Official longform/good articles thread

i also cracked the case

 

Look at Sherlock Holmes here

 

Google Image search Larrimah, Australia after reading the article....what a "town"

 

Just started this one. The outback is wild

 

I don't understand how that town exists.

 

Apparently this is part of a medium section called Truly Adventurous. Scanning through the articles and they've had some top tier long-form work for a while (murder in whip city and richest black girl in America recently); definitely recommend checking it out

This is just horrible. Stay safe TMB

 

That was a wild ass story and I'm still not sure what actually happened

Thanks for sharing, that was excellent

 

Google tells me that guy is a U.S Marshall now

 

That sucks. They recommended some good shit over the years

 

That sucks. I have learned a lot thanks to them. And killed countless hours.

 

Longreads.com is a solid backup

 

Longreads format is the worst

 

Longform is/was infinitely better than longreads

mostly because longform only recommended a couple per day and longreads is more about volume

 

Descriptions on Longreads are trash too

Read that this morning and was going to post it here... hopefully that guy got a juiced up retirement package, because he had a wildly risky career. Other side of that is you sure didn't come away from reading that that he was dealing with a bunch of brainiacs in those groups.

 

Reminded me of this (first minute)

 

Criminals are usually pretty stupid tbh
