This is a long and absolutely tremendous read, in addition to being a remarkable piece of investigative journalism: FRAMED: She was the PTA Mom everyone knew. Who would want to harm her?This is a fascinating read, but be warned, it's a 9/11 story and it's difficult: The Falling Man An unforgettable story.
And one more: 'Freaks on the peaks': the lonely lives of the last remaining forest fire lookouts.
From C. Lee, and this is quite an excellent rabbit hole: Can Japanese speakers really read Chinese? It depends on what you mean by ‘read’.

From Wally, and this sounds like a dream: Meet Earl, the Gatekeeper to Paradise. This is absolutely astonishing: Worlds First Flat-Pack Truck.
