Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old Democratic congressional primary winner who simultaneously rouses feelings of inspiration and deep inadequacy within my young, icy heart, will not be the sole Democrat on the November ballot in her district. Instead, 20-year incumbent Joseph Crowley, whom she beat in an…

The Illinois House voted on Wednesday to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, following approval last month in the state Senate. The state is now the 37th to do so, following Nevada in 2017. What this means is that we’re now one state away from maybe enshrining women’s equal rights in the United States Constitution, a…

Though I am not one, I share a trait with all straight men. That is: there is a place in my heart reserved for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, a certain curiosity about his strong (to the point of life-threatening) physical abilities. (To quote one of the many Rampage trailers and a scene of gratuitous violence in the…

Hours after infirm, irony-resistant Senator John McCain cast a decisive vote in favor of debating destroying health care access for sick and injured people on Tuesday, that discussion kicked off with a firm rejection of Republican policy.

Kelly Chopard writes her “Dear Kelly” advice column for a teen magazine in Singapore called Teenage. In the November issue, her advice for a girl who said she was raped was more of a conclusion: “You acted like a girl who has been around.”

Well, over in the U.K. Poldark finally reached that episode that had folks worried and let’s just say they didn’t exactly sail over the hurdle. Please proceed with caution, however: this is about Sunday night’s episode on the BBC—if you’re watching in the U.S. on PBS, this episode is still about a month out—so,…

Last year, a movie called Operator was released. Or perhaps it was just made on a dare and not distributed, as I had not heard of it until a few minutes before beginning this post. It is about a 911 operator with a confusing accent (Mischa Barton) who gets caught up in an explosive game of dumb cat and dumber mouse…

There are few names more famous than that of ill-fated French queen Marie Antoinette. Her legacy is so powerful that she occupies a surprisingly large, thoroughly wacky swath of the stock photography universe.

Planned Parenthood has filed suit against Indiana for a new anti-abortion law, arguing that it’s blatantly unconstitutional. The law, signed by Governor Mike Pence in March, prevents abortions based on genetic abnormalities and stipulates that aborted fetuses must be buried or cremated.

Oh my god?

Is it possible that a bookstore clerk once dreadfully wronged Jeff Bezos? Because a rumor that Amazon might open more IRL, brick-and-mortar bookstores threw everyone into such a tizzy that it seems worth asking whether this has been some Count of Monte Cristo situation all along.

The premise of Jane the Virgin centers around a young woman who becomes pregnant after being artificially inseminated accidentally. If you can believe it, almost this exact conundrum occurred in real life when a woman was mistakenly implanted with another couple’s embryo.

One of the ways Don Lemon attempts to justify regularly going on television and embarrassing both himself and the concept of intelligence, is by essentially shrugging his shoulders and grumbling, “I’m just asking.”

If you’re running some really elaborate long con that requires you to fake a pregnancy with convincing verisimilitude, you should probably know about FakeaBaby.com. They’ve got it all—fake bellies, fake sonograms, fake DNA tests. Though they swear up and down it’s all in good fun!

An unidentified woman has been cited in Everett, Washington after a concerned citizen called 911, terrified that the woman was rolling along the highway with an unrestrained child on her lap. State troopers responding to the call found something even more surprising than a mom letting a kid play driver: she was…

Brightening up an unending onslaught of dull status-symbol jewelry, this limited edition David Yurman collection of “Bubblegum Pinky Rings” is available for pre-sale today online, and in stores September 1.

1. Her pompadour.

North Yorkshire cops recently pulled over a man for a talking-to about his bald tires. They discovered that he was driving around with a sheep for company. That car must’ve smelled just great.

On Friday, the Michigan judge who ordered three children to juvenile detention for refusing to see their father reversed her decision. In late June, Judge Lisa Gorcyca of Oakland County held three children, aged 9, 10, and 15 in civil contempt, likening them to “Charlie Manson and the cult that he has.” Gorcyca told…
