1/ In a turbulent year, Atlantic writers have sought to provide readers with practical advice. But some of the stories that have resonated most have also offered insight for our everyday life. Here are a few words of wisdom from the year: theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…
2/ @jpinsk spoke with @oliverburkeman about how time management takes on a different meaning when you remember just how short life is. on.theatln.tc/ZEgGOBh
3/ Your 20s don’t have to be the “best time of your life,”@Rainesford wrote. “This glorification of youth also seems to assume that everyone has the same resources; moves on the same timeline, in the same way; and has the same kind of life.” on.theatln.tc/UdiAuRQ

1/ For the seventh time, @LJStandley and @McQuadeEric commemorate the 50 best podcasts of 2021. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…
2/ “We seek shows anywhere we can find them—sometimes hearing about them directly from producers, other times from a friend of a friend’s mother’s uncle, or sometimes through our own secret methods of rooting out gems. Then we dig in,” @LJStandley and @McQuadeEric write.
3/ Below, we look back at a few of their favorites from the year.

1/ Last year, TV became essential, our Culture team writes. When the stages we used to go to—concert halls, movie theaters, sports arenas—closed amid the pandemic, the small screen became the only outlet for safe viewing entertainment. bit.ly/3sMvFtN
2/ In their list of the top TV shows of 2021, @shirklesxp, @sophieGG, and @megangarber reflect on how TV kept us enthralled during the pandemic. Below, we look back at what they thought about some of the year’s best shows.
@shirklesxp @sophieGG @megangarber 3/ “I wanted to convey a very beautiful relationship between our ancestors and the land,” the director Barry Jenkins told @hannahgiorgis of his “The Underground Railroad” adaptation. bit.ly/3mEP9ws

1/ It was an odd year in film, our critic @davidlsims writes. “At the end of last year, I pondered whether the pandemic was irrevocably changing cinema.” theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…
2/ In his list of the top films of 2021, Sims considers the movies that affirm the vitality of the medium, no matter the size of the screen. Below, we revisit that list and look back at what he wrote about some of the films when they were first released.
3/ The new film adaptation of “Dune” is epic in scale and ambition. But its true power lies in its quieter, human underpinnings. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…
