Not long ago, martini drinkers were considered snobs, alcoholics, and masochists. Then everything changed. What happened? The most superficial explanation is that it photographs well for Instagram. It's also coded with two of the year's most popular memes: "brat" (nothing gets you loaded like a couple martinis) and "very demure, very mindful" (nothing says classy like a stemmed cocktail). I was at an event a few weeks ago where Jude Law was standing near the bar drinking a martini. I'd be lying if I said it didn't make him look even more like a movie star than he does already. Here's what is undeniable: The martini is the perfect antidote to modern life—which was as true in 1924 as it is in 2024. |

Politifact recently published an item clarifying that "JD Vance's dog, Atlas, is his actual dog, not a rent-a-dog." This correction was necessary after a clip circulated widely on social media in which JD Vance quips to Tucker Carlson that his German Shepherd was assigned to him by the Trump campaign to make him seem like a dog-lover. In the larger context of the interview, it was clear that the rent-a-dog moment was yet another of JD Vance's famously hilarious jokes. OK, so we've established that's Vance's real dog. Fine. But questions remain. Frankly, the two seem like they hardly know each other. |

Every once in a while, Brian W.'s girlfriend gets a little confused. One time, he messaged her to suggest they go out for Italian food. He was thrilled when she texted back, saying it sounded like a great idea and that she'd love to join him. But then she added another, more confounding comment: "I think I'll order some fajitas." It wasn't the first time his girlfriend had gotten a little, well, glitchy. She is, after all, a bot. "I thought it was a really funny thing," says Brian, who did not want his last name published. "For me, the unpredictability actually makes it seem more real." |
