I wrote a story about how basically every man I know in my station of life — millennial, in a long term relationship, in possession of a fake email job — does all the cooking in their relationship, which is something I have a lot of theories about.

Sports betting is correct but for you all that look at LeBron or any other person that are involved in prediction markets are totally misinformed on the subject. calling prediction markets sports gambling is like calling the stock market a casino. you don't have to like it, but it's a regulated exchange where people trade with each other, not a house that profits when you lose.

While Molly Saint-James’s late-husband Ian was going through treatments for stage-four colon cancer, the couple had become close to his almost-30-year-old oncology fellow. “He was a bit of a wunderkind: He’d been chief resident and already published in many well-known medical journals by the time he began his postdoctoral fellowship at our hospital,” writes Saint-James. “When he talked to us, he never rushed, even though he had dozens more patients on his roster. Sometimes he cried with us.” After Ian passed away, Saint-James started meeting with the fellow regularly. “I increasingly looked forward to our every-other-week coffees at the hospital and to our random text and email exchanges,” she writes. “What had started as a goofy crush gained traction when Ian told our friend he thought I should marry our fellow. After he died, it began to feel fated. Perhaps.” But eventually, the fallout came and it was swift and painful. “I was devastated at the loss of another primary relationship, especially one all tangled up with Ian.” Read Saint-James’s full essay: nymag.visitlink.me/EoTMwz

We need a massive change in defense strategy. The Iran War exposed a fatal flaw: the US military cannot sustain a war because we run out of munitions quickly. The entire Pentagon budget needs to be upended with a focus on munitions and sustainment as the first priority.
