HPV vaccines reduce the risk of cervical cancer by 80% in women vaccinated by 16. Yet even 20 years after its introduction, only 63% of U.S. teens have completed the vaccination series. Read this 3-part series: bit.ly/3RSbKIL

Quote that states, "Something I’d never heard of almost killed me."

Text on graphic reads, "Michael Whelan came in for arthritis, and left with a diagnosis of stage 4 HPV-related cancer in his throat. As rates of cervical cancer have fallen, head and neck tumors have emerged as the most common HPV-related cancer."

Image of Michael Whelan in hospital.

Graphic with quote, "I tell everybody,
‘This can happen to you’. But it is preventable… You do not have to die from this.”

Text on graphic reads, "Jennifer Simpson is a cervical cancer survivor who lost her uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Now she helps raise awareness about the importance of prevention in Alabama — the first U.S. state to launch a formal strategic plan to eliminate cervical cancer."

Image of Jennifer Simpson is at the top of the graphic.

Graphic with text that reads, "The efficacy of the HPV vaccine has made eliminating cervical cancer achievable. Nearly 200 nations have committed to eliminating cervical cancer. The United States has not. Only 63% of U.S. teens have completed the vaccination series. And there are significant gaps in screening and follow-up care."

Quote on graphic by Tamika Felder cervical cancer survivor and founder of Cervivor.

“No one should be diagnosed with or die from a cancer we have the ability to prevent.”

Text below quote reads, "Delivering on the promise of the HPV vaccine will require a coordinated national strategy to increase awareness, vaccinations, screenings, and follow-ups."

So thoughtful of your parents to put together their very own fall tv preview! Read it here: www.newyorker.com/humor/shouts...

Shouts & Murmurs
Your Parents’ Fall TV Preview
By Josh Gondelman
Published 9/17/2026

A photo of an older white couple sitting on a couch watching tv.

“North of South of the Border” on Paramount+

Welcome to El Paso, where men are men and women are cast mostly in nonspeaking roles. Taylor Sheridan’s latest drama stars Mel Gibson as a Border Patrol agent who feels conflicted about his work because his bosses won’t let him arbitrarily deport Jews and Greek people. Sheridan’s shows currently take up so much of Paramount’s programming that there isn’t enough time in the day to air “North of South of the Border” as its own hour-long drama. It appears exclusively in snippets on television sets that characters are watching within the show “Landman,” which your parents refer to as “Yellowstone.”

“Tendershire Farms” (Season 18) on BritBox
Maude Tendershire (Olivia Gingerbottom) works as the caretaker for her family’s historic chamomile farm. That’s about it. The show is so cozy and soothing that the actors frequently fell asleep during takes and can be spotted snoozing in the background. This season, low-jinx ensue after Lord Gilderoy (Hankleton Dunderthorpe III) stops by for a visit, but he’s already eaten so he doesn’t stay for tea. A lamb wanders off but soon returns. And for one entire episode, a gentle breeze rustles the branches of a weeping willow tree as an inaudible conversation takes place nearby.

“Dr. Shaft, M.D.” on Fox
An underground facility known as Drive Shaft, Maryland, is home to the Washington, D.C. metro area’s most cutthroat drag-racing scene—and there’s a new driver tearing up the quarter-mile track. Other gearheads know him as Smooth J., but at his day job, at the Foggy Bottom Urology Clinic, Jason Shafterton goes by Dr. Shaft. Will his addiction to fast driving undermine his commitment to providing affordable penile health care to residents of our nation’s capital? Only time will tell. Your parents really aren’t that interested in the racing scenes or, frankly, the medical stuff. But your mom refuses to miss an episode because the show stars Daveed Diggs from the original cast of “Hamilton.”

Burnett explained that while the sketch was brilliantly written, it called for "Starlett" to "come down the stairs with the curtains just hanging" on her. Mackie, thinking the visual element could be funnier, "came up with the idea of making the dress with the curtain rod. I fell on the floor."

the musk family is, uh, something www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

In a voice-over, Gibney says there are 14 known children of Musk’s but likely many more. Musk has built a compound in Austin for the children and their mothers.

His thinking, according to tech journalist Kara Swisher: “I have superior genes, and I need to procreate.”

Musk’s parents also appear in the documentary. His father Errol, it should be noted, told the Sun in 2022 that “the only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce.” He was defending having a second child with his stepdaughter. (You read that correctly.) Errol describes his son’s childhood as one rife with bullying and beatdowns.

His mother, Maye, meanwhile describes a chaotic household in which Errol would tell her three times a day how stupid and ugly she was, before occasionally beating her.
