No, a smartphone won’t turn your child into a zombie

If you weren’t astutely aware already: Kids live in the same tech-dominated, phone-addled world that the rest of us do. Babies as young as 6 months old spend over an hour a day in front of screens. The average tween gets their first phone before they turn 12. Recently, the US Surgeon General went so […] Read more ›

What Biden’s news conference did, and didn’t, clear up

With the future of his reelection campaign in doubt, President Joe Biden made a move on Thursday that was very unusual for him: He answered a lot of questions from reporters in a press conference.  The press conference, at the close of this week’s NATO summit in Washington, went fine for Biden. He took questions […] Read more ›

The controversy over Biden and Parkinson’s disease, explained

The murmurs about President Joe Biden’s health — and particularly commentary about whether he’s exhibiting signs of Parkinson’s disease — have reached a fever pitch.  On Monday, the New York Times reported that a Parkinson’s specialist visited the White House eight times between July 2023 and March 2024, raising questions about whether the president was […] Read more ›

Why I quit Spotify

It was probably the ninth time Sabrina Carpenter’s hit single “Please, Please, Please” played, unprompted, that I decided it was time to quit Spotify. I’d been a Premium subscriber since the company started offering it in the United States in 2011 and I’ve generally been a Spotify fanatic who obsessively cultivates his collection of playlists.

Heat is deadly. Why does our culture push us to ignore it?

A 4-month-old died in Arizona as temperatures climbed into triple digits. A 2-year-old died in a hot car, also in Arizona. At least four people have died from heat-related illnesses in Oregon. One motorcyclist died and others were sickened riding through Death Valley as temperatures reached a record 128 degrees Fahrenheit.  These are some examples […] Read more ›

What American cities could do right now to save us from this unbearable heat

On a hot summer day in New York City, I have a singular need: shade.  This is one reason I appreciate trees, especially the big leafy ones. But there are in fact many others: Trees suck up carbon dioxide and other pollutants, helping clean the air and offset planet-warming emissions. They not only block the […] Read more ›

Why are so many female pop stars flopping? 

Female pop stars have been throwing new personas at the wall: Eight years after her iconic CMAs performance, Beyoncé made a hard, star-spangled turn to country. Ariana Grande traded in her usual R&B bangers for an Imogen Heap-inspired album. Dua Lipa left the dance floor for some chill, vacation bops. And Camila Cabello is determined […] Read more ›

How do you know it’s time to retire?

The American workforce is aging. According to data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median age of the American labor force was nearly 42 years old in 2022, up from 40 years old in 2002. Nineteen percent of adults ages 65 and older are currently employed, compared to 11 percent in 1987. Further, […] Read more ›

Iran’s new president can only change the country so much

Masoud Pezeshkian, the reformist president-elect of Iran, clocked a narrow win over a hard-line candidate in the Islamic Republic’s election Sunday. But given the long-term priorities of the clerics who are the ultimate source of power in Iran, Pezeshkian will only be able to make limited changes, in certain areas — and any reforms he does […] Read more ›

Are we actually in the middle of a generosity crisis?

Did you donate to charity in the past, but no longer do so?  If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. For the second year in a row, the philanthropy research foundation Giving USA reported that fewer Americans are donating to nonprofits than they used to, and the total amount of giving is declining once […] Read more ›

What the world can learn from Indian liberalism

Liberalism, it’s often said, is in crisis. Virtually everyone across the political spectrum agrees on that to some degree. But nobody agrees on what the nature of that crisis is — or, sometimes, even on the basic question of what liberalism is. With such basic disagreements standing in the way, conversations about liberalism often feel […] Read more ›

TikTok Shop is annoying on purpose

If you’ve opened TikTok recently, you’ve probably seen an ad for a product sold in the new, in-app TikTok Shop, which made its official US launch last September. In fact, you’ve probably seen the same TikTok Shop ad multiple times. With a sigh, you swipe away, but a few swipes later, there it is again. […] Read more ›

The glorious return of the skort

Once upon a time, when you complimented someone’s skirt or dress, there was a solid chance she’d reply with, “Thanks, it has pockets!” These days, you’re more likely to be met with a different response, or rather a correction: “Thanks, it’s actually a skort.”  The skort, long relegated to the tennis court or the little […] Read more ›

What made Kamala Harris a failed candidate in 2020?

The last time Kamala Harris ran a campaign for the presidency, she dropped out of the contest before a single vote was cast. After launching her bid in Oakland, California, in front of a crowd of 20,000 supporters in January 2019, she campaigned for 310 days before dropping out of the contest. At the time […] Read more ›

On Sunday, the daughter of the late Nobel Prize-winning Canadian author Alice Munro revealed a dark secret that sent the literary world reeling. It serves as a reminder about the shocking layers of complicity that develop when families protect abusers.  As recounted in an essay in the Toronto Star and an accompanying reported article, in […] Read more ›

Can Paris fix its poop problem before the Olympics?

A key promise in Paris’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics was that its famous river, the Seine, would be cleaned up in time to host open water swimming events: the triathlon, paratriathlon, and marathon swimming. But swimming has been banned in the Seine for a century because the Paris sewer system is designed […] Read more ›

America’s obsession with hot dogs, explained

“I don’t think we have enough hot dogs,” Julianne Moore’s character whispers gloomily in Todd Haynes’ 2023 film May December. The scene that quickly became iconic online for how amusingly melodramatic it is also captures, perhaps inadvertently, America’s strange relationship with the oblong food. Is there such a thing as having enough hot dogs? As […] Read more ›

We deserve a more nuanced conversation about working moms

This spring, a European study came out with the provocative conclusion that having children contributes “little to nothing” to the persistent gap in earnings between men and women. The study caught my attention because I know the threat of earning less as a parent has had a chilling effect on people in my generation considering […] Read more ›
