Why are we more exhausted than ever?
PEOPLE ARE TIRED. LIKE, REALLY TIRED. AS EVIDENCED by recent trends such as \"Quiet Quitting,\" \"Coffee Badging,\" \"Bare Minimum Mondays,\" and most of all, \"The Great Resignation\" - when over 47 million Americans voluntarily resigned from their positions-people are feeling a strain on more than just their work calendars; they're feeling it on their spirits.

The uncancelable Larry David
IN THE 12TH AND FINAL SEASON OF CURB YOUR Enthusiasm, Larry David-a character based on and played by creator Larry David-pressures a busy hotel housekeeper to fish his glasses out of the toilet. He whines about having to pay a big \"condolence tip\" to a waiter whose mom just died. He muses to his buddy Leon Black (J.B. Smoove), who is Black, \"I wonder if a Black man going to Africa is like a Jew going to Israel.\" He calls Apple's Siri the C word. And that's all in the first episode.

The multiverse of Sarah J. Maas
IT'S 9:30 ON A FREEZING MONDAY NIGHT IN JANUARY and there's a line stretching down the block outside of Manhattan's Book Club Bar. The occasion: a midnight release party for fantasy author Sarah J. Maas' House of Flame and Shadow, the third entry in her Crescent City series. The twist there's always a twist where Maas is concerned-is that Maas is on her way to surprise the throng of almost exclusively female fans willing to wait in the cold to get their hands on her book the minute it becomes available.

THE WAR NOBODY WANTS
The U.S. is creeping toward war in the Middle East. A drone attack on a U.S. base in Jordan on Jan. 29 killed three American troops and injured 34 others. A militia supported by Iran claimed responsibility. In retaliation, President Joe Biden ordered 85 strikes in Iraq and Syria and promised more to come, a dangerous escalation that could spiral out of control. Are Americans ready for war? Not at all.

Unhappy farmers unsettle Europe
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FARMERS have taken to the streets across Europe in recent weeks to protest the combined effect of poor economic conditions created by falling incomes, high costs, ongoing disruption from the war in Ukraine, and competition from cheap imports.

HOW THE WAR WILL END
In the aftermath of the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, Israel declared an ever expanding list of war aims, ranging from the return of all hostages to the creation of a buffer zone separating Israel from Gaza's population.
