Hi, I’ve been working on this investigative feature for WIRED for over a year, and it’s finally out. It’s about the women who came to Antarctica for science, and the predators who emerged. A congressional investigation is still unfolding. Thanks to WIRED senior research editor Meghan Herbst for additional reporting.

I spent most of my formative years — if I wasn’t at rehearsal for whichever school play I’d managed to get cast in or locked in my room reading fanfiction — at the mall. As I didn’t get my driver’s license until a few months after my 17th birthday (on the third try, no less), and I lived in Boca Raton, Florida, my options for getting there were limited. My parents had divorced years earlier and my mom had a new husband, infant twins, and a demanding job.

Flourish is the most useful tool for creating data visualizations. It’s free and easy to use to make line, bar and pie charts. You can also use its templates to craft sophisticated 3D maps, word clouds, quizzes, or annotated timelines. You can share, download, or embed your creations. Canva acquired Flourish in 2022, so you can use it on its own or insert graphics into a Canva presentation. This post is an update of my earlier writeup.

December 30th, 2021 | Wilson Virgin Islands flagship drops anchor in Ballantyne! Woody’s Seafood Saloon at Ballantyne Corners Shopping Center opened earlier this month. The Caribbean restaurant renovated the 3,531 SF end unit, featuring ground-level dining, a patio, and a rooftop bar. This is Woody’s second location after their flagship location at Cruz Bay in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The restaurant is known for its island attitude and Shark Bites appetizer.

Enshitification is what happens when principles go out the window. Principles like service, like honor, like honesty, like “a little looking for the other fella,” as James Stewart said in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, are what make civilization possible. When they disappear, as they have over the last several years, it doesn’t matter much what your system is or what your laws say. Those with power will take it, and only the strongest will survive.

I have an abiding weakness for a certain kind of amateur internet anthropology, produced by, for, and about message-board weirdos. Confronted with the strange formlessness of the internet, with the anonymous cacophony that characterizes most message boards and forums (I'm including here most "social media"), a particular type of mind will begin to taxonomize and diagram, attempting to impose shape and structure. The results are breathtakingly obsessive, semi-structuralist typologies, maps, matrices, and diagrams of political tendencies, subcultural sects, and posting styles, often expressed in forbiddingly ugly formats.

I started Something Glorious because I love the joy food, drinks, and travel offer to so many people. Gathering with friends and family over a meal with a nice bottle of wine, in a special — or even not so special — setting can result in memorable stories, laughs, and sometimes even tears (often times from la… ncG1vNJzZmiZop6vprrDnqmso6ljwLau0q2YnKNemLyue89om5qmmZq5onnSqKuoZZmju6a%2F

In Part 1 of the Worst NFL Coaching Hires of the 21st Century … Greg Schiano turned the end-of-game victory kneel into the Battle of the Somme; Rod Marinelli declared himself the “one voice of leadership,” not noticing Matt Millen looking over his shoulder; Dave Campo proved that he was more of a muppet of a man than a very manly muppet; Nathaniel Hackett mismanaged the clock at the end of this series of bullet points;
