Watching

‘Mother!’: What You Should Read After Watching Darren Aronofsky’s Polarizing Film

Love it or hate it, it’s got people talking.

I like to leave religion outside.

Opinion

The Wreckage of Anthony Weiner

The former congressman’s imprisonment for sexting with a teenager is his final disgrace. But the damage he caused lives on.

I hope he makes something of himself.

Magazine

All Signs Pointed to a Stroke. Then the Tests Come Back Negative.

When, at 94, she suddenly found it difficult to speak and swallow, the doctors had to explore more unusual possibilities.

Myasthenia gravis is bad enough.

Well

The Overmonitored Nursery

As a new mom, it finally dawned on me that all this technology meant to calm agitated parents actually agitates us more.

Sell the stuff on e-bay to people who want it.
It will be inflicted on new mothers by people who do not read the Times.

Food

Cooking With Meera Sodha

Make the British cookbook writer’s terrific (and terrifically simple) recipes for roasted broccoli with cardamom or Sri Lankan dal with coconut and lime.

Pizza by the slice this evening.

I have out of step for cooking for a few weeks.

N.Y. / Region

Rough Waters Darken a Sunny Weekend at the Shore

Unseasonably warm temperatures brought crowds to New York and New Jersey beaches over the weekend, but the surf became deadly in some areas.

It is hurricain season.
Maria has lost enough to be a tropical storm.

Books

The 21st-Century Fantasy Trilogy That Changed the Game

The first two novels in N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy both won Hugo awards. In the final volume, “The Stone Sky,” the fate of the world is at stake.

Nebula and Hugo winners are usually worth reading.
This review does not make these appeal to me.

I could reread J. K. Rowling.

Travel

A Visit to Italian Villages That Inspired the Term ‘Riviera’

Liguria is a place of unvarnished beauty, where the draw is the simplicity of its timeless way of life.

As convenient.

The Learning Network

What is Your Reaction to President Trump’s Tweets About Professional Sports Leagues and Athletes?

Do you think it is possible for positive change to result from this situation?

Donald Trump should stand down.

Theater

Review: In ‘Mary Jane,’ a Young Mother Faces Her Worst Fears

A child’s illness raises existential questions in Amy Herzog’s heartbreaking new play, starring Carrie Coon, at New York Theater Workshop.

I probably should see the play.

I will not take myself.
