Dan told me, and I’m ashamed to admit I was a little surprised to hear this, that it is not standard Army procedure to send soldiers out to be vaporized — not even one at a time, not even if they are hunky and brave and smoke cigarettes and have a cool mythic American nonchalance about their own impending deaths.

This essay about The Hurt Locker, which I wrote in 2011 before driving off to business school, is about my friend Dan’s time in Iraq, violent movies, and the uses of journalism.

Paul Brady: Everything you need to know about leaving for Italy tomorrow

paulbrady:

It was Friday morning when it finally dawned on me that I’d be flying to Italy on Saturday afternoon. Suddenly, I realized how little preparation I’d done and how much needed to happen before my flight. So I emailed Jessica Spiegel, who’s probably one of the world’s most knowledgable people when…

SpiersList resurrected!

spiers:

A few years ago, when I was consulting (pre-Observer) I had a semi-regular mailing list with updates on new projects, positions I was looking to fill for clients, and links to recent things I’d written. It went out once a month or so.

So I’m reviving it. I’ll probably put most of the job listings on Tumblr as well, but if you want to make sure you don’t miss them, probably best to just sign up for the email.

You can sign up here.

As much as it feels like each link leading to the next is a journey of discovery, the economy of the Internet is conspiring to make your needs and desires more predictable, so they can be served more readily, which is to say to the exclusion of random luck.
