First up: a San Francisco Chronicle opinion piece (can I just say I’m falling in love with this paper? It’s no Minneapolis Star-Tribune, but it’s pretty awesome), praising a New York Magazine article synopsising the 9/11 conspiracy theory subculture.
Next: the New York article, which is full of reasonable and balanced reporting and generally leaves me a little nauseated. Many of the questions raised are things I have often pondered, and always assumed made me paranoid.
Bonus: another New York article about grown-ups who aren’t. My own private hell: the article describes two kinds of modern day adults – the arrested development hipster and the office drone – and I’d rather cut off my remaining testicle than turn out to be either one. Like all New York pieces, it’s very NY-centric, though, and the author makes no real effort to look outside his own zipcode for trends.
