🇸🇪 “I always wonder how many people will die because of me”

When other countries issued lockdowns and stay-at-home orders, Sweden bucked the trend, mostly relying on citizens to make their own responsible decisions to control the novel coronavirus. 

Now, the country is even closer to the old normal, with more kids returning to preschool and residents told to wait only two days after symptoms subside to return to work or school. 

A preschool teacher outside of Stockholm told Insider the situation is worrying some colleagues, parents, and students, who are being forced to attend schools under risky circumstances.

✈️ First and business class flight experiences are currently heavily stripped back due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Equally, lots of airlines are spacing passengers out in economy to comply with social distancing guidelines.

Travel experts told Insider that although a premium ticket may not be worth it right now if you care about perks, it's likely that overall, it will become more appealing than ever.

This is largely due to the space and privacy offered, particularly with the trend for business class suites with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors.

Here’s more on how the air travel experience will change https://www.insider.com/business-first-class-more-valuable-post-coronavirus-flight-experts-2020-5

📹 Imogen Horton, known as Imogenation on YouTube, showed her followers the devastating impact of online hate and trolling.

She posted a candid video full of raw footage of her struggles behind the camera. The footage showed how she could barely get out her greeting to start videos, and documented panic attacks where it felt like the walls were closing in on her.

Horton told Insider she felt like she'd lost herself and was obsessed with finding and deleting hate comments. She said she wishes people were kinder to one another, especially now when "we need each other more than ever."

🍴 Days after former Bon Appétit editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport wrote in a May 31 newsletter that "food is inherently political," he again denied a pay raise for the only Black woman on the magazine's staff. 

The insiders at Condé Nast's prestigious food outlet claimed that non-white employees are socially slighted and unable to access the same professional networks as their white peers.

The company regularly features people of color in their videos. However, few of them have the lucrative contracts that their white peers have for appearing in videos.

Business Insider spoke to 14 current and former contributors or employees at Bon Appétit. All identify as people of color. Several said Adam Rapoport, who stepped down as editor-in-chief on Monday, and Matt Duckor, who heads video for Condé Nast brands including Bon Appétit, refused to make Bon Appétit content more diverse.

🥊 A two-fight series between prominent heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua was reportedly agreed last week.

The lucrative bouts were organized by Daniel Kinahan, a suspected $1.1 billion gang boss, who has been widely condemned by Irish politicians.

A UK politician, Stephen Farry, told Insider that he will alert the British government to Kinahan's involvement in elite boxing.

"He is not a fit and proper person to be involved in the promotion of professional sport," said Farry, a member of parliament for Northern Ireland's Alliance Party.

He wants to know "what can be done to ensure proper international governance around professional boxing."

🖼 Time magazine and the New Yorker both commissioned Black artists to create powerful cover images of police brutality and racism.

In Time, artist Titus Kaphar honors victims of racist killings by painting a grieving mother holding a hallowed-out baby, while the red border lists the names of 35 Black Americans who have died at the hands of police or other Americans.

In The New Yorker, artist Kadir Nelson created a piece called "Say Their Names," which includes a painting of George Floyd with the faces of other Black men and women who have been killed.

Both artists have a prominent record of depicting African American history in their work. Read more about them here https://www.insider.com/artists-behind-police-brutality-time-magazine-new-yorker-covers-2020-6
