Louisiana doctors are asking a state legislator to reconsider last-minute amendments he made to a bill last week that would add medication abortion to the state’s controlled dangerous substances list. If passed, abortion pills would be criminalized and scheduled alongside drugs that are addictive, adding even more unnecessary stigma to the medication and further eroding the already precarious doctor-patient relationship in a state with a near-total abortion ban. “If it is incorrectly labeled as a...

On Tuesday, Stormy Daniels testified about her alleged, 2006 sexual encounter with Donald Trump, as part of the trial concerning the 34 felony charges he faces for allegedly paying her hush money ahead of the 2016 presidential election. And, based on everything I heard from Daniels today, I am reminded of the viral New York Times op-ed headline, "We Should All Know Less About Each Other." I don't blame Daniels—she was just doing her part for democracy by answering prosecutors' questions about everything that went down between her and Trump. Читать дальше...
On Monday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul stuck her whole foot (both feet, even!) in her mouth during a showcase of Empire AI—the multimillion-dollar consortium she's leading to create an AI computing center in upstate New York—while appearing at something called the Milken Institute Global Conference in California. For the record, The Milken Institute describes itself as a "nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank" so you can already imagine the remarks that were made...except for the fact that you can't...

There’s a moment early on in The Idea of You, where Nicholas-Galitzine-as-Hayes-Campbell is strutting around the Coachella stage, and he does something to his microphone that, to anyone who was a fan of One Direction circa 2013, feels positively unholy.

This week, Kristen Stewart appeared on the cover of PORTER magazine, and, as we've all come to expect of a KStew cover story, she looked super hot and said some very astute, deliciously acerbic things about Hollywood. The interview has Stewart mostly sounding off on movie-making, from the success of her latest film, Love Lies Bleeding ("I think we were shocked that we could even get this made") to the kinds of stories she suspects film-goers want to see ("I think maybe people wanna watch movies about, like, Jesus and dogs").

If the first Monday in May is reserved for the Met Gala, then the first Tuesday in May is reserved for wasting the first few hours of your workday scrolling through fashion slideshows and critiquing outfits that cost six months of your rent. But this morning, instead of asking “Who wore what?!” I’m curious about “Who wasn’t there!?!” There were a few notable absences from Anna Wintour’s $75,000 per person charity ball. The most glaring absence was the woman who makes the party worth scrolling through slideshows for: Rihanna. Читать дальше...
