Good morning —

Today's puzzle weaves together threads from the worlds of culture, public health, technology, and governance—a reminder that the news touches everything from our phones to our bodies to the screens we watch. It's a gentle sort of reckoning with the moment, the kind that takes just a few minutes and leaves you feeling more tethered to what's happening than scrolling ever does. Take your time with it, and maybe pour another cup of coffee while you're at it.
