After a contentious few weeks leading up to the World Cup, Nuevo León Governor Samuel García says he is already in “party mode,” declaring that he will be too busy having fun to answer his phone. Speaking in Monterrey — the state capital and a World Cup host city — García joked that his secretary, Evencio Hernández, will be handling all matters pertaining to the governor’s office. “If there’s anything to discuss, talk to Evencio. I’ll be at the party,” he said, adding that the five-and-a-half-week-long tournament is “not a time for working.” Opposition politicians in the state criticized García’s…
Jimmy Kimmel predicted it: Donald Trump fell asleep during game three of the NBA Finals as the New York Knicks took on the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden.

How about them Knicks? (I’m writing this after Game 3, so do not respond to this email accusing me of jinxing.) What with the basketball buzz, I almost forgot that soccer’s also in season with the World Cup group stage starting this week. In celebration, the Guggenheim will be screening artists Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno’s masterpiece about French soccer legend Zinédine Zidane starting Thursday. And the Tribeca Film Festival’s this week, too? Seems like when the art world starts to get a little sleepy, the rest of the city comes out to play. It’s also Pride Month! We kick off…

A major international retailer is preparing for a significant overhaul of its store network after warning that dozens of locations will close and hundreds more are under review.

The actress donned an apron, while the former basketball player rocked a blue sweatsuit. The exes were all smiles as they posed alongside two of Longoria’s colleagues. Longoria and Parker tied the knot in 2007. The couple called it quits three years later after rumors swirled that…
In the last few years, RealYungPhil’s raps have taken on the effect of that friend who always has a life-affirming conversation with you on the porch outside of a house party. I’m talking the kind of heart-to-heart where you only hear faded murmurs of the music coming from inside whenever the door swings open, and when you go back into the crib, somehow so much time has passed that nearly everyone is gone. This casual pensiveness has been part of Phil’s deadpan punchline rap since at least the early 2020s, when I only knew him as the Connecticut-raised graduate of…
