Five things we’re reading this weekend
Welcome to the latest installment of a new weekly series where we point you to what we’ve found fascinating, amazing, entertaining, and interesting all for your reading (or listening) enjoyment this weekend.
To understand ISIS’s weaknesses, understand what ISIS wants: In March, an Atlantic cover story went deep on ISIS, tracing their ideology and the impact it has on their strategy. Graeme Wood’s piece is especially prescient, light of the recent attacks on Paris. [The Atlantic] –Dan Fogarty
Tell your kids the truth about Paris: The Paris attacks have been splashed across television screens for over a week, and parents are once again finding themselves forced to explain the inexplicable to children so young they’re learning about terrorism while still believing in Santa Claus. How should parents approach the issue? [The Week] –Hilary Sargent
Tom Brady talks to Chuck Klosterman about Deflategate (sort of): After getting selected as one of GQ’s “Men of the Year,’’ Tom Brady interviewed with Chuck Klosterman, who probed the Patriots quarterback about Deflategate. It didn’t go well. [GQ] –Henry McKenna
How did he do it? William Cheng explains how he meticulously recreated The Boston Globe newsroom in the recently released Spotlight movie. [Slate] –Kristin Toussaint
Pondering the next Pope: There’s no reason to believe Pope Francis’s papacy is ending anytime soon, but the almost 79-year-old is known for surprises. And he has said he approves of Pope Benedict XVI’s decision to resign. Is it time to start thinking about what could be next for the Catholic Church? [Crux] –Meagan McGinnes
