George W. Bush is selling an art book full of—there’s no way you’ll guess this—portraits of immigrants. This may sound like the set-up to a probably not-so-funny joke at a stand-up set, but in an even more disappointing twist, it’s actually real. That’s right, the man who is responsible for the Iraq war has decided…

The Daily Mail reports that New York City’s wealthy Upper East Side neighborhood has seen a 286% increase in robberies over the past four weeks. During this same time period last year, there were only 14 robberies reported in the neighborhood—this year, there were 27. Data shows that reports of robberies are also on…

At a public meeting in Leelanau County, Michigan on Tuesday, a road commissioner casually used the n-word while making excuses for not wearing a mask. Is it a stretch to use racism to excuse unnecessarily putting other people’s health at risk during a pandemic? Perhaps. But a racist will always find a way.

Revlon announced on Thursday morning (after posting a couple of very obvious teaser videos on their social media accounts the day before), that up-and-coming rapper Megan Thee Stallion is their newest brand ambassador. This news comes on the heels of a busy week for Megan—not only is she one of the cover stars of Varie…

As my colleague Ashley Reese wrote last April, the National Rifle Association is “a broke bitch.” The organization’s money troubles, reporters have unearthed, seem rooted in the fact that the NRA is less an organization that exists to advocate for the rights of gun enthusiasts and more one designed to make its…

Until quite recently, I hadn’t finished a book since the end of January. In that sense, I’m not so unusual—a 2018 study from the Pew Research Group revealed 24 percent of Americans hadn’t read an entire book, or even a portion of one, in the 12 months prior—but this is very unusual for me, a person who touts nine…

Michelle Obama just keeps giving us more reasons to love her—mostly because of her innate empathy (you should try it, it’s delicious) and her increasing transparency since leaving the White House and publishing her instantly bestselling 2018 memoir, Becoming. In her newly launched Michelle Obama Podcast, she’s…

In many Latinx families, two household items strike fear into the heart of anyone who sees them: la correa y la chancla. In English, this is the belt and the slipper, and Latinx children are often disciplined by being beaten with either or both. This shared traumatic upbringing is sufficiently common that “la chancla”…

At the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix, a race shortened by tragedy, Lella Lombardi became the first woman to ever score points in Formula One. She is one of two female drivers to have started a race and one of five to have entered. Today, 45 years later, she still remains the most successful woman to ever contest the series.

This is TV Time Capsule, our chance to revisit moments that defined a genre, era, or generation. In each episode, we’ll take a critical look at a show, theme, or entertainer to relive the absurdity of pre-streaming programming.

Internet hype in the early days of lockdown suggested that to exist under quarantine was to be ravenously horny. True as it may have been for some, results of a Kinsey Institute study published at the end of June in the journal Leisure Sciences suggests that people’s sex lives have taken a hit in lockdown.

Two weeks ago, WeWoreWhat founder Danielle Bernstein was accused of stealing a mask design from the small Latina-owned brand By Second Wind. Fashion industry watchdogs Diet Prada acquired what appeared to be private messages between Bernstein and the small business, in which Bernstein asked for two masks with…

Three of Bon Appétit’s most beloved video stars, Priya Krishna, Rick Martinez, and Sohla El-Waylly, announced on Thursday that they will no longer appear in videos following failed contract negotiations for video appearances.

“The Harley Quinn animated series is excellent and you must watch it,” is a sentence I would have ignored just months ago, before I watched several episodes of said series. Previously, I had no attachment to this Harley Quinn character, and little understanding of her beyond knowing that director Kevin Smith named his…
