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.

Both Fery and Zverev played 3-set matches, so they clearly didn't have to factor in extra recovery time. Beyond that: Djokovic-Sinner is a huge international draw, while Fery is virtually unknown and Zverev's persona is deeply tainted. From a scheduling perspective, it's the right move.

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.

It’s riveting, and so very sad. Lots of cult documentary series available on streaming platforms. A fascinating trend, surely related to the political cult that’s overtaken the country.
