The rise of democracy in Myanmar, long accustomed to military rule, seemed too good to be true, and the arrest of the once revered democracy crusader Aung San Suu Kyi and her allies confirms the dream was a fantasy.

The View’s Meghan McCain leaned on one of her well-worn arguments Monday when it came to Democrats’ criticism of QAnon-supporting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), warning that lumping Republicans in with Greene “is how we got Trump in the first place.”

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) is turning up the heat on giant meat producers that he believes let COVID-19 fester among workers at their facilities—and on the federal authorities he suggested failed to shield them from abuses.

LONDON—Just in case you were wondering, Meghan still really hates the establishment at Buckingham Palace and resents them for depriving her of her voice, agency, and autonomy when she and Harry were still part of the official royal family.

You recently paired with Kvarøy Arctic to create a Super Bowl salmon hot dog and salmon burger kit with a range of toppings. What will you be eating during the game? “I will be down in Tampa Bay for the game, so I am hoping for a killer fried fish sandwich and a root beer.”

It’s been more than two decades since Tempe Brennan—the fictional alter ego of forensic anthropologist Dr. Kathy Reichs—first walked into the morgue and began cracking cases. Since then, the beloved character has sleuthed her way through dozens of bestselling novels and short stories, and even made the jump to television in the hit show Bones. Now after a few years away she’s back in the latest installment of Brennan’s adventures, A Conspiracy of Bones, just released in paperback. Читать дальше...

Midway through John and the Hole, a sparse, stylish psychological thriller, the 13-year-old John (Charlie Shotwell) stands in his family’s pool beside a friend. “When I start thrashing, leave me a little longer,” the friend instructs him. John proceeds to push the boy underwater and, in one long take, we watch with growing discomfort as John keeps him there for 20, 30, 40 seconds. Even when the boy starts flailing wildly, splashing the water above, John commits to the experiment... Читать дальше...

When administrators at Hillsdale College, a conservative liberal-arts school in Michigan, heard its local hospital didn’t have a way to store the Pfizer-BioNTech covid vaccine, they offered the use of its science department’s ultra-low temperature freezer. The vaccine must be stored at minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit.

With that help, the small hospital — employing about 400 — was able to receive vaccines from the state: 1,950 doses in late December, more than twice what it requested... Читать дальше...

The United States leads the world in coronavirus cases and deaths, and it’s not even close. But the U.S. also has led the world in COVID-19 vaccine development, with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorizing two highly effective vaccines within a year of the Wuhan outbreak. And even though the vaccine rollout has been hugely disappointing, the U.S. is still, somehow, among the world’s leaders in getting shots into people’s arms.

This month, Wall Street Journal contributor Abigail Shrier tweeted, “‘You’re not entitled your book contract,’ can quickly become… ‘Visa doesn’t let you use its cards.’” Shrier was referring to publisher Simon & Schuster canceling Republican Sen. Josh Hawley’s book deal, prompting conservative howls about their banishment from private businesses. But one group of Americans already deals with Visa, Mastercard, and other financial institutions denying them access—and it’s not conservatives... Читать дальше...

When Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) voted to impeach President Donald Trump on Jan. 13 for inciting a riot that tore through the U.S. Capitol, it seemed the door had been cracked ever so slightly for the unthinkable—the loosening of Trump’s vise-grip on the Republican Party.

The clock is ticking, and GOP leader Mitch McConnell has limited time to show he can act in good faith. President Obama squandered a year of his presidency courting Republican votes that McConnell made sure didn’t happen. President Biden won’t make that mistake. If McConnell pulls his old tricks of obstruction, Biden has moves of his own he can deploy.

HBO Max

Few murder mysteries are dramatized quite as unconventionally as The Investigation, which over the course of six episodes doesn’t reveal the identity of its prime suspect; waits until its third installment to divulge the surname of its victim; and enters a courtroom only once, for a brief climactic moment. Credit for that unique format goes to its acclaimed creator, writer/director Tobias Lindholm (A Hijacking, A War), who delivers unnervingly chilly suspense and mournful existential dread...

It’s a smart chess move, this letter signed by 10 Republicans that was released Sunday announcing that they’d agree to a $600 billion COVID relief bill. It puts them on offense and forces Joe Biden to respond. He would appear to have three choices.

Rosanna, you’re making a big mistake. Those were the words Harvey Weinstein is said to have uttered to Rosanna Arquette after she refused his predatory advances. Following that disturbing encounter, Arquette—who rose to stardom in the ‘80s with stunning turns in Desperately Seeking Susan, Silverado, After Hours, and The Big Blue—saw her pay slashed for the Weinstein-shepherded Pulp Fiction, and a false rumor spread that she was difficult to work with (which she suspects Weinstein started).
