Ultimately, public-health agencies encouraging people to take whatever steps they can to improve their health will have a dramatic effect during the next pandemic.
Reid Hoffman on Friday responded to President Trump’s order to launch an investigation against him and other Democrats in relation to their connection with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “The call for an investigation is an obvious ploy to avoid releasing the files. Simply release all the files, and expose the people who had both...
President Trump on Friday said he has "no idea" what was analyzed when he underwent an MRI during his physical examination last month, potentially raising more questions about some secrecy surrounding the president's health. "I have no idea what they analyzed," Trump told reporters on Air Force One while en route to his Mar-a-Lago resort....
Disney and YouTubeTV announced a carrier deal late Friday that will restore ABC, ESPN and the media conglomerate's other content to the Google-owned streaming service. The deal came after a two-week standoff between the pair of media giants that left an estimated 10 million YouTubeTV subscribers without access to top college football and NFL games...
Riot police clashing with demonstrators in Belgrade and other cities have defined Serbia’s turbulent summer. What began last November as a product of anger over corruption and collapsing infrastructure has become a broader protest movement against Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić’s rule. Students are demanding free elections and accountability, but the government has responded with riot […]
When President Donald Trump announced an executive order last month to prosecute those who burned the American flag, he reignited an intraconservative argument about First Amendment protections and Supreme Court precedent. On Aug. 25, the president proudly unveiled a new order called “Prosecuting Burning of the American Flag.” According to the president, the order was […]
The 2025 college football season got underway with a highly entertaining and hard-fought battle in Dublin last month, featuring the Iowa State Cyclones outlasting the Kansas State Wildcats 24-21. These two Big 12 schools have played each other every year since 1917 in a game known as Farmageddon, a tribute to the two schools’ well-known […]
Unless you are a major Sinophile or one of those wayward souls who monitor box office receipts like day traders monitor the Japanese futures market (ahem), you likely haven’t heard of the highest-grossing animated film of all time. Ne Zha 2, an animated partial retelling of the 16th-century Chinese folk novel Investiture of the Gods, […]
I could fill a whole article with stories. The time a manager locked the front door at a sprint lest a tour bus swamp us a minute before closing. The time a young black co-worker startled everyone by refusing to “wait on [her] own kind.” The time I stole a sausage patty from a customer’s […]
Notwithstanding its title, Harvard professor and New Yorker writer Jill Lepore’s new book, We The People: A History of the U.S. Constitution, is not a history of the Constitution but of constitutional amendments — that is, of efforts to change the Constitution. And the reason that the subject interests her is that she doesn’t think […]
Before it was swamped by weird and lurid images, bizarre and titillating video clips, and offensive or obscurantist memes, the internet produced what may be the final flowering of literary culture. Emails, forum threads, blogs, and even tweets and status updates were mostly text. More writing was produced in the early years of the 21st […]
Josh Naylor weighs 235 pounds and runs with a sprint speed of 24.5 feet per second, ranking 532nd out of 546 measured MLB players. He’s built like a beer-league softball cleanup hitter, the kind of stocky first baseman who looks like he should be managing a car dealership, not stealing bases. And yet, in his […]
John Grisham’s The Rainmaker started life as a novel (1995), became a film by Francis Ford Coppola (1997), and is now a television series on USA and Peacock. Somewhere, creative teams are readying a rock opera and a Saturday morning cartoon. The new show is better described as an homage to the book and movie […]
It has begun to dawn on Americans that our vacation from history has ended, and a new Cold War is upon us. It will not be fought only in the trenches of Donbass, in the naval provocations of the South China Sea, or even in the scramble for raw materials that drives economies. It will also be […]
SCRANTON, Pa. — This Pennsylvanian city has long been lauded as the “home of” several Democrats running for higher office statewide: Bob Casey, the late governor, and his son, the former Sen. Bob Casey Jr., and Hillary Clinton’s father, Hugh Rodham. Hillary was baptized here and spent her summers as a child on Lake Winola, located about 15 miles […]
I am on a lively, fun group text chat with some of my classmates at Princeton Theological Seminary, which is not a sentence I ever thought I’d write and probably not one you ever thought you’d read. But life is a rich tapestry, and you never know, do you? We share clips and memes and […]
In February, Vice President JD Vance made waves for his address at the 61st Munich Security Conference that raised threats to free speech in Europe. Citing various examples of governmental attacks on free speech, such as prosecution of silent prayer and online comments critical of feminism, Vance told European leaders that their own practices rejected […]
