"Apologies to all otters, ferrets, badgers, ferret-badgers, weasels, fishers, polecats, wolverines, martens, and grisons, but the mustelid of the moment is the stoat. The mascots of the 2026 Winter Olympics are a pair of sibling stoats named Milo (short for Milano) and Tina (short for Cortina)." Sabrina Imbler gives the Olympics the Creaturefector treatment.

This week, cleanup began on a fish sauce plant abandoned to ferment for over 20 years in a small town in coastal Canada.

"Of course there may have been some ancient third space for icemen to gather, be merry, and press against each other in a non-sexual manner, or perhaps pass around a communal loincloth. But the most parsimonious explanation here is that HPV is most commonly spread through vaginal or anal sex, so we can only logically conclude that Ötzi probably caught HPV from fucking." At Defector, Sabrina Imbler writes about a preprint paper that brings us some rare good news about the iceman Ötzi.

Sometimes you don’t know what the next step looks like — all you know is that where you are isn’t working anymore. @ingridnilsen was one of the original lifestyle and beauty youtubers, and in 2020 she took a huge risk: she walked away from her successful YouTube career without a firm plan for what came next. (Spoiler: a few months later, she launched @thenewsavant with @ericaamerica!) On the latest episode of Try Hard, we talk about what it takes to walk away from something you’re really, really good at, and how to listen to the voice in your head to lead you to what’s next.

"Good creative work draws on the well of your experience, on everything that you consumed and felt and saw over a period of time. If you dip into the well constantly without giving it time to refill, you end up with nothing but pieces of mud, nothing that will satiate a thirst for art. Swift hasn’t given herself time to write anything good in years." Kelsey McKinney reviews the new Taylor Swift album. Read it at Defector.com.

Dan McQuade, our friend and colleague, died this week at the age of 43. He is survived by his wife and young son. At the end of 2024, Dan was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer. The news of his diagnosis hit all of us hard, but Dan never lost his enthusiasm or his spirit. Some of us have worked with Dan for nearly a decade, and all of us have come to know him not just as a coworker, but as a great friend. Dan was a truly authentic and engaging person. His curiosity was relentless, and his interests were varied and idiosyncratic; his beliefs were righteous and genuinely held; his connection to his community was deep and meaningful. We miss Dan dearly, and will be honoring his memory more thoroughly in the days and weeks to come. For now, though, we are going to slow down the site for a bit to be with our families, our friends, and each other. Over the next few days, some of our favorite stories that Dan published here at Defector will be curated on the homepage. We hope you’ll read and enjoy them.

We were devastated to learn that Philadelphia journalist Dan McQuade, 43, died this week after a battle with cancer. Dan was a friend of Studio 2 and collaborated with us on an event we hosted in 2024. His work as a writer for Defector, Philadelphia Magazine and Philadelphia Weekly made the cultural conversation in the city more vibrant, humorous and interesting. Miss you, Dan 💔
