Welcome to year 43 of ADHD. I am a middle-aged man with a neurodevelopmental disorder for which I take medication to get through the day. I’m embarrassed to admit this, even though some people show off their ADHD like a guy making sure you notice the Cartier Tank on his wrist. Look at Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube and you’ll find glib confessionals about life with ADHD, testimonials on how to be productive, and claims of “cures” through diet and exercise. All of these attract hundreds if not thousands of likes. Call it the memeification of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. |

Long before the legendary novelist Gabriel García Márquez died in 2014, he’d spent years working on a novella calledUntil August. A decade earlier, after finishing a fifth draft, he confided to his longtime assistant Mónica Alonso, “Sometimes books need to be left to rest.” Enter Cristóbal Pera, who had a long professional association with García Márquez (affectionately known as Gabo), having edited the author’s memoir,Living to Tell the Tale, and a collection of public speeches,I’m Not Here to Give a Speech. In 2010, Pera was summoned to help Gabo (who by this time suffered from dementia) with the unfinished novella still in need of an ending. The novella, published this week by Knopf, remained unfinished in García Márquez’s lifetime, with the famed author telling his sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo Garcia Barcha, “This book doesn’t work. It must be destroyed.” And yet now, almost ten years after their father’s death, Until August arrives to the public, rekindling questions both ethical and aesthetic about posthumous publications. |

This is an unheard-of deal. |
| And once the secret's out, it's probably going to sell out. |

In the foul vicinity of the former president*, there's been what old headline writers would call a "flurry of activity." He spent the weekend performing a splenectomy on the English language, while simultaneously maybe defaming E. Jean Carroll...again. As a CNBC report points out, he did so immediately after posting a \\$91 million bond in regards to the case he's already lost against her. The bond itself is both shady and shadowy. |
