A roundup of five things I found interesting in the past week

• In his inaugural Substack piece, Seymour Hersh outlines the case for the US taking out the Nord Stream pipeline. Plausible, really.

• Jeremy Wallace writes a great piece on the carbon triangle.

• One might think Hersh’s piece or the disastrous quake in Anatolia dominated the past week’s headlines, but in certain corners of the internet it was all about Hogwarts Legacy. Nostalgia is powerful when it collides with zeitgeist concerns on sex and gender.

• And regarding the zeitgeist mentioned above, the first of more whistleblowers?

• Sommeliers, but for honey. Yum.
