요새 맥주 한 캔만 마셔도 다음 날 몸이 엉망이다, 왜 이래?
요즘은 주변에 아무도 술을 마시지 않는 것처럼 느껴진다. 덩달아 나도 술을 마시는 일이 적어진다. 갈수록 떨어지는 자신의 알코올 내성을 살펴보고, 이것이 더 큰 문화적 변화의 신호인지 알아봤다. 어릴 때 나는 술을 어른이 되면 누릴 수 있는 특권 중 하나라고 생각했다. 물론 과음은 좋지 않겠지만, 퇴근 후와 주말에 한두 잔 마시는 것은 최고의 여가 활동이었다. 무엇보다 술은 신체적으로 긴장을 풀어주는 물질이지 않은가. 늘 긴장한 채 살아가던 어린 나에게는 꽤 매력적인 이야기였다. 시간이 흘러 실제로 어른이 됐다. 나는 이제 36세의 남편이자 아버지다. 여가 시간 대부분은 두 살배기 아들을 쫓아다니며 보낸다. 아들은 보통 사람보다 두 배 빠른 속도로 움직이고, 나에게 이것저것 시키는 것을 무척 좋아한다. “아빠, 강아지 포키 읽어줘!” 오해하지 말길 바란다. 나는 아빠로 사는 것이 좋다. 하지만 휴식은 너무나 귀한 것이 됐다. 그래서 예전에 생각했던 술의 매력이 오히려 더 커졌다.
Why does drinking even one beer make me feel awful now?
Growing up, I always considered alcohol to be part of the promise of adulthood. Sure, you could drink too much, and that was bad, but for the unafflicted, a drink or two on the weekend represented the apex of recreation. After all: This was a substance that physiologically relaxed you. For a kid as tightly wound as I was, that sounded pretty good. Fast forward to said adulthood. I'm a 36-year-old husband and father.

Why Does Drinking Even One Beer Make Me Feel Awful Now?
Growing up, I always considered alcohol to be part of the promise of adulthood. Sure, you could drink too much, and that was bad, but for the unafflicted, a drink or two on the weekend represented the apex of recreation. After all: This was a substance that physiologically relaxed you. For a kid as tightly wound as I was, that sounded pretty good. Fast forward to said adulthood. I’m a 36-year-old husband and father.
Can Chess Help Kids Improve Their Attention Spans?
Illustration: Cristina Daura for Bloomberg October 9, 2026 at 7:30 AM UTC At 9:45 p.m. on a Monday night in July, I found myself sitting across a folding plastic table from a 12-year-old in the auditorium of a Masonic lodge in San Marino, California.
요즘 애들은 포경 수술 안 한다, 진짜 괜찮을까?
약 100년 만에 처음으로 갓 태어난 아들에게 포경수술을 시키는 미국 부모의 비율이 절반 아래로 떨어졌다. 초보 아빠 케빈 링컨은 미국인이 가장 선호하던 선택적 수술이 어떻게 아동 백신만큼 논쟁적인 문제가 되었는지 살펴보고, 자신이 내린 선택을 되돌아본다. 2024년 7월, 동이 트기 전 어둠에 잠긴 남부 캘리포니아의 한 출산 센터에서 아들이 비명을 지르는 깜짝 상자 인형처럼 아내의 다리 사이로 튀어나왔다. 갓 세상에 도착한 아이는 승리의 몸짓처럼 두 팔을 활짝 펼쳤다. 아이를 건네받은 나는 신생아만이 지닌 온갖 기묘한 특징을 바라봤다. 레드 게토레이 같은 색의 피가 선명히 묻은 탯줄, 택시를 잘못 타 엉뚱한 동네에 내린 외계인처럼 어리둥절한 눈, 그리고 나와 달리 신비롭고도 논쟁적인 피부 주름에 싸여 있는 성기까지. 부모가 되면 많은 것이 달라지지만, 가장 근본적인 변화 중 하나는 어느 순간부터 다른 사람을 대신해 결정을 내려야 한다는 사실이다.
La controversia de la circuncisión en EE. UU: por qué los padres están cambiando de opinión
Circuncisión: ¿Cortar o no cortar?, vía GQ.com. Una versión de este reportaje apareció originalmente en el número de septiembre de 2026 de GQ con el título “¿Cortar o no Cortar?”. Un día de julio de 2024, en un centro de maternidad del sur de California, justo al romper el alba, mi hijo salió disparado de la entrepierna de mi mujer, como el muñeco de una caja sorpresa, gritando a pleno pulmón. Recién llegado al mundo, abrió los brazos en cruz en un gesto triunfal.
I Didn’t Circumcise My Son. Did I Make the Right Choice?
In the predawn darkness of a Southern California birth center in July 2024, my son erupted from between my wife’s legs like a screaming jack-in-the-box.

U rujnu 2022. godine norveški šahovski velemajstor Magnus Carlsen iznenada je odustao od velikog turnira nakon poraza od mladog američkog velemajstora Hansa Niemanna. Kada su se ponovno sastali, na online turniru dva tjedna kasnije, Carlsen je predao partiju nakon samo jednog poteza.

Скандалот со мамење го направи шахот совршен за Холивуд
Во септември 2022 година норвешкиот велемајстор Магнус Карлсен ненадејно се повлече од голем турнир откако загуби од младиот американски велемајстор Ханс Ниман. Кога се сретнаа повторно, на онлајн турнир две недели подоцна, Карлсен се предаде по само еден потег. Карлсен го обвини Ниман за мамење, најпрво индиректно, а потоа и експлицитно во изјави на Х.

역사 속 남자들은 자기성찰의 시간을 가지지 않았다, 현대의 나는?
마크 안드레센과 데이나 화이트 같은 해외 유명 남성들은 지난 날을 회고하며 자아 성찰하는 일은외 시간 낭비라고 말한다. 하지만 연구와 역사는 정반대를 이야기한다. 남자들은 어떻게 해야 할까? Backgrid 서구 문화 거의 모든 영역의 기반 중 하나라 할 수 있는 플라톤의 ‘소크라테스의 변명’에는, 소크라테스가 젊은이들을 타락시키고 잘못된 신을 숭배했다는 혐의로 재판받던 기원전 399년 법정에서 자신을 변호하며 했던 연설이 담겨 있다. 굉장한 연설이지만, 그중에서도 가장 유명한 대목 중 하나는 마지막 부분이다. “누군가는 이렇게 말할지도 모른다. ‘소크라테스여, 우리를 떠난다면 말하지 않고 조용히 살 수는 있는가?’ 그런데 바로 이 점이 여러분 일부를 설득하기 가장 어려운 부분이다. 만약 내가 ‘침묵하는 것은 신의 뜻을 거스르는 일이기에 불가능하다’고 말한다면 여러분은 내가 비꼬고 있다고 생각할 것이다.

What Exactly Do These Men Have Against Introspection?
In The Apology of Socrates, one of the cornerstones of basically every aspect of Western culture, Plato recounts the speech that Socrates gave in defense of himself at his trial for corrupting the youth and worshipping the wrong gods, which took place in 399 BC. It’s a banger of a speech, but one of the most noteworthy passages comes toward the end: “Perhaps someone might say: But Socrates, if you leave us will you not be able to live quietly, without talking?
Што имаат заедничко Стивен Кинг и Шекспир? А Боб Дилан и Моцарт?
Кога би го прашале просечниот обожавател на прочуениот мајстор на хоророт Стивен Кинг колку години имал кога првпат се сретнал со негово дело, би бил спремен да се обложам дека одговорот би бил некаде меѓу 12 и 17 години. Токму годините во основно и средно училиште се периодот кога површинскиот слој на привлечноста на делата на Кинг — возбудата, стравот и многу секс — делува најсилно.
Što Stephen King i Shakespeare imaju zajedničko? Kao i Bob Dylan i Mozart?
Kad biste prosječnog fana slavnog majstora horora Stephena Kinga pitali koliko je imao godina kada se prvi put susreo s njegovim djelom, bio bih spreman kladiti se da bi odgovor bio negdje između 12 i 17 godina. Upravo su godine osnovne i srednje škole razdoblje kada površinski sloj privlačnosti Kingova rada – uzbuđenje, strah i puno seksa – djeluje najjače.
Kaj imata skupnega Stephen King in Shakespeare? Bob Dylan in Mozart?
Če bi povprečnega oboževalca slovitega mojstra grozljivke Stephena Kinga vprašali, pri katerih letih je prvič vzel v roke katero od njegovih knjig, bi si upal staviti, da bi večina odgovorila: nekje med 12. in 17. letom. Ravno v letih osnovne in srednje šole namreč najmočneje učinkuje tisto, kar pri Kingu najprej pritegne: napetost, strah, šok in precejšnja mera seksualnosti. Tudi tisti, ki Kinga pozneje v odraslosti niso več brali, pogosto s seboj odnesejo podobe, ki jih ne pozabijo zlahka.
Sự giống nhau giữa Stephen King và Shakespeare là gì?
Nếu hỏi một độc giả trung thành của Stephen King họ bao nhiêu tuổi khi lần đầu biết đến “ông hoàng kinh dị”, câu trả lời thường rơi vào khoảng từ 12 đến 17. Những năm học trung học là lúc sức hút trực diện trong tác phẩm của King thể hiện rõ nhất. Cảm giác hồi hộp, rùng rợn và cả yếu tố tình dục xuất hiện mạnh mẽ. Dù sau này họ có tiếp tục đọc ông hay không, những chi tiết đặc trưng của King vẫn bám theo.

On Chess Clubs and Wildfires
On the night of Tuesday, January 7, I was supposed to play in the opening round of the San Gabriel Valley Chess Club’s New Year Swiss at the Altadena Community Church. Less than 24 hours later, that church had burned to the ground. I’ve lived in Los Angeles since 2013, and my heart goes out to all of the people whose lives have been turned upside-down by this cataclysm.
What Do You Do When You Don't Know What to Do?
Another week at the chess club, another showdown with a kid. But before we get into that, a quick housekeeping note: I’m going to try something a little different this week. I’ve done the deeper chess analysis as a video.
Good Moves: a newsletter
An introduction to this newsletter. On Tuesday evening, I left my wife and four-month-old baby at home and drove half an hour to a church in Altadena, where I spent the next two-and-a-half hours sitting in silence across a folding table from a 12-year-old. Is this a normal thing to do? No! But did I have a good reason for doing it? I… think so? I was playing chess. “Chess?” you might say, head tilted in recognition. “Don’t people just do that on their phones?” Yes, they do.
Sgt. Kevin Lincoln: Independence Day is a time for reflection and gratitude
As Americans, we traditionally celebrate Independence Day with barbecues, a fireworks show, and a moment of reflection on the legacy created by our Founding Fathers 248 years ago. However, Independence Day is more than just a day off or a festive gathering; it is a time to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy, which have come at a great price, and to reaffirm our commitment to preserving those freedoms.

50 Greatest Comedies of the 21st Century
What’s so funny? ? If you’re talking about screen comedy in the 21st century, the answer is easy: bumbling manchildren, the more boorish and clueless and stuck in their stunted adolescence, the better. Talking foxes, Huey Lewis-loving serial killers, world-saving marionettes, foulmouthed political fixers and boisterous bridesmaids — all great as well. German father-daughter duos and goofy stoners? Bring ’em on! Headbanging teachers and backstabbing bureaucrats? Yes, we’ll take them too.

How Eric Yuan Connected the World
Sure enough, Zoom emerged from this gestation period with a product that reflected the hard work that had been poured into it. "One of the terms we used in our investment memo was, 'It just works,'" says Carl Eschenbach, a partner at Sequoia, who years later co-led the investment in Zoom.
How Figma's Dylan Field Won Over the Haters
When Dylan Field was five years old, he got really into acting. Field won his first role in a local play because, he says, he had two very valuable skills-"I could sit quietly, and I could read"-but he was soon successful enough that he had agents in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, and he was booking commercial and TV work in addition to theater.
Finneas Has Made Hits for Justin Bieber, Kid Cudi, and (of Course) Billie Eilish. Now He's Going His Own Way
Before Finneas O’Connell was selling out the Wiltern, he was, like many LA kids, a regular concertgoer there. He saw Arctic Monkeys during their A.M. tour and Ed Sheeran before he became Ed Sheeran—back when he was “kind of a pure singer-songwriter,” as Finneas puts it. “Very Damien Rice-esque.” Now, at 24, Finneas is releasing his debut album Optimist, and one of the first shows he’s playing in honor of its release is a sold-out show at the Wiltern. Big deal, right?

Actually, the Best 2020 Conor Oberst Album Is 2016's 'Ruminations'
Conor Oberst’s 2016 album Ruminations opens with a song called “Tachycardia”—the word refers to a too-fast heartbeat, and the song itself starts with five ringing C major chords played on the piano. As the rest of Ruminations drunkenly spills forth, carried only by a piano or guitar, Oberst’s ragged, cigarette-streaked voice, and a harmonica that does the yelling when the singer needs a break, it’s hard not to keep thinking back to those five C chords.

D'Angelo Russell Is Exactly Where He Wants to Be
Last year, D’Angelo Russell had one of those seasons NBA players make vision boards about. In his fourth year in the league, Russell made the proverbial leap, leading his Brooklyn Nets to the playoffs, making his first All-Star appearance along the way. Such runaway success had the added benefit of making the Los Angeles Lakers take a long, mopey look in the mirror: L.A. drafted the point guard second overall out of Ohio State in 2015, then shipped him out of town after just two seasons.
A Risky Formula Pays Off for Horror Film ‘Ma’
Putting an Academy Award winner in a $5 million horror movie made by the director of “The Help” is a risky formula. But thus far, it is paying off at the box office for producer Blumhouse and distributor Universal Pictures. Their movie, “Ma,” placed fourth last weekend, earning more than $18 million and exceeding the expectations of the studio and industry tracker Box Office Mojo. Both had anticipated a debut in the mid-teens.

In “The Current War,” Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Shannon face off as Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse in the race to electrify America. The movie, which will be released in October, faced its own hurdles, including a scrapped first cut, reshoots and the Weinstein Co. meltdown. When Timur Bekmambetov, who produced “The Current War,” bought the script in 2012, he saw relevance to today’s world, in which the wonder and peril of technology go hand in hand.
