The Daily Parker

As I'm trying to decide which books to take with me to Germany, my regular news sources have also given me a few things to put in my reading list:

• Jamelle Bouie points out that the XPOTUS "owns Dobbs and everything that comes with it."
• A group of app users have sued the company that owns Tinder and Hinge for predatory business practices.
• Tyler Austin Harper reviews Molly Roden Winter's memoir about polyamorous life, and concludes polyamory "is the result of a long-gestating obsession with authenticity and individual self-fulfillment."
• Northern Ireland's Lough Neagh, the UK's largest lake, appears to have fallen into a catastrophic ecological collapse.
• Strong Towns reminds us that you have to maintain roads after you build them, which turns out to cost more over time than their initial construction.
• The health risks of cannabis depend more on how you use the drug than the form in which you ingest it.

Finally, the North Atlantic has near-record jet streams again this week, approaching 360 km/h, and shaving 45 minutes off the DC–London route. I would love that to happen Wednesday.
