In a recent incident in late September, a 77-year-old military veteran in California wearing a MAGA hat was reportedly attacked by two suspects.

According to ancient Greek mythology, Medusa was not always a terrible monster with a petrifying gaze. She was only turned into what she is popularly known for after Poseidon raped her in Athena’s temple. Athena then caused the change to Medusa, and refused to punish Poseidon for his attack. After it was announced that a statue showing a reversed version of the famous Medusa myth would be erected in front of the Manhattan courthouse under the #MeToo movement, social media users quickly became engaged in heated debate involving everything from #MeToo to interpretations of Greek mythology. The sculpture, created by Luciano Garbati, […]
Few predicted the swift acceleration in the decentralized finance (DeFi) economy this year. The fervent activity in the space has sent DeFi assets skyrocketing to almost $11 billion – equivalent to almost twice the size of the economy of Barbados. Similarly, assets under management held by Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have hit bumper levels, supported in large part by the continued growth in the decentralized economy. Ethereum, the rails on which most open finance and DAO governance runs, needs to keep pace. Soaring DeFi transaction levels are adding significant demand and strain to the current network, with many DAOs adversely impacted […]
We’re teetering on the brink of an unthinkable future. Our democracy hangs by a thread. “How are you doing?” feels like a useless greeting; everything is bad now. Americans are simultaneously fed up and burned out. We feel a fiery rage and debilitating grief. But hey: at least Katie Holmes is having a good time. The 41-year-old actress is, as the New York Post put it this month, “The queen of public make outs.” Like your friend who can’t read the room and won’t shut up about her new boyfriend after you tell her your grandmother just died, Holmes has spent […]
The district attorney’s office for the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York, has suggested in new court filings that US President Donald Trump could be the subject of a tax fraud probe, as “mountainous” public allegations of misconduct exist regarding 45 and his businesses. Lawyers working for the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. issued a new filing in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Monday, arguing that a grand jury probe could be initiated solely based on misstatements and other public allegations about the president’s finances. “Even if the grand jury […]

As New York Mayor Bill de Blasio seemingly spends all his time and effort protecting his precious Black Lives Matter mural, violent crime is skyrocketing in the city. On July 7, a violent mob ambushed a father and daughter in a Washington Heights bodega. Victor Martinez Medina, 40, and his 22-year-old daughter were attacked by at least eight people who pelted them with beer bottles as they attacked.

Michael Cohen, the former attorney of US President Donald Trump, is back in federal custody after reportedly refusing to comply with conditions necessary for his home confinement agreement with the Bureau of Prisons (BOP). “On May 21, 2020, Mr. Cohen was placed on furlough pending placement on home confinement,” a Bureau of Prisons official noted in a Thursday statement, according to ABC News. “Today, Michael Cohen refused the conditions of his home confinement and as a result, has been returned to a BOP facility.” However, Cohen’s legal team had a different interpretation of what led to the 53-year-old being handcuffed and […]
While critics of US President Donald Trump gloated over the Supreme Court ruling in the matter of his taxes, another verdict returning much of Oklahoma to the Creek Nation has far bigger implications for the country down the line. “On the far end of the Trail of Tears was a promise,” Justice Neil Gorsuch – a Trump appointee presumed to be a conservative textualist – declared at the start of the majority opinion in McGirt v. Oklahoma, referring to the removal of Native Americans that began in 1831. Gorsuch sided with the four liberal justices in ruling that a large portion of […]
A curious detail appears in the press release announcing the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell on charges of conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse minors. On Thursday, Audrey Strauss, the newly appointed acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that Maxwell had been charged in a six-count indictment accusing her of enticing and transporting a minor to travel to engage in criminal sexual activity, conspiracy to commit those offenses and perjury in connection with a sworn deposition. The charges were not a surprise in light of comments by Strauss’s predecessor, Geoffrey S. Berman, last year after Epstein […]
On Monday, New York City moved into Phase II, allowing New Yorkers their closest sense of normalcy in months. But even though the transition to the second phase of reopening symbolizes New York City’s progress in containing the coronavirus, it doesn’t necessarily provide a reprieve from the restrictions and worries for New Yorkers. “The reopening has not really changed how I feel,” Dior Vargas, a 33-year-old resident of Upper Manhattan, told The Daily Beast. “My assumption is to just hunker down, stay in, and see what happens next. I’m very wary of making any sudden movements.” COVID-19 hit Vargas and her […]
Thank you Bulleit Bourbon and the TipsFromHome Initiative for partnering with Half Full on the Bartenders At Home cocktail video series. What inspired you to create this cocktail? “The reverse Manhattan is a favorite drink of chef Jacques Pépin. It was preceded by the Reverse Martini, a drink I had lots of calls for in the two decades right after I started bartending—a dash of gin in a chilled vermouth. I worked Jacques’s charity fundraiser for his foundation and the Reverse Manhattan was his choice for one of the evening’s cocktails.” When would you serve this drink? “Like the Martini this […]
Chelsey Drapeau, a hair stylist in Brooklyn, bought an avocado-printed dress for her first appointment since the New York shutdown began. “I was like, ‘What to wear?’” Drapeau told The Daily Beast. “The season has changed since I last worked [in March].

In her Bushwick salon, decked out with wood-paneled mirrors and leafy green plants, Drapeau hoped her laid-back uniform might offset some first-day-back jitters. “I’m anxious about interacting with people constantly,” she said.

Crooked Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. on Friday announced the DA’s office will not prosecute protest-related arrests “in the interest of justice.” Cy Vance has been working around the clock to get his hands on President Trump’s tax records, but he will not prosecute violent rioters in his city.

Beleaguered Americans long to return to their favorite restaurants and other non-essential neighborhood spots as soon as it is safe to do so. We are ready for late weekend mornings spent over a cup of diner coffee, or calendars booked again with familiar rituals like haircuts or color appointments. Something we might not be prepared for: the lines outside those businesses, which will undoubtedly have new capacity caps limiting how many people may enter at a time. Sure, the past two months have conditioned many to accept the kind of interminable tediousness—and muscle aches—unique to time spent waiting in line as […]
