Tomorrow I’m interviewing the team behind HACKS about the final season (and finale). What should I ask them??

I’m interviewing Richard Gadd from Half-Man and Baby Reindeer today. What should I ask him?

One good thing that entertainment journalists covering The Odyssey can do is never to ask Nyong'o, Page, or Nolan about this. When a prominent racist and transphobe says something racist and transphobic, go make his life miserable and leave his targets alone. They have nothing to defend or explain.

when did The Pitt fandom become crazier than even the Heated Rivalry fandom

there is a moment in the new devil wears prada where meryl wears what can only be described as an RBG-Inspired Disco Smock. anyway, my take comes out saturday

after a lot of viral jokes last week about this starmer pic, i wrote about the history, and symbolism of, that great british tradition: the unflattering backseat photo of politicians—and why it doesn't exist in the US slate.com/life/2026/04...

you do have to wonder how long it’s going to be before we see protests outside US embassies around the world at unprecedented scale

BREAKING: The Supreme Court, in an 8-1 vote, holds that Colorado's law banning conversion therapy regulates speech based on viewpoint, subjecting it to strict scrutiny and likely rendering it unconstitutional when lower courts apply today's decision. Gorsuch writes for the court; Jackson dissents.

My favorite part of this article is about halfway through when the reporter interviews Stephanie Coontz, renowned historian of families, presumably for context. And instead ends up with quotes about how she does exactly the same thing to her adult son. www.bustle.com/life/boomer-...
