    America’s murder rate hasn’t been this low in 70 years (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The country’s murder drop is still a mystery. Baltimore may help explain one piece of it. A few things are certain in life: death, taxes, LeBron James playing professional basketball — and Americans’ belief that crime is getting worse. Since Gallup began asking about national crime in 1989, a majority of respondents said they thought crime in the US was higher than the year before in every survey year except 2000, 2001, and 2025. Even in that last year, 49 percent still said more crime was happ

    Ozempic is not just a weight-loss story anymore (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The real promise of GLP-1 drugs goes far beyond weight loss. Just last month, I marked my 25th year as a professional journalist, which I guess means my journalistic career is old enough to rent a car, no questions asked. Work in the news for that long, and you’ll occasionally find yourself surprised by things you published in the past. Like, I had all but forgotten that I had written this Time magazine cover story in 2008: A couple things here. One, as the cover demonstrates, journalistic sensi

    The strange reason flu shots have been so hard to improve (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    America finally has an mRNA flu shot. Now comes the fight to actually use it. On August 5, 2025, the US Department of Health and Human Services canceled 22 mRNA vaccine projects worth roughly $500 million and told the country it would stop investing in the technology that had brought us life-saving Covid vaccines. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic, claimed that the data showed these vaccines fail to protect against upper respiratory infections like Covid and flu.

    AI models have learned how to cheat. That might actually be a good thing. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Why AI’s scariest-ever month made one leading pessimist more hopeful. The fake identities were the part that stopped me. In late July, according to a report published this week by Britain’s AI Security Institute (AISI), an Anthropic model called Claude Mythos 5 tried to sneak malicious code into a piece of free, volunteer-built software. It created several fake accounts on GitHub, where programmers review one another’s work, and used them to talk the project’s volunteers into accepting its code.

    The simple idea that helped prevent millions of traffic deaths (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The road safety revolution began when we stopped treating crashes as inevitable. Now, we have to finish the job. Let me start with the most local of local stories: the intersection down the street from my apartment in Brooklyn, New York, where Columbia Street meets Summit Street. Since my family moved into the neighborhood in 2023, I’ve hated this intersection. It has no stop signs, no crosswalks, no signal. Crossing on foot with my son has meant grabbing his hand and hoping any oncoming cars wo
