    One Secret to Gen X Art: 'Adults Have Failed You"

    25+ min ago (331+ words) The New York Times Style Magazine is going big on Generation X, as evidenced by the headline on its cover story: "Is Gen X Actually the Greatest Generation?" Writer Amanda Fortini, herself a member, focuses on how a group often written off as "slackers" has generated so many artists with... One Secret to Gen X Art: 'Adults Have Failed You' - As Ellis puts it: "That stripping off the mask of boomer propriety and finding something else to align yourself with'that's what created us, that's what made us different from them," he says, citing in particular "the dreaded irony that everyone complains about when talking about the detached nihilism of Gen X." - The "slacker" label is thus off base, suggests Fortini. "Somewhere along the way, cynicism and ironic detachment became conflated with laziness," she writes. "Of course, in their desperation to strike…...

After chugging a Monster energy drink and unilaterally declaring war on Venezuela, Hegseth challenges reporters to "pretend I'm a random fishing boat and fire away!" He denies ordering a fatal second strike on survivors of an alleged drug smuggling boat while letting slip how much he's craving alcohol: "If I had a drink for every Venezuelan we've killed, I'd really like that number of drinks." Jost's Hegseth continues to hit the right notes of aggro buffoonery, while the show outright accusing him of committing war crimes and the administration of using the war on drugs as a smokescreen…...

    Saturday Night Live Recap: Melissa McCarthy

    2+ hour, 54+ min ago (309+ words) You can spot a McCarthy character coming from a mile away. They're usually turned up to 100 on every level: unpredictable, overbearing, and blessed with a bonkers physicality that can squeeze a laugh out of even the most reluctant viewer. McCarthy, who bagged an Emmy for hosting SNL in 2017, has a level of ease and familiarity on the Studio 8H stage that's difficult to fake. The show hummed right along into McCarthy's monologue, which saw her engulfed in a metric ton of fake snow and battling it out with Marcello Hern'ndez dressed as a Christmas elf. The monologue, which displayed McCarthy's confidence and comfort as an SNL host, was a good omen of things to come in this solid episode. Andrew Dismukes channels his best Tim Robinson in this late-episode highlight, as a guy who really just wants his friends to have…...
