Finding the right pair of sheets has always been a daunting task for me — some sleep too warm, cause itchiness, and are flat out uncomfortable. And when I finally did find a set that my my expectations, a middle-of-the-night nosebleed took them out of commission (not even washing them countless times could prevent them from looking like the remnants of a murder scene).

It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter in England.

So, as four months of a nationwide lockdown finally came to an end, nothing was going to stop people from enjoying a refreshing pint of beer at the crack of dawn on a Monday morning—not even driving rain, freezing temperatures, and some pretty unseasonal snowfall.

Pubs started serving outdoors again as part of a reopening plan that also covers indoor gym sessions, swimming pools, non-essential shops, beauty salons, and, for... Читать дальше...

ROME—In what looks exactly like a pre-pandemic video, Pope Francis held a meet-and-greet after a mass with refugees and clergy to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. The video, which was posted to social media Monday, shows a maskless pontiff standing far closer to other maskless clergy than COVID-19 rules allow. A steady line of worshipers pass in front of him, complete with ring-kissing, hand-shaking, and maskless selfies, despite Italy staggering through a third wave of the pandemic. Читать дальше...

Some would say coronaviruses are our mortal enemy. After all, tens of millions of Americans have contracted COVID-19 and hundreds of thousands have died. Similarly, tens of millions have lost their jobs and hundreds of thousands of businesses have closed. One estimate puts the total cost of the pandemic at $16 trillion, roughly equal to the nation’s total annual economic output.

Beauty is both in the eye of the beholder, and in the interest of our environmental well-being and safety. As other industries, including fashion and tech, have worked on becoming more sustainable, so are beauty companies. A recent study by Whole Foods that showed a handful of beauty trends for the year had upcycled beauty and other eco-friendly beauty trends as top trends for this year.

Will the American war in Afghanistan ever end?

The sad truth of the matter is this 20-year conflict, which has cost the United States over $1 trillion and 2,400 lives, to say nothing of the havoc and suffering it has wreaked on the people of Afghanistan, is no longer of interest to most Americans. Nonetheless, getting out is a pressing objective of American foreign policy today. Joe Biden’s two predecessors promised to do it but were unable to do so.

Biden, surely, will not fail. Читать дальше...

When Major League Baseball relocated the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver in response to Georgia’s new voting law, Fox News was quick to react. “Is the White House concerned that Major League baseball is moving their All-Star Game to Colorado, where voting regulations are very similar to Georgia?” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki last week.

True crime documentaries are all, to some extent, attempts at recreation, and Pray, Obey, Kill explicitly highlights that endeavor, not only through staged dramatic sequences but via recurring shots of a miniature model of the remote Swedish village of Knutby where, on Jan. 10, 2004, Alexandra Fossmo was executed in her bed, and her neighbor Daniel Linde was also shot, albeit not fatally. Through those devices, as well as recurring scenes of journalists Martin Johnson and Anton Berg poring over evidence and conducting interviews... Читать дальше...

It would be charitable to call the white religious right’s continuous attacks on Rev. Raphael Warnock, beginning from the moment he launched his successful bid to become the first Black U.S. senator from Georgia, merely un-Christian.

President Joe Biden's multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure package presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make a mark on federal policy—and, as Washington's legion of lobbyists know, it’s also an opportunity to make some serious bank.

That Matt Gaetz was unthinking enough to be felled by his inability to set his Venmo to “private” is not surprising, or particularly damning. True, Columbia University college students, Twitter bots and cheating spouses have taught us this lesson repeatedly since 2015, but Gaetz obviously isn’t a lesson-learning kind of guy—that’s part of his Fox Newsian “charm.”

Her almond-shaped eyes quickly dart to the floor, lest she appear overeager as she recites the menu to a new customer. Today’s special: a full-body massage with half-price happy endings. The man feigns shock, claiming he’s just there to ease his sore muscles after a long day of work. Smiling, her kimono slips a little lower as she seductively vacillates between intense sexual desire and docile servitude. It’s the cliché massage parlor scene that every female Asian porn star is asked to do. Читать дальше...
