Atlantic City Is Really Going Down This time https://longreads.com/2019/02/11/atlantic-city-is-really-going-down-this-time/ https://longreads.com/2019/02/11/atlantic-city-is-really-goi... It has quite a few things I am currently really interested in. I've never been to Atlantic City but it always seemed like an extremely fascinating place with a lot of history. The pressure of the fading desire to gamble and climate change has serious impacts and this article was a great overview of the problems they are facing.

I have revisited this RDR2 review/article https://www.anaitgames.com/analisis/analisis-red-dead-redemption-2 https://www.anaitgames.com/analisis/analisis-red-dead-redemp... - it's in Spanish. The author of the piece recently passed at the early age of 35 and he was such a good writer that I had to go and read this masterpiece once again. If you can read Spanish please read the article. It's an incredibly good read. Rest in peace, pinjed.

Today I came across Cosma Shalizi's review of A New Kind of Science, and his page with 169 book reviews 1995-2018, I've read half a dozen so far, they're all great - he has a very attractive style. A wide range: science, politics, social science, history, philosophy, mathematics.. http://bactra.org/reviews/ http://bactra.org/reviews/
