It was also the era of America’s Next Top Model (ANTM), the savage (but highly addictive) reality show that ran from 2003 to 2018. For 24 seasons (or “cycles”), aspiring fashionistas were put through a range of brutal challenges to prove they were model material, including posing with tarantulas and walking down a catwalk blindfolded. But it’s not just the traumatic trials or the wild wardrobe that people remember about ANTM, but the vicious burns dished out by judges including Tyra Banks, Janice Dickinson and Paulina Porizkova....

Whatever the answer, it’s safe to say that American troops are certainly not fighting for the right of American institutions to engage in censorship and repression.

The Pew Research Center published the results of a new survey on Thursday showing that the majority of Americans now consider China either an enemy or a competitor, and that they expect the new president to put democracy and human rights above any potential economic benefit of cooperation with Beijing.

The Pew Research Center on Tuesday released the results of a new survey regarding religion in America. According to the findings, “nones,” which refers to Americans who do not identify as having any religious affiliations, now make up around 29 percent of U.S. adults–an uptick from 23 percent in 2016 and 19 percent in 2011–indicating that some Americans are beginning to lose interest in their faiths.
