The most famous dysfunctional family of 1990s television enjoyed, by today’s standards, an almost dreamily secure existence.

Do you like your job? Maybe you do, but I think you should reevaluate. At the very least, I think you should be uncomfortable with the fact that you live in a system that compels you to have a job, particularly if that job is neither necessary for your own well-being nor the well-being of others.

Trump hasn't succeeded in overturning the election results but he has persuaded a third of Americans that Biden wasn't legitimately elected...

IN 2007, the Bush administration’s Justice Department sent me a letter saying it was conducting a criminal investigation into “the unauthorized disclosure of classified information” in my 2006 book, “State of War.” When my lawyers called the Justice Department about the letter, the prosecutors refused to say I was not a “subject” of their leak investigation. That was ominous. If I were considered a “subject,” rather than simply a witness, it meant the government hadn’t ruled out prosecuting me for publishing classified information.

Tax cuts for the wealthy have long drawn support from conservative lawmakers and economists who argue that such measures will "trickle down" and eventually boost jobs and incomes for everyone else. But a new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of such tax cuts have only helped one group — the rich.

Deciphering the most beloved, most reviled children’s-book author in history.

Millions will owe an average of $5,850 in back rent and utilities next month. But the latest aid package did too little to address housing.

Dear Macken­zie Scott, This week, you announced that you’ve made $4.2 bil­lion in char­i­ta­ble dona­tions in the past four months. For that you deserve an extreme­ly mod­est amount of con­grat­u­la­tions! You are, no doubt, besieged at all times by peo­ple who come to kiss your ass and beg for mon­ey. We come to you today with some­thing dif­fer­ent: moral con­dem­na­tion leav­ened with only the faintest sense of praise — com­bined with an idea that offers redemp­tion for you and for the belea­guered reg­u­lar peo­ple of Amer­i­ca at the same time.

Working time reduction has always been used as a way of distributing available work and reducing unemployment. In our era of crisis, we need to fight for a four-day week.

If you haven't heard of the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon by now, perhaps it's irresponsible of me to tell you about it. Essentially, a member of a sketchy Internet forum alleged that he is a high level government official with secret information about a satanic cult run by Democrat pedophiles and their sex-trafficking associates. It's the same old antisemitic dogwhistle all over again, but with a fun new twist: President Donald Trump has surreptitiously dedicated his career...

“Oh, that’s a nice button. It has a good click.” “Is it a $550 click?” I asked. He clicked it a few more times. “It’s not *not* a $550 click.”

The forty-third president set the stage for a world-historical dimwit to run the nation into the ground. I always thought George W. Bush wasn’t very bright and never liked him. I’ve never met him, but everyone I know who knew him thought he was a lightweight. However, when Bush was first elected, I was still a good conservative and a loyal Republican, so I sucked it up and avoided criticizing him, focusing my attention on those things Bush said and did with which I happened to agree.

Socialist-minded millennial heirs are trying to live their values by getting rid of their money.

Since its debut, The Mandalorian has consistently been one of the most fun and unabashedly joyous sectors of the ever-expanding Star Wars universe. A rare, much-needed space western, Jon Favreau’s Disney+ creation works on multiple levels that allows to show to be enjoyed by diehard fans and casual viewers alike (something I praised heartily after Season 2’s excellent premiere). One of the best ways it achieves that is through very episodic storytelling, which complements its weekly release schedule, revitalizing an “Adventure of the Week” genre that felt like it was on its way out of TV fashion.

The first in a series of posts that not only defends the creative decisions made by Neil Druckmann, but truly appreciates them.

Elon Musk wants to build a city on Mars, but Werner Herzog says the plan is unequivocally a "mistake." SpaceX CEO Musk has a plan to send the first humans to Mars in the mid-2020s, using the under-development Starship rocket. Once they get there, Musk wants to build out a self-sustaining, million-strong city on Mars by 2050.

Bette Midler has tweeted a scathing open letter directing at Donald Trump, mocking the president's refusal to concede and urging people to ignore him. The Hocus Pocus star is famously not a fan of the Trump administration, often tweeting her disdain for the president—and she did not hold back in her latest tirade on Twitter.

No story excites children quite like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. First published in 1964 by English author, Roald Dahl, the story continues to capture imaginations. 1 The premise is simple, a usually unlucky boy is one of five winners of a worldwide competition. The prize is a once in a lifetime opportunity to tour a world famous chocolate factory. As an added bonus, the winning children are given a lifetime supply of sweet treats. There is scarcely a child who would not want that.

Dr. Harry Rakowski: A weary world is praying this is the end of our COVID-19 fight. How excited should we be? In 1942, Winston Churchill delivered a famous speech when British troops defeated Rommel’s forces at Alamein, a much needed victory that marked a key turning point in the ultimate defeat of Germany.

I don’t need God to bless me. I need you to approve a COVID-19 relief bill.
