Five-Hour• Work•Day noun Transforming the 9 to 5 job into a 9 to 2 How Would We Get Everything Done? Economist John Maynard Keynes, in 1930, predicted his grandchildren would grow up to work just 15 hours a week. Advances in technology and education had already led to an explosion of productivity, after all. Needless to say, the prediction hasn’t quite worked out as expected. Despite productivity gains in every sector — one study estimates a full day of office work in 1970 can now be completed in an hour and a half — Americans are working more than ever. That’s because […]

On Valentine’s Day, We Send Our Love To The People Of Afghanistan. We Demand That The Biden Administration Unfreeze Afghanistan’s Assets So They Can Restart Their Economy And Feed Their People. After 20 years of war in Afghanistan, Peace Action welcomed the withdrawal of troops from the country and an end to the war. Yet when the United States military pulled out of Afghanistan, the Biden administration also responded by choking off assets to Afghan banks and the economy by freezing the reserves of the Afghan Central Bank held in the U.S. They also imposed sanctions on those doing business with […]

At the US State Department’s Summit for Democracy (9–10 December), US President Joe Biden announced a range of initiatives to ‘bolster democracy and defend human rights globally’. These measures are to be funded by $424.4 million from the United States. This money will go towards the same institutions that have – for the past sixty years – intervened to undermine the sovereignty of democratic processes from Iran (1953) and Guatemala (1954) to Honduras (2009) and Bolivia (2019).

In the six years that Michael Ugwu has worked as an Uber driver in New York City, he’s seen a growing share of his earnings diverted into venture capitalists’ pockets. Uber and Lyft require workers to assume a myriad of expenses that can quickly trap drivers like Ugwu into debt and poverty. “Currently, they’re taking out between 35 to 40 percent, when you add up all the deductions,” Ugwu says. “You end up not having enough to pay rent, […]

Cary Grant’s most prized possession was either his father’s pocket watch, or a gold chain that he wore around his neck that held one of Jennifer’s baby teeth in Lucite, and three charms that represented the three religions of his four ex-wives: a St. Christopher medal from the Catholic Virginia Cherrill, a small cross representing the Protestant religions of Barbara Hutton and Betsy Drake, and a Star of David for the Jewish Dyan Cannon.

North Dakota authorities are still searching for a 47-year-old mother who went missing nearly two weeks ago after leaving a small gathering on foot—and family members believe her disappearance may be tied to a love triangle. Anne Fitzsimonds, 47, walked away from the party at a farmstead in rural Petersburg—at least 26 miles away from her Inkster home—around 1:30 a.m on Oct. 4. She was wearing only a leather jacket, jeans, and cowboy boots, despite the frigid temperature, which dipped as low as 29 degrees. “There was no reason for her to leave. Why she left nobody seems to be able […]
As Savannah Guthrie grilled Donald Trump on QAnon at Trump’s town hall event, he did his usual lying and dodging and then whined to Guthrie about Antifa and asked her: “Why aren’t you asking Joe Biden questions about, why doesn’t he condemn Antifa?” Let’s settle this. Joe Biden does not have to denounce Antifa. He’s done so, anyway, but even if he hadn’t, he has utterly no responsibility to do so, and since this appears to be an attack line Trump might amp up in these waning days, it’s important for people to understand why. It’s important because it probably sounds […]

While his caramel brown amour is standing in an open space, this lovesick horse is confined inside his stable, so all he could get is a rear view of his ravishing girlfriend. […]

Many relationships face the most passion and temper in the beginning, but for some people, things become most dramatic only after the love is gone and the couple splits up. A Northampton County man named Jason Muzzicato, suspected for launching a drone to drop bombs near the house of his ex-girlfriend, has received a five-year sentence on weapons charges, according to federal court documents. The series of small blasts that the community of Bangor, Maine, saw last year appeared to be a squabble between ex-lovebirds becoming way too passionate. After being arrested during an investigation into the blasts, Muzzicato was charged […]
As Sofia Coppola has gotten older, so too have her protagonists, which makes it easy to see them—and their plights—as reflections of the aspirations and anxieties currently preoccupying the auteur. That’s once again true with On the Rocks, the story of a 39-year-old writer struggling with insecurity, suspicions about her husband, and the long shadow cast by her larger-than-life father, here played by Coppola’s Lost in Translation headliner Bill Murray with more mega-watt vivacity than he’s shown in years.

In the history of love stories, few have been as strange and unlikely as the one depicted in My Octopus Teacher. Netflix’s first original South African feature documentary concerns the wholly unexpected, and ostensibly transformative, affair struck between Craig Foster, a South African filmmaker, and an amphibious mollusk that he discovered in the Atlantic Ocean near the small seaside bungalow he frequented as a kid. It’s a relationship that transcends all boundaries, and serves as a quietly profound (and crazy) portrait of the bonds we share with everything in our environment—even if its cinematic depiction is sometimes far from perfect.

What happens when you take 10 “sexy singles,” give them all COVID-19 tests, and make them share one tiny Las Vegas hotel room after months of isolation? Extreme horniness and a flagrant disregard for safety procedures ensue. So begins the second season of CBS’s Love Island, the US adaptation of the British reality dating show of the same name. When Love Island USA premiered last summer, it failed to pack the steamy, dramatic punch of its original iteration from across the pond. Cast members were forgettable and the canned voiceover narration turned out to be more cheesy than charming. This year, […]

Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen insisted that President Donald Trump’s continued embrace of Confederate memorials and bases named after Lost Cause generals has nothing to do with any “love” for the Confederacy but rather the desire to defend them from “cancel culture.” Thiessen, a Washington Post columnist who recently held court with Trump for an obsequious interview, appeared Friday on Fox News’ America’s Newsroom to discuss some of the revelations from his friendly chat with the president. Besides claiming Trump is apparently unconcerned about his plummeting poll numbers because the president “remains confident” due to his own internal polling, Thiessen weighed […]

Fight for $15. Never underestimate US business community’s capacity for hypocrisy. That’s one of the lessons to be drawn from the explosive reaction to George Floyd’s murder. As demonstrators began flooding streets, corporate PR departments flew into rapid response mode, issuing […]
Donald Trump has been bleeding supporters among a variety of demographic groups since his election. Suburbanites have left him, evangelicals are showing signs of disillusionment, and working class whites are starting to jump ship. But even in times of distress, there is one group of Trump fans whose commitment seems absolute: boaters. Trump and the boat-owner class have a special relationship, forged through shared interests and a fair bit of TLC. His campaign has long been enamored with the visuals of Trump-adoring boaters flying their MAGA flags high as they make their way down various waterways. In just the past two […]
Serena Williams’ coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, has hinted that the six-time champion could overcome not having her daughter at a heavily restricted US Open in order to target glory after an “extremely difficult” break from tennis. Women’s number one Ashleigh Barty, men’s number one Novak Djokovic and reigning champion Rafael Nadal have been among a succession of stars voicing doubts about whether they would play at the tournament under proposed new rules for players, while Mouratoglou has warned that veteran Williams would struggle to go a day without seeing her daughter.

President Donald Trump says Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, a largely police-free community space fashioned amid protests, is run by “domestic terrorists.” Seattle’s police department made (and walked back) a claim about anarchists “extorting” businesses in the area. But actual businesses around the zone say they’re watching Ava DuVernay films, handing out granola bars, and having a nice time. Following several nights of showdowns between police and protesters, in which cops made liberal use of tear gas and flash grenades, Seattle reached a detente with activists on June 9. The city would open up a few streets for Black Lives Matter […]
