Top 5 articles: Siberia is melting

And folks, we've entered a new era. The era of "Gen Z is ruining ___"

1. “Radical warming in Siberia leaves millions on unstable ground” (Washington Post)

   Because this exposé on how Siberia is melting and how it’s changing farmland, towns and waterways is compelling.

2. “Forever 21 Underestimated Young Women” (The Atlantic)

   Because we love Atlantic staff writer Amanda Mull. She constantly has well-written, fascinating articles on common American issues, norms and current news. This one - looking at the habits of Gen-Z and the fall of Forever 21 - is a look at a bigger problem of the changing consumer landscape.

3. “The Return of Doomsday” (Foreign Affairs)

   Because a new nuclear arms race - and the political and social strife that comes with it - is very possible.

4. “My Family’s Life Inside and Outside America’s Racial Categories” (New York Times Magazine)

   Because, “no matter how strong he was, he was not strong enough to shield — not fully — his sons from the psychological warfare of American racism that whispers obscenities at little boys when they find themselves alone.”

5. “Capital in the 21st century (B.C. that is)” (Washington Post)

   Because inequality comes from bovines, apparently.

6. BONUS: “Fascinated to Presume: In Defense of Fiction” (The NY Review of Books)

   Because Zadie Smith can write. I’d read this with a cup of tea and a blanket, and be prepared to sit with it for a while after you’ve finished reading.
