Writers on the right and left agreed that the process by which tax reform was enacted can easily be undone if Democrats win electoral victories in 2018. For more on what the columnists from across ideologies had to say about the G.O.P. tax plan, read on. [THE NEW YORK TIMES »](

Rebecca Traister, a writer for New York magazine, speaks with Ezra Klein, a writer for Vox, on a set of topics that Mr. Kleinâs podcasts summarize as â#MeToo, female rage, and Anita Hillâs legacy.â But the interview is much wider and deeper than that, covering how we arrived at this moment of reckoning on sexual assault, what it means for society and where itâs taking us. It is well worth a listen. [THE EZRA KLEIN SHOW »](

Most of us â those who are paying attention, anyway â worry about online security. What should we post? Who has access to our information? Well, hereâs a horror story for you to consider, one that involves online gaming, infidelity and cyberharassment. âCourtney was beginning to feel trapped in a world of anonymous abuse,â Brooke Jarvis writes. âShe didnât know if she would be able to convince anyone that what she believed to be happening was real.â [WIRED »](

This year is closing with meteoric increases in market price for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It seems as if 2018 will (we hope) have a corresponding spike in scrutiny and oversight of these little understood and even less regulated financial markets. This piece starts to do that. It looks at Tether, one of the biggest Bitcoin exchanges out there, and starts to identify the questions of what value is undergirding the currency, how liquid the fund truly is and who are the backers profiting from the operation. [BLOOMBERG »](

 Sometimes the banal speaks volumes. Ajuan Mance, an Oakland, Calif., artist, sketched 1,001 portraits of black men she has encountered in the past six years. The seemingly simple conceit yields a rich, complex panorama that goes well beyond stereotypes. [SFGATE.COM »Â](

A photographer decided to dress up kids dealing with disability or disease as their favorite superheroes. In this brief and touching video (which circulated for some time before getting to me), the kids get to see themselves in costume, poster-size, capes flapping â and their joy will warm anyoneâs day. Talk about super. [THIS IS INSIDER »](

âWhen the late afternoon sun turns the crenellated limestone walls of the Old City to warm glowing gold, it is easy to understand the intense emotional hold of this tiny place.â More than 17 years ago, during another round of talks that ultimately failed to broker a lasting Mideast peace, our legendary reporter and war correspondent John Kifner encapsulated the history and divisions that have made the status of Jerusalem the central irresolvable, obstacle. [THE TIMES ARCHIVES »](
