In 2019, I made a painful decision. But to the algorithms that drive Facebook, Pinterest, and a million other apps, I'm forever getting married.

Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

Tucked away in the Boston Public Library’s digital archives are a pair of photo negatives. They depict 10 men in bright white sheets, pointy hats, and cut-out eye holes, posed around the John Harvard Statue. In one shot, a hunching Klansman, propped up in the statue's lap, turns his body to face the statue, staring down the cameraman.

There are hints of formal wear; dress shoes and slacks peek out underneath the white robes. A man on the far right holds a boater hat, historically synonymous with Harvard Class Day attire. This was Class Day 1924. At Harvard’s graduation, students took a break from midday commencement exercises, donned sheets, and celebrated by playing dress-up as the Klan.

A roundup of the most notorious female con artists by the author of Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History. It's perfect for anyone fascinated by the likes of faux-blood test entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes and NYC society trickster Anna Delvey. Tori Telfer reaches back to 1700s France and a woman who claimed to be Marie Antoinette's BFF for scamming purposes (think: loads of jewels), tracing scams through to the present day, when New York sisters Kate and Maggie Fox started a movement when they claimed to speak with spirits. Telfer examines what we love about these devious women and why.

Two teenage girls in a tiny Indian village were so close that they were known by a single name. One summer night in 2014, the pair went missing. A few hours later, the girls were found hanging in a mango orchard. The investigation into their murders started a national soul-searching about violence against women in India. At first, the girls' families refused to let the bodies be cut down and demanded an investigation. But what happened? Was it murder, suicide, or an honor killing?

Listen, I'm on a Walmart kick and y'all should be too. Don't forget the roundup with even more finds. 

All credit goes to this TikTok and TIBAL for this recommendation. At less than $10, this seems like a no-brainer. 

I ordered this and it's either going to look super cool or super strange - I'm confident that there will be absolutely no middle ground.

I just snagged these from Target and I have HIGH HOPES. They have quite a few options including these blue light filtering cuties. I added these and lots more for my boys to the roundup.

100% not responsible if you poop yourself but hopefully you just sleep better.

"Daring and audacious, she bedded Picasso — among others — and hunted wild boar with Winston Churchill, who in a letter to his wife said, “she is very agreeable — really a great, strong being, fit to rule a man and an empire.” A savvy businesswoman, she blazed her name across her shopping bags decades before it was a thing for designers to do. But as I continued my research, my impression of her began to change."

A combo of charm school, sorority house, and dorm, the Manhattan landmark was the ultimate room of one’s own for many famous women, as this new book details.

We can all use a little less stress and magnesium might be able to help. Here's a highly recommended option but, again, I am obviously not a doctor and therefore not responsible if you poop yourself.

In her podcast 'Under the Influence,' Jo Piazza dives deep into women who monetize motherhood on social media. 

It me. I'm Collin. Shockingly, I hate talking about myself but here are the CliffsNotes. 32, Texan turned cruise ship character turned Texan turned Chicagoan turned Texan. Event designer and planner. Interior designer and stylist. Corporate badass. Spotify playlist-makin' fiend. Partner and double dog dad. Cursed with an aggressive gluten intolerance but also a passion for bread and no f*cks to give. Why a newsletter? It gives me a creative outlet with a deadline and my therapist says these things are important. Plus, I love to read, shop, share, and most importantly spend time on the internet. I don't sleep.
