The 24-Hour Window: The Race to Keep Claims Out of Litigation
In insurance, the first 24 hours after a claim is filed are often the most important. It is the carrier’s best opportunity to make a strong first impression, establish trust and help policyholders understand what comes next during a period of uncertainty. It is also a critical window to reach claimants before confusion, frustration or attorney influence changes the direction of the claim. When carriers engage quickly, the benefits extend far beyond that initial conversation.
3 Key Technology Shifts for 2026
As an industry, insurance no longer views AI as a novelty. But with this embrace comes higher standards. Insurers have become more discerning buyers and plan to invest large percentages of their own in-house budgets into technology products and teams. Insurance IT spending hit $185 billion in 2024 and is forecast to grow 8.5% each year, reaching $420 billion by 2033.
Is cheating always a bad thing?
It’s been a long time since I’ve made a mistake. Spelling errors, sure. Overspending, maybe. Ghosting friends for a week, absolutely. But real mistakes? Tangible, potentially life-altering mistakes? None. Not since I was 21 and I quit a degree in veterinary medicine to move to New York with a thousand dollars in the bank. Now that I’m on the cusp of turning 30, I’ve found myself looking back over the past decade and trying to extract some sort of life lesson.
A queer journey, soundtracked by Bronski Beat
Tom Rasmussen is a musician, author, journalist and drag performer. Released in October 1984, Bronski Beat’s seminal debut album The Age of Consent is an emotive exploration of queer culture, and a defiant statement in support of LGBTQ+ rights. What follows is the remembered diary of an Age of Consent listener, recollecting moments when the music soundtracked the narrator’s life.
A queer journey, soundtracked by Bronski Beat
10 hours ago Former Uproxx cover star Tate McRae is back with a new single and video, “It’s OK I’m OK,” which she dropped today after completing the US leg of her most recent tour and spending the past week promoting the new song.

London Fashion Week: the fab home of freaks, outsiders & getting fucked up
22 Images London Fashion Week is like the dumb, slutty, and really fun sister of the other fashion weeks. Having had the privilege and also the lack of self-worth to attend fashion week in all of the big four cities – that’s New York, Paris, Milan, London for those not in the know – at least once in my sad little life, I have to admit that London is leaps and bounds ahead of all the others in terms of vibe.
What if my partner is having better sex with someone else?
Journalist Tom Rasmussen confides in Vogue about his open relationship. I’ve spent a lot of time asking myself why I like sex so much. And for some reason I’ve yet to discuss in therapy, I’ve found comfort in answers linked to purity: I like it for the pleasure, the connection, the intimacy, for discovering the truth of another person.
En couple libre : que faire si mon partenaire a de meilleures relations sexuelles avec les autres ?
Le journaliste Tom Rasmussen nous confie les dessous de son couple libre. Ces dernières années, je me suis beaucoup demandé pourquoi j'aimais autant le sexe. Et cela m'était difficile de le savoir vraiment même avec mon psy. Cela me rassurait de l'expliquer avec des raisons pétries de bien-pensance : le plaisir, la connexion à l'autre, l'intimité, la possibilité de découvrir une forme de vérité sur la personne...

Tom Rasmussen: NAIA policy decision the right one
I am writing to comment on the recent NAIA policy decision concerning college athletes which effectively bans transgender athletes from competing in woman's sports. I do applaud this decision. As the NAIA president said: "the purpose is to provide a fair playing field for women's sports and to keep women safe from privacy invasion in the locker room." This seems like a very proper and honorable decision.
In an open relationship, is there really such a thing as cheating?
I had always figured that cheating on my partner was sort of impossible since we agreed to be in an open relationship. Before, when we were monogamous, the parameters of what was and was not cheating were incredibly clear: No sleeping with other people. Flirting (for us) fine, porn (for us) fine. But now we did the thing we didn’t used to do. In fact, not only did we sleep with other people, we developed long-term sexual and emotional connections with people too. And we told each other all about it.

Open marriage: what if my partner is having better sex with someone else?
I’ve spent a lot of time asking myself why I like sex so much. And for some reason I’ve yet to discuss in therapy, I’ve found comfort in answers linked to purity: I like it for the pleasure, the connection, the intimacy, for discovering the truth of another person. But when my partner and I decided to have an open marriage four years ago, I found it hard to admit that a large part of my love for sex had to do with my ego—with feeling hot, feeling desired, feeling chosen.

Témoignage : pourquoi j'ai décidé d'avoir un mariage non-monogame ?
Lorsque j'ai commencé à coucher avec d'autres personnes que mon mari, j'ai ressenti une excitation qui faisait défaut à notre relation monogame. J'ai ressenti le plaisir de découvrir un nouveau corps, la perte fébrile d'une certaine forme de contrôle, la montée du désir et de la peur d'être vulnérable face à l'inconnu. J'ai également constaté que cette décision suscitait un intérêt nouveau, de la part de nos proches, pour notre relation.
5 Fat Activists On Deconstructing The Toxic Idea Of A ‘Summer Body’
I’ve been fat my whole life. I was a fat baby, a fat kid, a fat adolescent, a fatter teen, a fat twenty-something, and I’m fat right now. I have been obsessively dieting, and gaining, and dieting for as long as I can remember: bound by the pressures of the oftentimes image-obsessed gay community which I’m in, and the wider world’s general idolisation of the thin white body.

「完美的烘焙品每年可能只會出現一、兩次，但正是在追求完美的過程中，我們經常會發現某些更好的東西，因此淬煉出一個更完善的做法。」 Talia Richard-Carvajal 的座右銘是追求完美，她是一位世界頂尖的烘焙師，目前也擔任丹麥最有名麵包店「Hart Bageri」的創意總監。這間位在哥本哈根的烘焙坊，被譽為全世界最佳麵包店，而讓人最不敢相信的是，作為不可或缺的領導人之一，Talia 只有 32 歲！ 這絕對不是那種你在Tik-Tok上會看到的麵包店，噱頭大過本質。在 Talia 的領導之下，Hart Bageri 追求的是風格和內涵的完美結合，回歸完美的烘焙點心、無可挑剃的可頌、十全十美的小豆蔻麵包、城市麵包、黑麥麵包、罌粟籽丹麥酥（Tebirkes）與斯潘道丹麥酥（Spandauer）。 「Richard Hart（麵包店的創辦人）曾經告訴我，完美的烘焙品每年可能只會出現一、兩次而已，」Talia 說到，「但正是在追求完美的過程中，我們經常會發現某些更好的東西，因此淬煉出一個更完善的做法。Richard...
Can you ever successfully have a relationship with an ex?
Earlier this year I was sitting on the train, looking at my friend as she was telling me about a breakup. She was in a lot of pain. It wasn’t because of the reason for the breakup itself but because she was coming to the realisation that, really, she would likely never see the person she was breaking up with again—at least not on good or loving terms. If she were to see this person, she said, she would only ever feel bad or bad adjacent.

Why this tiny Copenhagen bakery is considered one of the world’s best
Talia Richard-Carvajal is in pursuit of perfection. She’s a baker (a star baker, one might say) who is now also the creative director of Hart Bageri. It’s certainly Copenhagen’s, and perhaps even the world’s, best bakery – and Richard-Carvajal is just 32 years old. This isn’t a bakery like the ones you see on TikTok, where a middle-aged dude makes a life-sized dragon out of tempered chocolate but you just know it tastes like a three-week-old Easter egg.
What comes after codependence?
It doesn’t feel very enlightened to admit it, but I’m not anti the idea of codependence. I mean, it’s sort of romantic—in a chic, pre-millennial toxic kind of way—as a concept really: One can’t function without the other; one must run everything by the other; one finishes the other person’s sentences. I used to relish this lack of distance in my relationship.

Offene Beziehung: Was die Beziehungsform richtig sexy macht? Genau, die Regeln!
Deswegen ist eine offene Beziehung ohne Regeln zum Scheitern verurteilt. Ob monogam oder offen – Beziehungen sind durch Regeln, Versprechen, manchmal sogar Gelübde definiert. Im monogamen Entwurf gibt es normalerweise ein klassisches Set an Richtlinien: Schlaf nicht mit anderen, mach nicht mit anderen rum, verlieb dich nicht in andere, flirte nicht mit anderen. Diese Regeln sind leicht zu befolgen – aber auch leicht zu brechen.
The Sexiest Part of an Open Relationship? The Rules Original
Whether open or monogamous, all relationships are defined by rules. Rules, promises, vows, even. Now, in a monogamous setup there’s usually only one rule: don’t fuck or fall in love with or flirt or fool around with anyone that isn’t me. It’s an easy rule to follow. And it’s an easy rule to break. In an open relationship rules are a little different. Their contents, and your relationship to them as a couple, is open season.
Żyję w otwartym małżeństwie. Czy to oznacza, że już nie pociągam partnera?
Samo jestem w relacji od dziewięciu lat, w tym rok po ślubie. Mój związek przez większość czasu był monogamiczny, ale trzy lata temu zdecydowaliśmy się na związek otwarty. Nigdy bym nie pomyślało, że jako osoba niezbyt atrakcyjna i zazwyczaj zazdrosna, co wynika z kompleksów na punkcie własnego wyglądu, mogłobym się na coś takiego zdecydować. Zanim wreszcie szczerze porozmawialiśmy na ten temat, bywałom zazdrosne – powiedziałobym, że nawet w niezdrowy sposób.
Dispatch From an Open Marriage: So, You Want to Attend a Sex Party
They’re happening. They’ve been happening for as long as sex has been sex, and people have been people. Groups of people have gathered in various locations, in groups of various sizes and various vibes, with the intention of having sex with each other.

Dispatch From an Open Marriage: Does It Mean I’m Unattractive If My Partner Wants to Sleep With Other People?
Recently a friend called me in a crisis. “He wants to sleep with other people,” she said. “Does that mean he doesn’t find me hot anymore?” Now what you must first know about this friend is that she’s really very attractive. Thus this proposition from her also very sexy partner of six years came as a surprise ambush. And the first thing she felt? A threat to her hotness. I’ve been in a relationship for nine years, married for one.
How 5 People Manage Their Open Relationships
Open relationships, to me, have always seemed like a minefield of hurt. I spent my early teens educating myself on relationships using the ultimate gal's guide to love: a copy of Cosmo and a weekly dose of Carrie B. I thought I knew everything. I was the practically celibate, advice-giving, rosé-chugging, chain-smoking, working-class amalgamation of “50 hot sex tips” and four fictional New York women, and on the hunt for the ultimate, the everything: The One.
Pride is for life, not just for Pride Month
It seems ironic that one of the more tiring months in which to be queer is Pride Month. And this year, it feels more intense than ever. I don’t want to complain about it too much for fear of being seen as, I dunno, ungrateful? Pride is a strange concept in the first place. It feels like a platitude to say it now, and still it bears repeating, that when it started it was a protest.
Why I went to Berlin-yes, Berlin-for a wellness break
In my mind, Berlin has always been synonymous with partying. It’s the kind of city whose nocturnal world feels repeatedly discoverable no matter how many times you go—like you might turn a corner, follow a neon light, and end up having the most transcendent night of your life. That’s why, as we do once a year, my partner and I had booked to go to Berlin for a week of after-dark exploits in the spring.

25 best 'Sex and the City' quotes
15. Stanford is his own work of under-appreciated genius. “Monogamy is on its way out again. It had a brief comeback in the ’90s, but as the millennium approaches, everyone’s leaving their options open.”—Stanford He’s not wrong! “We all judge. That’s our hobby. Some people do arts and crafts. We judge.” Once again, on the money! And finally the pièce de résistance: “Oh, my God, she’s fashion roadkill!” as Heidi Klum steps over Carrie in arguably the best Sex and the City episode of the show ever.
The 25 Best Lines from Sex and the City Original
Today marks twenty-five years, yes quarter of a century, since Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte first graced our screens in the sizzling hot Sex And The City pilot. It was 1998, and this show was something new: We were approaching the millennium, the ‘90s’s whole thing was optimism, and these four love-and-sex-enthusiasts arrived into our lives to present a new future for women and gays everywhere. A sort of pre-fourth-wave feminism feminism. Some good bits, some bad.
What an Episode of Bad Botox Taught Me About Bodily Acceptance Original
It was 2018, and I was twenty eight, lying there in a darkened hotel room, paying a backstreet Botox doctor in cash to knock out the wrinkles on my forehead. Two weeks later this botch-job would set in, and my flat mate would look at me with worry. “Are you okay?” they asked. I looked at my face in the mirror, my right eyelid drooped slightly and my forehead looked oddly like sliced cheese, I had done what only 85-year-old Upper East Side women are supposed to do and I’d botched my face.

Tom Rasmussen: Climate Change
A number of days ago I authored an opinion piece stating that I believe there is misguided public alarm being stoked by those advocating drastic and extremely costly governmental actions to fight purported current and future damage from climate change. For further thoughts on this subject, I would like to first summarize the views of one of our current presidential candidates, Robert F.
Tom Rasmussen: Climate change
An ongoing staple in our daily news cycle is that of alarm over some facet of climate change. This has been going on for years, probably accelerated by the publication of the book, "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore, in 2006. There is no argument from anyone that there is climate change. However a basic understanding of history shows that climates in all regions of the Earth have always continuously changed over time.
Kann Sex die politische Kluft zwischen zwei Menschen tatsächlich überbrücken?
Vertragen sich Sex und Politik wirklich nur bis zu einem gewissen Maße, fragen sich VOGUE-Autor:innen Tom Rasmussen Kann man mit jemandem Sex haben, der eine andere politische Überzeugung hat als man selbst? Kurz gesagt: Die Antwort lautet ja. Sie können – natürlich vorausgesetzt alle Beteiligten sind damit einverstanden – haben Sex mit wem Sie möchten. Sie können mit einem verheirateten, achtzigjährigen Konservativen schlafen, wenn Sie dies mögen. (Auf zwei dieser drei Eigenschaften stand ich mal).
Elly Schlein, an exclusive interview to Vogue Italia: “If you don't deal with politics, politics still deals with you”
What series do you prefer for unwinding? In terms of genre, I like mysteries set in Scandinavia, mountain villages, forests… But I am also a fan of series like Stranger Things, Vikings, The Crown. You spent your teenage years writing film reviews - which films inspire you? I will begin by saying that cinematographically I am an omnivore. But I especially like the work of Kim Ki Duk, a Korean director who unfortunately fell victim to Covid.
Why I Had a Potluck Wedding-And You Should Too Original
When my husband and I got engaged we had no savings in the bank. Honestly not a penny. This wasn’t a wedding to merge assets, clearly: We did it because we wanted to gather all our loved ones before everyone got too busy, too far away, or too dead to be there. When we decided to do it, it was January, freezing cold, and we were drunk.
Can Sex Bridge the Political Divide? Original
Can you have sex with someone who has a different political belief to you? In short, the answer is yes. You can, providing all parties are consenting, sleep with whomever you like. You can sleep with a married Republican octogenarian if you want. (Two of those three things used to be my type!) The real question here is: should you? Let’s start with the obvious: Single-issue disagreements are inevitable between two people who are breathing and interesting.
