The sweep and yet the specificity of this @benjwallace longread is something to behold. Well done. https://t.co/Mvcms4sS0x

[Mark Robinson @markrobsf]

Science and statistics are great, but not enough is being written about the deeply human experience of this disaster. @elliottwoods goes straight for the heart. Must read.

Stunning profile in courage & service amid the #COVID19 pandemic.

Proud to know @AndrewMIbrahim, this story's protagonist, & countless others making incredible personal sacrifices as they do their critical work.

“This was unexpected.”

"It’s going to disappear."
A devastating oral history of all the warnings the administration should have heeded about the pandemic. https://t.co/Yf2BgxnN7d

[Mark Robinson @markrobsf]

Must read. @wired

[Mark Robinson @markrobsf]

An extraordinary look inside one American hospital (@umichmedicine) as it faces a tsunami of viral illness. @elliottwoods captures the humanity, courage, and despair of the moment in vivid, literate detail. First of a series for @wired. https://t.co/O6Jgr3grh4

@JohnHMcWhorter @lexiconvalley @Slate Loved this ep as always @JohnHMcWhorter. But I was sure when you were discussing “persuade” that you were going to say it’s like “sweet talking.” Keep playing show tunes!

[Mark Robinson @markrobsf]

@msamywallace Glad to have played a small part in such a cool piece of writing!

[Mark Robinson @markrobsf]

Just catching up with this: one of the weirdest most beautiful profiles you’ll ever read. Lady Leadfoot. By the incomparable @msamywallace. Brava! https://t.co/6tS07e9vRU

To jack up his body's nitric oxide (good for stamina) marathoner @nxthompson drank beet juice. "It’s unnerving to pee red, but at least I knew it was for the sake of science." https://t.co/IFG3ydrCRC

This piece by @jeanguerre about her father, "targeted individuals," and the way we've given ourselves over to the internet is absolutely outstanding: https://t.co/TtimxEddke

[Mark Robinson @markrobsf]

Special piece:@jeanguerre’s father is one of thousands who believe the government is subjecting them to mind control. As a journalist, she felt a duty to investigate his claims. Are “targeted individuals” trying to tell us something about the digital age? https://t.co/ga7MULAHIK

@longform Thanks so much for highlighting this @longform @maxlinsky!

[Mark Robinson @markrobsf]

Many thanks @Longreads @markarms for giving a shout out to @brendankoerner's terrific tale of a swatting gone wrong. It's a deeply human story, but also one with public policy implications: Cops need to be aware that they might be getting pranked. @WIRED https://t.co/br1q9FhqKl

[Mark Robinson @markrobsf]

This searing @wired article by @brendankoerner is extraordinary. The story of how a random prank (swatting) turned deadly is not only riveting, it's an exploration of human folly, loss, and the redemption that can come from turning tragedy into action. https://t.co/br1q9EZPlL

[Mark Robinson @markrobsf]

@davidpuu How not accurate? We'll fix if there is an error.

[Mark Robinson @markrobsf]

A masterful profile of scientist Jim Allison, who just won a Nobel. Not only does it capture the Texan’s infectious brilliance, it lucidly explains the most important cancer breakthrough in 50 years. So delighted to have @charlesgraeber back in @Wired! https://t.co/YuLAZOFnq2

Astute analysis from @ArmsControlWonk (and that Twitter handle!)

[Dr. Jeffrey Lewis @ArmsControlWonk]

Bob Woodward’s book paints Trump as a far more absurd character than I could have gotten away with in The #2020Commission. Me in @WIRED.

Watching paint dry was never so fascinating. Leave it to @jetjocko in @WIRED. https://t.co/nyiNY9WcdD
