BRASÍLIA, Brazil — André Borges’s aunt was pregnant when they took her. Borges, now 50, grew up under Brazil’s military dictatorship. In power from 1964–1985, the regime was violently censorial — banning any speech it deemed subversive or leftist. Borges’s aunt was arrested simply for owning a book by a Marxist author. Unlike many others, her […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump spent much of the past year engineering price increases, financial panics, and trade wars. Nonetheless, despite his best efforts, he is presiding over a pretty good economy.

Rev. Jesse Jackson — a titanic civil rights leader, politician, and activist — died on Tuesday at the age of 84. Over the course of a career that spanned decades, Jackson twice ran for president, in 1984 and 1988, though he later stepped back from electoral politics. To get a better sense of Jackson’s legacy […] Read more ›

Brazil’s former president was sentenced to 27 years in prison late last year for plotting a coup. The details may sound familiar: Jair Bolsonaro lost an election.

American democracy is not in a good place. Institutional breakdown and mistrust define our political moment. Polarization has broken our politics, and President Donald Trump has elevated fealty to him — as opposed to the Constitution — as the core principle of governance. And the American story is part of a global story. If the […] Read more ›

You come into a movie based on Wuthering Heights with certain expectations. Emerald Fennell has been clear that she considers her “Wuthering Heights” — pointed quote marks and all — to be a fantasia, not a straight adaptation of Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel. “It could only ever be an attempt to take a tiny piece […] Read more ›

In the 1930s, a radical conservative faction almost pushed Finland into full authoritarianism. Called the Lapua movement, it was a far-right group of Finns who sought to overthrow the republic, marginalize communists, and install an authoritarian government.

What is Grindr supposed to be? I’m not sure if this existential question is one that keeps anyone up at night, but with the recent announcement that the hookup app is rolling out EDGE, a $500 per month plan powered by “gAI” (pronounced gay-eye) technology, it’s an inquiry that came to my mind. I had […] Read more ›

Everything about the American economy right now feels weird. The hiring picture is weird; the stock market is weird; and AI infusion into work is very, very weird. But here’s a number that, if you think hard enough, is stranger — at least historically — than all the rest: 10.4 percent. That’s the share of […] Read more ›

If you watched the Super Bowl, you might have noticed that a lot of the ads were for weight-loss drugs. Even Serena Williams was selling them. That’s because demand for GLP-1s has skyrocketed over the last year, with users more than doubling from 2024. GLP-1s are relatively new and the industry is rapidly expanding, so […] Read more ›

If Joe Rogan is any indication, February 2026 may go down as the month that the Epstein files saga cemented itself as a lasting political liability for President Donald Trump and Republicans.

Games are often treated as trivial. They can be seen as mere distractions. At worst, they’re time-wasting indulgences. The philosopher C. Thi Nguyen thinks that framing is a big mistake. In his book The Score, Nguyen argues that games are one of the clearest windows we have into how human agency actually works. Games show […] Read more ›

Happy Valentine’s Day. Don’t let romance scams — which ramp up around the holiday and are at an all-time high — break your heart. These scams cost Americans $3 billion last year alone. That’s almost certainly an undercount, given victims’ particular reluctance to report that they’ve fallen for such ruses. Many romance scams fall under […] Read more ›

Few Democratic politicians have leaned into the fight against the Trump administration as aggressively as Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. While some blue-state leaders have tried to find a lane of compromise or quiet resistance, Pritzker has gone the other direction — signing laws to limit ICE operations in the state, creating the Illinois Accountability Commission […] Read more ›
