When the 22nd season of Arthur premiered on PBS last week and the world found out that beloved teacher of aardvarks, Mr. Ratburn, is not only gay, but engaged to be wed, people lost their shit.

On Monday, Sybrina Fulton announced she’s joining the race for Miami-Dade County Commissioner, making her one of the small number of mothers who have lost a child to police brutality and gun violence and decided to run for office.

It sure is: Halsey, “Nightmare” - Uh, Halsey is the Paul Revere of the impending nu-metal revival. Who knew? Stylistically, “Nightmare” is her take on rap-rock (where rock is defined by, I don’t know, the guitar-less offerings of Twenty One Pilots.) It’s interesting to see a vintage genre defined by machismo and…

Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber are vying for the song of the summer with a new single about... social anxiety? The premise of their new music video for “I Don’t Care” is that Sheeran and Bieber don’t care, in fact, about making the video, so it’s intentionally rough around the edges.

Busy Philipps’s late-night show is coming to an end after just one season.

In December of last year, a toymaker named MGA Entertainment, which blessed the world with a very cute, slime-filled, and poop-shaped handbag named “Poopsie Pooey Puitton Slime Surprise Kit and Carrying Case,” filed a lawsuit against the real Louis Vuitton, fearing that the French brand was waiting to drop a lawsuit…

I enjoy taking a bath as much as the next person (like, what, once a year?), and I respect people’s right to bathe in whatever way feels right to them—but it’s time to speak out against a long-standing myth regarding what goes in the tub and what absolutely should not, and bath bombs don’t deserve to be anywhere near…

Like a stressed-out dinner-party host that’s just going to let her guests sit there and think about what they’ve done, moments after the table erupted into a needless debate about whether a plastic straw boycott could save the Earth (it can’t), ABC has decided to just forget all about Constance Wu’s little tiff about…

Nike is good at branding. It’s impossible to hear the name and not think of the swoosh logo and any number of its tear-inducing ad spots. Lately, these advertisements specifically center on women in sports. Serena Williams starred in one such ad, which aired in February, in which she detailed how “having a baby and…

Kate Gosselin will return to TLC, the network that aired multiple seasons of her first show Jon & Kate Plus Eight, in June. But instead of focusing on her children and her parenting, Gosselin’s new show will re-introduce her to viewers as a single mom who is ready to date again.

Tuca and Bertie, the new animated Netflix show about two young, urban, professional birds in the big city, begins with a dramatic ending. “TUCA!” Bertie (voiced by Ali Wong) shouts on an urgent phone call to her best friend (Tiffany Haddish). “I miss you! Ugh, I hate change.”

I can’t stop admiring Daisy May Cooper’s dress from Sunday’s BAFTA TV Awards, made of garbage bags and literal garbage. Everything about it, from the trail of detritus at her feet, to the makeshift pigeon’s nest that rests atop her head, makes me feel happy. That pigeon—metaphorically speaking, of course, because…

I’m not a mom, but that rocks.
