Between Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent false claims that autism “destroys families” and the reports of a since-abandoned plan for a an autism registry tracking diagnosed individuals, getting tested for the condition may feel like an especially fraught decision right now.

Taylor Swift might have sung, “I swear I don’t love the drama, it loves me,” on her 2017 album Reputation, but the fanfare leading up to its loooong-awaited rerelease seems to indicate otherwise.

Despite accusations against artist Kehinde Wiley this year, his The Death of Hyacinth (Ndey Buri Mboup), 2022, was for sale at the Templon Gallery booth at Art Basel Miami Beach.

Miami-Dade County, after all, just went red for the first time in 36 years.

Speaking of processing, we’re still reeling from the devastating end of the sixth episode of this season, where, in classic Grey’s Anatomy fashion, we were left wondering if Mika and her sister Chloe survived a car crash.
