Almost a year ago, I wrote a story for @SmithsonianMag about cookies called Ma’amoul—I wanted to share it again for Eid. It was such an honor to write about a tradition that’s very dear to me (and share my family’s recipe). Eid Mubarak!

[Smithsonian Magazine @SmithsonianMag]

Ma’amoul is a traditional Middle Eastern cookie often enjoyed around Muslim, Christian and Jewish holidays, made by combining semolina flour with butter and milk, forming it into a dough, and filling it with nuts or dates. https://t.co/gVFGOmeByw

I came here tonight because when you realize you want to watch the Rob Reiner double feature in Millenium Park, you want the Rob Reiner double feature to start as soon as possible.

I first played the Great Ace Attorney exactly four years ago, the summer before starting college. If you told me then that I’d get to write a very fun article about it, I’d ignore you because I was locked in on a summation examination. https://t.co/hru2KTFVTn

While gun violence in Chicago is reduced in certain areas, it still remains a problem — particularly in communities of color. These groups are working to change that.

Catchy opening! But the comma splice is unwieldy. Why dont you try "It was not just the best of times. It was also the worst of times."

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout.

On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar.

This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

The Sopwith Camel was challenging to fly but also successful in downing enemy planes, and it went on to gain pop-culture fame thanks to the beloved “Peanuts” beagle. https://t.co/wUQUm6bUP2
