Doja Cat has built a wildly successful career around being a weirdo: She has a hit song about being a cow, she shaved her head and eyebrows on Instagram Live, and she interacts with fans on social media more than most artists do. But it’s precisely this eccentricity that’s getting on a lot of people’s nerves lately—…

Today, we’ve got a new take on the classic tale of a semi-anonymous man on Instagram thinking he’s well within his right to comment on a woman’s body online. Let’s dig in.

Just when it appeared there’d never be a more captivating, confounding call-out of Ellen DeGeneres than Dakota Johnson’s on-air revelation that the daytime TV departee didn’t show up to her birthday party, an artist and author has accused Degeneres of asking for 6,000 copies of a tarot card deck he created. Seems…

Just days after Carlee Russell’s boyfriend asked the public to stop cyberbullying her no matter “what it seems like she did,” the Alabama woman admitted via her lawyer that her 49 hours of appearing to be “missing” was a hoax. And now, only after that bombshell press conference, Thomar Latrell Simmons is referring to…

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned last June, states like Iowa and Indiana have joined multiple states that have either enacted full abortion bans or certified their “trigger bans” into law—meaning patients in those states have been forced to travel hours and miles away to places with fewer restrictions.

It’s a tale as old as time: A group of men who very openly despise women assemble like the Avengers of upholding patriarchal violence and decide what pregnant people can and can’t do with their bodies. Over the weekend, a panel of all-male anti-abortion movement leaders gathered in Georgia to kick off a weekend of…

Abortion access is popular, even in red states: The pro-choice position won in all six states where it was on the ballot last year after the fall of Roe v. Wade. So now that an abortion rights ballot measure is going to a popular vote in Ohio in November, nervous Republicans are trying to make it harder for such…

New and nauseating accusations have been made in the ongoing litigation between the U.S. Virgin Islands and J.P. Morgan over their respective relationships with Jeffrey Epstein. That’s right; the battle royale between the mega bank and the sandbox for the obscenely wealthy continues and somehow has become more…

Darian Darling is living her dream life in her dream house—that is, her very own life-size Barbie Dreamhouse. The all-pink home, as featured in Apartment Therapy in 2010, went quasi-viral, she remembers. In photos, you can see how stubborn it is in its girlhood, with figurines of Betty Boop and Marilyn Monroe,…

Elon Musk, the unimaginative little twerp who’s owned Twitter since accidentally purchasing it last year, announced his latest self-inflicted wound over the weekend: He’s rebranding the company as “X,” which will supposedly allow Twitter to take the leap from social media platform to “everything app”—as explained by…

In response to the controversy over Jason Aldean’s song and video “Try That in a Small Town,” culture warrior Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) tweeted, “Cancel culture is the enemy of freedom of expression. I stand with @JasonAldean.” WRONG! In fact, being “canceled” is often good for streaming numbers, as we’ve seen…

UPDATE, 5:38pm: Carlee Russell, the Alabama woman whose 49 missing hours drew national attention, admitted through an attorney on Monday afternoon that her disappearance was a hoax.

Over the weekend, like droves of others across the country, I participated in the cultural phenomenon known as Barbenheimer. While Barbie was—in my colleague Rich Juzwiak’s words—a “clever dressing-down of the patriarchy,” Oppenheimer offered a more succinct, searing look at a byproduct of it: state-sanctioned mass…
