Don Winslow has had many careers: private investigator, safari guide, best-selling crime novelist, Hollywood screenwriter, and, in the last few years, political activist. On his social media feeds, Winslow regularly drops videos like #JoeManchinSenatorForSale or Trump is Lying to You.

We’ve seen technology collide with pop culture in various new mediums, birthing a generation of social disruptors that push the culture forward at the literal touch of a button.

TikTok has ushered in a bimbo renaissance, where self-aware babes can unabashedly strut across the For You Page. Now enter: Himbos — internet hunks willing to go shirtless in the name of freedom (or something). We asked four such gentlemen how they were enjoying this newfound visibility, and how best to join the movement. Farmer

Joe Rogan claimed on his podcast Friday that his subscriber base has grown in recent months despite the wave of controversies surrounding him. The controversial host — who has faced a Neil Young-led boycott, content advisory warnings over his Covid-19 misinformation, pulled episodes and criticism over his past use of the N-word — said on

No one — not a dictator, not a politician, not a celebrity, not an influencer — is in possession of more power than a high school theater director. For a small community of theater kids, the director is the one person whose approval you crave most in the world, above their parents, friends, and even

Elon Musk and Twitter are nearing a deal for the world’s richest man to take over the influential social media platform, multiple outlets reported on Monday. The sale would be for $54.20 a share, or around $43 billion in total. Negotiations between the two parties stretched into the early hours of Monday morning, and a

What makes a creator successful? Maybe it’s their comic timing, the ability to side-eye the camera in selfie mode to match up with the perfect audio cue. Maybe it’s the speed at which they hop on the latest trend, taking it from underground moment to viral movement, or the way that they open up to

By now, you’ve seen the clips. The ones from Tucker Carlson’s forthcoming show, “The End of Men,” where shirtless men grill, chop wood, and fire guns — and stand in front of some sort of testicle-tanning device with his arms outstretched. A separate clip features Carlson referring to “the total collapse of testosterone levels in

Covid is on the retreat. According to the World Health Organization, across most of the world, daily rates of new infections and deaths are dropping: Last week, per the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Research Center, there were around 2,700 COVID deaths per day, on average. That’s the lowest average death rate since late March 2020, when

Wearing fuschsia lipstick and a resplendent, Pucci-inspired cornflower-blue blouse, Jeffrey Marsh addresses the camera head-on: “Hey, kids!,” Marsh says chirpily. “It’s possible to be like me and to be happy.” Marsh, who is nonbinary, then proceeds to address the audience further: “It’s OK to like dresses, to like sparkly things. It’s OK to be a

Thirteen former gymnasts have taken the next step toward justice regarding the alleged mishandling of their allegations of sexual abuse at the hands of USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, filing complaints against the FBI and requesting damages totaling $130 million.  Last year, a scathing report by the Inspector General revealed the FBI had botched its

On Monday, an unqualified Trump-appointed federal judge in Florida ended the national mandate requiring face masks on airplanes and public transit, representing a major victory for those who have decided that the worst thing about a global pandemic that has killed nearly one million Americans is the minor inconvenience of wearing a face mask.  But

There is nothing people on the internet love more than to bond over being collectively grossed out by bizarre food videos. (Remember the girl who made a milkshake in a toilet, or the guy who put a Big Mac in a blender? Or for that matter, basically any TikTok Jason DeRulo has ever made?) Recently,

If you think the Covid-19 pandemic was the first time the far right took strange health advice proffered by wellness devotees, think again. Bodily sovereignty and purity tests have long been part of fascist and white nationalist playbooks. Bipartisanship has a way of dissolving when it comes to the body — especially, as it now

The world’s first all-electric passenger airplane looks like it could be at home in the sea. Instead of a traditional metal tube, its fuselage resembles an orca — with a sharp nose and a wide body that tapers dramatically to a T-shaped fin at the rear. Its wings are long, knifelike. The plane’s twin propellers,

​​In May 2017, a friend sent Jade Alectra, a 34-year-old California-based yoga teacher and Instagram influencer with about 75,000 followers, a video featuring a spiritual guru she’d never heard of before. The man was small, blond, and sprightly, almost elfin in appearance; he spoke with a gentle Dutch accent, offering promises of self-actualization and reaching

Over the weekend, a bunch of right-wing protesters tried their hardest to stick it to Disney and disrupt the giant corporation’s massive theme park business by hanging outside one of several entrances to Disney World. The protest, which featured anywhere from “several” to “dozens” of people, per local news reports, took place this past Saturday,
