Getty ImagesIt sounds too good to be true, but there’s serious science behind the hypothesis. If I told you psychedelics might help people with everything from depression to blindness to anorexia to autism to stroke, you might think that’s just pure hype. Fair enough.

Justice Clarence Thomas (right) laughs. | Win McNamee/Getty ImagesThe justices are threatening to put themselves in charge of every single federal agency. They should resist that temptation.

Oli Scarff/Getty ImagesIt’s called “Calendargate,” and it’s raising the question of what — and whom — the right-wing war on “wokeness” is really for. While most people were enjoying the holidays, extremely online conservatives were fighting about a pinup calendar. Last month, Ultra Right Beer — a company founded as a conservative alternative to allegedly woke Bud Light — released a 2024 calendar titled “Conservative Dad’s Real Women of America... Read more ›

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin at the Pentagon on December 4, 2023. | Win McNamee/Getty ImagesWhy it’s a big deal that the president didn’t know his defense secretary was in the hospital for three days. Even the most powerful people in the world are still humans with bodies and families. They sometimes need to take time off, whether for medical reasons, personal matters, or just to recharge.

Vox/Everett Collection; Bantam BooksLeon Uris’s bestselling epic Exodus — and its hit movie adaptation starring Paul Newman — influenced generations of Americans, from the suburbs to the State Department. When I was 12 or 13, I found a copy of Leon Uris’s 1958 novel Exodus in my synagogue’s library. I stood amid the shelves, surreptitiously reading a sex scene (did the book just fall open right to it, the way... Read more ›

Stephanie Keith/Getty ImagesWhat the tranche of recently unsealed court documents contains.
