What happens to the ecosystem of right-wing grifters and gadflies who made their bones by appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight, now that the top-rated Fox News host is out of a job?

When I finally got around to watching the stunning 2022 documentary All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (which, by the way, is now streaming on HBO Max), I spent a good week bruising my own ass, kicking myself from behind for not making time for it sooner. That film—which details photographer Nan Goldin’s successful activist crusade against the Sackler family, who are largely responsible for the opioid crisis—is an unforgettable piece of cinema.

Keeley (Juno Temple) and Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) used to be my favorite characters on Ted Lasso. Not only were they both unique, stellar, larger-than-life ladies with distinct senses of humor and passion for their careers—they were friends. And good friends, at that! They cared about each other’s lives beyond just boy drama. Rebecca encouraged Keeley’s career growth, while Keeley broke Rebecca out of her shell. In a sea of testosterone and sweaty footballers, Keeley and Rebecca consistently... Читать дальше...

The E. Jean Carroll trial against Donald Trump for rape and defamation began poorly for the former president, with opening statements by lawyers for both parties starting with Trump’s decision to not bother showing up in person.

It’s now been more than 24 hours since the news broke that Tucker Carlson was out at Fox News—and Desi Lydic says she might be starting to feel a little sorry for the pro-testicle tanning television personality. Especially after The Daily Show guest host learned that Tucker was given just 10 minutes notice before his departure was announced publicly.

If E. Jean Carroll’s lawyers have their way, Donald Trump’s infamous words about abusing his celebrity status to violate women will finally come back to haunt him.

While you might think fishing is all about catching the biggest fish possible and using it as a dating profile picture–or, at the very least, posting it on Instagram)--there’s an emerging group of fishermen who think just the opposite. It’s not about how big the fish is. Instead, it’s about variety. And there’s no better way to catch unique fish than by reeling in the smallest organisms that’ll bite.

That famous event of Summer, 1976—America’s bicentennial—is a rumbling but not significant backdrop to David Auburn’s gently affecting play of the same name about the undulating terrain of a friendship. We hear fireworks in the distance, and celebratory events are attended by its lead and only characters, Diana and Alice, played with an engaging immediacy and intimacy by Laura Linney and Jessica Hecht.

Last week, Fox News reached a $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems. A trial that was expected to result in public consequences for Fox’s reprehensible conduct ended before it even got started. And this week, Tucker Carlson, a cornerstone of Fox’s contemptuous approach to the truth, has been let go by the network.

A shadowy online guru blamed for breaking up families may be ordered to tell her followers that she is a convicted criminal by a federal judge who is troubled by a pile of disturbing allegations against her.

Abby Grossberg, the former Tucker Carlson producer suing Fox News for allegedly forcing her to give misleading testimony in the Dominion case, appeared Tuesday on MSNBC to dish dirt on her former boss now that he has also been fired by the conservative cable giant.

If you were lucky enough to be cognizant in the post-aughts greatness of the 2010s, you probably recall being inundated with promotion for the Divergent and Hunger Games movies in tandem. Both of these franchises bowed less than a decade ago, but it feels more like it’s been centuries, when we factor in that sweet nostalgia. These post-apocalyptic, young-adult novel adaptations were as sticky and delicious as the self-serve frozen yogurt we all mass-consumed at the time, as if they... Читать дальше...
