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.

Bettors on prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi have wagered hundreds of millions of dollars on the current conflict in Iran. Which means lots and lots of folks are trying to get rich betting on wars. In the lead-up to the United States and Israel’s attack on Iran, prediction markets saw a frenzy of activity […] Read more ›

Over the last two decades, the availability of plant-based foods has exploded. You can get a meat-free patty in your Burger King Whopper if that’s your thing, buy realistic “chicken” nuggets at your local grocery store, or order marbled plant-based steak from food startups. But one animal-free food category has truly escaped containment from the vegan […] Read more ›

When Sam Altman first told her that he’d never let OpenAI go corporate, that what he and his colleagues were building was too powerful to be driven by investors, Catherine Bracy more or less believed him. The conversation took place in 2022, when Bracy, CEO and founder of the social mobility-focused nonprofit TechEquity, was interviewing […] Read more ›

In the early 1800s, in southwestern Germany, outbreaks of a mysterious illness spread throughout the countryside. People who came down with it had terrible symptoms. Their eyelids would droop. Their speech would slur. They’d be gripped by a paralysis that, once it reached their breathing muscles, could be fatal. A young doctor named Justinus Kerner […] Read more ›

For the past quarter century, the future of monarch butterflies has looked dire, with these iconic American insects flitting toward extinction. Now, however, there is at least a small reason for hope: New data from WWF Mexico, a large conservation group, offers further evidence that the decline of eastern monarchs — the world’s largest population — has […] Read more ›

This morning, Joe Kent — the director of the National Counterterrorism Center — resigned in protest over the war in Iran. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war,” he said in a resignation letter addressed to Trump and published on X. You’d think that a war critic like myself should welcome this development. The […] Read more ›

To its fiercest critics, “populism” is a politics of mindless resentment: The populist’s animating ambition is not to help people in general — or the downtrodden in particular — so much as to hurt some vilified elite. If afflicting the comfortable also requires discomforting the afflicted, so be it. Personally, I think this is wildly […] Read more ›

Where would humanity be without our mild delusion? Many of the technologies we take for granted, from the light bulb to iPhones, would cease to exist without relentless resolve. Stephen King, rejected dozens of times, persisted and became one of the world’s top-selling authors. Any entrepreneur maintains a bit of in the face of the staggering […] Read more ›
