After decades of immunity from liability, social-media platforms such as Meta and Snapchat may be vulnerable to a new bipartisan bill that seeks to curb damaging content on the Internet. But even if it passes, the law wouldn’t take effect until January 1, 2027, giving Big Tech plenty of time to bury Congress in lobbying money and political pressure. That’s why a new documentary, Can’t Look Away: The Case Against Social Media, matters now more than ever. The film follows the Social Media Victims Law Center, a scrappy group of non-white-shoe lawyers trying to help the parents of children who died buying fentanyl-laced stimulants on the Internet or who killed themselves over sex scams or an overload of suicide messaging. The stories of loss are affecting and scary. But the film also makes clear just how these sites use algorithms and other techniques to bombard vulnerable users with irresistible and inflammatory content. When misused, social media can be as lethal as cigarettes and guns, making Silicon Valley the Big Tobacco of our age. (jolt.film) —Alessandra Stanley

As the days finally get warmer and sunnier in New York City, indie-rock artist Father John Misty’s latest studio album, Mahashmashana, is just the sound for this season. The record’s title track, specifically its grand riff, feels like it should be played in the background of a movie scene where people are stepping outside again for the first time in years. (Something not so far away from our own reality.) Misty also encourages us to do a little spring cleaning with the track “She Cleans Up.” The tune’s groovy bassline and punchy guitar pair up nicely with jazzy horns that make us all want to move a little faster. He takes it down a notch and digs deeper with songs like “Mental Health” and “I Guess Time Just Makes Fools of Us All.” What more could you want from an album? Go listen. And if you have the chance to see him perform live, do that too. (spotify.com) —Henry McGrath

What to get the person who already has a closet full of Loro Piana cashmere? A little something from the brand’s new sunglasses collection, perhaps. Crafted by master artisans in Japan, these high-style shades are made of optical glass that is clarified through platinum and then polarized. Not only do they make everything you see look richer and clearer than it exists in real life—with no glare, I might add—but they also provide 100 percent UV protection. We’re starting with the Icer, a versatile retro style made of acetate with contrasting titanium rims. Do make sure to keep them in the case, though. It’s worth taking pains to ensure that these investment glasses aren’t accidentally left behind on the downtown 6 train. ($1,100; loropiana.com) —Ashley Baker

Kids these days. The ones in this Air Mail editor’s life barely get excited about anything remotely practical, but when shown the Holiday Case—the latest release from Rimowa—their eyes light up. The remarkably good-looking design was introduced in 1988, and its seemingly vintage white accents retain the spirit of the decade. It’s intended for adults and offers plenty of packing space for a two- or three-day trip, but it’s especially great for tweens, for whom a roller board feels a bit too old-school. It comes in glossy shades of red, blue, and yellow and is up for all sorts of adventures. ($1,200; rimowa.com) —Ashley Baker

The Frick Collection is one of New York’s gems, now more than ever, as it prepares to reopen its Fifth Avenue mansion after an extensive and acclaimed renovation. The story of how Henry Clay Frick and his daughter accumulated such European treasures is compellingly told in The Fricks Collect, a handsome volume with a foreword written by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes. Coal and steel made the robber baron his fortune, but they also brought fatal labor strife and an attempt on his life. Nonetheless, as Fellowes points out, Frick succeeded in “making America one of the main custodians of high culture in the modern world.” Congratulations to recently retired director Ian Wardropper and editor Michaelyn Mitchell for producing a book beautiful enough to rest atop the fireplace mantel in the Fragonard Room.

Few places can transport you to the other side of the world quite like New York’s Kappo Sono. Its Michelin-starred chef Chikara Sono offers a two-hour (or three-hour) kaiseki experience—a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner. The meal starts with grilled prawn in sesame tofu tempura, followed by an exquisite assortment of fresh sashimi, and then sautéed king butterfish in a butter soy sauce. Eight courses later, you’ll find a way to make room for pastry chef Norie Uematsu’s airy strawberry mille-feuille parfait—plus a tin of biscuits for the road. The feast is paired with a seasonal shiboritate sake from Kirinzan, called Potari Potari. (Kappo Sono owns 48 of the 60 bottles currently available in the United States.) “I nearly had to sell my soul to get them,” the beverage director tells me. You might have to do the same to secure a reservation at this intimate 12-seater. (kapposono.com) —Carolina de Armas
