Please welcome John Keek to your mindspace and invite him to stay awhile. This track of his, premiered on a tiny EP almost exactly a year ago, is a real feeler. Bubbly vocal harmonies and sticky keys make for a listen so visceral that you could paint it as ASMR, and Keek’s use of horns and lush chords feel like production help from a jazzier Chance the Rapper. It’s all very cozy but driven– kind of perfect for a fall Friday.

But why? In short, it’s not that there are fewer elderly people, it’s just that they have more options. After a federal regulation switch in 2005, Medicare and Medicaid provide more access to in-home care, which most people vastly prefer, and less coverage for residential programs. So that’s great for people who want to stay at home, and obviously bad news for the thousands of residential facilities that are closing– and also for the boomers who, by virtue of their sheer numbers, will probably need more eventual nursing homes than the present generation. Maybe we’ll figure out how to make them awesome by then?

Sucks for divorce lawyers. But you knew this: Snake People* tend to save marriage until they’re socially financially stable, which means fewer potentially marriage-ending shakeups. But is that enough to account for a divorce drop of 18 percentage points between 2008 and 2016? Nope. So here’s the rest of the story: for the poor and working class, that moment of financial stability may never come, which means not getting married at all. And just like that, marriage transforms from transaction to privilege.

For those with money to burn at every life rite, thank goodness there’s a place to make lists. I thought we’d seen it all: wedding registries, baby registries, honeymoon registries, house registries… But I found a new one! Target now offers a registry for college, which we can safely assume is practice for all the rest. Dibs on the air mattress.
