April 28, 2025 Daily Edition: Is Your Snack Secretly Killing You? View on the web → Good Monday morning! I’ve always loved shortcuts.

Every bite of your midnight snack or ready-made meal bumps up your risk of early death. We’ll unpack that alarming research in today’s issue, along with a chilling...

April 26, 2025 Weekend Edition: Hello, Human? View on the web → Good morning and welcome to your weekend. After a week full of missiles in Kyiv, a crypto heist worthy of a Netflix documentary, and the latest twist in the George Santos saga, I think we could all use a break from outrage-driven social media. That's why we're going back to a simpler era today—when a university help desk was humanity's own Google, answering questions like, “What is watercress?” or “Who is the most famous person...

April 25, 2025 Daily Edition: Catch Me If You Crypto View on the web → Happy Friday, Core Readers! Some stories start online and stay there. Today’s didn’t. Here’s what actually mattered today: A peace deal pushed with tweets, a generation losing its grip on truth, and a crypto heist planned in Minecraft chatrooms ended with Lamborghinis and duct tape. Somewhere between the algorithms, the conspiracies, and the dollar signs, the lines between fiction and reality blurred — and then vanished. I...

April 24, 2025 Daily Edition: The Art of the Walk-Back View on the web → Good morning, curious minds! There’s a quiet kind of shift happening. You won’t see it on trending lists or hear it shouted on the news. But if you look closely, something’s moving: Scientists are quietly packing their lives into shipping boxes. Tariffs quietly coming down after months of thunder. It’s not always the big headlines that change things — sometimes the quiet pivots tell you where we’re headed. We followed...

April 23, 2025 Daily Edition: The Stories That Stayed With Us View on the web → Good morning, core readers! Some nights I wake up feeling like a machine—scroll, read, skim, forget.But not today. Because today’s stories didn’t just pass through me. They held on. A teen says social media is making him miserable, but he logs in anyway.A woman folding robes like origami while billionaires complain about wine temperatures.And a meadow, meant for joy, echoing with screams. Some days, news isn’t...

April 22, 2025 Daily Edition: Time for Payment View on the web → Good morning, Core readers! This one came together with a little too much coffee and not enough time. But the fun is in the journey, right? Writing to you each morning feels a bit like building a ship while it’s already at sea — equal parts chaos and joy. Before we jump in, a special note: let's celebrate our brand-new evening newsletter, Watch World — and its first editor's letter went out this morning. If you're into watches,...

April 21, 2025 Daily Edition: Francis, Gone View on the web → Good Monday morning, Core readers! It feels heavier than usual this morning. I'd almost finished writing a different lead story when the alert came through— and suddenly, everything shifted. Today's newsletters will report that Pope Francis surprised the crowd on Easter Sunday, but I'm here to tell you something else: he's gone. Unexpectedly. Quietly. And sooner than anyone expected. Today, we look back at a pope who challenged...

April 19, 2025 Weekend Edition: Where the Trillions Go? View on the web → Good morning, Core crew! If things look a little different today, that’s because they are. After many late nights, excessive caffeine consumption, and more layout versions than I'd like to admit, our new design is here. It’s still The Core — just sharper, faster, and (hopefully) a bit easier on the eyes. There’s more on the way, too. (I'll tease that below.) As always, this project grows with your feedback, your...
