    Athletes like snowboarder Shaun White don’t just excel in their sport; they define it. With three Olympic gold medals and 23 X Games podium finishes, the 37-year-old’s name, like Jordan, Brady, and Harper, is bigger than the superpipes he rides. Following his swan song at the 2022 Tokyo Games (in which he finished fourth), White officially joined the ranks of retired greats. When we sat down with him in Park City, Utah, at the High West distillery’s tasting room, we found that he hadn't stopped...

    Ronald Acuña Jr. Thinks He's Got a 50-50 Season in Him

    Roughly 40 stories above the Manhattan hotel ballroom where he will be honored for his 2023 N.L. MVP season, Ronald Acuña Jr. is bopping and bouncing around his suite like he just blasted a home run. But what has the newest member of baseball’s elite 40-40 club amped on a January evening isn’t necessarily the trophy or adulation he’ll soon receive at the Baseball Writers’ Association of America’s annual awards dinner.

    The star of Dune: Part Two isn't Timothée Chalamet going full-tilt action star, or Zendaya’s turn as a fiery freedom fighter, or even a bald Austin Butler doing his best Dr. Evil voice.

    I Took Bass Lessons From a Punk Legend For a Year. I Learned About More Than Just the Bass

    About a year ago, I was scrolling Instagram, when a hand-drawn, black-and-white post caught my eye. It looked like a flier you’d see stapled to a telephone pole, advertising a local punk show. The flier said: “Bass Lessons w/ Joe Lally of Fugazi, Messthetics, Coriky. Classes Available.” As a fan of post-hardcore punk, this was like stumbling on a post that said, “Home run lessons with Ken Griffey, Jr.” or “Moon landing lessons with Buzz Aldrin.” Lally’s heavy grooves propelled Fugazi and...

    Cardiologists Tell Us What You Really Need to Know About Intermittent Fasting and Heart Health

    New research on intermittent fasting made splashy headlines last week.
