Ireland Baldwin, daughter of Alec Baldwin, seemed to inadvertently highlight the similarities surrounding the accidental shooting death her father was involved in and this past weekend’s Astroworld tragedy in a string of Instagram posts that also correctly bemoaned the spread of misinformation surrounding both events. In a series of since-deleted posts on Instagram Stories —

This column is a collaboration with DoubleBlind, a print magazine and media company at the forefront of the psychedelic movement. This fall, the federal government granted researchers funding to study the therapeutic potential of a classic psychedelic for the first time in 50 years.

After a chaotic day in court on Wednesday, the judge in Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial encouraged the courtroom, including the jury, to applaud for a defense witness because he was a veteran. The 18-year-old Rittenhouse is charged with homicide and attempted homicide, among other charges, for killing two people and seriously injuring a third when he
It took just three days after nine people were killed and scores were injured at the Astroworld Festival in Houston for Travis Scott to do what Travis Scott has always done: announce a partnership.

The defense lawyer for a man accused of filming the murder of Ahmaud Arbery — a Black man who was jogging through a Georgia neighborhood when two residents shot and killed him in 2020 — said that he didn’t want “any more black pastors” in the courtroom during trial. On Wednesday, Reverend Al Sharpton had
It’s no secret that Ed Sheeran has historically been considered, for lack of a better term, uncool. The Brit’s musical output skews on the schmaltzier side, and tracks like “Perfect” and “Thinking Out Loud” have traditionally been considered wedding dance songs or the soundtrack for freshman high schoolers’ first experience with digital penetration. Yet a
Uber has charged people who use walkers and wheelchairs extra for taking too long to get into the car, according to a lawsuit the Justice Department filed Wednesday against the ride-sharing app. The complaint argues that charging more to customers who take longer than two minutes to get into a car discriminates against people with

On Tuesday, the NFL announced it would fine the Packers $300,000. Rodgers was fined $14,650 for going to a party unvaccinated.

The filthy, cramped, and corrupt federal lockup in Manhattan where Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself was deemed such a mess that the Department of Justice announced its closure in August — and cleared it of prisoners in late October. On Nov. 4, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York unsealed an indictment revealing
Six days ago, a TikTok creator named Anjelo Tavera posted a video of a blond woman in a blue sweater having a meltdown on what appears to be a commercial passenger jet. In the video, the woman speaks in stilted, almost mid-Atlantic tones as she delineates to an extremely patient flight attendant why she refuses
On the latest episode of The Howard Stern Show, the radio personality tore into Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for his hesitancy to get vaccinated. Rodgers recently contracted the virus after informing reporters that he had been “immunized.” “If there was decency in this world, I would throw this guy out of the football
The DuoLingo owl has a reputation for being somewhat, shall we say, aggressive in following up with delinquent users who miss their day’s lesson. But on TikTok, the lore surrounding the beloved cartoon owl has taken on a whole new dimension. On a platform where brands are typically mocked within an inch of their lives
Jury selection begins Thursday in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite and former girlfriend and property manager of Jeffrey Epstein, charged with recruiting teenage girls for Epstein to sexually abuse. According to the prosecution, Maxwell helped Epstein “recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse” victims that she knew were under 18, including one girl as
Perhaps Dave Chappelle was striving for irony when he spoke about being cancelled before a sell-out crowd at San Francisco’s Chase Center on Thursday night.

In 2016, newlyweds Marco and Karissa moved to Los Angeles, seeking sunny skies and the chance for a happy life together. The couple had just gone through a miscarriage, and Marco hoped the pleasant climate would help Karissa’s depression. “She was very weather dependent,” he says. “She needed always sunlight and warmth.” Today, Marco almost
This story contains graphic descriptions of self-harm. When Chae first saw Angela Vandusen, a.k.a. @angelatheegoddess, on her TikTok For You page last year, she was instantly smitten. A 27-year-old based in Michigan, Vandusen was a home health care aide and an aspiring natural-oils entrepreneur, but she had amassed many devoted adherents by posting thirst traps
Aaron Rodgers displayed his mastery of the anti-vaccination playbook on Friday’s The Pat McAfee Show, the Green Bay Packers quarterback’s first interview since he tested positive for Covid-19. Earlier this week, it was revealed that the reigning NFL MVP would miss Sunday’s game after being diagnosed with Covid-19; reports soon followed that Rodgers was unvaccinated,
After JFK Jr. failed to materialize in Dallas on Tuesday, Nov. 2, per the abstruse predictions of a numerology-obsessed QAnon sect, some of the followers of the theory have surmised that Keith Richards is, in fact, JFK Jr. in disguise. Oh, also Michael Jackson is impersonating Mick Jagger. If this sounds completely unhinged, that’s because
Last year, Phoebe Bridgers said the ultra-popular true crime podcast My Favorite Murder was an influence for her latest album, Punisher. “My Favorite Murder feels like you’re listening to two friends talk about something they’re morbidly fascinated with,” she told Pitchfork. Bridgers described being drawn to the podcast’s emphasis on social consciousness, which has been woven
