We spoke with BuzzFeed’s Steve Kandell about his Sunday visit to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.Then, Patrick LaForge from the New York Times tells us the origin story behind a certain ubiquitous Twitter disclaimer that’s attached itself to social media like a barnacle. For Mike’s Spiel, he considers the North Korean pop star who shocked the world by actually being alive.Get notified as soon as The Gist posts each weekday: www.slate.com/gistemail.Learn more about your ad choices.
