It's crazy to me that this is not leading the New York Times, NBC News, CNN, etc. If you're that numb, maybe think about a field other than journalism.

A notably gendered trend: we live in a culture that can embrace an older woman as sexual guide. Tellingly, there's no mention here of "Pillion." The older male sexual mentor continues to threaten. In These Summer Movies, Sex Comes With a Mentor www.nytimes.com/2026/08/19/m...

In ‘The Invite’ and ‘Camp Miasma,’ Sex Comes With a Mentor

In films like “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” and “The Invite,” middle-aged sexual gurus are helping younger characters — and audiences — relearn desire.

I love that the name Alexander Zverev receives audible boos on Centre Court, and that ESPN, which has otherwise entirely suppressed criticism of him, is obligated to air the moment.

I was 17 years old when this story ran. I am very aware that if I had been 27, there's a good chance I wouldn't be here to remind you of it. I try never to forget that as much as I chose my own path in life, I also got lucky.

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Because the service had been arranged last minute, the funeral home on a busy street in Atlanta could only offer them one hour.
Orlin wore a long-sleeved shirt and a tan vest with a striped bow tie and matching pants.
The clothes concealed his injuries. A new teddy bear was tucked beside him.
Embroidered into the satin lining of his casket was "Principito," or "Little Prince."
His full name was embossed on the coffin:
Orlin Josue Hernandez Reyes.
McCaffrey and Hernandez's sister had to hold Hernandez up as she walked trembling toward her son. Once she regained the strength to stand, she stood over him and stroked his face and chest.
"I never wanted to leave you," she whispered repeatedly. "I wanted to bring you with me.
My son."

Great to see a tennis journalist refuse to take part in the systemic silence that has protected Zverev (and his corporate enablers) from scrutiny. Well done, Ben.

TNT’s fawning coverage of Shnaider, eating ice cream on a bike to cool down from her match, is an embarrassment of avoidance. Haber and Navratilova should at a minimum mention the subtext.

Big ovation for Oliynykova, defeated, who nonetheless walks to the middle of the court to wave to fans. She has won a lot of hearts in this tournament.

Shnaider looks out of sorts against Oliykykova early on. Down 1-4 in the first set.

This is what I’m talking about. Ruud has been to 3 major finals, including 2 at Roland Garros — but the TNT graph elevates Zverev.

Sinner should have had to complete that game before leaving the court.

So TNT is all-in on 3-time major finalist and alleged batterer of women Alexander Zverev, but has no air time for 3-time major finalist, all-around good guy, and cutie pie Casper Ruud. Good to know!

Whether it's Donald Trump seeking to imprison journalists or a couple of NYU students telling Jeremy Peters they don't like Jonathan Haidt, both sides have adopted a totalitarian attitude towards free speech.

There's no greater sign of the iron grip that "both sides" framing has on American journalists than the repeated descriptions of the unhinged tantrum Trump is throwing over the pope's anodyne statements on Catholic doctrine as a "feud" or a "fight" or anything else that implies they're both to blame

Under the cloud of discourse that has formed since its 2017 release, Guadagnino's "Call Me by Your Name" remains a rapturous, sensual idyll. For all its visual detail, it's a ravishing aesthetic abstraction; for all its purported "normativity," its heart stubbornly queer.
