The Friday wrap-up

02/21/25

• These vintage Canadian Pacific railway posters are so good.

• This week, the New Yorker observed its 100th anniversary—an amazing feat for a print publication in the year 2025. Their current issue includes a previously unpublished poem by Robert Frost, as well as reexaminations of iconic pieces, like Jia Tolentino’s look at Joan Didion’s 2000 profile of Martha Stewart. Also, did you know that the New Yorker was launched as a humor magazine? I certainly did not.

• A very juicy and insidery look at the business of celebrity book clubs.
