Elon Musk used to be a car guy—an eccentric visionary, sort of quirky and absurd, but mostly entertaining. For some reason, a key group of people in and around Silicon Valley took him seriously, but he rarely exhibited the kind of depth or power that would concern anyone outside his core businesses.
Now Musk is a media mogul whose decisions cost lives and affect the world. He seems more absurd than ever, yet we can no longer afford to dismiss … Read more
With apologies to a certain newspaper’s slogan, many of Donald Trump’s most dangerous statements hide in the plain light of day.
The problem is not that they don’t get reported on—they do—but even so, they are easy to tune out, perhaps because he’s been saying outlandish things for so long that people simply can’t bring themselves to parse the new ones; or perhaps because they’ve become accustomed, or at least numb, to his utterances; or perhaps because they don’t want
Today’s Republicans aren’t isolationists; they are hawks targeting Latin America and Asia.
Speaking to Sky News last month, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expressed confidence that the United States could “certainly” afford to finance two ongoing military conflicts involving Ukraine and Israel. Yellen was speaking on behalf of the Biden administration, which has
When Natalie Clark’s wedding day finally arrived after two years of planning, she had a nagging feeling about the future.
As she walked down the aisle she knew, deep down, that she and her husband-to-be would not be together ’til death do us part.
‘Did I think I’d be married for ever? No I didn’t,’ admits Natalie, 30, from Bingley, West Yorkshire. ‘That’s not to say there was anything wrong with my fiance — there wasn’t. I did love him.
Celebration was in the air as Rupert Murdoch, his sons Lachlan and James and executives from his newspaper and broadcast empire took their seats in the private dining room at Hammersmith’s River Cafe.
As ever, the fashionable watering hole of London’s media elites was abuzz with lively mid-week chatter, but even among these sophisticates the presence of the three Murdochs together stilled conversations.
They were in town to mark the success of a deal the media tycoon had struck, yet
Not long after the Writers Guild of America’s strike started in May, Eugene Ramos began trying to walk the picket lines at least twice a week every week. On such occasions, he dons his sunglasses and baseball cap—equipment for “war,” he calls it—to combat the Los Angeles sunshine, heads to a studio’s entrance, and scribbles his name on a sign-in sheet before joining the rally.
But Ramos isn’t a member of the WGA or SAG-AFTRA (the Screen Actors Guild and
Dathan Ritzenhein, the coach of On Athletics Club, was juggling a couple of jobs on a brisk morning this spring. As members of his elite distance-running team logged hard miles on some deserted back roads outside Boulder, Colo., Ritzenhein seemed determined to murder his pickup truck’s transmission.
The team, also known as O.A.C., had splintered into packs, and Ritzenhein was navigating the roads like Max Verstappen, hopping in and out of his truck so he could supply refreshments while yelling
Muons might not behave as expected. But scientists can’t agree on what to expect.
By taking stock of how the subatomic particles wobble in a magnetic field, physicists have pinned down a property of the muon’s internal magnet to greater precision than ever before, researchers from the Muon g−2 experiment reported August 10 in a seminar hosted by Fermilab in Batavia, Ill.
Previous measurements of muons’ magnetism haven’t aligned with theoretical predictions. Those predictions come from one of the most
A conversation with the New York State Assembly member who introduced the Not On Our Dime! Act, a landmark bill to prohibit charities from financing settler violence.
Most New Yorkers probably haven’t heard of the Israeli organization Regavim. Or the Israel Land Fund, Ateret Cohanim, or Hashomer YOSH. But these
There are two things I love that get better with time: wine and Gabrielle Union. Every time I see her on my social feeds, I’m simply blown away by her beauty. When I say she’s aging like fine wine, I’m not referring to her seemingly youthful appearance — though maybe we need to reevaluate what we think a 50-year-old woman is “supposed” to look like — but her overall vibe; she just seems to be living her best life.
