The following is an excerpt from Hitler, My Neighbor: Memories of a Jewish Childhood, 1929-1939 by Edgar Feuchtwanger with Bertil Scali, translated by Adriana Hunter. In this passage, Feuchtwanger — who grew up Jewish in Munich, across the street from Adolf Hitler’s house — recalls the lead-up to the 1930 elections that saw the Nazi party gain a serious foothold in the Reichstag: Since we’ve been home from our vacation, there’s been talk of nothing but politics in the house.

Death hoaxes may spread like crazy on Twitter, but memorials are what really went viral in 2013. Every year Twitter showcases one or more Golden Tweets, also known as the year’s most popular tweets, as part of its annual year in review package. Each of this year’s highlighted tweets was shared more than 350,000 times, and two of 2013’s most-retweeted tweets were tributes to young stars passed who passed away.

For £99, diners are invited to the upstairs bar where they can look at a teaser menu that tells the story of each course, crafted by head chef Rafal Zaremba (who is currently undergoing Michelin training) without revealing what they will be served. They are then led by the restaurant's completely blind waiters into the dining room, where they will receive five courses with five paired wines. Each course is served while five special tracks play for five minutes each.

Scientists have revealed the best way to cook mushrooms — and it’s not in a frying pan. Mushrooms are healthy because of the significant amount of dietary fiber, protein, amino acids, vitamins (including B1, B2, B12, C, D and E) and trace minerals that they contain, as well as the fact that they’re low in fat and calories. But, according to researchers from the Mushroom Technological Research Center of La Rioja in Spain, mushrooms’ composition, antioxidant capacity and nutritional content can be negatively affected by the cooking process.

Nine years ago a band leader named Ben Pollack was drawing hot music’s purists to Chicago’s Southmoor Hotel. His band, a future who’s who of jazz, included a solemn, bespectacled clarinetist named Benny Goodman, a shockheaded, galvanic drummer named Gene Krupa, a rangy, adolescent trombonist with an Iowa accent named Alton Glenn Miller. As the years went by, and hot jazz built up from a provincial ripple to a national tidal wave, Clarinetist Goodman rode to shore on its crest and was crowned King of Swing.

I know what you’re going to say about Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins. A snobby British guy in a Sherlock suit tries to “improve” a working woman by teaching her to talk pretty and look bangin’ in necklaces?! Screw you, Henry Higgins! Lean in to the flower business, Eliza! There’s nothing “loverly” about misogynistic woman-shaping narratives! Put My Fair Lady in a folder with all the other movies that “send bad messages,” like Grease and Gone With the Wind!

Nintendo If the original 3DS seemed a little puny for a games handheld touting “glasses-free 3D,” Nintendo’s new, almost paperback-sized $200 3DS XL expands your range of options to two: pint-sized or big gulp. If you already own a 3DS, on the other hand, that choice may feel like a pain point: Live with the perfectly decent, pocket-sized handheld you might have paid as much as $250 for (before Nintendo dropped the price last August), or cough up another $200 for extra eyeball room.

One Direction‘s “hiatus” hasn’t stifled its streaming success. The band’s music catalog experienced a 468% increase on YouTube Music in response to the band’s 10th anniversary on July 23, despite members going their own ways in 2015.
