If it’s peanuts and it’s butter? It’s probably edible. Having done all they could in the realm of arts and crafts for Wednesday’s…

Most women reading this have probably been called “difficult,” “bossy” or “impossible” at some point in their professional career (and likely in their everyday lives). It tends to happen when we do something totally out-of-hand like, oh, asserting ourselves in any way—something men are societally conditioned and…

In the midst of true crime’s boom, when people have hundreds of articles, prestigious TV shows, and shoddily reported podcasts to choose from to get their crime fix, Sarah Weinman’s new collection aims to cut through the noise. In the new book Unspeakable Acts: True Tales of Crime, Murder, Deceit, and Obsession,…

In 2018, a seemingly innocuous high school rom-com called The Kissing Booth became a Netflix hit with repeat viewership—an impressive feat, considering that Netflix never publishes its “ratings,” but did report to the New York Times that one in three viewers watched the film more than once.

Does nobody Google anymore? Is a basic trademark or incorporation search too tedious to endure? Or do big stars’ teams just figure they can easily eclipse small independent entities, so due diligence is simply drudgery?

It was only a matter of time. On Thursday, President Trump floated the idea of delaying the November presidential election, citing a lack of trust in the postal service (which his administration has been working diligently to fuck over) to adequately count mail-in ballots.

It is increasingly rare for the U.S. to come together over a common enemy (like, a global pandemic couldn’t even do that), but allow me to offer up David Tyler Hines. The 29-year-old Florida man applied for $13.5 million in taxpayer funds from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)—which sought to help small businesses…

Not all ’90s fashion was good—we can do without the frosted lips, thanks—but many of the decade’s trends have enjoyed a healthy comeback in the last few years, from high-waist mom jeans to chokers, to the classic long-sleeved-shirt-underneath-a-short-sleeved-tee combo. Of course, what’s ’90s revival without the…

Businessman and former Republican presidential candidate, Herman Cain, died Thursday following complications from covid-19. He was 74.

Dear Fuck-Up,

Since its inception in 2000, there has only been one star on O Magazine’s glossy cover: its owner, Oprah Winfrey.

According to Page Six, the August…

Kate Winslet is going to be the voice of Black Beauty in Disney Plus’s forthcoming film adaptation of the eponymous book. Personally, I think Winslet will do a lovely horse voice, and I mean that in the kindest way possible.

A cadre of Joe Biden’s supporters are trying to derail Kamala Harris’s candidacy for vice president, their grievances ranging from her ambition to their perception of her loyalty.

Matthew McConaughey, the human embodiment of a football being tossed on a nice spring day, is writing a memoir. But not just any memoir. An adventure memoir. According to AP:

When Lisa* met Adam* in graduate school, she thought she’d hit the dating jackpot. “He was very wealthy, very charismatic, and at first he was very charming,” she says. “He was constantly showering me with gifts, fancy dinners, and romanic nights out.
