The short-sightedness of this approach might be baffling to outsiders who assume the Democratic party puts its all on the line to win. But for the organizers I spoke with on Tuesday, it’s a myopic habit that defines the national party’s political approach in the state—which many described as neglect and disinterest—when it comes to

The term “‘90s sitcom” has become white noise. Thanks in part to the fight to secure streaming rights to all the iconic, nostalgia-inducing titles of yesteryear, it feels like the term has been uttered to the point of semantic satiation. But like all cliches, there was and remains a specific logic behind the catchall. The
When it comes to stories that have lasted throughout the ages, there are few better examples than the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet.

If there was ever a time where we needed to see two warring adversaries come together for the greater good, 2020 is it, and hopefully tonight’s Verzuz between Gucci Mane and Jeezy will be that beacon. The two rappers share a beef that goes back 15 years, involving failed collaborations, diss tracks, slick comments in
Now that Normal People has sold two million copies and Sally Rooney has become a relative literary ubiquity, the inevitable backlash has begun.

Yes, Rooney’s depictions of student life are often

Staffordshire-born singer-songwriter Alex Jayne has shared a new single called ‘Pictures’. Check it out below, alongside an accompanying Laurie Barraclough-directed video. “’Pictures’ is about breaking free from my own attachment to photographs from the past.

As I watched the segment again four years later, I found it to be a revealing, if frustrating, exchange. Noah asked Lahren for factual explanations of her most incendiary statements—that Black Lives Matter was “the new KKK,” for instance—and she responded, in most cases, with more talking points. After the segment aired, Lahren was inundated
