Presenting our Mavericks of Sports and spring issue cover star, @FernandoMendoza.

He won the Heisman Trophy, a national championship at Indiana University, and everyone knows he’s going first in the NFL draft this month. He might look like a Peyton Manning or a Tom Brady or an Eli Manning, but Mendoza also has something to say. He doesn’t just want to explain things—he needs to.

At the link in our bio, the 22-year-old phenom opens up about his faith, his NFL plans, and how he holds it all together.

@ArynaSabalenka has won four Grand Slam titles and currently stands as the top-ranked female tennis player in the world. Along the way, she’s argued with line judges, yelled at coaches, mocked opponents, and smashed countless rackets to smithereens.

She’s owned up to her mistakes, but never at the expense of her game. Now, she’s learning to channel her rage into her game and peace into everything else. Read the full story from our Mavericks of Sports issue at the link in our bio.

#JonBernthal has built a life and a career in Hollywood—but he still has the appetite of a man trying to prove himself.

He’s a study in contrasts: an actor who studied acting in Russia and at Harvard; the family man known for playing some of the most dysfunctional characters on TV.

He’s also restless, always on the hunt for bigger and bigger challenges—like, say, doing live theater in a role immortalized by Al Pacino or battling his way through Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.” Wait ‘til you hear what he does when he’s off the clock. Read the full story at the link in bio.

Taste, in its simplest form, is personal preference. But it’s also something that requires introspection and intention.

“Taste was once something we developed, each on our own,” writes @tffanyng. “But something terrible has happened. Taste no longer comes from within. Taste is now something we co-opt.”

By off-loading the work of connoisseurship to social media, taste has become something that’s performed instead of developed.

“Our fixation on embodying the consensus of whatever algorithmic faction we fall under has asphyxiated every ounce of whimsy,” Ng continues. “Aren’t occasional poor choices worth the trade-off?” Read the full essay at the link in our bio.

Trump's billion-dollar settlement with the IRS "dwarfs all the scandals in this country's history," writes Politics correspondent Charles P. Pierce.

Under the deal, the Justice Department will establish a $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to pay claims to people acting Attorney General Todd Blanche called “victims of lawfare and weaponization,” per Politico.

“In addition to the completely corrupt financial elements of the deal,” Pierce continues, “it also is the most lucrative, grift-ridden element of the constant revision of the 2020 election results and the insurrectionists of January 6th.” Read more at the link in bio.
