Hunter Biden’s first trial, which began this week, isn’t about conservatives’ assertions that he’s at the center of some sprawling Biden family corruption saga. It’s instead focused on one specific messy incident: Hunter’s purchase of a gun in 2018. That year, Hunter had struggles with drug and alcohol addiction that are now well-documented, but when […] Read more ›

Of all the pillars of internet content, surely one of the strongest is the genre where people outline their morning routine in grave and sanctimonious detail.

About a month ago, I wrote about a viral book of “Lost” herbal remedies that had, at the time, sold 60,000 copies on the TikTok Shop despite appearing to violate some of the app’s policies on health misinformation.

Prior to the ongoing litany of allegations made against him for sexual assault and misconduct, actor Kevin Spacey was primarily known as a decorated Hollywood and stage veteran, a two-time Oscar winner, and the star of Netflix’s groundbreaking House of Cards.

Employees from some of the world’s leading AI companies published an unusual proposal on Tuesday, demanding that the companies grant them “a right to warn about advanced artificial intelligence.” Whom do they want to warn?

On Sunday, Trump wrote on Truth Social, his personal social media site, that the Supreme Court “MUST” intervene after a New York jury found him guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records.

I don’t remember looking for anything in particular when I opened TikTok one February evening. What I do remember was one video that dared me to examine my digital diet. “Check your TikTok screen time,” user @katherout challenged me. “Then check how many hours last week you actually hung out with your friends. It should […] Read more ›

A month ago, the genre-bending electronic musician FKA Twigs testified before the US Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, urging policymakers to protect artists from being exploited by AI, whether from using their voice to generate songs, copying their likeness to create pornography, or scraping their body of work for training data. Watching a C-SPAN2 […] Read more ›

If the basic test of whether a country remains a democracy is that the party in power can still suffer a setback at the ballot box, India passed on Tuesday.

Throughout his political career, Donald Trump managed to evade the law. It seemed possible that he always would. He was impeached twice but acquitted both times, and since leaving office, his team has been remarkably successful in delaying and undercutting the criminal cases against him. On Friday, that possibility was laid to rest 34 times […] Read more ›
