This may be why decorous members of Congress refused to engage directly with the video. It bordered uncomfortably on some of our culture’s most disturbing, albeit ubiquitous, images; depictions of victimized or brutalized women that abound in slasher films, murder mysteries, the openings of countless TV police dramas and of course violent pornography, including cartoon…
Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Back in the pre-Instagram days of 2009, the street-style photographer Tommy Ton snapped a photo of Virgil Abloh, Kanye West, and a group of their friends outside Paris Fashion Week.

GLASGOW — Inver restaurant is but a speck on the longest sea loch in Scotland. From its windows, a diner can see the remnants of a 15th-century castle and the rolling hills of the Highlands, but the breakout star is not the view. It’s a meaty halibut head that the chef Pam Brunton grills over…

Were some cancer cells just resistant? An unexpected answer to this mystery has been found using a new technique that researchers call bar coding: The treatment does not…
On certain occasions, context is theoretical. “Sometimes a great Beaujolais is a better choice than La Tâche,” a friend once said to me years ago, referring to the grand cru Burgundy from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, one of the rarest, most expensive and highly prized wines in the world.

Good morning. Well, that’s done then: Thanksgiving sorted, Hanukkah started and holiday cookie season (above) on its way. I hope you’ll take some time for yourself this week, to cook the food you want to make. For myself, that’s Eric Kim’s recipe for kimchi jjigae with ribs, and the cheese enchiladas with chili gravy I…
Finding something special for your friends and family is always a priority during the holidays, but this year it feels even more important. Coming together and celebrating for the first time in far too long, it’s the perfect time to take gifting to the next level. From futuristic hydrofoils for flying over the open water…
No solo estaba horrorizada por la falta de una respuesta unificada al coronavirus, sino que, en un viaje a Alaska, visitó playas que, cuando era niña, recordaba repletas de estrellas de mar, nutrias y mejillones gordos y salados, pero que ahora parecían desprovistas de vida salvaje. Era demasiado. Aplazó sus planes de fecundación in vitro,…
Experts have long known that animal products like beef, lamb, pork and veal have a disproportionately negative impact on the environment. Raising animals requires more water and land and generates more greenhouse gases than growing protein-rich plants does. “This is a win-win for individuals and our environment,” Dr. Lichtenstein said. However, she cautioned, if a…
TOKYO — With the emergence of the new Omicron variant of the coronavirus late last week, countries across the globe rushed to close their borders to travelers from southern Africa, even in the absence of scientific information about whether such measures were necessary or likely to be effective in stopping the virus’s spread. Japan has…
