‘Anora’ Had To End The Way It Does
Firstly, Ani and Igor spend a final evening together in Vanya’s parents’ mansion, before leaving when the banks open in the morning to collect Ani’s annulment fee. They share a little conversation; Ani scoffs that he probably wanted to rape her, because he has “rape eyes,” but he wouldn’t do it anyway, because he isn’t […]
Elections 2024: How Peanut, a euthanized pet squirrel, became a Republican talking point
It’s the Monday right before the 2024 presidential election and Republicans cannot stop talking about the state-sanctioned euthanizing of a squirrel named Peanut. Known colloquially to his 720,000-plus Instagram followers as P’Nut, the tiny, charismatic rodent has become a right-wing martyr — as has his surviving, very muscular, frequently shirtless owner, Mark Longo, who also […]
Kamala Harris Riffs With Maya Rudolph on Saturday Night Live
For what it’s worth, some takes: The only real punchline in it was four words long—“You can open doors”—but Harris made those four words land hard.

Young Thug Is Going Home
Get the parade on Cleveland ready (even though he’s essentially banned from that area, but more on that shortly). Young Thug’s RICO trial has been underway for the better part of two-and-a-half years now, a saga that has seen Thug and his YSL associates incarcerated since May 2022. Since then all manner of drama has […]
Insiders Speak Out on Fontana PD’s Culture of White Supremacy
In the nearly four years since supporters of former President Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol building, federal prosecutors have indicted at least 35 current or former law enforcement officers for their role in the insurrection, according to an Intercept analysis. Among their targets was Alan Hostetter, a former California police chief who entered the […]
Orange Culture Lagos Spring 2025 Collection
Known for his playful and disruptive approach, Orange Culture’s Adebayo Oke-Lawal took us on a journey inspired by his experiences leaving Lagos and moving to London. It’s a journey often punctuated with periods of loneliness, longing, and fear, but Oke-Lawal (who now splits his time between the two cities) chose to celebrate the aspects that […]
How Steve McQueen Became Hollywood’s Favorite Artist
Matthew Dentler, head of features at Apple TV+, appeared to be more personally invested in the picture than your typical movie studio head at a company with a $3.6 trillion market cap.
