Adolescence can be brutal. High school can be emotional. Race can be complicated. Social media can both spark and fuel fires. So it won't surprise you that the combination these things could create a hell of a lot of personal and social angst. This is still a shocking story, but one that seems somehow par for our era. "It was a private Instagram account with barely more than a dozen followers. Few people saw it when it was live. Yet its discovery derailed lives, shredded relationships and caused families to flee both the town and its public schools. What happened in Albany happened online, but the repercussions played out everywhere ... It was the incident that explained everything and yet also the incident that couldn’t be explained. But I have tried: I spent more than five years reporting on what happened." Dashka Slater in the NYT Mag (Gift Article) with the wild (and wildly depressing in many ways) story of The Instagram Account That Shattered a California High School. 2Four Seasons Total Disaster"Even if he wins, he’s going to destroy you. This guy’s going to humiliate you." Remember when Rudy was pretty sure he’d be named Secretary of State? It wasn't that long ago. It wasn't really that long ago that Rudy was called America's mayor. The fall has been dramatic, and in some ways tragic (certainly for America). And it doesn't appear that its hit bottom. Dan Barry in the NYT (Gift Article): From ‘America’s Mayor’ to Criminal Defendant: Giuliani’s Long Tumble. 3A Pretty Penne"Those whole-peeled plum tomatoes from southern Italy are so essential to the success of the entire company that Sovos lists among its business risks the volcanic activity of Mount Vesuvius." It's nice to know that, occasionally, good things happen to good sauces. WSJ: This Tomato Sauce Is Delicious. It’s Also Worth Billions of Dollars. 4Weekend WhatsWhat to Read: In my younger years, I was a TV sports reporter covering the SF Giants, sticking my mic into the postgame scrum so I could bring another generic, forgettable quote back to the studio. But what if a sports reporter actually got a postgame comment no one expected? Dave Eggers imagines just such a curveball scenario as only he can in this excellent short story in The Atlantic: The Comebacker. 5Extra, ExtraCalifornia Streaming: "Hurricane Hilary grew rapidly to Category 4 strength off Mexico’s Pacific coast on Friday and could reach Southern California as the first tropical storm there in 84 years, causing 'significant and rare impacts' including extensive flooding." How significant and rare? Hurricane Hilary could dump over a year’s worth of rain on parts of the Southwest. And it could transform hottest place on Earth into massive lake. And Canada's disastrous fire season continues as 20,000 flee the northern Canadian city of Yellowknife. Here's the latest. 6Feel Good Friday"In a wellness economy that revolves around colorfully packaged supplements, boutique fitness classes and celebrity-endorsed diet pills, psyllium husks may seem an unglamorous throwback. Derived from a shrub native to South Asia, where they have been used for centuries as a digestive aid, the husks look like the bedding found in a hamster cage, taste like sawdust and turn gelatinous when mixed with water." NYT (Gift Article): A Centuries-Old Fiber Supplement Entices the Ozempic Generation. (This may not be Feel Good Friday, but it's likely to be Feel Good Saturday, or Sunday at the latest...)
