Daily Edition • February 7, 2026 SUPPORTED BY If your to-be-read list sometimes feels more like a mandate to be fulfilled than an opportunity to learn and consume art, a reading journal might be up your alley.

Wedding trends for 2026
Daily Edition • February 5, 2026 SUPPORTED BY Some may say New York City’s streets make up one big stage, and no one is better proof of that than Ari Miller. Better known online as ARIatHOME, the one-man traveling act takes his keyboard and mic outside and invites those around him to perform — “The ethos of it is anyone that wants to get on the mic is allowed to and is able to,” he recently told ABC News. As you might imagine, the result is a little bit of Big Apple magic. Watch his work in...
