    The White House’s 2026 Employee Satisfaction Survey (Probably) (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Though HR is for suckers and losers, our great President is generously affording you—his most loyal Boot-lickers and Subordinates—an opportunity to make your voices heard. Think of this survey as a cognitive test, but for your brain. While filling it out, please abide by President Trump’s personal code of conduct: be honest, be thoughtful, be unbiased. And don’t fall asleep on the job! Primary area of responsibility:(a) Ballroom design(b) Ceasefire negotiations(c) Voter suppression(d) So

    ‘Digger,’ Tom Cruise’s Comeback Vehicle, Is Haunted by the Ghost of the Old Tom Cruise (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In Digger, Tom does not Cruise. He struts, he swears, he swaggers. He speaks loudly in a variety of manners and registers: screaming, hollering, roaring, bellowing. He plots and purrs, stretches his fingers and pats them softly against his protruding belly—a prosthetic he’s been given in order to more believably play a man in his mid-60s. (Cruise himself is merely 64.) He reaches, and for once it’s not for the skids at the bottom of an escaping helicopter. Alejandro González Iñárritu’

    Florence, The Machine (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Florence Pugh does not have a cold, but she does have asthma. It’s flaring up in July—midsummer, if not technically Midsommar—when we meet at Yougi, a bright shop in a London neighborhood charming enough to pull off sharing its name with a famous bear. “I’m sorry,” she says as she arrives, leaning in for a hug—her streaky blond hair slightly damp from the shower, the straps of her floaty white cotton nap dress airily inching down her shoulders. “I’m making some pretty horrible-sounding coughs, b

    Pull the Plug: Making a Case Against Wearable Tech (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Once upon a time, nerds didn’t know they were dressing like nerds, which actually made their ensembles kind of cool. But there is no way to look cool in wearable tech. Even AirPods. (Especially AirPods?) Why, you ask? It’s just all so ugly! Maybe this goes without saying, but let’s say it anyway: From Fitbits and Apple Watches to Oura rings and the monstrosity that is the Oakley Meta Vanguard—wraparound specs that look like a castoff from a ­Jared Leto–starring Tron sequel—wearable ­devices are

    ‘East of Eden’: Zoe Kazan on How She Made Steinbeck’s Masterpiece Her Own (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In 2020, Zoe Kazan started a writing project on her new computer—putting in so many hours that by 2024, the machine was on its last legs. She’d been so focused that three letters on her keyboard had started to wear away: the ones marked “C,” “A,” and “L,” for Cathy, Adam, and Lee, the three protagonists of East of Eden. “Those keys were just gone, which I really loved,” Kazan tells me. “I wore that computer into the ground. It’s dead now.” Her laptop did not die in vain
