For more than four decades, technological progress has been undermining expert authority, democratizing public debate, and steering individuals toward ever-more bespoke conceptions of reality. In the mid-20th century, the high costs of television production — and physical limitations of the broadcast spectrum — tightly capped the number of networks. ABC, NBC, and CBS collectively owned […] Read more ›

The most unique thing about human beings is this: We are creatures who long to matter. That’s according to Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, the philosopher and author of a new book called The Mattering Instinct. If you’ve ever wondered why we humans are so singularly obsessed with discovering the meaning of life, this book — and […] Read more ›

One of the most acclaimed restaurants in the world, Noma, opened a pop-up in Los Angeles on March 11. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion for Noma head chef and co-founder René Redzepi and the staff, who relocated from Copenhagen, Denmark, for the sold-out 16-week stint. But Noma LA’s opening has been mired […] Read more ›

On February 9, 1970, Johnny Carson did something that would be unthinkable for a late night host today, or really anyone on TV: He gave a full hour of The Tonight Show to a Stanford professor. But Paul Ehrlich, the author along with his wife Anne of the blockbuster book The Population Bomb, was charismatic, […] Read more ›

Nancy Pelosi’s record of impact is undeniable. Over more than three decades in Congress, the San Francisco juggernaut is frequently cited among the effective legislative operators of her generation — the person who held together the votes for the Affordable Care Act, who twice ascended to the House speaker’s chair, and who built a fundraising […] Read more ›

Countless streets, parks, and schools across America are named for Cesar Chavez, the United Farm Workers union organizer and 1960s icon of Latino activism and the labor movement. There is even a holiday commemorating his life and legacy, on March 31, that is formally observed by four Western states (and less formally by many others): […] Read more ›

The Trump administration’s rhetoric on the war in Iran tends to be heavy on words like “lethality” and “obliteration,” so it was notable that the president seemed almost apologetic on Wednesday, when discussing an Israeli strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field, which prompted Iranian retaliation against natural gas facilities in Qatar and sent global […] Read more ›

In 2005, Barb Trammell gathered some friends for a charity basketball game to raise money for an old historic building in Lansing, Iowa. Abiding by the 1920s women’s 6-on-6 game rules created in her home state and donning the classic “bloomer” uniforms, the exhibition game of “Granny basketball” was a hit with locals. More than […] Read more ›

The gas prices are unmissable. Since the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28, Brent crude oil has surged past $100 a barrel for the first time in four years, briefly topping $119 on March 19. California drivers are paying over $5 a gallon, while gasoline prices in Japan hit a record […] Read more ›

When animals that aren’t native to an area harm the environment, we usually label them as invasive and consider them bad. State wildlife agencies spend tens of millions of dollars a year trying to eliminate them. That makes this fact peculiar: Those same agencies also regularly and purposefully release nonnative fish into the environment that, […] Read more ›

The war in Iran will enter its fourth week on Saturday, with no real end in sight. The Pentagon is reportedly requesting $200 billion to fund the ongoing military operation, even as it unsettles the world economy. Meanwhile, Iranians say that airstrikes are growing louder and more intense as the US and Israel pursue high-ranking […] Read more ›

The Trump administration’s end goals for the war in Iran, never particularly well-defined to begin with, appear to be narrowing. While President Donald Trump once spoke ambitiously about regime change and insisted that he should play a role in selecting Iran’s next supreme leader — similar to Delcy RodrĂguez in Venezuela — the White House now says […] Read more ›

The newest Bachelorette season is canceled, right on the cusp of its premiere — and it may inadvertently spell the end of the franchise. It probably should. This season was slated to debut on Sunday with Taylor Frankie Paul, star of the Hulu reality show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, in the title spot. […] Read more ›

Earlier this month, Texas state Rep. James Talarico eked out victory in a heated race to become Texas’s Democratic nominee for the US Senate race this November. Texans haven’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1988, and a lot of hopes are riding on Talarico’s longshot campaign to change that. But this week, an […] Read more ›

Maybe this has happened to you: Your doctor is talking to you about your health, saying you need a test or a medication, and suddenly your brain leaps to a question that has nothing to do with your medical needs: How much is this going to cost? Health care in America is too expensive. According […] Read more ›

Peaches are one of America’s most recognizable fruits. In the US, hundreds of thousands of tons are produced each year, and the fruit is closely tied to one place in particular: Georgia. The Georgia peach is on license plates, road signs, and even county names. But today, the state doesn’t grow the most peaches. Not […] Read more ›

It can be hard to make sense of James Fishback. The longshot Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate is the son of an immigrant and fiercely nativist, a self-proclaimed finance success story turned economic populist, and both pro-Trump and running against President Donald Trump’s chosen candidate. He’s also openly racist and antisemitic. But one thing is for […] Read more ›

I accepted the risk when I ordered a penguin from Argentina: Uncle Sam might tax it. It wasn’t one of the actual flightless birds; it was a green ceramic pitcher resembling a penguin with a curved handle and beak serving as a spout, often used to pour house wines at cheap bars in Buenos Aires.
