"Hope you're well"

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned. Thought you'd enjoy this.

Democrats have been doing events in red states and districts for MONTHS. Bernie Sanders' tour has been in West Virginia, Louisiana and Montana. Khanna, Casar, Booker, Murphy, etc. held town halls in districts with GOP representatives. But those don't count because they weren't in the right building?

Something more people should know about measles is that it depletes the memory stores of the immune system, which can put kids at risk of serious complications for years after they've ostensibly recovered from the virus.

Quick question: what the fuck is anyone talking about anymore

Gen X is obviously the worst generation but at least we all had the bootleg cassette of the 1985 Rockpalast show www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm5M...

Generally don't love it when my 8yo plays Minecraft but right now he's using it to design a campaign HQ for Zohran so it's fine

This piece is wonderful—a little sunshine in dark times. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

The kidlit equivalent of expired Lunchables left out in the sun

do they have antidepressants in europe

Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.

A Baptist minister has been arrested in Oxford for holding a placard reading ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action’. Rev Grote of New Road Baptist Church said ‘I am doing this because of my faith. I’m doing this because I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, who broke the rules and created peace.’

NEW: For years, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pushed discredited theories linking vaccines to autism. Now, scientists studying the condition fear he has preconceived notions that will harm the field and taint new funding for research. propub.li/41JYl7o

Can someone explain to me how admitting girls into Scouting America is symptomatic of the "boy crisis of 2025"

One of the most dispiriting things about our current state of affairs is how much of the barbarism is just unaccountable bureaucratic rule following sucking up innocent people into an unfeeling machine and traumatizing them for life www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

People plugging their entire skulls into A.I. makes me think of this old Believer interview with Harold Ramis

We have collectively lost our mind

Just got the latest newsletter from Stone Soup, the journal of creative writing and art by kids ages 6-13, and I didn't even have to "click my heals"

What a lovely piece by @rachelmonroe.bsky.social about King of the Hill, small-town life, and the meaning of the twilight sky above Arlen.

Older kid has been home sick all week bingeing Nathan For You and hands-down the best walk-on characters were the two older women at “Smokers Allowed" who 100% clocked what was up and compared the play to the work of Sam Shepard 😍😍

New Interview: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. The Washington Post has just published every single known name. A seminal moment.

Nearly two decades after my principal said we couldn't do anything about kids' phones, so we had to figure out how to use them in our lessons, and after two decades of schools failing to "teach kids how to use them responsibly," phones are being banned and we're getting the same message about AI.

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

"Children are being given...sugar water, which has no nutritional value, and often their mothers are too malnourished to breastfeed. When an international colleague tried to bring baby formula into Gaza, Israeli authorities confiscated it."

Head of FEMA Urban Search and Rescue branch resigns. He told colleagues that TX delay was tipping point after months of admin efforts to dismantle the agency. DHS Sec Noem took 72 hours after TX flooding to authorize the deployment of FEMA’s search and rescue network www.cnn.com/2025/07/21/p...

I realize that for me everything comes back to Twin Peaks but my god the Epstein saga is Twin Peaks through and through

Big day for guys in my inbox explaining stuff

Haunting, twisty piece by @winterjessica.bsky.social that begins with a discovery in her family’s history and ends with a consideration of the contentious theory that trauma—memories, experience, and behavior can somehow be genetically inherited. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

We've posted the audio version of this story, produced by Apple News and read by me myself, in case you would like some vocal fry with your intergenerational trauma www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

LET'S GO

"I knew that my grandfather had been in an orphanage—didn’t I? Was I learning about this only now, or was I remembering it? How had I not known I knew this?" — @winterjessica.bsky.social for @newyorker.com

This is an extraordinary piece about the "dopamine drip" of meaningful human connection, and how to live with oneself after the unthinkable happens. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

My views on immigration are influenced by how I came to be an American in the first place: a hundred years ago some random ne'er-do-wells got on boats and they let them all in, no questions asked www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

When Jessica Winter found her grandfather, whose life she knew little about, listed as an inmate of an orphanage in Erie, Pennsylvania, her sense of recognition was instant and visceral. Had she somehow inherited the knowledge of his fate?

*very centrist Democrat voice* Democrats need to stop focusing on culture wars and start focusing more on policies that will guarantee more affordability and economic security for everyday Americans, like creating a lax regulatory framework for cryptocurrency.

What's going on with my "boys" and, in some cases, "gals?"

The founder of Stone Soup, a literary magazine written and illustrated by children, is a big fan of A.I. publishing tools, as evident in his newsletter today.
