A confetti-covered crowd cheers outside the Parliament building in Athens on Feb. 15, moments after Greece’s lawmakers voted to legalize same-sex civil marriage. The decision made Greece the first Orthodox Christian country to allow LGBTQ+ couples to

When Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Donald Trump last April, the case drew some derision. Prosecuting a former President over hush-money payments to a porn star seemed trivial, critics said, and relied on a legal technicality to bum

People are tired. Like, really tired. As evidenced by recent trends such as “Quiet Quitting,” “Coffee Badging,” “Bare Minimum Mondays,” and most of all, “The Great Resignation”—when over 47 million Americans voluntarily resigned from their positions—

On Jan. 1, 2015, Alexei Navalny called me. “Well, you and us have no one else left but you and us. Let’s work together,” he said. It was indeed a hard time for both him and me. I was editor in chief of the Dozhd TV channel at the time, and we were cu

Palestinians clamor for food in Rafah on Feb. 16. Nearly two-thirds of families in Gaza eat only one meal a day, and in 95% of households, adults restrict their intake to make sure small children can eat, according to a Feb. 19 report by the Global N

It’s not easy to swim 109 miles when you’re starving to death. It’s not easy either to try to survive when you’re shedding body weight at a rate of 2.2 lb. a day. And it might be the hardest—or at least most tragic—of all if you’re a nursing mom and

None of the tidying clichés ever really clicked with KC Davis, a therapist in Houston and mom to two young kids. “I’ve always been a messy person,” she says. “I’ve never been able to ‘clean as I go.’” Davis knew there were plenty of people just like

The long-awaited counteroffensive last year failed. Russia has recaptured Avdiivka, its biggest war gain in nine months. President Volodymyr Zelensky has been forced to quietly acknowledge the new military reality. The Biden Administration’s strategy

It’s been three years since Myanmar’s ruling junta clawed back power from an elected government, and its grip on power is becoming costlier for all concerned. Recent fights with well-armed ethnic groups have inflicted heavy casualties on the country’

February brought big COVID-19 news: the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is weighing a change to its long-standing isolation guidance, according to reporting from the Washington Post. Instead of telling people with COVID-19 to st

First, Formula One got hot in the U.S. and beyond. Then came the pickleball craze, which started during the pandemic and hasn’t lost much momentum. What niche sport will break out next? Russell Coutts, the CEO of the upstart professional racing organ

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez erupted on the national stage back in 2018, a lot of establishment Washington braced for the arrival of a Tea Party–style troublemaker from the left. Six years later, that assessment wasn’t so much wrong as undercooked.

In January 2020, Luis was 21 and beginning the second semester of his junior year at a public university in New York City. He lived with family in Queens, and everyone pitched in to make ends meet. His father was retired. His mother collected disabil

Why won’t antisemitism die, or at least die down? In the months following Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, antisemitic incidents increased substantially. The Anti-Defamation League, which keeps track, says they tripled in the U.S. over the pr

ON THE AFTERNOON OF SEPT. 27, A BALKANS EXPERT AT THE WHITE HOUSE GOT A DISTURBING CALL FROM A U.S. INTELLIGENCE AGENCY. Serbian forces were massing along the length of their country’s border with Kosovo, where NATO has kept an uneasy peace since a b

The filmmaker Greta Gerwig was in West London the other day when she walked past a movie set—not her own, but something that just happened to be filming on the street—and stopped for a moment to watch. A light was positioned in front of the house; a

For all the talk of promoting and valuing women in businesses, there’s been depressingly little progress in boardrooms and C-suites in the past few years. One notable exception is Leena Nair, who became global CEO of Chanel in January 2022. An outsid

Ada Limón is no stranger to good news. In 2022, she was appointed the 24th poet laureate of the U.S., a role previously held by the likes of Tracy K. Smith, Joy Harjo, and Rita Dove. Last spring, she was granted a two-year second term. And in October

The town of Sandbranch, Texas, is only 11 miles from Dallas, but it’s a world apart. Until recently, residents lacked running water and burned trash in the backyard. When Jacqui Patterson first visited the unincorporated town founded by formerly ensl

On Oct. 9, the economist Claudia Goldin was doing what most people do at 4:30 in the morning: sleeping. But then the phone rang, and her life changed. That day, she became only the third woman ever to win the Nobel prize in economics—and the first wo

Coco Gauff will never forget the utter elation she felt last September when her backhand winner flew by Aryna Sabalenka at the U.S. Open final to give her, at 19 years old, her first Grand Slam championship. “It was like a drug,” Gauff says. “I’ve ne

Taraji P. Henson often plays towering characters who catapult off the screen with charisma, defiance, and tenacity. She ruled network television for six years as Cookie Lyon in Empire and stole scenes from Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Bu

Geneticist Marlena Fejzo had a difficult start to her first pregnancy. She suffered from nausea and vomiting, as roughly 70% of pregnant people do, but pushed through until the symptoms lessened with time. Her second pregnancy, in 1999, was another s

Nadia Murad dreamed of running her own beauty salon in Kojo, a small farming village in northern Iraq. “In my imagination, the salon was a safe space where women and girls could share ideas, learn things, and have something for themselves,” she says.

On Oct. 4, 2023, some 1,500 Israeli and Palestinian women descended on Jerusalem and the shores of the Dead Sea. Wielding blue and yellow flags representing two different grassroots peace organizations, they gathered to demand an end to the “cycle of

When Andra Day stepped onto the podium at Super Bowl LVIII, it was a moment she had waited years to experience—not because she was singing on the biggest television broadcast of the year, but because she was finally given the chance to perform the Bl

While fictional fantasy series transport viewers to impossible worlds full of magic and mysticism, they also tend to look an awful lot like medieval Europe. The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, The Witcher and many of the most famous fantasy films

It takes hubris to mess with one of the defining TV events of the 20th century. The original Shogun, a miniseries based on James Clavell’s best-selling 1975 doorstop, was a massive hit when it aired on NBC in 1980. Nearly a third of American househol

On my second day in L.A., back in 1984, my car caught on fire and I lost everything. I could have turned around and bought a bus ticket home to St. Louis. Instead, I chose to stay and press on. Forty years later, I’m not only still in Los Angeles, bu

Kate Winslet is the queen of the HBO miniseries, collecting Emmys for Mildred Pierce and Mare of Easttown. She may win a third for her astute portrayal of the odd, fragile demagogue at the center of The Regime. Yet because it is a comedy, the funny,

Once I became a celebrity, Miami was my biggest market. Flying in from New York City, I could perform in two clubs in one night. Back then, those gigs paid $10,000, or maybe $12,000. It was good, easy money, and they treated me like the star I had be

You don’t shy away from talking about therapy and intimacy. What was it like leaning into that kind of vulnerability? I never want to do comedy that feels like it’s critiquing others without critiquing myself. That’s been a rule for me. This special
