There is no standard Sunday Long Read this week, but our supporting members received one of their bonus editions last night. But as a social follower, you're getting a sneak peek! Our first featured story comes from the @torontolife and reports on a history of absurd neighbor-versus-neighbor battles of the ultra-rich on Palm Beach Island, FL. torontolife.com/deep-dives/c…
In our monthly True Crime roundup, a photo from The Times of London with the caption: "Drunk tourist faces prison after stealing flamingo in Las Vegas." Read True Crime archives and subscribe here: bit.ly/4hvV2Gm
ALT Two individuals in a security camera image are in an elevator. One is holding a drink and wearing a tank top, with tattoos visible. The other is shirtless, holding clothing. The background includes elevator doors and a control panel. "PHOTO OF THE MONTH" text is displayed above.
From the @nytimes: "As a young actor, she was determined to avoid being typecast as a 'sex bomb.' Thirty years later, she’s in total control of the women she plays." nytimes.com/2026/10/19/magaz…
Fossil fuels have been incredibly beneficial to humanity. We all know this. We also know that we have to stop burning them. We are more tied to petroleum than many people realize. The most popularized concept of the American Dream was built around cars, suburbs, consumption, and cheap energy.

“The internet must be put out of its misery,” writes Miles Klee for @WIRED. “Any rational observer can admit that the current iteration of the web—and the social fabric woven there—is not what they signed up for. Symptoms of advanced cultural decay can no longer be ignored. This thing is eating itself.” wired.com/story/let-the-inte…
This week's The Lineup newsletter, highlighting the best in sports journalism, is out. Look for a harrowing story about Kenyan runner Agnes Ngetich, kayaks, a viral baseball card shop and a classic on Tony Dorsett. mailchi.mp/sundaylongread/th…
Joe Redner, the so-called “strip club king” of Tampa, made sure he was at his adult entertainment venues whenever he knew the cops were coming. He wanted to be arrested along with the women he employed (he estimated he was arrested more than 150 times). A virtuoso obit by Clay Risen of a political gadfly, advocate of free speech and a true Tampa original. nytimes.com/2026/10/27/us/jo…
In latest The Lineup newsletter from @GolfDigest: When you gotta go, you gotta know where! golfdigest.com/story/the-sea…
Is Andrew Scott the greatest working actor today? My wife and daughters say yes. In his one-man play “Sea Wall,” Scott is “the soul of a sadness machine.” But in this beguiling profile by Jesse Green for the @nytimes, Scott professes to be surprised he is considered “his generation’s greatest tragedian,” insisting “he doesn’t see himself as sad, or at least no sadder than other people. nytimes.com/2026/10/27/theat…

Francesca D’Annunzio and McKenzie Funk do a subtle thing in this story, injecting themselves into the narrative in the smallest ways: “he told us,” “the pay stubs we had gathered,” etc. The technique only amplifies the humanity—and pain—in the drama they so exactingly carve out of observed scenes and shattered lives. propublica.org/article/depor…?
In the latest The Lineup newsletter, a fascinating look @KaitlynDPohly for @TheAthletic at what happened when the NHL joined the hockey romance game. nytimes.com/athletic/7703357…
The @washingtonpost reports on how communities along the southern border turned against Joe Biden as crossings surged. Now they’re souring on Trump as his immigration raids round up their neighbors. wapo.st/4BH5B4c
Robert F. Worth finds devastation in Cuba, and within that suffering the smallest shreds of hope. theatlantic.com/magazine/202…
We’re suckers for a good business profile of a big company in transition. And now we could go for a burger. bloomberg.com/news/features/…
