The ♻️ is everywhere, even on things that aren't recyclable. This #earthday, @HirokoTabuchi and I set out to understand how recycling became so confusing--and the steps we can take to fix it. But first, test your own knowledge with our recycling game! nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

"Most days, it’s difficult for me to consider my course through the world. But walking in a cemetery, I’m humbled to read the incomplete markers left for those who’ve already made the trip." The comfort and wisdom in the eerie poetry of gravestones. nyti.ms/3y54Z8U

Twenty-three dead whales have washed ashore along the U.S. East Coast since early December, including 12 in New Jersey and New York, officials say. Factors including climate change and online shopping appear to be at least partially to blame. nyti.ms/3ZoAIOb

Today on the Daily, I got to discuss our investigation into nonprofit hospital w/the great ⁦@stavernise⁩. We talked about how one chain teamed up with ⁦@McKinsey⁩ to wring money from poor patients, and much more. nytimes.com/series/profits-o… podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

It is no exaggeration to say I owe my career to @BEBumsted — and I'm far from the only one who can say that. On top of being a stellar reporter, he's as genuinely good a person as you could hope to meet. Congratulations, Brad. And thank you.

Hello twitter, I want to talk today about the state of the press relations in the United States. You may or may not know, but it is increasingly rare for your local journalist to be able to simply call an official to ask questions.

"Although no one is prohibiting people from repairing clothing, the lack of quality in modern fashion means it’s important to be thoughtful about what you’re buying and how you’re taking care of what you already own." Read more from @IzzieRamirez: trib.al/qcZE9iV

If you've tossed plastic Amazon shipping envelopes into the recycling bin, there's a chance it might end up in a dump site in India and being burned in an industrial furnace. I followed the 7,000 mile journey of America's plastic waste to India. bloomberg.com/features/2022-…

🚨 NEW: NYU Langone's emergency room has been secretly allowing the rich, even those with minor complaints, to jump ahead of everyone else. Meanwhile, the poor sometimes struggle to be seen. @sarahkliff and I dug into this two-tiered system of care. nytimes.com/2022/12/22/healt…

Goddamnit. SOMEBODY HIRE @KendraWrites! How to Save a Planet was a great podcast. This is a bad move by Spotify — shortsighted and dumb and wrong.
