If you were on the internet on February 26, 2015, you saw The Dress.

Where were you the first time you heard the words “bath bomb?” What about “10-step skin care routine?” Perhaps you have, at some point, canceled plans in order to “unplug,” drink some tea, and take a bit of “me time.” Maybe you’ve ordered an assortment of candles meant to combat anxiety and stress or booked […] Read more ›

The past decade was filled with so many unexpected turning points: moments big and small that we now understand to be truly important.

On the second day of the 2020 Armenia-Azerbaijan war, the Armenian military posted a video of one of its surface-to-air missile systems shooting down a surprising enemy aircraft: an Antonov AN-2 biplane. As it turned out, it wasn’t a sign of desperation on Azerbaijan’s part that its military was flying a plane first produced in […] Read more ›

Every year, the staff at Vox’s Future Perfect section makes predictions for events we think are likely to happen (or not happen) in the year ahead. Big deal, right? Reporters and pundits make predictions all the time. What we think sets our efforts apart from the usual journalistic prognostication is that we put a numerical […] Read more ›

In 1966, Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood all but created the true crime genre. Nearly 50 years later, radio journalist Sarah Koenig decided the case of a Baltimore high school student, Adnan Syed, convicted of murdering his teenage ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee, needed a second look. With its high production values, conversational style, and a […] Read more ›

It’s an awful feeling: Damp with sweat, your skin sticks to the sheets as you lie awake, seemingly for hours, in a bedroom that’s just too hot. Excessive heat is indeed bad for sleep. It disrupts our body’s natural cool-down process that helps us sleep. But luckily for many of us, we can crank up […] Read more ›

Mexico is poised to elect its first woman president today, likely climate scientist and former Mexico City mayor Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. But as the protégée of current President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, she hasn’t significantly differentiated herself from the populist leader, especially in the areas where AMLO, as the current president is nicknamed, has failed […] Read more ›

The recent epic drama between Kendrick Lamar and Drake may have made the brutal diss track trendy again, but in the pop realm, indirect shade-throwing seems to be the order of the day.

Former President Donald Trump hasn’t said much publicly about the war in Gaza, despite implementing hardline pro-Israel policies while he was in office. But what he has said has put him squarely in line with a GOP base that is beginning to lose interest in the war, even as it maintains support for Israel. And […] Read more ›

Donald Trump became America’s most prominent felon on Thursday, when a New York jury convicted him on 34 charges of falsifying business records. That verdict has proven predictably controversial.

Major League Baseball has officially added players’ stats from the Negro Leagues to its historical record, a move that allows Black players’ contributions to be credited alongside their white counterparts. Previously, Negro Leagues’ players were omitted from these archives, meaning the records they set were not acknowledged by the MLB, essentially erasing their successes.
