Young People Don’t Need Another Lecture About Phones Original
The first time I banned devices from one of my classes, I thought I was restoring attention. I was tired of half-lit faces and distracted discussions, so I made a simple rule: no laptops, no phones.

How low can Herschel Walker go?

Why Spike Lee’s ‘Do the Right Thing’ Is Still Essential Viewing in Trump’s America
Spike Lee’s seminal Do the Right Thing is a film with several enduring legacies: it’s a movie that one prominent white critic predicted would cause riots; it’s a movie that, despite being hailed as the year’s best by the likes of Siskel & Ebert, was infamously snubbed by the Oscars in favor of the retrograde Driving Miss Daisy; and it’s the movie Barack and Michelle Obama saw together on their first date. But 30 years later, there is still so much to appreciate about this film.

Why Black Voters Are Gravitating to Biden

"I’ve spent decades studying elite schools. Here’s how their culture enables toxic masculinity."
At a prep school in the Midwest about 15 years ago, a freshman on the school’s football team was introduced to a disturbing locker room hazing ritual.

‘Die Hard’ at 30: How It Redefined the Sexy Action Hero
But the movie had an ace up it sleeve. Besides its killer script, action and directing, it had an uncharacteristically vulnerable lead character as its hero, NYC cop John McClane, someone whose sex appeal was derived from his emotional stamina, not the size of his pectorals. “He’s not an over-the-top superhero. He was an everyman,” writer and comedian Kevin Maher tells Playboy.
