Prince Phillip passed away on April 9 at the age of 99, and his legacy as a person, a member of the Royal family, and husband of The Queen is interesting, to say the least, especially given the “access” the public has sorta gotten of him and the Royal family through Netflix’s The Crown as well as the Meghan and Prince Harry interview with Oprah in March (which Phillip allegedly thought was “madness,” by the way.)

On Wednesday morning, a former Bachelor appeared on Good Morning America with a big announcement. “Obviously this year’s been a lot for a lot of people,” Colton Underwood told host Robin Roberts. “And it’s probably made a lot of people look themselves in the mirror and figure out who they are and what they’ve been running from or what they’ve been putting off in their lives.”

The Taliban never kept secret what their reaction would be if the Biden administration delays the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, and now that it’s happened, U.S. forces may have to deal with a new, unbridled wave of violence and bloodshed in the months leading up to the new September pull-out deadline.

Fox News

What is Fox News outraged about today, folks?

During a Wednesday morning segment on Fox’s The Faulkner Focus, ostensibly a part of the network’s “straight news” division, anchor Harris Faulkner and contributor Joe Concha spent several minutes grumbling about the Associated Press recommendation against using the term “mistress.”

The AP’s official Stylebook Twitter account sparked online debate and mockery when it tweeted this week that the news agency’s style guide suggests... Читать дальше...

I love coffee, but a lot of its origins are suspect. It’s history is, well, complicated to say the least. We’re getting a lot better, but now it’s time to do even more. What about a company that not only makes an excellent bag of coffee, but is also forward-thinking and impact-driven? That sounds pretty great doesn’t it? Thankfully, I recently discovered BLK & Bold, which does just that.

It's been a while since I’ve a) traveled and b) took high school Spanish classes. I’m hoping that as more people get vaccinated, my chances of travelling are increasing, but I started to notice that my Spanish was getting rustier and rustier. This was a problem because I’d really like to go to South America—maybe Peru?—once all of this is over. To keep me dreaming of adventures outside of my apartment and neighborhood, I decided it was time to beef up on my spanish. Читать дальше...

If a party host requires you to hand over your cellphone before entering in order to stop anyone from documenting what’s about to take place, it’s not usually a sign of an imminent wholesome evening. But, according to women who say they frequently partied with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) over the past two years, that was just part of the normal routine.

Most cleaning supplies don't do the trick. Especially on the tough stuff, you can spend half an hour scrubbing a favorite cooking pan beset by grease or the sink with hard water stains and it’ll look pretty much the same. I’ve tried fancy, new products, but at the end of the day, nothing works better than this powder in a can that’s been keeping homes clean for more than a hundred years.

Rumors of a pandemic baby boom may have been exaggerated, but 2021 has given us something else: the model baby boom. For instance: Gigi Hadid and the singer Zayn Malik had a daughter, Khai, last September. Emily Ratajkowski welcomed her son Sylvester Apollo in March. And the world has a new Kushner: name and gender unknown, courtesy of Karlie Kloss and husband Joshua, the brother of Jared.

As another American city is gripped by protests following the shooting death of an unarmed Black person by a police officer, the Biden administration is renewing focus on one of the “four historic crises” he pledged to address in his first hundred days: a long-overdue reckoning over racial justice in policing.

Netflix

Just as many of us begin to emerge from a year-long quarantine, Netflix is inviting you to step back in with The Circle Season 2.

You’d be surprised how quickly you can lose your way on an afternoon hike, especially if you wander away from the trail to capture a lovely scene with your camera, or to investigate a water feature. It’s equally bad when disaster strikes and you are stranded in a location far from home. You may have a compass app loaded onto your phone, but if you’ve drained the battery that handy piece of technology is next to useless.

Squad member Rashida Tlaib unequivocally called for the gutting of the police on Monday. The Detroit congresswoman tweeted: “No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed.”

Social media is a free-for-all realm populated by all sorts of crazy people, although the wildest online user featured in Why Did You Kill Me? isn’t a horny teenager or violent gangbanger but, instead, mother-of-four Belinda Lane. On Feb. 24, 2006, Belinda’s daughter Crystal was gunned down in Riverside, California, by assailants in a white Ford Expedition. With little trust in the police, and with the formal investigation going nowhere, Belinda took matters into her own hands by initiating her own hunt for Crystal’s killer. Читать дальше...

In mid-March, CNN broadcast harrowing images of the persistent human catastrophe in war-torn Yemen. Hospital beds filled with starving children, their labored breathing accentuating the outlines of bones visible through their flesh, as trucks with desperately-needed aid stalled without fuel. It was the consequence of Saudi Arabia’s blockade of the Red Sea port of Hodeidah, part of a net of air and sea restrictions that the United Nations... Читать дальше...

Imagine the FBI knocking on your door to question you about your participation in the deadly pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol. You’re foolish enough to invite them, without your legal counsel present, into your home, at which point the feds show you a photo—of you, rioting. You think you can wiggle your way out of this. You lie, and tell them that it’s not you in the photo.

The GOP has made no mystery of its opposition to comprehensive gun control. But if Republican lawmakers have their way, they’ll even hold up the person who’s supposed to oversee firearms regulations: David Chipman, President Joe Biden’s nominee to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Excelsior Pass

Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched America’s first vaccine passport to global fanfare as a “secure” way to track health status. I forged it in 11 minutes. Not only do the security promises of New York’s Excelsior Pass fail to hold up to scrutiny, but the tracking tech raises an alarming array of public health, equity, and civil rights questions that remain unanswered.

In recent months, Australia—a country that weathered the pandemic far better than the United States, reporting fewer than 30,000 cases and 1,000 deaths—has struggled to get its citizens vaccinated, battling a deluge of sign-up glitches, shipment blockades, and devastating floods that forced more than 40,000 to evacuate their homes.
