Just The Gist

She was the most famous female pilot in history, a feminist icon, and arguably the world's first influencer, all carefully built by her book publisher husband George Putnam. But when Amelia Earhart vanished over the Pacific in 1937, the conspiracy theories went wild: Japanese spies, government cover-ups, secret island lives. Eighty-nine years on, the most likely explanation for what happened to her might also be the most disturbing of all. This is Just The Gist of Amelia Earhart: the brilliant PR campaign, the doomed 1937 round-the-world flight, and the theory that has haunted Howland Island ever since.

Three people are dead, more passengers have been diagnosed, and British paratroopers had to parachute medical supplies onto the most remote inhabited island on earth. The Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius is finally on its way home to be disinfected, but the hantavirus outbreak on board has scattered suspected cases across more than a dozen countries. So is this the next covid? And how is it the same virus that killed Gene Hackman's wife last year? This is Just The Gist (MINI) of the hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius.

In 2018, a Twitter user called @buzzkillary posted a 30-page PowerPoint titled 'Lorde and Jack Antonoff: An Emotionally Broken Journey', presenting their case that Jack had been cheating on his then-girlfriend Lena Dunham with Lorde while recording Melodrama. ‘The PowerPoint’, as it became known, has long been considered a cult classic internet text by the chronically online, but mostly forgotten by everyone else.

UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO, when Lena published her new memoir Famesick, in which she wrote about her break-up with Jack, and a suspiciously affectionate 'young pop star'. The internet is now declaring ‘The PowerPoint’ vindicated. This is Just The Gist (MINI) of the Lorde/Jack Antonoff PowerPoint.

She would have been 36-years-old this year. Instead, JonBenét Ramsey remains frozen in time as a child beauty queen, and possibly the most famous unsolved child murder in American history. This year marks the 30th anniversary of JonBenet’s death, yet the case remains an open investigation - and is still obsessed over by armchair detectives across the globe. This is Just The Gist of JonBenét Ramsey: the 1996 Boulder, Colorado murder, Patsy and John Ramsey, the 911 call that has been studied for decades, and the 2016 Burke Ramsey interview with Dr. Phil interview that brought renewed interest in the case.
