Subscriptions are suspended for the weeks I’m not working. (If you are a paid subscriber, details on how that works for you are in the final section of this post.) I expect to be back to work c. mid-summer.
In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a little reading material:
Rise of the climate dad, by my former The Week colleague Jacob Lambert for Heatmap News, drawing on some fascinating results from the outlet’s first poll.
Poll: Americans fault news media for dividing nation, by David Klepper for The Associated Press. I found this quote particularly revealing and a good reminder of the gap between what I think of when I say “the news” and what many Americans, especially in older generations, have in mind:
“The news riles people up,” said 53-year-old Barbara Jordan, a Democrat from Hutchinson, Kansas. Jordan said she now does her own online research instead of going by what she sees on the TV news. “You’re better off Googling something and learning about it. I trust the internet more than I do the TV.”
Why free street parking is actually costing you, by Michael J. Coren for The Washington Post. Parking minimums stifle development, hike housing costs, and ruin cities.
Getting out of bed is an act of worship, by Alan Noble for Christianity Today. I’ve mentioned the book before; here’s a taste.
I’ve also got four pieces of my own in the queue at Christianity Today—a book review plus columns on eschatology, the national debt, and kids and smartphones—so be on the lookout for those in the weeks to come.
