Right now, millions of high school seniors are finalizing their college applications and anticipating where they’ll spend the next four years studying and sleeping on bunk beds.

Everyone you know is about to start putting their money where their mouth is. Prediction markets are booming.

Chloé Zhao’s lyrical, elegiac new film Hamnet, based on the novel by Maggie O’Farrell, has been an Oscars frontrunner since its festival release earlier this year.

It was not a particularly subtle gift, but as the recipient himself would probably admit, he’s never been a particularly subtle guy. When President Donald Trump arrived in South Korea last month, President Lee Jae Myung presented him with a bejewelled golden crown, a replica of one worn by ancient Korean rulers. The gift came […] Read more ›

America is out of the business of giving patronizing lectures to other governments about how to run their countries and trying to mold other societies in its own image… except for the countries of Western Europe. With little fanfare, the Trump administration released its long-awaited National Security Strategy Thursday night.

The federal government is ending its recommendation that every infant receive a hepatitis B vaccination at birth, the most substantive change to the childhood immunization schedule yet under US Health Secretary Robert F.

The Supreme Court reinstated a Texas gerrymander that is expected to give Republicans five additional seats in the US House on Thursday evening, after a lower federal court struck that gerrymander down.

The world’s second-largest fur producer is saying goodbye to fur. On Tuesday, Poland passed a law to phase out fur farms over the next eight years — a major blow to the global fur industry. In 2023, fur farmers in the Central European nation killed some three million foxes, minks, raccoon dogs, and chinchillas for […] Read more ›

If you’re lucky enough to enjoy a warm slice of cherry pie this holiday, you should probably thank this bird. It’s an American kestrel, the smallest falcon in North America, which is roughly the size of a blue jay.

In Bogotá’s historic downtown, a modest government building sits in the shadow of a gilded statue of SimĂłn BolĂvar, the 19th-century liberator who freed much of South America from Spanish rule. Inside, on the fourth floor, a manzana del cuidado, or care block, pulses with a different kind of revolution. On a bright October morning, […] Read more ›

Last year, California and Washington state banned farming octopuses for their meat, and bills have been introduced in seven other states — plus the US Senate — to do the same.

President Donald Trump this week announced a rollback of fuel economy standards for cars, undoing one of President Joe Biden’s signature climate policies.

Nearly a quarter century ago, in Atkins v. Virginia (2002), the Supreme Court held that it is unconstitutional to execute offenders with an intellectual disability.

Characters rescue immigrants from detention centers, bomb the office of an […] Read more ›
