This one really got my brain turning:
Why Animals Don't Get Lost, from The New Yorker
Birds do it. Bees do it. Learning about the astounding navigational feats of wild creatures can teach us a lot about where we’re going.

Interesting article about relationship management and conflict. The Secret to a Fight-Free Relationship
"Conventional wisdom says that venting is cathartic and that we should never go to bed angry. But couples who save disagreements for scheduled meetings show the benefits of a more patient approach to conflict."
Might also be relevant for the frustrated wife thread...

Disturbing article in the Atlantic about how today's meth, made with precursors other than ephedrine, which is now highly regulated / hard to get, is much worse for users than ephedrine-based meth.

Cracking down on ephedrine really worked out well.

Not the longest but intriguing nonetheless: The Record-Setting Life of Mike McCastle
Over the past few years, McCastle has completed 5,804 pull-ups in a single day, pulled a 5,000-pound truck across the Mojave Desert, and climbed a rope the equivalent height of Mount Everest. How on earth has this Navy SEAL dropout accomplished some of the craziest physical feats in recent memory?

Long, heavy but a moving story of the human/political failures and small glimpses of success this summer with the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
I'd followed the story lines in August and September, but then life and the news cycle moved on. This brought the reality back. I think covid has overshadowed what will end up being a bigger legacy item for Biden in the future:

“Truth is a fragile thing. It can be warped and reshaped countless times, but with each twist and fold it becomes more brittle. At a point, it snaps or tears, and you realise it was maybe never the truth at all.
Nick Clark is a cyclist, a soldier, a CEO, a gun for hire. Nick Clark is, maybe, none of those things.
In a tangled web of contradictions and overlapping timelines across several continents, it’s hard to say, really, who Nick Clark is.”
