This summer, for the first time since 1994, the FIFA World Cup is coming back to North America. The tri-national hosting gig between the United States, Canada, and Mexico should be a celebration of the continental growth of soccer, and the unifying power of the most popular sport in the world. But this is 2026, and Donald Trump is in charge.  The tournament is taking place against a backdrop of violent enforced nativism and foreign interventionism from the United States. The Trump administration has turned anti-immigrant policies into a deadly surveillance and deportation machine, and placed hardline restrictions on travel…

In the front window of McNally Jackson, one of my favorite NYC bookstores. Against Money is now out. It’s been spotted in a number of bookstores, including the Union Square Barnes and Noble, where it turns out to be shelved next to Marx’s Capital in the Business section. As my friend Suresh said to me the other day, as writers we should think of books as landmarks for a larger body of thought, rather than self-contained arguments in themselves. That is certainly the case with this book. But I am glad to see this piece of the larger project out in the…

You may have noticed that Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher, was conspicuously absent from Daredevil: Born Again season two. There’s a reason for that, though, and that’s because Jon Bernthal was busy working on The Punisher: One Last Kill, a forty-five-ish minute short film that’s out now on Disney+. Bernthal co-wrote the script with the film’s director, Reinaldo Marcus Green (We Own This City), in an attempt to really deliver on the character. Do they succeed? Let’s find out. It’s not 100% clear when One Last Kill takes place on the timeline. It’s most certainly before the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand…

Jake Paul’s claim to have found $200m, specifically for a potential clash with Canelo Alvarez, has triggered a direct response from the Mexican great. The YouTuber-turned-boxer was set to collide with Canelo in May 2025, only for Turki Alalshikh to step in and sign the then-super-middleweight king to a multi-fight deal. This saw Alvarez become a two-time undisputed champion against William Scull, before losing his four major titles via a unanimous decision defeat to Terence Crawford last September. With Crawford having since announced his retirement and vacated the belts, however, Canelo is set to enter a world title fight in…

Tommy Bell knew he hadn’t always had the best diet, but when he started working at a Florida hospital over 10 years ago, he learned a lot about how nutrition contributes to health and started eating better. At 62 years old, he felt like he was in good shape: He didn’t smoke or drink, he ate well and walked over 10,000 steps a day in his job transporting patients around AdventHealth DeLand Hospital. When Bell started to feel some mild pain in his chest while driving home from work the day before Thanksgiving last year, he decided to go back and get checked…
