*1. BRO CODE

"Consciously or otherwise, many men believe that talking about personal matters with other men is not manly. The result is often less intimate, more casual friendships between men, making connections more tenuous and harder to sustain." Why are friends important? Studies show deep friendships increase longevity. From NYT - The Challenges of Male Friendships

*2 HERE'S WHAT THE SUPREME COURT DECIDED

"The Supreme Court struck down Texas abortion restrictions that have been widely duplicated in other states, a resounding win for abortion rights advocates in the court’s most important consideration of the controversial issue in 25 years. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy joined the court’s liberals in the 5 to 3 decision, which said Texas’s arguments that the clinic restrictions were to protect women’s health were cover for making it more difficult to obtain an abortion." From WaPo - Supreme Court strikes down Texas abortion clinic restrictions

Do nothing. Seriously, do nothing.

From NYT - Advice as Markets React to ‘Brexit’: Take Some Deep Breaths and Don’t Do a Thing and No, Really: Just Ignore Day-to-Day Stock Market Fluctuations

+ "One of the biggest immediate casualties of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union appears to be the banking sector." That's important because, "The vote to leave the European Union raised concerns about the future of London’s financial services sector, which serves as a gateway into the European market for many banks and other industries. In addition, an exit from the European Union would require renegotiating Britain’s financial regulations, many of which are currently determined by the E.U." From WaPo - This is the scariest thing that’s happening right now in the markets

*4. SPIES LIKE US

"Richard and Cynthia Murphy were really Vladimir and Lidiya Guryev, Russian spies, part of a Northeast corridor cell that was soon sent back to Moscow by the United States government in an exchange. The Guryevs and their two talented, popular daughters, Katie and Lisa, became an inspiration for the FX show 'The Americans.'" From NYT - ‘Spy House,’ a Decrepit Reminder of Betrayal, Sits Empty in New Jersey

+ From The Telegraph - The new lives back home for the Russian spies

+ "Many of the recent acts of intimidation by Russian security services have crossed the line into apparent criminality. In secret memos, diplomats reported that Russian intruders had broken into their homes late at night, only to rearrange the furniture or turn on all the lights and televisions, and leave. One diplomat reported that an intruder had defecated on his living room carpet." From WaPo - Russia is harassing U.S. diplomats all over Europe
