The House of Representatives just passed a bill codifying the right to access contraception by a vote of 228-195. Democrats produced the bill in response to the Supreme Court's decision to toss Roe v. Wade, taking a machete to the concept of the right to privacy in the process. Even if you ignore the explicit threat in Justice Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion to next go after 1965's Griswold v. Connecticut, which first established privacy as an unenumerated constitutional right while throwing out a Connecticut law banning contraceptives, it seems logical that the Supreme Court could, in the near future, choose to allow states to ban or restrict access to IUDs. All 195 votes against the bill were from House Republicans.

What if you could own a stake in Harry Potter? What if the book series functioned like a publicly traded company where individuals could "buy stock" in it, and as the franchise grows, those "stocks" become more valuable? If this were the case, someone who purchased just three percent of Harry Potter back when there was only one book would be a billionaire now. This is the future an emerging number of publishing startups are after—aiming to change the value of a book from a $10 Amazon purchase to a $100 investment opportunity, while creating a market of readers excited to see the books they love succeed. |

If you're a fan of documentary films, you couldn't have asked for a better year for the genre than 2021, but 2022's slate already rivals last year's.
