Interesting article related to this thread: https://www.theatlantic.com/technolo...ternet/519795/
NY Times just dropped a multi-part series on the shitshow that is no-knock warrants/SWAT team raids.....Pretty chilling. First part has some graphic video:
Part One: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...drug-raid.html
Part Two: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...rugs.html?_r=0
This really is the best I've seen of the new paradigm of the longform multimedia article. Superb. And if you as a skier haven't read it, you better get started right about now.

I have piles of issues from the last few years if you want a random selection to flip throughQuote:

It still tugs at my heart to read it...
The biggest thing about that article is about how the consensus to go developed. Great athletes, super smart snow people, and they blew it completely, because of peer/business pressure. They all ignored what they knew was true.Quote:

^heard about that one this morning on the radio
look fwd to it altho I'm sure it will also be a tough read...
Just read it. Good piece. Affecting and sad but not in a weepy way for me at least. Crazy that the author's dead at 57, he must've had a heart attack I guess.
Wow. That was a great read and moving.Quote:

A good but sad read, thanks for sharing.Quote:

How the hell did I miss that? I blame the BBI hangover. ThanksQuote:

This New Yorker about assange, the election, and Wikileaks is kinda blowing my mind. I'm only on part III

The Guardian has two pieces worth reading right now. One is on homelessness in America. The other is on gun violence in America.
You should read this one https://www.newyorker.com/tech/eleme...m-and-vaccinesQuote:
