"The thought of sex creeps me out."

Some have visa programs geared toward freelancers, making it easy to live and work in large, beautiful spaces surrounded by nature — for a fraction of Northeast prices.

The Assistant Novel tends to be a gleeful “Gotcha” of the publishing world — a parting shot from a former assistant to the famous boss who made their life hell (the 2003 novel “The Devil Wears Prada” is the gold standard of the genre). But even though “A Star is Bored” by Byron Lane (Henry...

“Lies have always been a part of politics, but today defamation has replaced actual debate,” says conservative columnist Kurt Schlichter. In “The 21 Biggest Lies about Donald Trump (and you!),” (Regnery), out now, Schlichter — a US Army colonel turned trial lawyer and TV commentator — mounts an enthusiastic defense of President Trump and his...

Jane Buckingham, a 52-year-old Beverly Hills marketing executive and author of the “Modern Girl’s Guide to Life” book series, always told her two kids, Jack and Lilia, that “they’d end up fine, that she didn’t care if they went on to make money. As long as they were kind, that would make her happy as...

Solving America’s race-related problems is hard. So hard that nobody really has any clue how to do it. Burning down an auto-parts store isn’t going to help. But forcing people to attend reeducation seminars also seems unlikely to work. Just as we spend more time watching TV than training for marathons, we lapse into doing...

Mayor de Blasio came into office on the first day of 2014 with big dreams and bigger promises. He planned to take on all the major issues of New York City, transforming it from top to bottom. The mayor, limited by law to only two terms, has a little less than 18 months left before...

Woke companies are constantly hectoring America on its failings. The Social Justice Warriors who run Nike, for example, pompously inform us that they are fighting “against discrimination in communities worldwide.” Not only that but they are “work[ing] every day to erase the stain of racism and the damage of injustice.” Really, Nike? Then why do...

Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Evolution (Jason Bourne Book #15) Brian Freeman (fiction, GP Putnam’s Sons) Jason Bourne is back, and he’s ready for some more action. When his lover is killed in a mass shooting, Jason has a hunch that Treadstone — the agency that trained him — is behind the massacre. Jason is on...

There’s good news for fans of “Riverdale,” “The Flash” and “Superman and Lois.” In an exclusive interview with Deadline, Warner Brothers has confirmed that they are tentatively looking at late August to resume filming these shows in Vancouver. Actors would need to arrive two weeks in advance of shooting, during which they would self-isolate as...

Sloppy duds are suddenly très chic.

Congress is getting set to OK another trillion or three in spending sort of related to the pandemic, with not a lot more rhyme or reason than in prior rounds. These are routinely called “stimulus” bills, even though much of the spending is more like “life support” for an economy dramatically slowed by lockdowns and...

The cast's chemistry is believable and heartfelt.

Fordham University is persecuting a student for speech that shouldn’t even be all that controversial. Surely the Jesuits who run the school aren’t afraid of honest debate? At issue are two Instagram posts last month from Austin Tong, age 21: one implicitly criticizing anti-police protests and another showing himself holding a rifle to memorialize the...

United Federation of Teachers chief Mike Mulgrew has apparently decided that his members aren’t essential workers after all: He doesn’t want them going back to work this fall without impossible safety guarantees.

Hearst Magazines installed a temporary replacement for ex-president Troy Young, who was forced out a day earlier following an explosive report that he oversaw a toxic culture at the publishing empire.

Inconsistencies have emerged in the sexual harassment allegations made by a former Fox News guest against prime-time hosts Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, according to a report. Emails show that Cathy Areu, who sued the cable network and the hosts earlier this week, sent two gushing messages thanking Hannity and his staff after an alleged...

If things had proceeded according to schedule, we’d be checking the polls this week to see if Joe Biden had gotten a bounce from his acceptance speech in Milwaukee. That’s because the Democratic National Convention was originally scheduled for July 13-16. It was postponed, due to COVID-19, to Aug. 17-20 and will evidently be transformed...

Gov. Andrew Cuomo just gave his favorite punching-bag another heavy workout, taking Mayor Bill de Blasio sharply to task for the anti-cop graffiti disfiguring public buildings all over Lower Manhattan. Too bad he had nothing much to say about the anti-cop politicians uglying-up New York’s public square. Or the spent-bullet casings littering city streets on...

During the summer of the coronavirus, when all restaurant meals are consumed outside, the new flex is flower-power dining. Making the best of a bad situation, this season’s hot spots are wooing Big Apple foodies with explosions of stems and blossoms. Scarpetta, an Italian mainstay famous for its spaghetti with tomato and basil, launches an...
