A BBC health feature argues that thinking about the legacy we leave behind can boost mental health and give life more meaning, with legacy categorized into biological, material, and values; examples range from organ and body donation to recording life stories and passing on beliefs. Thinking about legacy early in life may reduce death anxiety, encourage prosocial behavior, and guide choices, while end-of-life activities can ease grief and provide comfort for patients and families.

Barack Obama’s Library Aims to Frame His Presidency Within a Broader American Journey

Weeks before the Barack Obama Presidential Center opens in Chicago, Obama says he wants the library to contextualize his presidency as part of a longer, nationwide journey toward equality, noting that while he’ll be remembered as the first African American president, his tenure is “an episode” in a much larger arc. He also discusses Trump’s ongoing influence, worries about authoritarianism, his post‑White House political activity, and the challenge of speaking plainly to regular people while balancing public duties with family time.

Cat-Themed Secret Lair Drops Hint at Infinite Combos and High-Value Reprints

MTG Rocks previews Wizards of the Coast’s Cat-themed Secret Lair Superdrop, Cats Are The Best, highlighting reprint-heavy cards with strong Commander appeal and potential infinite-combat combos. Key spoilers include Aggravated Assault, a costly enchantment capable of infinite combat steps when paired with mana engines like Old Gnawbone, and Dark Ritual, a quintessential Ritual spell with Legacy/Vintage and Commander use. Sovereign Okinec Ahau and Sheltered by Ghosts are also showcased for cat-themed synergies. Despite reprints (including a WoE variant), Aggravated Assault remains around $26, underscoring ongoing demand; the drop is framed as a mix of art-driven novelty and viable deck-building options for Commander, with broader implications for prices and metagame strategies.

Legacy’s Play-to-Earn Dream Ends in a Wallet-Wide Bust

Ars Technica details Legacy, Peter Molyneux’s crypto-backed game, which raised about $54M in NFT sales but collapsed within weeks of launch due to a broken economy and an 85% payout rake on in-game Gems, making earnings effectively impossible and leaving most players with massive losses. Some investors profited only through land flips, while the failed project helped fund 22cans’ Masters of Albion, illustrating the hype and risk of play-to-earn and web3 gaming.

An Intimate Portrait of Pope Francis and His Open-Ended Legacy

After Pope Francis's death in 2025, Vatican staff quickly cleared Casa Santa Marta, a moment underscored by a personal photo of NCR journalist Salvatore Cernuzio found in his study. Cernuzio's memoir Padre: An Untold Portrait of Pope Francis portrays a pope deeply engaged with crises and daily humanity, including late-life pilgrimages to Gaza and migrant sites, and even a possible Moscow–Kyiv mediation, as well as his habit of personal, caring gestures. The book argues his legacy lies in prophetic openness and ongoing dialogue rather than fixed doctrinal decisions. A companion volume, Reactivating Pope Francis, frames his impact as open processes and synodality that keep the Church moving forward.
