This year, Pride Month arrives at an especially dire moment for the LGBTQ+ community. Under the second Trump administration, homophobic vitriol and violence are on the rise. On Elon Musk’s X platform, a “deepfake” video of Donald Trump canceling Pride Month has gone viral. And even as Pride celebrations continue as planned (in many places without as many corporate contributions), the attacks against LGBTQ+ people, especially transgender people, seem to be on steroids. After all, since taking office a second time, Trump has issued executive orders that ban transgender women in sports and transgender troops in the military, while limiting federal recognition to two genders. And his executive actions are only the spear tip of a significantly larger legislative attempt... Read more

My boyfriend and I met at a party hosted by a friend of a friend of mine and a friend of a friend of his. This is an anthropological event, an epochal miracle.
He seemed like the kind of guy who would be on my Hinge Standouts (chiseled scruffy jaw, lean, “Greatest strength: Making reservations”), so I approached him.
It was difficult to figure him out—was he in a relationship? Gay? Moderate? A smoker? Didn’t want kids? Looking for something short-term? Without being able to consult a profile, I didn’t even know how tall he was. After the party, he asked me to get a drink.
When we met the following week at a wine bar in Williamsburg, I certainly walked in feeling above everyone else. The place was swarming with online first daters who approached each other hesitantly, inspecting angles to see if their faces matched their profile, and giving awkward hugs. We didn’t need that. We met at a party.
I knew right away that something was off, but with a magical, real-life meet cute, I was willing to put nearly anything aside.

The Northumberland Line, a £300 million project led by the county council, opened in December 2024 to little fanfare. But it was recently revealed to have had five times as many riders as expected in the first five months. It is not alone in massively exceeding its ridership predictions. These figures remind us of the […]
Early in President Trump’s first term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes, and it felt urgent to track them, to ensure these horrors—happening almost daily—would not be forgotten. Now that Trump has returned to office, amid civil rights, humanitarian, economic, and constitutional crises, we felt it critical to make an inventory of this new round of horrors. This list will be updated monthly between now and the end of Donald Trump’s second term.
