Exposure to pollen can raise your risk of developing COVID-19, and it isn’t just a problem for people with allergies, new research released March 9 shows.

We learned a lot about what happens behind the closed doors of Buckingham Palace from Oprah Winfrey’s interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but maybe the most astonishing revelation was that Meghan Markle felt like she “just didn’t want to be alive anymore” during her former life as a royal. The over the top racism and sexism she experienced, both within the Royal Family and from British tabloids, had eroded her mental health so severely that she didn’t want to be left alone out of fear that she might self harm.

Face masks, inflatable pools, patio heaters: these are all things we never thought we’d have to buy in 2020 and yet, our shopping carts were full of them. Because 2020 was unlike any shopping year ever, we asked our fellow employees what their favorite pandemic purchases have been. The answers ranged from slippers (the new work shoe) to kitchen appliances, to workout gear, and so much more. Here are The Daily Beast Staffers' most precious pandemic purchases. Читать дальше...

He’s an international man of mystery—a reclusive billionaire who once bought a lower Manhattan skyscraper in cash. He’s cut multimillion-dollar business deals with now-sanctioned figures in Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin’s circle. And, thanks in part to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his administration, he was left in charge of the health and well-being of thousands of poor and elderly New Yorkers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Like many others in the United States and around the world, we were filled with hope about the incoming Biden administration. The restoration of America’s influence as a leader for democracy, human rights, and justice was long overdue. We have seen firsthand what happens in authoritarian-leaning countries around the world when the U.S. isn’t passionately defending, supporting, and protecting democracy. From the far-right revolution in Poland, to the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny... Читать дальше...

Love, like, or hate him, Senator Joe Manchin is right about one thing: If Republicans are going to filibuster, they should have to really filibuster.

The walls are closing in on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, despite his desperate attempts to spin things in his favor. Reports that his aides altered a state health department report to hide the number of COVID-19 deaths in New York nursing homes (after he ordered nursing homes to accept COVID-19 patients) intensified calls for his resignation last week. State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins says that “for the good of the state” he should consider resigning. And... Читать дальше...

Sunday night’s primetime interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was one for the ages. Oprah Winfrey didn’t disappoint in her fierce interviewing of the royal couple on CBS. For two hours, 17.1 million viewers got a front-row seat at the rollercoaster marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as their fairytale wedding turned into a hierarchical racist nightmare.

The Long Island serial killer case has now confounded the Suffolk County Police Department for more than a decade, and it’s disappointing—if not altogether surprising—that Unraveled: The Long Island Serial Killer doesn’t definitively answer who committed the slayings in the ritzy gated community of Oak Park, Long Island. Nonetheless, as a documentary companion piece to Billy Jensen (I’ll Be Gone in the Dark) and Alexis Linkletter’s seven-part true crime podcast of the same name... Читать дальше...

On the night of Sunday, Feb. 21, the press received an emailed statement from Woody Allen and Soon-Yi denouncing the HBO docuseries Allen v. Farrow.

CBS

On Monday, the late-night hosts (sans Trevor Noah, who is sadly off this week) all addressed the news that captivated 17 million Americans: Oprah Winfrey’s prime-time interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who exited the British royal family over what the two characterized as a campaign of gaslighting, neglect, and racist treatment. Jimmy Kimmel mocked the royal family’s “inbreeding” past, while Stephen Colbert began his riff on a slightly more playful note.

ABC

Like at least a decent number of the more than 17 million Americans who tuned in to watch Oprah Winfrey’s dramatic sit-down with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Sunday night, Jimmy Kimmel initially had “no interest” in watching the special. “Then my wife put it on and I was like, ‘Wait, rewind that! What did he say? Prince Charles is an animal!’”

Fox News

Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity ridiculed and laughed at CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter for wearing shorts during a television hit, claiming that the sight of Stelter’s “fully exposed” thighs left them “traumatized.”

Oprah’s interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry aired on CBS last night and to say that viewers’ jaws dropped multiple times during the two-hour special would be a massive understatement. Meghan admitted to Oprah that she was suicidal during her time as a senior member of the Royal Family and claims that when she went to what she calls, “the Firm,” to get help, they did nothing. She and Harry also revealed the racism “the Institution” subjected Meghan to... Читать дальше...

Most are likely unfamiliar with the accusation that helped kick off the investigation into Woody Allen’s alleged child sexual abuse of his 7-year-old adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow. It came from Allison Stickland, the nanny to Farrow family friend Casey Pascal, who was at Woody Allen and Mia Farrow’s Connecticut country home on Aug. 4, 1992.
