What you see on social media are highlight reels--the good things happening, the things people are proud of. You don't hear the disappointments, the rejections, the bad news. We only talk about that at the bar among trusted friends. But right now? I've never seen such anxiety among writers. 4/

She’s a burned-out marine biologist. He’s a rugged ROV pilot who doesn’t believe in love or lanternfish. When their ROV gets stuck next to a deep-sea coral garden, they learn the real treasure… was reefs (and emotional vulnerability) all along.

For a couple of years now, I've been fascinated with what's happening at small liberal arts colleges, which are running out of money for reasons unrelated to Trump funding cuts. Businessweek let me go deep on the problems, and one college that's trying to blaze a new trail.
Why a College Fighting for Survival Is Slashing Econ and Physics Majors
At Albright in Pennsylvania, the new president is cutting programs, selling art and real estate, and vowing not to hire anyone with tenure. Is this the way forward for liberal arts colleges?

Do cats meow more at men than they do women?
A study from a research team suggests that many cats have concluded that men don’t always listen, and adjusted their behavior accordingly.

If someone in the White House press corps doesn't ask Trump today why he's so scared of strong women, they should all go home.

Why do people think the road to hell is paved at all? Are you planning to drive there?
More specifically, the road to hell is paved with the intention to make good things last.
