Listen: First Aid Kit. It’s only been a few months since a friend introduced me to this Swedish duo, and I can’t get enough of them. Their vibe is folksy/indie/pop, and they are simply superb. My favorite song is Angel, but they are all bangers. – Gabrielle
Read: ”Looking for Trouble,” by Virginia Cowles. Looking for a memoir about an intrepid gossip writer-turned-war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War and World War II? Perhaps the two career paths shouldn't blend, but when they did, they created a journalist who knew how to be in the right room at the right time. She merged keen political analysis with an eye for human detail and got a revealing conversation out of every major European leader of the time. The writing is vivid and will make you feel like you are back in 1937 with her watching the rise of fascism and Europe slumbering into World War II. – Riley

Also, Riley notes that even without the bat video, the suggestion to simply “hang upside down” feels worthy for a Wednesday. Double up by hanging upside down while watching the bat video. -AlexMore For You

The US has paused Russian oil sanctions in a bid to stabilize energy markets rocked by the war with Iran. Administration officials stress that it’s a “tailored” measure, applying only to oil already loaded onto tankers, but it’s still a gift to Russia, which has already been clocking an extra $150 million daily in oil revenues since the war began.
