“Garden moms” say that smoking weed is a tool as they strive to “gently” parent—but the line between therapeutic use and overreliance can be hard to discern, Sarah Levy reports: theatlantic.com/family/2026/…

If you’re heading out for a summer vacation, The Atlantic’s writers and editors have suggested some page-turners to bring along. Our senior editor @ssdai chose “How to End a Love Story.” See more selections here: theatln.tc/F1oNT1mM

This "micro-cheating" bullshit does more harm to monogamous relationships than a million poly memoirs ever could. (Also: If someone accuses you of "micro-cheating" and dumps you, they did you a favor.)

"The ambiguity appeals to the essential paranoid fantasy of the internet, that a mass of similarly behaving others are conspiring against you, and that you are not one of them even though you do a lot of the same things." @DangerBrooks on "bros" theatlantic.com/culture/2026…

“Heated Rivalry” might be a sign that audiences still have an appetite for sex scenes—when they actually serve a purpose, @fhill_official writes: theatlantic.com/culture/2026…
I have joined the mass psychosis of Heated Rivalry fandom and honestly it was unexpected and I'm not sure what to do about it but I DID convince @fhill_official to write a piece about the sex scenes and man is it keeping me going

Apparently more employers are ghosting applicants AND more applicants are ghosting employers. It's rUDE but take a look at the history of manners and you'll understand why it's also so dark as hell

Giiiiiiifft link to this piece on the history of how Americans have dealt with NUDITY (the casual, non-sexual, communal kind)
"Americans need to reimagine the naked body—seeing it not as a provocation, but as a natural fact of human life."

i went to the Tesla Diner and you'll be shocked to hear it wasn't very good! theatlantic.com/culture/arch…
This piece from @hornygoatweedjr convinced me to, at the very least, delete Instagram from my phone!!! It's funny and horrifying and one of my favorite pieces I've worked on this year
Franklin Schneider has never owned a smartphone. And based on the amount of social and libidinal energy they seem to have sucked from the world, he’s not sure he ever wants to, he writes: theatlantic.com/family/archi…
Hello I wrote about the work of vibes masters
Keith McNally’s new memoir is full of revelations, but one stands out, writes @ssdai—his portrait of the restaurateur as an artist: theatlantic.com/books/archiv…
This is a pro-Katy Perry take btw (:
Space tourism is, at best, folly—silly, spectacularly wasteful, pointless by definition. And Katy Perry was the perfect celebrity to do it, @elcush writes: theatln.tc/c2Qz7Rwp
A dishwasher story to end all dishwasher stories (and hopefully, arguments)
The internet is filled with dishwasher-loading advice. So why are so many people still arguing about how to do it right? @elcush investigates: theatlantic.com/family/archi…
"The culture tells us, simultaneously, that we should be in a couple and that we should feel whole all by ourselves. We should have a partner, but we shouldn’t want one." @fhill_official on the false cheer of "single positivity"
