He’s sober and a judge — of America’s top party schools. Marco Graci, 20, of Valhalla, NY, is hitting frat parties, attending tailgates, doing bar crawls, and crashing on strangers’ couches at 40 campuses across the country in a Herculean effort to rate the nation’s No. 1 party school. He judges them on a scale of 1 to 10, “kind of how Portnoy does the pizza,” and posts videos of his wild weekends on TikTok and Instagram. “I’m using the crowd size at the frat parties, bars and tailgates, the energy and music at the parties, the level of school…

On Sunday, Berliners will vote to elect a new state parliament, the Abgeordnetenhaus, alongside the regional vote in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The race is wide open: the Left party and the CDU are neck and neck in the latest polls, both at around 20-23%, with the AfD at 18% and the Greens at 16% close behind. The SPD, with 10-12%, is now clearly below its 2023 result. That means it is also unclear what the political landscape will look like after the vote. According to recent surveys, the current black-red coalition of the CDU and SPD would no longer have a…

Ryan Murphy‘s Netflix series Monster has been called into question in the past for inaccuracies about its subjects — but what did the show get wrong about Lizzie Borden‘s case? The first season, which debuted in 2022, featured Evan Peters as serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Monster, which also starred Niecy Nash, came under fire after the families of Dahmer’s victims revealed they weren’t consulted for the show. Season 2 faced similar backlash from convicted killers Erik and Lyle Menendez, who specifically called out the incest insinuations. Murphy, for his part, stood by his vision for the episodes and pointed out…
