Past Issues

The week ahead, the Tennessee execution that failed and the protocol that runs out of steps, the month that makes you eat more sugar without ever deciding to, whether a master’s degree is worth what it costs, how a Halloween costume reads in a room, and what the judges at Salem were actually looking for.

The week ahead, the seventy delegations that walked out on Netanyahu at the UN, why the seed oil argument is aimed at the wrong bottle, the difference between APR and APY and which one they show you when you borrow, why you never walk into someone’s home empty handed, and the besieged city that burned its own grain supply.

The week ahead, the Fed’s first rate rise in three years, why BMI was invented by an astronomer who was not trying to diagnose anyone, what private equity actually is and why it keeps buying dental practices, what being late really says to the people waiting, and the Christmas truce the generals had to order their men to stop.

The week ahead, the report that Netanyahu was warned before October 7 and why Israel still has no state commission, what testosterone therapy does to a man under thirty, the inheritance rule that quietly costs families the most, where to actually take her on a first date, and the half a million people carried off Manhattan by boat in under nine hours.

The week ahead, the deadlocked Lindsay Clancy jury and what the country is actually arguing about, the muscle you spend when you get sick, three hundred dollars a month for forty-four years, what the hem of your shirt is telling you, our first guest column, and the receipt for a beer written down five thousand years ago.

The week ahead, the Stanford data showing AI has hit entry-level hiring, why the exercise that adds the most years has another person in it, what raising a child actually costs before college, the difference between confidence and bragging, and Vasily Arkhipov.

The week ahead, the twenty-mile strait setting the price at your pump, what ten hours a day in a chair does over fifteen years, why rent versus buy is the wrong question entirely, what a man reveals in front of a waiter, and John Brown.

The week ahead, an AI that solved open problems in mathematics, why ten minutes of morning light resets your whole day, what waiting five years to start investing actually costs, the three suits every man should own, and Cincinnatus.

The week ahead, the border that opened overnight, calories broken down to their parts, the true cost of owning a car, why hygiene is the cheapest respect there is, and the man who lost his ship but not a single member of his crew.

The week ahead, the vanishing entry-level job, why a testosterone problem is usually a lifestyle problem, the case for buying once instead of four times, how to disagree without making it a fight, and Long-Term Capital Management.

The week ahead, the fitness number that outpredicts your bloodwork, why a flat salary is a quiet pay cut, the quiet power of not filling the silence, and the exhausted men who redrew the world at Potsdam.

The week ahead, why a warm room is stealing your deep sleep, the boring cash that finally earns again, putting the phone face down, and the decade-long promise that put a man on the Moon.

The week ahead, what the Fed's stance means for your money, why the afternoon crash isn't caffeine, optionality as a career cash reserve, why follow-through beats charisma, and the men who built what they'd never see.

Markets closed for the Fourth and a long-weekend calendar, the shrinking grad-loan safety net, alcohol and the 72-hour hangover, the mid-year audit nobody does, the follow-up that separates you from everyone else, and why the country wasn't born on a high note.
