Finished reading: THREE YEARS IN MISSISSIPPI by James Meredith goodreads.com/book/show/4000…
A new novel by best-selling author Dave Eggers tells the story of two art-obsessed friends over many decades. "Contrapposto" centers on a young, would-be artist in the Midwest named Cricket, his childhood friend and love interest, Olympia, and their adventures together and apart in the art world over decades. Senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown has more on the novel and the author's own story for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
For the first time in 20 years, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a new sunscreen ingredient — bemotrizinol, or BEMT — that experts say is a safer option than many chemical ingredients currently in use in the United States. cnn.com/2026/06/09/hea…

The same characteristics that sustained former President Joe Biden's decadeslong political career despite personal tragedies and political setbacks also prevented him from stepping away, Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian and bestselling author Jon Meacham says. "I don't think President Biden was clinging to power because he wanted an airplane or because he loved power so much. It was a result of his resilience, his determination to keep moving no matter what, and not ever surrendering," he said on the PBS News podcast "Settle In." "The characteristics that propelled him to the pinnacle of power prevented him from doing what he needed to do to step away from it." Meacham spoke to co-anchor Amna Nawaz about Biden's legacy, the difference between hope and optimism for this country and his latest book, "American Struggle."

Fellow Mississippian here — and this resonates deeply with me. The assumption that MS lacks intellectual curiosity, diversity of thought, or literary culture is frustrating and unfair. Many of us care deeply about books, ideas, community, & thoughtful dialogue.
“The assumption that that there’s no diversity of opinion in the state [of Mississippi], that books don’t matter, that we’re all insular and backward-looking irks the hell out of me.” An illuminating conversation with my dear friend Steve Yarbrough. open.substack.com/pub/rooted/p/m…
