Giving to charity is great, not just for the recipients but for the givers, too. But it can be intimidating to know how to pick the best charity when there are thousands of worthy causes to choose from, and especially when so many are suffering around the world. Yet that suffering makes it all the […] Read more ›

Much like “is a hot dog a sandwich” or “does not liking Taylor Swift mean you hate women” (no and no), “sundress season” is one of those things that sparks perennial debate on the internet. The term entered the popular imagination in 2010, when an episode of How I Met Your Mother had Barney (Neil […] Read more ›

What happens when we die? I’ve always been a cold, hard materialist on this one: the brain shuts down, consciousness fades away, and the lights go out. And beyond that, what else is there to say? I had no experience of life before I was born and I expect to have no experience of life […] Read more ›

If you’re an American looking to make some money betting on future elections, I have some bad news. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission, the federal agency tasked with regulating financial products like derivatives, has voted 3-2 for a proposal to ban “event contracts” on elections, but also on sports and on events like the Oscars.

George Miller’s Fury Road prequel Furiosa has a lot riding on it — not just the titular character’s war rig, but also her entire feminist legacy. The main appeal of Miller’s Mad Max universe has always been its intense dieselpunk worldbuilding, but with 2015’s Fury Road, the series gained an infusion of new energy and […] Read more ›

One TikTok creator told viewers it took her six years to “fix her hormones” after stopping birth control. Another cut up a pack of birth control pills that she said “ruined me as a person.” A third called it “one of the most damaging things you can put in your body.” Hormonal contraception is getting […] Read more ›

It’s not that Sammy didn’t like Natalie at first. She was nice enough. It was only after Natalie started dating Sammy’s best guy friend and roommate, Dan, that things got tense. Sammy, Natalie, and Dan were part of the same grad school cohort when Natalie and Dan got together. Sammy, now 33, got the sense […] Read more ›

Six years ago, the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy at the southern border went into effect. Thousands of immigrant families were split up; migrant children were taken and kept separately while their parents awaited prosecution. The images and sounds of caged children stunned the nation, and the outcry was swift: Democrats rallied against then-President Donald […] Read more ›

The worst thing to happen to very good television shows is when they run out of things to say. Telling a good story and what fans and network executives want (more show) are forces often at odds with one another, and I’ve watched more than a few of my favorite shows crumble under the pressure […] Read more ›

Buying concert tickets is a drag, as Taylor Swift fans know all too well. When tickets first went on sale for her highly anticipated Eras Tour in November 2022, fans agonized over hours-long queues and frozen screens before Ticketmaster’s website ultimately crashed. Many failed to procure tickets, which were ultimately sold on the secondary market […] Read more ›

The Supreme Court handed down a 6-3 decision along party lines on Thursday, which represented its fullest endorsement of partisan gerrymandering to date. In the past, legal restrictions on racial gerrymandering — maps drawn to minimize the voting power of a particular racial group, rather than the power of a political party — had the […] Read more ›

Google’s shift toward using AI to generate a written answer to user searches instead of providing a list of links ranked algorithmically by relevance was inevitable. Before AI Overview — introduced last week for US users — Google had Knowledge Panels, those information boxes that appear toward the top of some searches, incentivizing users to […] Read more ›

Artificial intelligence has long been hailed as a great “equalizer” of creativity, finally putting the ability to create art in all of its myriad forms into the hands of the tech-savvy. Not a creative person? Not an issue. “The reason we built this tool is to really democratize image generation for a bunch of people […] Read more ›

It’s one the bitterest messages you can get: A sterile form letter telling you that you’re getting dumped. And when it’s from your insurance company, it’s clear that it’s not them — it’s you. Even if you’ve always picked up the check, never made a claim, and kept your home in order, they think you’ve […] Read more ›

You’re in a crowd of tens of thousands of fellow fans. The band starts playing your favorite song. Everyone screams. You will never, ever forget this moment. Seeing a musician you adore live can be a transcendent experience. But getting to that moment has become a nightmare because getting tickets that won’t completely bankrupt you […] Read more ›

On Friday, Vox reported that employees at tech giant OpenAI who wanted to leave the company were confronted with expansive and highly restrictive exit documents. If they refused to sign in relatively short order, they were reportedly threatened with the loss of their vested equity in the company — a severe provision that’s fairly uncommon […] Read more ›

If a guy told you his favorite sci-fi movie is Her, then released an AI chatbot with a voice that sounds uncannily like the voice from Her, then tweeted the single word “her” moments after the release… what would you conclude? It’s reasonable to conclude that the AI’s voice is heavily inspired by Her. Sam […] Read more ›

Dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain, used to be neuroscience jargon — something you’d read about in a biology textbook. But today, dopamine has become a cultural catch-all, shorthand for focus, yearning, and joy. Scroll through TikTok or sit next to a Silicon Valley software engineer at a dinner party, and you’ll be bombarded […] Read more ›

A number of statements from US officials over the past three months have been raising ominous warnings about a Russian plan to put an alarming new weapon into space.

I met Raqib Naik, a journalist who had fled his native India, at a coffee shop in suburban Maryland. We sat at the same metal table where he once discussed the prospect of his assassination with FBI agents. Naik is a Muslim from Jammu and Kashmir, India’s only Muslim-majority state.
