After several years of experimentation and giving the matter quite a bit of thought, I’ve reached a conclusion: The best snow day meal is the humble grilled cheese sandwich, accompanied by an absolutely essential bowl of tomato soup.

Buffy Sainte-Marie has spent more than 50 years at the center of the action, and outside of it. The indigenous Canadian singer-songwriter, a member of the Cree First Nation, was among the artists who comprised the much-mythologized Greenwich Village folk scene in the ‘60s, but her name is often left out among artists…

Luke Perry, who catapulted to stardom by playing Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills, 90201, died Monday morning, according to TMZ. The news comes less than a week after Perry was admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke.

Last year, Netflix delighted the emotional optimists and the cold-blooded cynics (me) alike with a Queer Eye reboot that was not only refreshingly modern and unavoidably woke, but also went well beyond the nostalgic trappings of most pop culture revivalism. It was so instantaneously charming, in fact, the streaming…

This is where the viral, much-celebrated trend of parents with infants contritely bestowing gifts upon fellow plane passengers has brought us: A mother of a four-month-old dispensing 200-plus sets of earplugs. Two hundred. For the entire freaking plane.

Wesley Yang has made his name as one of the preeminent Asian-American essayists in the country. In 2008, the literary journal n+1 published the piece that helped launch his career, “The Face of Seung-Hui Cho,” a soul-baring essay in which Yang explored his identification with the Korean-American man who shot and…

Sexual violence has “become an inescapable part of the collective migrant journey” for women who cross the border—and it doesn’t end once they enter the United States, as a new report from the New York Times makes painfully clear.

A federal judge in Brooklyn on Friday ruled that in the ongoing lawsuit against Moira Donegan, the creator of the Shitty Media Men list, plaintiff Stephen Elliott cannot sue her for intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, though he can still make a claim for defamation. According to a transcript,…

Pete Davidson and Kate Beckinsale are two grown adults in a romantic relationship—and they will shamelessly make out at hockey games and wherever else they damn well please, as is their right.

Donald Trump did not attend the Gridiron Club’s annual dinner, a hellish event during which journalists dine and apparently break into song with terrible politicians. Instead, he sent noted comedian Ivanka Trump to warm up the crowd on Saturday.

Lady Gaga fans are a curious crew of tenacious loyalists who also have a tendency to be the worst. According to BuzzFeed, some of the more organized Little Monsters proliferated a Starbucks scam to boost the position of “Shallow” on the Billboard Hot 100 in an attempt to get the A Star Is Born hit above its position…

Ahead of her trip to a school in Oklahoma, where Melania Trump will presumably end bullying as we know it, CNN’s Christi Paul asked the first lady’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham how she balances the anti-bullying message of her Be Best campaign “against some of the things that the president does.”

Welcome to 2019, where airlines are just beginning to see women flight attendants as people and not sexualized playthings that happen to come with the plane!

Two things can be true at once: 1) ‘Shallow’ is an incredible song that makes my skin stand up every time I hear it, and 2) it is time for A Star Is Born’s sun to set. I am adamant about that last point, as an American whose relationships with family members and beloved longtime friends are now fraught thanks to…

On Thursday, American Airlines apparently kicked a mother and her one-year-old son off of a flight after the crew noticed they both had a mysterious “rash.” Turns out that “rash” was an absolutely non-contagious rare genetic skin condition, the mother was humiliated, and the whole thing went down on Rare Disease Day!…
