Thinking about starting a new magazine that's going to cover the entire spectrum of thought, from various worrying trends on twitter to what might or might not be going on, vibe-wise, at Yale.

Bittersweet announcement but after an amazing 2 years as an infectious disease expert I am moving on. I am now an expert in no-fly zones and Eastern European affairs. Excited to make the most of this new opportunity.

We wanted to know what it’s like to be a Canadian trucker. So we talked to Ross Douthat and Bethany Mandel.

The Bulls have confirmed that Caruso will have surgery on the right wrist next week, and will be re-evaluated in 6-8 weeks. Grayson Allen has removed the heart of the Bulls, and did it with a smirk.

Trying to dunk on NICK FREAKIN SABAN for not winning enough is like saying the weather sucks in California when it rains once a year. Galaxy brain stuff.

It's not just beer anymore -- products like soy sauce and maple syrup are now receiving the bourbon-barrel treatment. Here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden.

AOC's hypocrisy in engaging in a safe activity that would be legal in virtually every jurisdiction in the country is absolutely stunning

This is going to be the new right-wing strategy for retconning the pandemic: insisting that things that are true of Omicron and of Covid post-vaccination were always true, even when everyone knows they were not.

My four-year-old asked me “Daddy, why are there no more Christmas presents” and when I told him “because Joe Biden made all the packages arrive on time”, he started crying

This Vin des Allobroges Argile Blanc epitomizes the appeal of Savoie white wines. It’s made of jacquère and mondeuse blanche, along with chardonnay, all organically farmed, and it’s almost shocking in its incisive precision and purity. Here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden.

My three-year-old asked me “daddy why does the vice president use wired headphones” and when I told him “because she doesn’t trust Bluetooth”, he started crying.
