The title and blurb make this seem like it is very different from the article it actually is. It's worth clicking through to actually read the article.
We’ve come to accept that there’s a crisis among young men. But “you can just as easily argue on the behalf of a woman crisis as a man crisis—or, perhaps most accurately, for an ongoing multidirectional crisis affecting us all,” Jessica Winter writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/LgnYm_
What Did Men Do to Deserve This?
Changes in the economy and in the culture seem to have hit them hard. Scott Galloway believes they need an “aspirational vision of masculinity.”

Nancy Pelosi could hold together a caucus. Schumer can’t. Time for a new leader.

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

I will never not think of these two photos when I hear the name Pelosi, also when she maintained decorum during the SOTU and then very publicly ripped up T's speech afterwards.

This news has been under-reported in all of that good news for the Dems from last night. Mississippi Dems flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat and broke the Republican Senate supermajority (after 6 years, not 13). Johnny DuPree, who was mayor when I lived in Hattiesburg is one of those Senators.
After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the Republican Party’s supermajority in the Mississippi Senate.
Democrats flipped two GOP-held Senate seats and one House seat in the special elections.

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇
When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

It's been such an honor and so much fun to serve as emcee for LMU's Global Conversations this fall! Three fascinating conversations and Finding Your Roots episodes: John Legend, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Joe Manganiello, each in conversation with FYR creator Professor Henry Louis Gates.

I love this photo. It shows, like his videos, how much Zohran Mamdani loves NYC & New Yorkers in all their diversity. Cuomo doesn't; he seeks power for its own sake, & his vile racist fearmongering reveals contempt for that diversity. 📷 Brandon Stanton, Humans of New York (from FB), dearnewyork.com.

There are some great buildings here. Griffith Observatory (1935) and Union Station (1939) are two of my favorite places in L.A. www.latimes.com/travel/list/...
These 10 buildings tell the story of L.A.'s monumental 1930s, year by year
Amid the stress of economic collapse, the city built some of its greatest architectural gems: the jaw-dropping Pantages Theatre, the hilltop Griffith Observatory, the grand Union Station and more.

I'm such a sucker for a story where you put a bunch of really smart people in a room (or in a room and in space), and they work to solve a seemingly unsolvable problem and save the day. Also, Apollo 13 – this is fictional but that wasn't! #HATM
