Air conditioners have been working overtime this hot summer, from those tiny window units to the massive AC towers that serve the tightly packed apartment buildings in major cities. And while they bring the relief of cool air, these contraptions also create the conditions for dangerous bacteria to multiply and spread. One particularly nasty bacteria-borne […] Read more ›

When Lolita first appeared 70 years ago, in 1955, it was so controversial that no American publisher was willing to touch it. Today, Lolita is hailed as a classic, a masterpiece, one of the great novels of the English language. Yet Lolita also comes with a sense that it is still, perhaps, too controversial to […] Read more ›

Spectrum WT v. Wendler is one of the easiest First Amendment cases the federal courts heard this year — or in any other year. The question is whether a government official can ban drag shows. The obvious answer to this question is no. The government cannot ban drag for the same reason it cannot ban […] Read more ›

Ukrainian forces still control 2,550 square miles of the eastern Ukrainian region known as the Donbas, an area roughly the size of Delaware. For many, including President Donald Trump, who met with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday at the White House, that might seem like a small price to pay for ending a war […] Read more ›

If you’ve been following American politics in the Trump era, there’s a decent chance you’ve heard of “the New Right.” It’s a loose movement of radical intellectuals who share a basic hostility to American liberal democracy. They all think the system is rotten, that it needs to be fundamentally overhauled, and that Donald Trump can […] Read more ›

Seemingly out of nowhere, a pale green drink has become a staple in my life. In recent months, the matcha latte has become my primary source of energy throughout the day and my favorite indulgence at night. I order it at coffee shops without missing a beat. I take “aesthetic” photos of the milk swirling […] Read more ›

A few weeks ago, Explain It to Me — Vox’s weekly call-in podcast — went on a field trip to our local Whole Foods supplement aisle, where there were powders and pills and tinctures galore. These supplements promised to do everything from reducing wrinkles, to maintaining focus, to keeping your gut biome intact. But how […] Read more ›

For all the talk of a new, lasting multiracial coalition that helped elect Donald Trump, there are clues that this support may be wavering, particularly among Latino voters. Polls show the president’s approval rating with this group has plummeted since the last election, and a third of Latinos who voted for him say they are […] Read more ›

It’s a question, a lingering suspicion that has bedeviled nearly every generation: Are the kids these days getting more rude, more brash, more grossly unapologetic? “We have stories of Emily dealing with this question, we have stories of our grandmother dealing with this question,” says Lizzie Post, the great-great-granddaughter of etiquette maven Emily Post and […] Read more ›

Goodbye MSBNC, and hello “MS NOW.” In an announcement that has triggered widespread befuddlement and mockery, the progressive cable news network is getting rebranded. The new name isn’t meant to call to mind Microsoft or the honorific “Ms.” Instead, in the style of congressional bill-naming, MS NOW is purportedly an acronym for the following mouthful: […] Read more ›

The Trump administration is worried, it would seem, about eagles — like, the big birds of prey with sharp talons and famously good eyesight. Earlier this month, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who oversees endangered species, wrote on X that wind-energy projects kill eagles, including the iconic bald eagle, and his agency would work to protect […] Read more ›

Donald Trump’s federal takeover of Washington, DC’s police force — which looks like something between an authoritarian power grab and an empty stunt — doesn’t look like a political winner at first glance. A poll from YouGov last week showed little support for Trump’s move; 34 percent of respondents approved of the idea, and 47 […] Read more ›

Polling is “90% bullshit.” In fact, all political data is “garbage.” The Democratic consultants who traffic in such numbers are perpetrating a “scam” against their own party and are largely responsible for President Donald Trump’s victories. Instead of trying to gauge public opinion through pseudo-scientific surveys, Democrats should mostly just read history and the classics. […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump’s administration is scrutinizing higher education. Last week, the White House issued a memorandum requiring all universities receiving federal funds to submit admissions data on all applicants to the Department of Education. The goal is to enforce the 2023 Supreme Court decision that ended race-based affirmative action. Days before the memo was released, […] Read more ›

Today, around 8,200 or so Americans will turn 21. Which means, of course, they will become eligible to engage in that time-honored habit of adulthood: drinking alcohol. (I’m sure absolutely none of them did so before they turned 21. I certainly did not, or at least, would not admit to doing so in this piece, […] Read more ›
