With affirmative action struck down, how could college admissions be transformed? We asked 7 experts to share what they think should come next. They’ve already changed how I think about the whole ecosystem. I hope they do the same for you. nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

Could you capture America in a song? A book? A movie? We asked @nytopinion columnists for their picks. Read on for @maureendowd on "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," @tressiemcphd on "Ted Lasso," @nytdavidbrooks on Blind Willie Johnson, and so much more. nyti.ms/46clqjK

Do you also make intricate Google maps of the best tacos/coffee/croissants every time you travel? This excellent piece by @RachelConnoll14 is for you. nytimes.com/2023/05/19/opini…

Generation Connie hits the front page of @nytopinion just in time for Mother’s Day! As @APQW said while we were debating the zillionth tweak to the story and design, we may have gotten overly emotionally invested in this beautiful tale by @conniewang. Glad to see we’re not alone.

When @conniewang set out to tell the story of her name she found the story of a generation. (And also, Connie Chung!) nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

Our gift from @nytopinion to you this Valentine’s Day: a slightly absurd valentine generator that tests the limits of ChatGPT. (It couldn’t be funny when we asked it to, but unintentionally? Hilarious.) nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

When we started this @nytopinion project and asked people to share their last messages from loved ones who died of Covid I thought we’d get poignant goodbyes, texts and videos from people who knew the end was near. What we ended up with was very different. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

I’m on parental leave so I can’t take credit for how this @nytopinion project turned out, but I can also say — just as a reader — it’s exactly the gut punch this moment deserves. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

Exactly what I needed to read right now as I (we?) think about how to jumpstart out of languishing and into something… better. nytimes.com/2022/02/13/opini…

“Even as we’ve grieved, we’ve grown; even fatigued we’ve found that this hill we climb is one we must mount together. We are battered, but bolder; worn, but wiser.” — @TheAmandaGorman revisits her poem and that day on the stage, one year later. nytimes.com/2022/01/20/opini…

Never have I felt so seen.

THIS. "The trouble is motherhood itself, and its ideal of total selfless devotion." @amandahess on the impulses of bad moms, ie all moms. nytimes.com/2022/01/14/movie…

Thrilled that Jolie and Nak's excellent work is getting recognized, and that this project continues to resonate. Still so proud of every word and every frame.
