Poetry predates apps, “and its capacity to immerse the reader in the moment still promises a greater payoff than any smartwatch,” Walt Hunter argues. In Time-Travel Thursdays, he examines how the poet Linda Gregg cultivated self-awareness in readers.

In its first 100 days, the Trump Administration has relied heavily on ambiguity, misdirection, and plausible deniability to accomplish its aims. It’s a model that has parallels to other countries that have slid into autocracy, Andrew Marantz writes.

Kanye Gave Twitter an Exclusive Hit Single
Spotify and YouTube barred the song, which salutes Hitler, from their platforms. It found its audience, anyway.
