The President Is Pushing the Exact Conspiracies Cited by the Pittsburgh Shooter 5 Days After the Attack
 
Finally, President Trump has released his very own Willie Horton ad. The original was crafted by the 1988 campaign of George H. W. Bush, now considered a member of the Republican Party's polite aristocrat wing—that is, the folks who use the inside voice while trying to scare the bejeezus out of old white people, and, consequently, get them to the voting booth. There is no inside voice for Donald Trump, who released a racist bullhorn of a political ad Wednesday, a neat encapsulation of his party's strategy for the homestretch of the 2018 midterms. Fittingly, he tweeted it out himself. No dogwhistles, no middle man. Read More

For Esther Perel, Romance and Power Are Intertwined
 
Perel is the rare podcast host who is mostly silent as her guests talk about themselves. That's not to say you don't wish to hear more of her, either interjecting into the conversations with her guests or zooming out, offering some analysis and insight directly to her listeners. But it's her job to let her guests speak. On Where Should We Begin?, which premiered its third season October 5 on Audible, Perel invites real-life couples to participate in therapy. And she also invites us to listen in as they talk about their problems—problems that, if you've ever been intertwined romantically with anyone, might seem all too familiar. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
24 Years Later, the Beastie Boys Finally Explain What 'Sabotage' Is About
 
When the Beastie Boys released "Sabotage" as the first single off Ill Communication in early 1994, the song became a defining track of the decade. Much of this is thanks to Spike Jonze's music video, which acted as a parody of '70s cop shows, and gave the song its iconic middle-finger attitude. It's maintained that anti-authority feeling ever since. Though the uses of the song have remained clear throughout the last two decades, members of the Beastie Boys have never explained its actual meaning, until now. Read More

Neil Young Calls Out the NRA in a New Concert Video for the Protest Anthem 'Ohio'
 
Thank you, Canada, for giving us Neil Young, a national treasure in this country. Young, who's a wily 72 years old, just released a new music video for the song "Ohio," which he wrote and recorded with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young in 1970. The song is a slow, searing depiction of the Kent State massacre, in which Ohio National Guardsmen shot and killed four unarmed students. Read More
