The journalist and the jinx in a suburban standoff
CLAIRE DANES GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION for her “cry face.” It is, indeed, a sight to behold. Engulfed by waves of sorrow, her chin vibrates, her eyes scrunch, the corners of her mouth turn down as though tugged by invisible weights.

LIVING IN PUBLIC
“The camera eats first.” A decade ago, that phrase was a joke about influencers and their avocado toast. Now it's shorthand for how every corner of life—dinners, cleaning, milestones, even grief—can be packaged for public consumption. We live in a world where intimacy has become inventory, where the difference between living and posting is often just a matter of lighting.

The food pyramid may be back on the menu
EARLY PUBLIC NUTRITION ADVICE CAME AS A WARNING. Wilbur O. Atwater, a chemist and renowned nutritionist, wrote in an 1902 edition of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) digest, Farmers' Bulletin, that \"Unless care is exercised in selecting food, a diet may result which is one-sided or badly balanced—that is, one in which either protein or fuel ingredients (carbohydrate and fat) are provided in excess ... The evils of overeating may not be felt at once, but sooner or later they are sure to appear.\"

A seductive Dangerous Liaisons remix, with feminist intentions
There are no heroes in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' 1782 novel of end-stage French aristocratic decadence. Its chief villain is Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil, a master manipulator who exploits her former lover the Vicomte de Valmont's resurgent desire for her with a wager that dooms them both. As a teenage Fiona Apple dryly noted: “It's a sad, sad world when a girl will break a boy just because she can.”

FOOD IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. Everyone knows this. But it’s also the difference between stability and instability, union and division, and peace and war. I have had a front-row seat to some of the worst recent humanitarian crises—from Yemen and Syria to Afghanistan and Gaza—and this has been true, time and time again.

What would 50-year mortgages mean for buyers?
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS BEGUN PROMOTING the idea of 50-year mortgages as a way to make homes more affordable for buyers—a plan that has drawn criticism even from some of the President’s allies, and that experts warn could come with potentially major drawbacks. President Trump floated the idea of introducing 50-year mortgages in a Truth Social post on Nov. 8. Soon after, Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte wrote in a post on X: “Thanks to President Trump, we are indeed working on The 50 year Mortgage—a complete game changer.”
