Confessions of the Instagram Famous

Plus: Inside ISIS, an oral history of 'Jersey Shore,' and how millennials are remaking the English language one LOL at a time.

Five stories to read this weekend, chosen by our editors.

Confessions of Instagram Travel Stars

Don't feel so envious of the full-time travel influencers seemingly living their best lives on Instagram. Life's not all infinity pools and palm fronds — the full picture includes obsessive planning, travel burnout, and drained bank accounts.

How ISIS Stayed in Power so Long

The terror group did not rule by brutality alone. They had another deadly tool at their disposal: bureaucracy. ISIS expert Rukmini Callimachi — the woman behind The New York Times' new audio series Caliphate — recovered 15,000 documents that reveal what life was like in the Islamic State.

Have Millennials Ruined the English Language?

Linguistics professors argue that the digital natives may be destroying the rules of grammar — but they're creating something better. LOL, rly.

Onboard a Real-Life Ghost Ship

Why did a respected captain ignore National Hurricane Center forecasts (and his own crew) to sail into one of the strongest storms in history? Using a salvaged recording, Vanity Fair recreates the harrowing final hours of a ship swallowed by the sea, killing all 33 on board.

An Oral History of Jersey Shore

Against all odds, Jersey Shore, a reality show about the over-tanned denizens of a summer share house, became one of MTV's most enduring hits. Now the cast — back on the network with Jersey Shore Family Vacation — explains how Snooki and friends redefined pop-culture, revitalized a network, and taught the world to fist pump.
