This entire story is beyond adorable, but the ring-bearer pig being lured by popcorn has got to be my favorite detail: nytimes.com/2023/04/14/sty…

I wish we could collectively pick a day of week to send each other emails, and then the rest of the time we just don't...

The man who killed Jordan Neely wasn’t protecting himself. He was empowered by a cultural movement that has normalized regular citizens deputizing themselves as judges and executioners in the name of white supremacy. Infamously this also happened in another period of US history

Serge lost his father to Auschwitz and Beate’s father voted for Hitler, but they met on a Paris subway platform and fell in love just the same. They traveled the world hunting Nazis. This is the story of their courageous fight for the truth. New work! everand.com/audiobook/7113…

France is fiercely protective of its landmarks, food, and other forms of cultural heritage. Now the French government is hoping citizens can think of wildlife as “patrimoine,” too, Jess McHugh writes: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

Asking someone's age is a pretty standard question to ask someone when interviewing them for an article, but I kind of love how many people respond HOW OLD ARE YOU?!
