This is a magnificently written, heartbreaking story: The Paperboy’s Secret.
Perhaps linked to the scam center story I posted a few weeks ago: WOW: My Visit To Laos’ Creepy, Lawless “Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone”.
This is horrifying and demands to be read, as well as winning a prize for journalism in Europe (the "accept cookies" dialogue box is in Dutch, but click through and the article is in English): What the wounds are telling us: Doctors in Gaza observed a disturbing pattern: children with a single gunshot wound to the head or chest, a sign that they had been deliberately targeted. This emerges from research by de Volkskrant, which spoke with the doctors who are among the last international eyewitnesses.
Another fantastic piece of reporting from Pro Publica, this one about a raw milk farm and the inevitable disasters: The Milkman.
A riveting and heartbreaking story: My mother was forced to give me up for adoption. But when we finally met decades later, it was far from a fairytale ending.
This is remarkable: Some ancient microbes frozen with Ötzi the Iceman are still growing.
I grew up right next to here: Corpus Christi’s Water Crisis Sparks a Fight With Its Neighbors.
Animals keep getting smarter as we think of smarter ways to study them: Bonobos enjoy pretend tea parties and chimps think rationally: why apes are more like us than we ever thought.
From John S., a fantastic story: Scientists make sourdough bread using yeast found in 5,000-year-old mummy.
From Wally, and "real horror" certainly describes this country right now: These Fantasy and Sci-Fi Novels Are Full of Real Horrors.
