Arguably the most important multipurpose tool you can find in a kitchen, it’s the chef’s main weapon—it can slice, dice, and chop ingredients with speed and precision.…
So, you’ve got the plane routine down. (Or not: My colleague Nena Farrell says, “I get on the plane ugly, get off the plane ugly, and do my makeup routine in the airport bathroom”—a practice shared by many of our colleagues, including myself.)

Meredith D. Clark, a professor of race and political communication at UNC-Chapel Hill, tells WIRED that museums are akin to “public trusts,” and the Trump administration’s assault on them is an attempt to dictate who does and doesn’t belong. “One of the things that power needs to do in order to expand and conquer is…
