Following their decision to acquire xoJane and Hello Giggles, Time Inc. has launched a website called Motto (tagline: “Words to live by”) “dedicated to empowering the next generation” of women.
Parenting media is mostly bullshit. It’s like mainstream beauty media, only with the added gravitas of being about, you know, the nurturing of the next generation. A list of the best strollers isn’t any different than a list of the best mascaras; like, all the versions basically work. Some are better, but they are…
Author and notorious hashtag creator Amber Rose is having a big week. After joining her exes Wiz Khalifa and Kanye West in of one of the most captivating Twitter fights since the service’s inception, she has published an op-ed in Time titled “How I Learned To Stop Caring What People Think.”
The clock turned back an hour early on Sunday morning as I happened to be checking my phone: I was tottering home in the East Village, miserable in my Halloween heels, wishing desperately for nothing other than my soft bed and the warm glow of my laptop. Great, I thought. An extra 60 minutes to berate myself for…
Queen Mother Tina Knowles Lawson, newly married, has written an open letter to her children—Beyoncé, Solange, Kelly Rowland and niece Angie and, in theory, the rest of us—for the occasion of mother’s day, at Time. It is a minor revelation.
In the midst of our ongoing and incredibly frustrating campus rape discussion, one odd fact keeps disappearing and reemerging from the conversation: sororities are formally prohibited from serving alcohol at official Greek events, while fraternities, um, serve quite a lot of it. Would allowing sororities to serve…
Last week, Time magazine held their fourth annual word banishment poll, in which readers can vote for the word they would like to remove from our modern lexicon. They decided to include the word "feminist" possibly as a critique of how ubiquitous and relevant the word has become (as if that's a bad thing?), a move…
Oh for God's sake: Time magazine is doing its annual reader poll of words and phrases that should be "banned" from the English language, and alongside worthy contenders like "disrupt" and "said no one ever," they've included the word "feminist." And because this is the Internet, guess which word is winning?
FYI readers of InStyle, Time, Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly and People: Time Inc. is officially being spun off from parent company Time Warner, leaving the publications' fates even more in flux. The new company is already $1.3 billion in debt and the editorial budget across all titles is being cut 25%, yet…
Ever wonder what the car exhaust and UV rays you soak up while walking to work and/or stuck in traffic are doing to your body? Bad news! They're very likely aging you before your time, just like your grueling work schedule and loud-ass neighbors.
In the lead up to the announcement of Time's 100 Most Influential People, it looked as though Laverne Cox really had a chance to make the list. She seemed to be getting a strong push online from lots of different quarters, but should she have been named to the list?
Things are getting pretty heated at the Time 100 Reader Poll. Indian politician Arvind Kejriwal sits at number one, with Katy Perry just behind him. Laverne Cox ousted Justin Bieber (fifth place) and now sits at the number three spot. Beyoncé sits at fourth, Benedict Cumberbatch at sixth, and Lupita Nyong'o at…
TIME should get it over with and change its name to TROL magazine already, because 1- seriously, that's all they do now, and 2- both TIME and TROL work as knuckle tats, and I think knuckle tat-ability should be considered more frequently in the naming of things.
Unless we're talking about pizza toppings or how much of a bottle of rosé we're drinking, can we just retire the phrase "having it all"? We were never exactly clear on its meaning to begin with, and it's only become increasingly hollow—most recently evidenced by the latest cover of Time that pegs it as "not having…
That shot with Arianna Huffington — that's totally what we would do.
Before this happened today and quickly because The Greatest Feud of Our Time, Tardar "Grumpy Cat" Sauce (right) and happy mutated accident Lil Bub (left) have been able to co-exist as two very different ridiculous Internet time-wasters for everyone to enjoy.
In a harried effort to outdo TIME's "breastfeeding toddler" cover, Newsweek unveiled the cover of this week's issue: the President on a backdrop of what appears to be outer space, head encircled by a rainbow halo. Underneath that, the headline "The First Gay President." Barack Obama's wife and daughters are going to…
Will Ferrell returned to SNL last night in an attempt to fan the embers of his dying movie career (he'll star opposite Zach Galifianakis in the latest movie with a baby-punching joke, The Campaign, surely not destined to be confused for a much better movie about politics, Election). Saturday Night Live has gotten…
