The pros and cons of Lorelai Gilmore’s parenting style, and whether or not it’s a good model for moms in the real world. Forget Lorelai, though, let’s debate who Rory’s best father figure was? Max! It’s Max! If Max was able to stay in Rory’s life, even as an overinvested teacher, I bet she never drops out of Yale.

Cillian Murphy is promoting Small Things Like These and talking about life in Ireland in the 1980s. I loved my time there, but I was also there in 2023. It’s a very different place now, that’s Cillian’s whole point. (Celebitchy)

Five stories for Indigenous History month, including the preservation of the Ojibwe pony, primarily carried out by Canadian breeders, sustainable forestry visible from space, and snow sculpting women. (Atlas Obscura)

Martha appreciation week continues! Yesterday it was Christmas, today it’s Entertaining! I’m almost tempted to get Cakes down and see if I’m inspired to throw a party. (Eater)
