Pretty spot on for us “While in years past the midlife crisis might have been fueled by a dawning reaction to one’s own mortality, for new 40-somethings, it’s more like a progress report.” www.vox.com/culture/4150...

How millennials are freaking out about being halfway to death, when everyone’s broke and already in therapy. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/7nHCuS

In my recent @vox.com piece I speculated that the more hands-off US approach (while weapons supplies and most intel sharing seem to be continuing), might give Ukraine some more latitude for the kind of strikes that made the Biden WH nervous about escalation. www.vox.com/world-politi...

I did a blog about the eyelash thing www.vox.com/culture/4152...

If the boomer midlife crisis was realizing they didn't want their parents' life*, the millennial midlife crisis is realizing we can't have our parents' life no matter what we want. www.vox.com/culture/4150... *(see also: the elder millennial pre-quarter life Varsity Blues crisis)

Under Trump administration, NOAA and FEMA are not well staffed and face steep budget cuts. Hundreds of government employees across these agencies have been fired or left, including those involved in hurricane forecasting. @benjij.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4148...

Do Apple Watches, Oura rings, and glucose monitors actually make us healthier? voxdotcom.visitlink.me/Kny2kP

Trump wants to blow a $3 trillion hole in the budget. The bond market is saying “no way.” voxdotcom.visitlink.me/kz01CY

Our economy isn’t built for the biological clock. But it can be. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/WDwZD2

The autism commission is doomed to fail. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/7E_tCc

I've been using Google's new AI Mode and I like it and it terrifies me www.vox.com/technology/4...

The Trump administration is targeting a wildlife science program that’s crucial for public health — even though it costs less than 1% of the Interior budget. @benjij.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/environment/...

The sweeping federal court order striking down Trump’s tariffs, explained www.vox.com/donald-trump...

If this decision stands on appeal, it’s a big loss for Trump that will make it difficult for his trade war to continue. www.vox.com/donald-trump...

The left’s attachment to thinking of politics in “material” terms is causing it to misread the moment. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/GN0z8e

The socialist left's insistence on seeing the world in materialist terms makes it ill-equipped to understand the real roots of Trump and similar far-right figures www.vox.com/politics/414...

a few months ago, a young reader wrote to me about wanting to date but finding it hard to trust others. that general distrust is so pervasive in society today. i dug into the science of how we decide who to trust, what destroys it, and how to be a little more trusting www.vox.com/even-better/...

The new pope is so focused on AI that he actually chose the name Leo XIV *because of AI* Is it weird for the Catholic Church to be making this a priority? Not at all! I argue it makes perfect sense — other religions should do the same www.vox.com/future-perfe...

China is the world’s largest single greenhouse gas emitter. But now, for the first time, there’s been a shift: The country’s greenhouse gas emissions have actually fallen even as energy demand went up. Learn more: voxdotcom.visitlink.me/9HROrY

In his latest move, Trump is attacking the people who have helped bail out American higher education. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/GVlo8U

There are two Gen Zs. And that divide within the generation certainly complicates the long-held belief that younger voters are generally more progressive than older ones — and that Democrats thus have a natural edge with younger generations. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/bZe523

Why the Senate’s repeal of California’s gas car ban is such a big deal. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/6yll2U

The Republican justices draw a line in the sand – in an order that makes absolutely no sense. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/xJZSB5

The GOP says states’ rights matter — until it’s California. The Senate’s repeal of California’s gas car ban isn’t just about emissions. It sets a dangerous precedent for environmental policy anywhere. From @vox.com via @grist.org: www.vox.com/climate/4142...

During a brutal ocean heat wave, clownfish actually shrank to survive. It’s a surprising adaptation that shows how some creatures are finding ways to cope even as warming oceans are becoming inhospitable for many species. @benjij.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

One of the GOP justices must have defected in a case about religious schools, but the Court didn’t reveal who it was. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/NATP6c

In a time of uncertainty in the US and around the world, one of the most reliable sources of joy is hearing from kids about what they want their future to look like. What hopes and dreams do the kids in your lives have for themselves and for the world? Let us know here: forms.gle/4qQ8r5CL1BVH...

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg share a favorite author: Iain M. Banks, the Scottish science fiction writer best known for his Culture series. Banks is an odd choice for a bunch of tech billionaires. The author was a socialist and avowed hater of the super-rich.

A conservation program in the US-Mexico Borderlands is mobilizing an unlikely advocate to help save the endangered jaguar—the rancher. @benjij.bsky.social's latest feature details an amazing shift: humans and apex predators more peacefully coexisting. www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

Bad news: Most of the big forest nations that promised to end deforestation by 2030 are experiencing more forest loss today than they did when they made the pledge. @benjij.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4137...

Normally, cities navigating a lead poisoning crisis (impacting dozens of schools and thousands of children) could depend on the CDC for federal support. Not anymore. @dylanlscott.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/public-healt...

"No tax on tips" looks less like a pro-worker tax credit and more like a big business tax cut. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/4OVTMJ

President Trump's second term has so far been dominated by his aggressive use of executive power — but now, he’s finally trying to get something through Congress. He’s promising tax cuts and a “new golden age.” Here's what's really inside his big, beautiful bill.
