I dash off articles-upon-articles to my Instapaper account for reading, and after I get around to them, I often say to myself: “you should post that link for others to read.” So, before I get distracted with something eminently more important — here’s a bunch of interesting links for you “others” to read:
- “The Blind Man Who Taught Himself To See” (interesting)
- “A Massacre In Jamaica” (politics, disturbing)
- “18 Tigers, 17 Lions, 8 Bears, 3 Cougars, 2 Wolves, 1 Baboon, 1 Macaque, and 1 Man Dead In Ohio” (crime, animals, sad)
