Grocery retailers would like to make an announcement: They’re listening to customers and lowering their prices. The news that Target plans to cut prices on about 5,000 everyday items — things like bread, milk, and diapers — made an especially big splash last week. But the big-box retailer wasn’t alone. In early May, grocery chain […] Read more ›

There are many things that are unique about the United States of America, like our love of guns, really big cars, and archaic systems for electing a president. But one that tends to get overlooked is our love of college sports. And do we ever love them. There are over 520,000 college athletes in the […] Read more ›

Sometime in the next month, the Supreme Court could grant permission for cities to more easily criminalize people experiencing homelessness. Some are eagerly awaiting that permission. In April, Donald Trump released a video declaring that if he were president, he’d ban outdoor camping in most places, erect sanctioned campsites for “treatment,” and send people to […] Read more ›

For most of advertising history, “red” or “blue” as partisan loyalty signaled more your taste for Coke or Pepsi than your identity as Republican or Democrat. Mass markets, by definition, necessitated selling to both sides of the aisle. As with so much else, the presidency of Donald Trump — built upon a self-conceived human brand […] Read more ›

The WNBA’s new season is off to a meteoric start, in just one sign of the momentum women’s sports currently have. In the first five WNBA games that have aired on ESPN, average viewership topped 1 million people and surpassed last year’s average by 226 percent, reports the AP’s Doug Feinberg. In-person audiences are up […] Read more ›

On Sunday, an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza city of Rafah ignited a fire that killed dozens of civilians. The carnage was horrific even by the bloody standards set by Israel’s war: An emergency doctor on the ground told NPR that it was “one of the most horrific massacres to have occurred in recent days […] Read more ›

The 2024 Indian election is the largest in world history: Nearly 1 billion people are eligible to cast their ballots. Administering such a giant election is an immensely difficult task, especially in a middle-income country where poverty remains all too common. There are dozens of different parties on the ballot, with all sorts of different […] Read more ›

The story of the 2024 election is looking deeply strange. Donald Trump boasts a small but significant lead over Joe Biden in national polls, while also besting the president in most surveys of battleground states. By itself, this is less than shocking. Voters have long disapproved of the president, lamented inflation, and expressed more faith […] Read more ›

Every American knows what the CIA is. I would guess that maybe 1 in 1,000 have ever heard of INR — the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, American diplomats’ in-house intelligence agency. But if you do know about INR, you probably know two things: INR is the Cassandra of American intelligence, and it […] Read more ›

Donald Trump is speaking out of both sides of his mouth on abortion. On the one hand, Trump frequently claims credit for the Supreme Court’s decision eliminating the constitutional right to an abortion — and well he should, since the three Republicans he appointed to the Supreme Court all joined the Court’s 2022 decision permitting […] Read more ›

It wasn’t just the free shrimp that tanked Red Lobster. The Orlando-based seafood chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week citing $1 billion in debt, according to court filings. The company announced the closure of dozens of stores nationally, with plans to sell company assets — including auctioning interior furniture and kitchenware. The announcement […] Read more ›

Just like the opening of Jennifer Lopez’s movie musical This Is Me… Now — where the multihyphenate’s unnamed character and the mysterious love of her life (played by and representing Ben Affleck) are thrown from a motorcycle in a crash that symbolically breaks her heart — the real Jennifer Lopez might be on the verge […] Read more ›

Much like “is a hot dog a sandwich” or “does not liking Taylor Swift mean you hate women” (no and no), “sundress season” is one of those things that sparks perennial debate on the internet. The term entered the popular imagination in 2010, when an episode of How I Met Your Mother had Barney (Neil […] Read more ›

What happens when we die? I’ve always been a cold, hard materialist on this one: the brain shuts down, consciousness fades away, and the lights go out. And beyond that, what else is there to say? I had no experience of life before I was born and I expect to have no experience of life […] Read more ›

If you’re an American looking to make some money betting on future elections, I have some bad news. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission, the federal agency tasked with regulating financial products like derivatives, has voted 3-2 for a proposal to ban “event contracts” on elections, but also on sports and on events like the Oscars.

George Miller’s Fury Road prequel Furiosa has a lot riding on it — not just the titular character’s war rig, but also her entire feminist legacy. The main appeal of Miller’s Mad Max universe has always been its intense dieselpunk worldbuilding, but with 2015’s Fury Road, the series gained an infusion of new energy and […] Read more ›

One TikTok creator told viewers it took her six years to “fix her hormones” after stopping birth control. Another cut up a pack of birth control pills that she said “ruined me as a person.” A third called it “one of the most damaging things you can put in your body.” Hormonal contraception is getting […] Read more ›

It’s not that Sammy didn’t like Natalie at first. She was nice enough. It was only after Natalie started dating Sammy’s best guy friend and roommate, Dan, that things got tense. Sammy, Natalie, and Dan were part of the same grad school cohort when Natalie and Dan got together. Sammy, now 33, got the sense […] Read more ›

Six years ago, the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy at the southern border went into effect. Thousands of immigrant families were split up; migrant children were taken and kept separately while their parents awaited prosecution. The images and sounds of caged children stunned the nation, and the outcry was swift: Democrats rallied against then-President Donald […] Read more ›

The worst thing to happen to very good television shows is when they run out of things to say. Telling a good story and what fans and network executives want (more show) are forces often at odds with one another, and I’ve watched more than a few of my favorite shows crumble under the pressure […] Read more ›
