I very much wanted to visit Champagne. We even took our drinks to the playroom where my daughter crafted an elaborate imaginary adventure with a stuffed giraffe. The Champagne houses were also kid-friendlyI was equally delighted when booking our visits to the Champagne houses. At Champagne Ayala, a winery in village Aÿ, my daughter played tour guide with our actual tour guide. We visited a small grower Champagne house, a word for wineries run by those who own the vineyards.

PARIS — It’s 1:00 a.m. on the banks of the Canal de Saint-Denis and the 2024 Paris Olympics closing ceremony finished an hour ago.

The French president could easily have been giving his view on France’s immediate political future when discussing the rain-drenched opening ceremony with NBC News. Optimism aside, analysts believe the country faces years of deadlock that could end with a far-right president in 2027.

PARIS — Everywhere you looked at the 2024 Paris Games, Americans dominated. On the final day of the Games, China is leading Team USA in the medal table, with 39 golds to America’s 38. Its two golds here included the 4x100-meter medley, the first time in Olympic history that anyone had beaten the U.S. Though Russia, a longtime dominant force in the sport, was excluded from these Games, China still achieved a score that far outstripped any competitors.

When Lady Gaga released “Born This Way,” the 2011 song on an album of the same name, it was an instant hit and an instant L.G.B.T.Q. “Born this way” may, unfortunately, have been an oversimplification. Just last year, Rolling Stone crowned “Born This Way” the most inspirational L.G.B.T.Q. “Born this way,” as both a scientific concept and a political ideology, was easy to understand, accept and digest.

CNN —Two suits, two women, one message: “Hotties for Harris.” At least that was the phrase scrawled across banners at Kamala Harris’ campaign rally in Atlanta Tuesday night. Minutes later, Harris walked onto her podium to rapturous applause — also in a blue pantsuit. From being endorsed by Charli XCX and co-opting the album of the summer, “Brat,” to capitalizing on the 32.3 million-strong fandom of Megan Thee Stallion, her advisors have been honing in on the 18-27 demographic. Kamala Harris' icy blue suit seemed twinned in a way with Megan's cropped version. It’s hard to picture Clinton signing off on a decision to have Megan Thee Stallion “shake cheeks,” as one fan on Instagram wrote, in a cropped suit at a rally.

In his first letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul issues one of Christianity’s better-known if lesser-observed dictates: It’s best to remain unmarried, full stop. But, he continues, if people “cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.”The message was clear: Celibacy is best; marriage is a concession. But as the centuries progressed this hierarchy collapsed, first in Christianity and then in the broader secular world. Yet celibacy — by which I mean deliberately going without sex — persistently returns to the public conversation. Much of the current vogue for celibacy is not driven by a desire to discipline the flesh but by disgust with the digital-age dating scene.
