The week before the 2026 Brit Awards, we began to hear murmurs about Harry Styles’s red carpet look. It would be fabulous and it would be womenswear-focused and there would be a very specific shoe moment. Reader, we spent a large portion of the next few days dreaming up what the next step on from that ballet shoe at the Grammys could be. We’d show you the mood board, but it’s filed somewhere in our minds between this week’s dispatches from Milan Fashion Week, featuring the Bella Hadid-ification of the Prada runway and Maria Grazia Chiuri bringing back Karl Lagerfeld…

I never knew how easy it was to die in an orgy. But that’s just one of the many threats facing Geralt of Rivia in his latest adventure. The studio behind the Reigns series of Tinder-like choose-your-own-adventure games has now adapted The Witcher, following a handful of original titles and a take on Game of Thrones. And for Francois Alliot, creative director at Reigns studio Nerial, the series’ structure actually makes it an ideal way to ease players into sprawling fantasies like this. “There’s something about the way you can bring really complex universes, lore, and storylines to simple actions,”…

You’ll need to choose one or the other during setup. Like…

Friday afternoon, just as this interview was getting underway, a news alert flashed across my computer screen: the Trump administration was severing ties with Anthropic, the San Francisco AI company founded in 2021 by Dario Amodei. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had invoked a national security law to blacklist the company from doing business with the Pentagon after Amodei refused to allow Anthropic’s tech to be used for mass surveillance of U.S. citizens or for autonomous armed drones that could select and kill targets without human input. It was a jaw-dropping sequence. Anthropic stands to lose a contract worth up to…

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” That query, pulled from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, has escaped the realm of animation and reappeared in print, on the web (HotorNot), and dating apps. The implicit understanding is that fairness is judged by the male gaze.

In your lifetime, you have no doubt witnessed backlashes, cancellations, and the Streisand Effect. You have seen social media sites become bad, and alternatives crop up and become bad themselves. You have seen Chick Fil-A protested for too much homophobia, and later for not enough homophobia. You’ve seen members of the Dixie Chicks apologize to George W.

Bush say “we need more families like The Waltons than The Simpsons” in a campaign speech only to lose, and see The Simpsons become so successful it eventually became…
