The cargo ship that has blocked the Suez Canal since Tuesday—and epitomized the mood of a battered and exhausted public—could be freed on Saturday night, some optimistic reports suggest.

Now that I’m in the third trimester of my pregnancy, it shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone that I’m living for comfort. I long for the days of the pre-pregnancy pencil skirts, skinny jeans, and shift dresses that line my overstuffed closet, but I confess I have moved on to new workwear: track pants. Yes, it may sound like I’m pushing the envelope rocking some drawstring, elastic waistband garments in a 9-5 office, but these aren’t just any ordinary pair of pants. Читать дальше...

On Jan. 7, the National Rifle Association board of directors gathered at the Omni Hotel in downtown Dallas for the group’s winter meeting. Despite the risks of travel during a pandemic, half of the board’s 76 members had made the trip. After breakfast, the directors turned off their cell phones... Читать дальше...

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem seemed to be on the fast-track: a national profile, a good relationship with former President Donald Trump, and the favor of conservatives in her state and across the country. But a bill targeting transgender athletes—and the no-win politics that have engulfed the legislation—now suddenly threatens to sideline her ambitions.

It was so dark at 1 a.m. that Jhonatan Cortéz could hardly see the wall separating Tijuana from San Diego in front of him. As he pulled himself up, hand over hand, he was both determined and terrified. He couldn’t go back to El Salvador, where he would lose the opportunity to use the culinary degree he’d just earned and instead be forced to join a gang. He had to get to the U.S. to safety, and climbing this wall was his only option. He was about halfway up the second barrier when Border Patrol spotted his group. Читать дальше...

All the chatter about whether Governor Andrew Cuomo should be kicked out of office for this–this being multiple women’s credible allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation–is maddening to me. As an employment lawyer who regularly brings, defends, and investigates sexual harassment claims in New York, I know that the punishment for violating this law is usually termination of employment and financial liability of the employer and occasionally the harasser.

The time bomb in my head ticked away as I waited with expected reluctance, not wanting but surely anticipating, for COVID to become racist. “The great equalizer,” or so it was touted by mainstream media outlets, the same dysfunctional propaganda machines that perpetuate the “good guy, bad day” narrative for homegrown white-supremacist terrorists but label Trayvon Martin a “gangsta.” And so, I waited. And then came Brooklyn. Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood-esque images of... Читать дальше...

We are finally beginning to peek around the COVID corner and cannot yet see what the post-pandemic world holds. There remain many unknowns, but at least one certainty: our children have suffered, all of them. And, once again, our educational system finds itself at the center of large social problems.

Perfection may be the enemy of good enough—but apparently nobody told that to James Joyce. In Paris in 1920, with the printing of his modernist masterpiece Ulysses already underway, Joyce continued making changes to his 600-page novel, over which he had already labored for seven years. He reworked the manuscript daily, then continued reworking the printer’s proofs—meant to set the novel for printing—as if they were mere drafts, adding about a third of the book after it was already ostensibly complete.

Earlier this month, in the midst of a public relations nightmare, the nation’s top anti-sexual harassment advocacy group took a step that appeared to fly in the face of its principles. Time’s Up, the organization formed by Hollywood power players in response to the MeToo movement, asked volunteers to sign on to an agreement limiting their ability to speak freely about the organization—including a pledge not to disparage the group, its employees...

Jensen Karp started off the week by going viral for finding what appeared to be sugar-coated shrimp tails in a box of his Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Karp, a Los Angeles-based comedian and writer, seemed to revel in the spotlight, eagerly talking to The New York Times for a humorous interview about scarfing down a bowl and going back for seconds when the apparent crustaceans’ remains “plopped” out and discussed his ongoing talks with General Mills.

For years, Larry McMurtry wore an old sweatshirt that said “Minor Regional Novelist” on the front. It was a joke but one with more than a grain of truth. Beginning with Horseman, Pass By in 1961, he published a string of tough, unsentimental novels in the '60s and '70s about the modern American West and particularly Texas, where he was born in 1936. The novels got good reviews and some of them sold to Hollywood (Hud, The Last Picture Show, Terms of Endearment)... Читать дальше...

China’s recent boycotting of Western brands that have denounced Xinjiang over forced labor reports was spotlighted on Friday’s The World This Week—and the Chinese Communist Party’s increasingly hostile reaction to any criticism from other superpowers took center stage in the discussion.

Life when you’re young is a thrilling, bewildering, joyous, fraught romp through the funhouse of childhood. You want to grow up and fast, to know all the secrets you are sure the gatekeepers of the world—those pesky grown-ups—are hiding from you. Adults may long for the innocent and carefree days that fill their nostalgia-laced memories of youth, but they are suffering from amnesia. When you’re in it, you see your life as anything but happy-go-lucky.
