What’s the secret to F1’s success with the girlies?
F1's under-35 and female audiences have grown by over 50% in the last five years. At the Las Vegas Grand Prix, I understood why.

SO excited for this one. One of the things we say a lot in Vox culture is that pop culture is America's subconscious. So a few months ago, I pitched a question: 25 years into the 21st century, can we use 25 pieces of pop culture to explain where we are? www.vox.com/culture/4226...
The 25 pieces of culture that explain the last 25 years
From Lord of the Rings to the ramen craze to Ozempic, the cultural touchstones that help us understand the 21st century.

They're trying to criminalize dissent. This is important.
The DOJ charged Representative LaMonica McIver with assault after she visited an immigrant-detention facility. “Interpreting this as anything other than an attempt to punish criticism and intimidate Democrats is difficult,” @dgraham.bsky.social writes.
Trump’s Newest Crackdown on Dissent
Assault charges against a Democratic member of Congress look more like intimidation than law enforcement.

got to edit two of my favorite pieces on Vox dot com in a single week!! first up, @constancegrady.bsky.social on how our fretting about men’s reading habits (it’s me, I’ve fretted) is built on one old and/or faulty stat (and why we remain convinced it's a problem) www.vox.com/culture/3929...

One of the most interesting things about Oz is that while most of the children's fantasy classics of the anglophone world are English, Oz is an American fairyland. That means it becomes a weirdly effective metaphor for American politics. www.vox.com/culture/3885...
