PSA: If you’re on the fence about going to see the total eclipse in 1.5 weeks, this is your sign to make it happen!

For many Americans, April 8 will bring the closest total eclipse for the next 20+ years. And as we reported for
@washingtonpost.com, it will be extra special!! (🧵)
An image of a globe focused on North America showing upcoming total eclipses over the next 50 year. The upcoming April 8 total eclipse is highlighted in yellow. It crosses the U.S. from Texas to Maine, also going through Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and a few other states. The next total eclipse visible in the U.S. will be in 2044, only visible in Montana and North Dakota. After that, one will happen in 2045, going through California, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and a few other states. In 2052 and 2071, total eclipses will also pass through the U.S.

Americans don't live as long as those in peer countries & that plays out differently based on where you live. If I grew up in Japan rather than Indiana, I would likely gain a decade of life.

See where your state/age/gender stack up (gift link): wapo.st/3LNb4hH
A graphic with different colored concentric circles. The first layer of circles are white and represent your age. The second layer are yellow and represent your average expected years remaining based on life expectancy data. The last layer is pink/purple and represents how many more years someone from Japan would live. There are three text boxes that say, "If you were a 22-year-old woman from Indiana, you could expect to live 59 more years. That's 10 years fewer than a 22-year-old woman from Japan."

Last year, teenagers Brooke & Billy were profiled in a @washingtonpost.com story after they had twins right after an abortion ban. Today, we published a follow-up story about their life with two toddlers.

Design by me.

An abortion ban made them teen parents. This is life two years later.
Brooke and Billy High, first featured in a widely read Washington Post story last year, are caring for their twin daughters in a new city, trying their best to hold it all together.

It's been 100 days since Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully detained in Russia and falsely accused of espionage.

Journalism is not a crime. Free press is crucial to maintaining a free society. Especially on this difficult milestone, our newsroom #StandsWithEvan.
Washington Post employees gather together, holding signs saying "#IStandWithEvan" inside the newsroom. On a monitor in the center of the newsroom photo is an outline of Evan's headshot with #IStandWithEvan in bold text underneath.

this is the best local journalism you'll read all year!

but it also feeds my deep-seated anxiety that miners, frackers, drillers and diggers are down there totally obliterating cool fossils

As the machine drills, it also lays grout and pushes dirt out of the way. This far down, most of the soil is indistinguishable. “You could mine through a dinosaur and it’s all going to come out looking like toothpaste,” said Ryan Payne, an engineer overseeing the project.

Tomorrow top eaters will face off on Coney Island and compete to eat the most hot dogs in 10 minutes.

So what makes an eating champion? A stretchy stomach, hardcore training or crazy willpower? I investigated this pressing mystery for @washingtonpost.com.
