I finally got an AC, which means it’s time to stay indoors, baby.

Much has been said about how noted communist-adjacent Frida Kahlo would just loooove to see all the keychains and tote bags plastered with her face. But imagine what she would say if she could see how her likeness has been manipulated and used to sell “glowy” (!!!) “highlighter” (!!!!!).

Bringing up that men accused of sexual assault are “good guys” by means of defense is the oldest and most tired trope: The idea that men who come from “good families,” have “good jobs,” are students at a “good school,” are endowed with a “good reputation,” are certainly not rapists uses practically incomprehensible…

Bird-on-human attacks are on the rise, according to multiple sources from across the globe, including joggers in Denver, researchers in Vancouver, and one man in Wales who turned to his local government for help after his home was attacked by sea gulls. (The town council suggested using umbrellas as a shield.)

Criminal charges of indecent assault and battery have been dropped against Kevin Spacey, which stemmed from a July 2016 incident in which Spacey allegedly groped an 18-year-old busboy at a Nantucket bar.

Billionaires won’t save us, but that isn’t stopping Tom Steyer from trying to convince you otherwise!

Migrants at the border are facing increasingly nightmarish scenarios—sleeping on concrete and housed in centers with four showers for hundreds of people. The story of Sofi—a 3-year-old Honduran girl who was asked by Border Patrol to choose between her parents—is just one more example of how Trump-era policies are…

The small Texas town of Mineral Wells has no abortion clinics, but when mayor Christopher Perricone heard about Waskom, Texas—another Texas town with no abortion clinics that recently passed an ordinance to declare itself “a sanctuary city for the unborn”—he decided Mineral Wells should do the same.

This week, Senator Kamala Harris and Representative Pramila Jayapal are planning to introduce the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Act. If it passes into law, the bill could codify the workplace protections and standards that women of color in the industry have spent years organizing around; Harris’s camp says the…

R. Kelly was arrested in Chicago last Friday, and is facing a roster of charges including a 13-count federal indictment that includes child pornography, enticement of minors, and obstruction of justices charges. But there’s been some confusion about the status of two women, Jocelyn Savage and Azriel Clary, who had…

What will you do with your one wild and precious life? I’ve chosen to mainline iced coffee into my veins and sing “The Shape of You” at the top of my lungs in my apartment.

I don’t even know, but Mason was a great addition: Lil Nas X ft. Billy Ray Cyrus, Young Thug, and Mason Ramsey, “Old Town Road” - In June, I declared that “Old Town Road” will be the song of the summer. Now, the track has been the number one song in the country for 14 weeks straight, something only 10 songs have…

Diane Keaton is a wonderful spirit, but I worry about her from time to time. Keaton has said she has no friends, that she fancies herself the oldest single woman in America, and most recently, that she does not “mwah-mwah” (I have to assume here that means kissing). In a recent interview with InStyle, Keaton…

R. Kelly, who already faces charges of sexual abuse, was arrested in Chicago on Thursday evening, on a 13-count federal grand jury indictment. The indictment includes charges of child porn, enticement of a minor, and obstruction of justice, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office told the AP.

Anwar Hadid has a new tattoo, and it’s going to keep me up at night. The 20-year-old model talked to Vanity Fair on “a recent afternoon” about all of his body ink, and his brief and cryptic description of one of his newest ones has me scratching my head, turning my head up to the sky, starting to ask questions, and…

Aziz Ansari begins his new Netflix comedy special Aziz Ansari: Right Now, with an admission. Not of guilt, but of the fact that he’s spent the past year thinking a lot about the sexual misconduct allegations made against him in a story published by Babe.net in 2018. “I haven’t said much about that whole thing, um, but…

Two days after billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein was indicted on two counts of sex trafficking, a 32-year-old woman, who says she was recruited to give Epstein massages as a high school teenager, alleges that Epstein raped her when she was 15 years old.

During an interview for the August cover of Vogue, Ariana Grande teared up so often that the writer, Rob Haskell, describes feeling bad for her. The crying led to a “bumbling interchange of apologies” from the two, according to Haskell. Probably because Grande was tasked with talking about her recent traumas—big and…

The life and untimely death of Selena Quintanilla has held the public’s attention for 24 years and counting. A young Jennifer Lopez first bidi-bidi-bom-bom’d her way into our hearts in the oft-quoted, still-beloved 1997 biopic Selena, and other Selena-related projects followed over the years. A new Telemundo series…

Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire financier who in 2008 evaded any meaningful jail time over sex trafficking charges by reaching a private plea deal with federal prosecutors, was arrested over the weekend on similar charges, and now faces up to 45 years in prison.
