Really fascinating to watch artistic institutions try to thread this needle... An important piece by @kelseyables.bsky.social: www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Oh look, it's new fiction from @stephenking.bsky.social in The Atlantic: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Smart, from Vivian Salama and @jonlemire.bsky.social, about the president's big China trip: www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Brilliant and essential. Everyone should read @helenlewis.bsky.social's new cover story, out today: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

This essay is extraordinary. By a 93-year-old who remembers what life was like before modern vaccines.

Excellent reporting from @sfifz787.bsky.social. A must-read: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

From The Atlantic's editor in chief @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social: "We will not be intimidated by illegitimate investigations ... we will continue to cover the FBI professionally, fairly, and thoroughly; and we will continue to practice journalism in the public interest."

I love journalists.

Scammers are going to have a field day... www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

The "reactionary colorblindess" of the right-wing justices has reached its logical conclusion in finding that it is racist NOT to let Louisiana—and any other state for that matter—discriminate on the basis of race in voting. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I wrote for The Atlantic about political violence and the rise of what I’m calling Blood Populism. Americans need to look beyond reflexive partisanship to understand the scope and scale of this problem.

This really is amazing: www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...

This is completely fascinating. An important story from @matteowong.bsky.social and @lilashroff.bsky.social about all of the Defense Production Act chatter in Washington—and how Silicon Valley is lawyering up: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

"They could not look or sound more unoppressed if they tried." @gcaw.bsky.social's latest: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Atlantic’s Sarah Fitzpatrick speaks with Hanna Rosin about her reporting on FBI Director Kash Patel: “The thing that stood out the most to me was the incredibly high levels of alarm that I would describe as bordering on panic for these sources.” theatln.tc/FglK4ZMd

📻 NEW from Radio Atlantic 📻 A conversation between @sfifz787.bsky.social and @hannarosin.bsky.social about Sarah's extraordinary reporting on Kash Patel—plus @qjurecic.bsky.social on the SPLC lawsuit: www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

Well when you put it that way, yikes... @jonathanbchait.bsky.social on the desperation of a president who can't stop posting: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is worth reading. @engber.bsky.social on the birth of a new conspiracy theory: www.theatlantic.com/science/2026...

This essay is really worth reading. Noah Hawley is a great writer: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Happy Patriot’s Day Eve! A perfect time to read Paul Revere’s ride, which first appeared in The Atlantic in 1861: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

This is a big one. Stellar reporting from Sarah Fitzpatrick. To call it a must-read is an understatement: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The Atlantic’s newest cover story, by the peerless @caity.bsky.social, is unlike anything else. Just read it: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

"Seldom have American leaders intervened so overtly in a foreign election, and seldom has their preferred candidate fared so badly." www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

To understand what just happened in Hungary (Orbán actually lost, and conceded as much), I highly recommend @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social's latest: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Would that we all had “astronauts’ courage and their ancient-explorer’s hearts” Here’s to the best of us: www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

I love astronauts.

If you haven't read this astonishing Atlantic story by @sarahzhang.bsky.social, you must—about the science of consciousness and our understanding of what (if anything) people in vegetative states can perceive. By a writer at the height of her powers: theatlantic.com/magazine/arc... (From 2025)

If Trump does give an order to attack civilian targets that have no military value as a means of collectively punishing the Iranian people - and make good his threat to begin a genocide - Marco Rubio should resign and the military must refuse the order. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

White House: “Only President Trump knows what he will do, and the entire world will find out..." @dgraham.bsky.social: "This view is legally, morally, and practically disastrous." www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

A stirring argument from @RadioFreeTom—that final paragraph, whew. Really worth reading. Here's a gift link for anyone who doesn't subscriber to The Atlantic yet: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This is so beautiful. Only a person of @ashleyrparker.bsky.social's sparkling charm and fierce intelligence could write a tribute so layered; loving, honest, and funny. What a gift to the rest of us to get to see Bruce Jay Parker through her eyes: www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/...

What does it mean to be "in" the Epstein files? @tyrangiel.bsky.social sifted through 3.5 million pages to answer that question. Here's his taxonomy of grossness: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

There is a crazy NeeDoh shortage going on and if you have no idea what that means @olgakhazan.bsky.social can explain: www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/...

“Even in less dangerous times, the public would still have a right to answers about such an unprecedented purge of the senior U.S. military ranks.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social’s latest: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

NEW from @theatlantic.com: "Several people familiar with the White House’s plans told us there are active discussions about others leaving the administration, including Kash Patel, Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

"Bondi was not uniquely skilled at destruction, just a willing cog in Trump’s machine. Eventually, the machine ground her up, too." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This is smart: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Going to the moon is objectively awesome. Even when you don't land on it. I love this @rossandersen.bsky.social dispatch from the Artemis II launch: www.theatlantic.com/science/2026...

I will read everything Cullen Murphy writes, obviously, and this one is particularly lovely. Not to be missed: www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

This essay by the brilliant Laura Secor is really, really worth reading: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

It’s okay for hard things to be hard. On the subject of AI and writing, I like how George Saunders puts it.

Every self-respecting comedy nerd needs to read @geoffrbennett.bsky.social’s wonderful essay on “In Living Color.” So many great stories from that era. And in many ways an ode to Keenan Ivory Wayans: www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

“As with all decisions involving this president, the move was subject to being reversed until publicly announced.” This situation is absurd. Great reporting from @jonfischer.bsky.social and @ashleyrparker.bsky.social: www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Driving by the Kennedy Center this morning and LOOK WHO I SAW

Everything Lily Meyer writes is so smart—this made me want to read Andrew Martin's new book. www.theatlantic.com/books/2026/0...
