As Donald Trump’s reelection hopes continue to sink, some Republicans are pushing for him to take up the mantle of their culture war against trans people as a winning strategy—and this time, focusing the laser beams of their bigotry on trans kids, whose lives the Trump administration has already tried very hard to…

Summer music is music best enjoyed in the company of other sweaty bodies pressed against yours—in a dark bar, a crowded backyard, or the privacy of your own home. This summer, we are not allowed to press our bodies against strangers and so it feels quite rude of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion to release “WAP” into…

The Bachelorette’s Becca Kufrin—known from season 14 of the show, also from being completely devastated by ex-fiancé and Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr.—and fiancé Garrett Yrigoyen have broken up after two years together, according to E! News. That can only mean one thing: she’s finally free!

Bob Jones University’s intolerance for alcohol consumption clearly outweighs any intolerance to sexual assault, given that the university expelled a student for drinking off-premises, after reporting an assault at a nearby college.

For a little while post-Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner dated a normie named John Miller. Now Jennifer Garner and that person have split up, or maybe are just pivoting from a Relationship to a more realistic, casual, “we can still bone if we want, but otherwise, IDK, I’m kinda busy this month” situationship? Let’s see.

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…

These memes don’t interrogate what it actually means for a child to be threatened with physical harm for disobedient behavior,

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.
