So these are the aspects of acquiring and keeping material possessions in this life that we will stipulate are (1) unworthy and (2) not what we are talking about, anyway: greed and miserliness and ostentation and competitiveness and materialism and mindless consumption and personal vanity and social climbing and decadence and deranged, shameful values....

Ours is an old dark house. It has been 14 months since bread was baked in the kitchen; tonight it feels like a meat locker and so I go upstairs for a sweater. Down the hall is my daughter’s room, with the pale pink carpet and candy-striped paper, the one bedroom I keep open, for I have closed off the others to keep in the cold. I can see my breath in the master bedroom....

So when it rains, and the soil reaches its saturation point, the results can be deadly....

While some parents worry that white noise can become a “sleep crutch,” there’s actually no evidence to suggest that long-term white noise use is a bad thing.

So, what is everyone talking about? The Democratic candidates for president? Not exactly. “It’s like choosing between children,” she said. “There’s so much bickering, and it’s so petty—like, these aren’t the things that should be holding our attention.” What does matter? Without a moment’s hesitation, she declared—“Climate.” And it makes sense: From devastating floods in Venice to unprecedented bushfires in Australia to record mid-November lows from the northeastern U.S. to Texas, increasingly extreme weather events have been a way of life for the young....

This debate is hardly new. It dates all the way back to America’s founding. As a political economist interested in the historical foundations of modern U.S. trade policy, I think it’s worth revisiting that history. The Declaration of Independence, written in 1776, contains a long list of grievances against King George III.

He might act differently in other settings, too. For example, if you’re doing the dishes in the kitchen, he may kiss you on the neck. Later, when you’re sitting down and reading a book, he might kiss the top of your head. To deal with a Gemini man in private, be extra spontaneous. For example, ask, “How would you feel about renting a cabin with me this weekend? I’m feeling like a getaway....
