1/ Ready for your next great podcast? Whether you’re looking for an immersive series for your holiday travels, or something that you can pause and return to throughout the day, we’ve got you covered:
2/ "Floodlines," hosted by Vann R. Newkirk II, is a story of rumors and betrayal surrounding Hurricane Katrina, one of the most misunderstood events in American history.

3/ Each week on "The Review," our culture critics break down a work of pop culture. In this episode, @sophieGG, @davidlsims, and @lenikacruz explain why “The Ring” is a modern horror classic—and oddly resonant today.

4/ Our journey to happier living starts with the question “How do I feel right now?” In "How to Build a Happy Life," @arthurbrooks and @danharris explore the neuroscience of emotional management—and a first, small step you can take.

5/ On #TheExperimentPodcast, Chris Heath reopens a bizarre mystery: Why were Americans inundated with unsolicited deliveries of seeds in the summer of 2020? And could the logical answer that experts and the USDA endorse be wrong?

1/10 January 6 was practice for Trump’s next coup attempt, @bartongellman reports. In our cover story, Gellman examines the convictions of Trump’s most fervent supporters, including some who stormed the Capitol. Here’s what he learned from researchers: bit.ly/3EuhxbR
@bartongellman 2/10 The first fact about insurgents that surprised Robert A. Pape, a political-science professor at the University of Chicago, was their age: Violent political extremists tend to be in their 20s and early 30s, but the median age of people at the Capitol that day was 41.8.
3/10 Then there were the economic anomalies: Only 7% of insurgents were jobless; more than half had a white-collar job or owned a business. “The last time America saw middle-class whites involved in violence was the expansion of the second KKK in the 1920s,” Pape told Gellman.

The Atlantic’s January/February issue examines the threats to the American experiment one year after the January 6 insurrection. The system held, but barely. Our new reporting suggests that we are closer to losing our democracy than most ever thought possible:
2/ Donald Trump may be capable of winning a fair election in 2024, but he doesn’t intend to take that chance, @bartongellman reports. In our cover story, Gellman investigates how the former president is laying the groundwork to subvert the next election: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
3/ “If the plot succeeds, the ballots cast by American voters will not decide the presidency in 2024,” Gellman writes. “Thousands of votes will be thrown away, or millions, to produce the required effect.”

1/ The #GRAMMYs have announced nominees in 86 categories. Over the past year, our critic @skornhaber reviewed many of the contenders for Album of the Year. Here are some of the highlights:
2/ “Sour,” by Olivia Rodrigo, “embodies a trend of treating songwriting as an act of explanation rather than exploration,” Kornhaber argued in May.

3/ Billie Eilish’s success has “capped off a decade during which popular music made more space for malaise in its melodies,” Kornhaber wrote. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

1/6 Can a democracy banish God? @RachelDonadio reports on how France came to view religion as a threat to national identity.
theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
2/6 The Confirming Respect for the Principles of the Republic bill, also called the anti-separatism bill, is the latest salvo in a centuries-old battle between the French state and organized religion, Donadio explains.
3/6 Among other things, the bill places stricter controls on religious associations, gives the state broad authority to temporarily shut down any house of worship if there is a suspicion that it is inciting hatred or violence, and puts tighter restrictions on asylum seekers.

1/7 The most important animal-rights case of the 21st century will be heard next year, Jill Lepore writes. It’s about an elephant named Happy. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
2/7 Happy was captured and brought to the U.S. from Thailand shortly after she was born around 1970. For most of her life, she has lived at the Bronx Zoo, where she used to perform tricks and lounge with her friends Tus and Grumpy. Now Happy lives alone.
3/7 The Nonhuman Rights Project says that Happy’s detention is unlawful because under U.S. law she should be considered a person—and shouldn’t live alone. Personhood has been granted to corporations and ships. But can an elephant be a person? theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
