Quinnipiac University tweaked their polls to pit Trump against Winfrey. Etsy sellers began rolling out…

The new season of Queer Eye, released on Netflix today, begins with two pilgrimages, one physical and one spiritual. After traveling to the small town of Gay, Georgia (yes, seriously), cast member Bobby Berk opens up about being ostracized from his church at a young age. “Once everyone there found out,” he says, “they completely…

It’s early-mid June, which means the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the perennially-at-a-crossroads, very-important-and-yet-somehow-not-important-at-all videogames showcase, is returning. As has been the case for the past few years, the press conference proceedings that mark the largest news-drivers of the event begin today, with Microsoft and Bethesda Softworks holding conferences today and Sony, Nintendo, and everyone else following…

Good day, rogues; a new Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer dropped last night. It looks really incredible. Donald Glover’s Lando Calrissian drips swagger.

Almost a year ago, a woman accused Tom Hanks of sexually abusing her as a child and began posting reconstructed memories on Twitter. The accounts are disturbing and specific, but incomplete and unproven—something Hanks’ accuser attributes to the trauma-based mind control she believes herself a victim of. Even though (or perhaps, because) her claims remain…

There’s perhaps no modern movement more synonymous with storytelling than The Moth. Beginning in 1997, the organization evolved from a living-room slam hosted by novelist George Dawes into a tale-spinning juggernaut, hosting hundreds of live events and workshops across the world every year. But there’s another version of The Moth that exists only virtually, and…

It’s just hours of gawking at extremely gifted competitors make very difficult things look very easy. The 2018 Winter Olympics will be no different.
