Albert Brooks was offered roles that went to Tom Hanks, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, and Steve Martin. He turned them all down and reshaped American entertainment his own way. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

This is such a perceptive, lovely profile of Jodie Foster by Jordan Kisner. It includes: sneaker shopping, a great interview with Mel Gibson, and so much fascinating insight into Foster's very complicated relationship to fame theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

This was extremely difficult reporting and the piece @mikespiesnyc wrote is so powerful, moving, sensitive, and fair. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

So many unbelievable, damning details about Romney's GOP colleagues in this piece (adapted from @mckaycoppins' incredible book). But this one about the ketchup salmon keeps haunting me theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

This is definitely the first Tom Hanks profile I've read to involve local newspaper clippings from the 1930s. It’s also lovely and wise in typical Chris Heath fashion theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Hoo boy this essay by Honor Jones is phenomenal. It's also the largest quantity of words I've read since giving birth a few months ago and it made me cry a whole lot theatlantic.com/family/archive…

I once gave one of my very teachers one of my very favorite toys. Fast forward three decades. I had twins. Yesterday, I got a package in the mail. 😭

Hello friends (and Elon). This is just to say: I've left Slate after what's felt like several meaningful lives. It's a privilege to depart at a time when Slate's future is bright, and I'm excited about the hobbies I'll pick up and lose interest in while figuring out what's next.

This Hannah Giorgis piece is a fascinating look at why there are so few interracial couples on reality TV--and also contains some eye-popping behind-the-scenes details about how Love Is Blind producers ginned up racial tensions theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

We're flooding the environment with light and sound, to disastrous effect. @edyong209's cover story on "sensory pollution" is full of beautiful sentences, sharp insights & great photos, especially one displeased turtle that is now burned into my brain theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
