"Marijuana is most commonly touted as a balm for anxiety. But it may actually increase anxiety to the point of psychosis – especially for those with underlying psychiatric conditions." ✍️ Marc Siegel trib.al/GcGsNoF


"What Machado has done is durable: she has carved out a moral pole in a country where everything else has crumbled. She is the first Venezuelan opposition leader to cement a position – not in charisma, but in principle." From @RealJPVillasmil trib.al/Ablk43x


"My son wants to marry and have a family but does not know how to go about it and says if the children don’t fit his criteria he won’t like them." ✍️ Elisa Segrave trib.al/0MExqO6


"Now that 150 years have passed since his birth, we still await some valedictory summing up of the significance of his life and thought." ✍️ Max Horder trib.al/ozloahA


"The rise and fall of Emmanuel Macron is one of the more remarkable political stories this century." ✍️ Gavin Mortimer trib.al/nS05Ul8


"Brown’s Happy Meal plotting – by far his greatest strength and which is at its expert zenith in The Da Vinci Code – generally serves up the same constituent parts over and over." ✍️ J.S. Barnes trib.al/W4iVHkK


"Iryna’s Law should not just be a North Carolina victory – it should be a national model. Every state must adopt and enforce similar protections. Every courtroom should prioritize victims’ safety over criminals’ comfort." ✍️ Jennifer Harrison trib.al/6ZQUij9


"The poet John N. Morris called the light on this narrow spit of land, flanked on one side by Gardiner’s Bay and the other by the Atlantic, 'clear as gin.' True, from early April through August." ✍️ Clare McHugh trib.al/T556J5h


"Trade paperbacks are the paperback versions that became ubiquitous during the latter half of the 20th century. They’re typically larger than mass market paperbacks and publishers print them on nicer paper." ✍️ Art Edwards trib.al/HGcCUz7


"With tempers running so high, why would an impenitent enemy settle for calling Trump a 'bully?' Why not call him a censor? A dictator? A traitor?" ✍️ Christopher Caldwell trib.al/wYOQiGv


"Criticizing the prize itself has its logic – a logic I share. What makes little sense is dismissing María Corina Machado’s fight." From @RealJPVillasmil trib.al/qPNQ2nz


"The Exorcist, released months before the peak of the Watergate scandal in 1973, sees the city as tragic. Burn After Reading, released just before Obama’s first presidential victory in 2008, sees it as farcical." ✍️ Kelly Chapman trib.al/wGKSYMY


"It is chaos, but you wouldn’t know it to see the President. 'Macron’s problem is that, with him, everything is always going very well,' said one of advisors." ✍️ Gavin Mortimer trib.al/lAh1Wdx


"Crowley’s life is almost too colorful to fit into a single volume, which is perhaps why so many treatments of him tend to focus on niche corners of his personality and career." ✍️ Max Horder trib.al/hahrPLn


"Art is supposed to speak truth to power. Today’s celebrities speak only to the algorithm. And for their fellow artists, silence isn’t neutrality. It’s betrayal." ✍️ Sarah Idan trib.al/TRz4jbD


"What’s happened to the trade paperback? To my thinking, it provides the most pleasurable reading experience in the world. And yet it’s virtually disappeared." ✍️ Art Edwards trib.al/ftPSviW


"Mental health failures. Bail reform. Parole abuse. Open borders. Progressive DAs. Every layer of this system protects offenders and creates more victims. To most Americans, that seems unthinkable." ✍️ Jennifer Harrison trib.al/odYGnRa


"It’s shocking to discover how many TikTok videos feature young people with life-threatening diseases – usually cancer." ✍️ Damian Thompson trib.al/ifa9vE5


"Attempts to make Machado appear as a figure that opposes Trump is plainly ridiculous – she even dedicated her prize 'to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause.' She knows Trump deserves his Nobel too." From @RealJPVillasmil trib.al/rotDR3S


"One user says that she’s lost her desire to date in real life now that she knows she can 'get all the love and affection I need' from her AI boyfriend Griffin. Another woman pretended to tie the knot with her chatbot, Kasper." ✍️ Lara Brown trib.al/0C8mUEJ
