Nearly 80% of married college-educated women in the U.S. can expect their marriages to last 20+ years. As divorce rates decline, that number may rise even further. The Institute for Family Studies: ifstudies.org/blog/the-us-di…

Have been meaning for some time now to recommend Daniel Immerwahr's piece reassessing the expert guidance on COVID. "Why were the authorities so resistant to taking the costs of lockdowns seriously? Perhaps because élites were insulated from them." Really worth reckoning with:

I remember when acronym literacy people were saying we don't need to worry about comprehension until readers learn to decode. Now we're talking about holding kids back because they can't answer even the most basic questions about a book. 1/ chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025/0…

New by me —> From now on, I'll tell you every month which 25 local U.S. newspapers are having the most traffic success on the web. Any guesses what (often forgotten) newspaper company owns a shocking 7 of the top 11, beating out far larger peers? niemanlab.org/2025/07/how-di…

Some professional news: After 11 years of columnizing at WaPo, I'm taking the buyout. This is my last column. It is my advice to any other lucky pundits who land a perch like this—11 principles I've aspired to, even if I haven't always achieved them: wapo.st/3TU2fGw

In the NYT, Jessica Grose is right to say boys crisis not a result of too-few female teachers. In my book research, the schools doing best by boys were run by women. But she misses the true cause -- a boosted literacy instruction that boys can't handle. nytimes.com/2025/07/23/opi…
