Unprecedented sums are being spent on Democratic primaries, reshaping races while keeping their policy agendas largely out of public view.

By Chris Snellgrove | Published 1 second ago My absolute favorite kind of movie is the anthology. When you have a collection of short films all rolled into one, it provides the ultimate ROI for the audience. Don’t like one of the stories? You can just thug it out with the short runtime or skip ahead to the next tale. Either way is infinitely preferable to slogging through a two-hour film that started boring you to tears in the first scene. The anthology is much rarer in television, however, because networks and streamers have learned just how attached fans get…

For the past six weeks or so I’ve been having a recurring fight with my friends. The dispute is over whether or not it’s ethical to support the U.S. national team in the World Cup.  To the vast majority of people reading this article, this is an absurd question: of course you can and should support the United States Men’s National Team, you weirdo. And look, I’m with you. But despite the fact that my friends are pompous dorks who are no fun to watch the game with, the question they raise is valid: Are our national teams avatars of…

Scrolling in bed feels harmless, a few minutes of TikTok, a quick news check, one more email. But experts say the habits you build in the hour before bed shape how deeply you sleep, how often you wake up and how you feel the next morning. Swapping screen time for calmer, low-stimulation rituals is one of the most reliable ways to protect your rest. The case against bedtime doomscrolling isn’t just about blue light. It’s about what stress, dopamine, alcohol and late caffeine do to the brain and body once the lights go out. Here’s what sleep specialists recommend, what…

This sounds logical enough. However, when the real purpose of such products is analyzed, health professionals begin to doubt the validity…
