Longread #443 -- Jesse Willms, the Dark Lord of the Internet -- 1/29/14
After reading the first paragraph, I thought I was going to hate this article and almost stopped reading it. Instead, I was blown away by the extent of the shady business practices that just one person has turned into a boom-and-bust cycle of internet empires. It's scary to think that he's only the tip of the iceberg.

Longread #442 -- Why Women Aren’t Welcome on the Internet -- 1/28/14
This is an extremely troubling story, and I was especially impressed by how honestly the author addressed the challenges involved (including free speech, limitations of the legal system, etc.) despite herself having been threatened online.
