Since MG no longer talks to himself in the Radiohead thread, I have taken over the mantle.....

This is one of the most enthralling stories I've posted in this thread. Gone Girl meets Housewives of Orange County. It is long but well worth your time. After reading the craziness that is a woman (and possibly a man?) who perceives to be scorned the main thought i had was: I'm surprised this didn't happen in Utah Valley.

Read that today. Mind blown. I am surprised this didn't happen in Pasco.

So that's where Applejack got his username.

Wait until Dignan hears about this!

Around campus, she was the mom everyone knew. She had a natural rapport with children. She could double them over with her impression of Applejack, the plucky country gal from the “My Little Pony” TV series.

Did she have anything in her car she shouldn’t have?

No.

Could he search her car?

Absolutely.

The drugs were easy to find. They were sticking out of the pouch behind the driver’s seat.

He put them on his hood, and she begged him to put them somewhere else. Her daughter might see. Anyone might see.

Someone must have planted them, she said. Sometimes, she left her car unlocked.

An excellent write up in GQ about the Uber Killer in Michigan

http://www.gq.com/story/the-uber-killer?mbid=synd_digg

...what if one day a man became a mass killer and there were no real clues at all about why in the life he’d lived beforehand? Could such a person exist?

A well written, and surprisingly interesting, article about competitive archery.

http://harpers.org/archive/2016/08/arrow-heads/1/

.... in a matter of months, most anyone could become a very, very good archer. Becoming an Olympian was a more difficult task, and more difficult to explain. Stanwood, for starters, seems to be something of a savant when it comes to noncardiovascular competition: he is a scratch golfer and a pool shark, and played competitive video games before that became a more lucrative career than professional archery. “The thing that’s gonna take you to my level is some thing that can’t necessarily be taught,” he said, comparing firing a bow to an internal symphony whose movements only work as a whole. “How do you teach that?” he said. “People have to learn that for themselves.”

This is a long article, but worth the read. Very interesting how NYC's policy of unclaimed deceased people has medical training and legal ramifications.

We kind of discussed quality journalism in the movie thread when "Spotlight" came up. This is another example of how professional journalism is needed.
