Raving Among the Bones

Image
The history of “free parties” can be traced back to illegal acid house raves in the UK in the late 1980s. The basic format—massive speakers outside with people dancing—was inherited from Caribbean sound system culture, but the illegality and lawlessness had a specific British flavor, a reaction to the conservative mainstream and a moribund nightclub scene. The movement was soon adopted in Europe, leading eventually to large annual gatherings like Frenchtek and Czechtek. Despite decades of suppression by the authorities, enterprising ravers are still finding ways to party. In Paris , that has long included navigating the catacombs below the city to party away from the prying eyes of les gendarmes. Noé, a photographer based in Paris, got in touch to share some of his favorite pictures. VICE: How did you start going to these parties? Noé Christin-Davy: I started going to free parties because I was hanging around with people who ran a trap and rap sound system called G...

Morning Breath Might Actually Improve Your Sex Life, Experts Say

Morning sex has always had its fans. The part that’s supposed to be the turnoff might be the very reason. A recent episode of the podcast Subway Takes sparked the conversation after TikToker Jay Guapeo made his case for morning sex over nighttime sex. His reasoning has made people’s ears perk up. “It’s something about, like, the morning breath with the bonnet combo,” Jay said. “Like, it just never fails, and you don’t gotta do too much.” Host Kareem Rahma agreed, citing pure laziness as his motivation. Reddit piled on with its own testimonials, including one user who said: “The rough edges make up part of the heightened excitement.” Turns out there’s actual psychology behind this. Susie Masterson , a BACP-registered psychotherapist and relationship coach, says our associations with smell, touch, and physical proximity all feed into arousal and emotional connection in ways most people underestimate. Morning breath doe...

Daily Horoscope: June 22, 2026

Monday comes in with a strange mix of big feelings and very little patience for pretending. Jupiter conjunct Mercury makes conversations swell past their original size, while Neptune, squaring the Sun, can make certainty feel suspiciously flimsy. Somewhere in the middle of all that, stargazer, Pluto, opposing Venus, asks what our relationships, money, and self-respect are trying to tell us when the act drops. The Moon in Libra wants balance, but its opposition to Saturn by evening makes it harder to keep everyone comfortable at once. Today is not here to wreck anyone’s life. It’s here to point at what we already felt getting harder to ignore. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 You’ve had enough time with Mars in Taurus to know the deal by now: everything takes longer, everyone moves more slowly, and your patience has apparently been enrolled in boot camp without your consent...

Scientists Finally Figured Out Why Weed Gives You the Munchies

We’ve been joking about it for decades, but there is actual scientific grounding for the munchies , the seemingly bottomless pit of hunger that can open up after getting stoned. According to researchers at the University of Calgary , the phenomenon isn’t just stoner comedy fodder. It’s a real biological response, and the research team used rats to prove it. In a new study conducted in conjunction with researchers at Washington State University, neuroscientist Dr. Matthew Hill and his team exposed rats to cannabis vapor, and for about an hour after getting high, the rats ate like college kids on 4/20. The weed so sparked their appetites that they ate even after a full meal. The rats that weren’t exposed to weed vapor ignored all the extra food. But the high rats ate like they hadn’t eaten in days. The Munchies Are Real, and Scientists Just Learned More About Why  With that observation noted, the researchers then fully expected the rats to gravitate toward t...

Weekly Horoscope: June 21-June 27

Image
Cancer season opens Sunday, stargazer, and the shift is immediate — from Gemini’s fast-moving mental energy into something slower, more feeling-forward, and harder to rationalize your way out of. The Sun entering Cancer puts emotional honesty at the center of the week, not as a suggestion but as the actual operating system. If there’s a conversation you’ve been circling for a while, Jupiter conjuncting Mercury by Saturday hands you the opening to finally have it. Don’t waste it. Midweek is where things get more complicated. Thursday brings a harder-to-trust-your-own-read quality that makes it a poor time to force a conclusion you haven’t fully arrived at yet — sit with the uncertainty a little longer than feels comfortable. The back half of the week is where the patience pays off. Friday steadies the relational landscape considerably, and Saturday opens communication back up in a way that makes the whole week make sense. How will your sign fare thi...
