For 10 years, Madison Hamburg has been leading what he calls a “double life.” He hadn’t told most people he knew that his mother Barbara Beach Hamburg was found murdered in the backyard of her Madison, Connecticut home back in 2010. He also hadn’t told most people that he’d spent much of his time since
And are there times where you aren’t wired in? Is there any sacred time where you’re off your phone? Ah, man, that’s tough. [laughs] I mean… No. Does that drive you crazy at all? No, I love it! Because if I didn’t love it, I wouldn’t be doing it. I assume you don’t track your

In the annals of Scottish hospitality, surely no transformation has been as impressive as that
2. PERSON YOU BARELY KNOW (BUT MAYBE HAVE MET ONCE OR TWICE) If you’re looking for a new partner because the sex with your current partner has become routine and boring because there was nothing for you guys to do during lockdown besides have sex, a complete stranger is the route for you. Whether it’s
Courtesy of Haven Riviera Cancun I wade into the cool waters of the serenity pool, a large, quiet oasis on the resort with sapphire water and a sloping zero-entry access. A seagull glides on the soft breeze above and the palm trees surrounding the pool gently rustle in the wind. The Haven Riviera Cancun is
So what interested you about Stanley? The environment that we were living in at the time that [Jungleland] got offered to me, where there was a lot of emphasis being put on toxic masculinity, I thought that there was just something really beautiful to explore about the genesis of where that comes from, men’s inability
My main thing was just, like…I was thinking about the homie. I was thinking about Nip. Because when we made the record, we went through so much shit. We were getting banned from certain venues. Certain cities, we couldn’t perform. We got a letter from the White House, you feel me? From the FBI. I
From Billions to Succession to Black Monday, finance shows are a hot stock. And now, there’s a new contender on the scene: Industry, the HBO workplace drama that answers the question, “what if Axe Capital was staffed entirely by sexy Gen-Zers?” (Lena Dunham directed the pilot, and it shows.) It follows a group of fresh
Re-alignment seems to be too strong a word for this — Right, because that implies a deeper, core value shift. Do you think that the incentives then, for more moderation and less euphemism, have started to shift already? I’m curious to see how long this lasts. Are they going to say, “Oh, this is an
Boasting 2,400 square feet with sweeping 180-degree panoramic views from the 24th floor of the Hotel, Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown’s Empire Suite is the perfect backdrop to the city that never sleeps.

Marriott Puerto Vallarta The golden beaches and majestic Sierra Madre Mountains of Puerto Vallarta have drawn visitors since Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton put this pretty Mexican resort town on the map way back in 1963. Today, it’s a mecca for sunseekers, surfers, and travelers who can admittedly be spoilt for choice when it comes
Druski’s parents are academically minded—his father, a pilot, attended Howard University and later graduated from the United States Air Force Academy and is a Wall of Honor nominee at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, while his mother has a Master of Science in Public Health and once worked at the Centers for Disease
As anyone who has tried to buy a Nintendo Switch over the past six months can tell you, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased the demand for video games, which provide escapism, time-killing, and a link to the outside world in one convenient package. And so, although new video game consoles are always met with
It’s a fracture in the Democratic Party that unfolded in public over the weekend following the election, in a pair of interviews in The New York Times in which progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and moderate Conor Lamb took shots at each other. In response to Ocasio-Cortez criticizing the Lamb campaign for an anemic Facebook presence, Lamb,
[He] becomes the star of the game, stands out there and I say, “Barry do you want to do this interview?” He looked at me and decided to do the interview, and [right before it] he said, “Jim Gray you’re alright with me.” [In his book, Gray writes, “I can’t explain why he did that.”]
On November 12, 2016, Dave Chappelle hosted Saturday Night Live just days after Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. Many hoped the moment would be a salve: a legendary comedian with a penchant for social critique providing insight, humor, and temporary relief to help reckon with justifiable fear about the future. After
The arc of Ariana Grande’s career is generally understood in two halves: B.S. (Before Sweetener) and A.S. (After Sweetener). B.S. consists of, allegedly, unremarkable teeny bopper-oriented radio fodder, while A.S. is the edgier, more grown-up era. Even starting with her 2013 debut Yours Truly, though, there has been an aesthetic throughline to Grande’s work —
