- In his new Netflix standup special, @ericandre makes the case that drugs and sex work should be legalized. And he tells @wprBETA he just might run for president to make it happen. Or at least buy his own island.

- Dogsledders @BlairBraverman and @QuinceMountain have built a life in Wisconsin's Northwoods, where they train teams of dogs to race. For the husband-and-wife team, it’s about the mushing, but also the profound dog-human connection, from @TTBOOK bit.ly/3HsSXcz
