Just when I’ve been craving a few good hits of a Juul now more than ever, it appears that the company is failing to secure overseas markets, meaning things are not boding well for the only vape I’ve ever loved.

Retail outlets were struggling to stay in business even before covid-19 came and decimated the economy. Now, the future of brick-and-mortar stores is looking bleaker than ever, with businesses unlikely to return at the same scale—or at least in the same form—in which they previously existed even once the virus dies…

Like the rest of us, Rihanna is getting up in age, and starting to think about her longterm plan. (Or maybe she’s being forced to think about her longterm plan because an interviewer at British Vogue asked her about it for the May cover story, and she had to come with with something):

I’m far from the first to point out how the covid-19 pandemic is exposing the gaping inequalities present in almost every crevice of our society. Every seemingly natural disaster, from hurricanes to a global pandemic, is at its core human-made, each tragedy and death the result of decisions made by our inept political…

It was a forgone conclusion that Delores (Evan Rachel Wood) was gearing up for mass revolt against the evil humans, but in “Absence of Field,” the third episode of Westworld’s third season, she states it explicitly, telling new friend Caleb Nichols (Aaron Paul) that she’s ready to enact a full-blown revolution and…

Republican governors and their administrations have seized onto the growing covid-19 pandemic to stop people from getting abortions, suspending “non-essential” medical procedures and (conveniently for them!) including abortions in that definition. On Tuesday, a coalition of reproductive rights organizations including…

Late last year, the clothing boutique Goodnight Macaroon hosted an “influencer retreat” in Portland, Maine, during which they invited a whole cabal of thigh-high boot-wearing balayages to wear their clothes in Instagram photos. One such photo depicted them linked arm-in-arm, their pearly whites glistening against…

When planning the 2020 season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, there was no way for RuPaul, producers, or hell, any of us, to know that by the time week five rolled around, the entire world would be trapped inside their homes, living off canned beans Monday through Friday, and rationing their week’s wine to budget a third glass…

Basketball icon and sneaker queen Sue Bird is turning 40 in 2021, if you can believe it—the same year in which the Olympics will now take place. Bird, who is signed as a point guard for the Seattle Storm (the WNBA schedule is still unknown due to coronavirus concerns), was predicted to be a key factor with Team USA…

New York has become the epicenter of coronavirus in the U.S, with at least 1,000 deaths and 60,000 confirmed cases in the state, according to the New York Times. During the month of March, every few days brought about restrictions for NY residents: stay inside, practice social distancing, only travel for essentials,…

Some things in life are so awful that I can never quite wrap my head around their existence. I can be aware of these things intellectually, I can know them to be real, but when I encounter them or think about them at any length, they surprise me every time with their enormity (or some facet of it). Child abuse is a…

On Monday, a Dutch museum announced that a painting by Vincent Van Gogh was missing after thieves broke into the building in an early-morning raid. Lentetuin, painted by Van Gogh in the spring of 1884, was on loan to the Singer Laren museum, which closed its doors earlier this month due to the risks of covid-19.

Last week, and largely because controlled low-stakes chaos and petty drama is a soothing balm right now, I embarked upon a quest that could ultimately tear the Jezebel staff apart—I decided to finally, after years of all of us tiptoeing around this verboten third rail, investigate the answer to this very important…

Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty (1877) is not often a novel that comes to mind when we think about Victorian literature. There are no youths entangled in agonized romantic longing, nor plucky orphans determined to distinguish themselves in a rapidly industrializing London, nor labyrinthine mysteries surrounding inherited…

President Trump is waging war against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. She fits the qualifications of the ideal Trump villain: She’s a Democrat, she’s a woman, and she declines to show the same deference towards him as most of his sycophants. But Trump’s disdain toward Whitmer isn’t just run-of-the-mill hostility…

Remember Drake? It’s been quite some time since you or I or anyone really thought about him, save that perpetual thirsting after Rihanna, or his tendency to believe he is a player for the Raptors. There was also that business with Pusha T in 2018, when he was accused of being a secret, deadbeat dad. Pusha T was later…
