Eight private jets carrying India’s super wealthy—and potentially the coronavirus—landed in London ahead of the U.K.’s 4 a.m. ban on travel from India, according to the London Times. The U.K. added India to its “red list” of pandemic-stricken countries. As of Friday, any Britons returning from India must quarantine for ten days in a government-approved hotel. All non-British or non-Irish citizens will be banned entirely from entering the country if they have been in India in the previous 10 days. Читать дальше...

While I love my carbon steel skillet, there is one other kind of pan I will always keep around: a nonstick one. I use it for eggs, pancakes, fish, and honestly, just when I’m feeling lazy — therefore, it needs to be a good one. But finding a good, sturdy one is a tougher job than it sounds. The most important thing to consider with nonstick pans isn’t beauty, but is instead, how it’s coating holds up. I’ve found that if taken care of properly, this one can go the distance.

VENICE—On June 5, the MSC Orchestra cruise ship will once again glide past Venice’s St. Mark’s square despite a March 31 government decree banning the monster ships from the city center. It won’t be a sign of defiance, but rather a sign of compromise as the city prepares the new temporary cruise ship port in decidedly unpicturesque Marghera. The area used to be a swamp—in fact the name means “the sea was here”—and now it houses an oil refinery and several other industrial plants which might... Читать дальше...

Tell me, what do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see a superhero? How about model-level beauty? Do you really see that in yourself? Let’s look inward now. Do you see a person who is morally perfect? A saint, perhaps? How about a world-saving genius? A generational artistic talent? Chances are you don’t see any of these things in yourself. Chances are you’re normal like the rest of us. If you were really honest with yourself, you’d admit that you’re maybe even... Читать дальше...

At a time when it can be hard to muster the attention required to re-watch The Nanny, Netflix’s Shadow and Bone is asking a lot of its viewers. Watching this young-adult fantasy series with subtitles on is highly recommended—lest you get lost in a sea of terms like “Heartrender,” “Grisha,” and, most ominous, “The Fold.”

“The federal government fought the war on poverty,” Ronald Reagan once quipped, “and poverty won.” He was slamming Lyndon Johnson—one of the men to whom Joe Biden has been frequently compared. Reagan’s comments indicated that the Great Society, however noble its aspirations, not only failed but also led to unintended negative consequences. Biden faces some of the same perils from his attempts to dramatically reframe the size and scope of government... Читать дальше...

For the past 14 months, Madam Dena has sat on a sprawling, abandoned ranch outside Las Vegas, overseeing an empty empire of themed bungalows, hotel rooms, and tennis courts. Usually tasked with managing nearly 100 staffers and contractors, the madam has been almost entirely alone, save for a skeleton crew of employees and a few lone men who sidle up to the locked front gates and pound on the front door, demanding to know if they are open for business.

In Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel Brave New World, people aren’t born from a mother’s womb. Instead, embryos are grown in artificial wombs until they are brought into the world, a process called ectogenesis. In the novel, technicians in charge of the hatcheries manipulate the nutrients they give the fetuses to make the newborns fit the desires of society. Two recent scientific developments suggest that Huxley’s imagined world of functionally manufactured people is no longer far-fetched. Читать дальше...
