This week’s news in Venn diagrams.

This article presents a weekly roundup of news stories summarized using Venn diagrams, a visual tool that uses overlapping circles to show relationships between different sets of information.

For example, one diagram might illustrate the overlap between two seemingly unrelated topics, like a 96-year-old murder mystery film with an all-dog cast and a popular social media platform.

Another could highlight the connection between a literary figure, such as Emily Wilson—known for her translations of The Odyssey—and a political controversy involving George Santos.

The article is written by James Folta, the managing editor of Points in Case and a contributor to Literary Hub, a platform that curates literary news, essays, and book reviews.

The format aims to make complex or quirky news stories more engaging and accessible to a general audience by simplifying their key themes into visual overlaps.
