug with no medical use. This year, the FDA reviewed […] Read more ›

The FDA has decided not to approve MDMA therapy for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, dealing an unexpected blow to the growing movement to raise psychedelics from the underground as a new, strangely powerful type of medicine. Psychoactive drugs like psilocybin, LSD, and MDMA have been illegal for decades.

First, some good news: In an otherwise polarizing and divisive election, there’s at least one policy proposal that’s emerging as a unifying issue.

When you look at what the right’s rising leaders are saying, it’s clear that conservatives have become increasingly obsessed with the fate of the American family.

The Trump campaign claims it was hacked by Iran — though what information the accused hackers actually obtained, if anything, is unclear. The FBI is reportedly looking into the matter.

The 2024 Olympics are officially done, but there’s one bronze medal that’s still hanging in the balance. That medal was initially awarded to American gymnast Jordan Chiles.

Vice President Kamala Harris is potentially on the verge of becoming one of the most powerful people on Earth. At the same time, in part because her rapid ascent to the Democratic presidential nomination didn’t involve the sustained public attention of a long presidential primary, she’s more of a cipher to many Americans than major […] Read more ›

Many of us like to think our moral values are stable. We imagine that we’ve each got a moral compass inside us, with the needle reliably pointing us north — toward our sense of right and wrong. But according to a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, our deepest moral […] Read more ›

For roughly half of humans, one thing is as certain as death and taxes: If you menstruate and live long enough, your ovaries will stop releasing eggs, and your menstrual cycle will end. Menopause is weird, biologically speaking. People, five species of whales, and maybe chimpanzees are the only animals that seem to live beyond […] Read more ›

But any list like this has to include George Orwell, the English essayist and the author of two of the most famous political novels […] Read more ›

Industry, now in its third season, has lived in the shadow of two HBO juggernauts, Euphoria and Succession, for the past four years. Its similarities with Succession in particular — British creators, corporate settings, despicable characters, acerbic dialogue, gray-toned palettes — have made it difficult for the show about young, ketamine-snorting bankers to capture everyone’s […] Read more ›

Humans are simple creatures. Since the dawn of spectator sports, we’ve wanted to watch muscular people fight and do flips. Today, TikTok-friendly high-drama sports like women’s gymnastics regularly dominate Olympic viewership on TV networks and streaming platforms. But watching artistic gymnastics isn’t the only way to see ultra-strong people do flips and splits. Pole dancing […] Read more ›
