Actual double post. I love this thread and I wish I contributed more. Are there websites folks normally get stuff from? Writers? Would it help to collect more info in the op? I would like to support more good journalism and if that would also help me post more articles, I’d like that

Yes, longform.org is a good one. Current Affairs tends to have lots of good long pieces too.

Stephen King's early novel The Long Walk is essentially this right down to messing with your mind at the finish, except they shoot you dead for going too slow in it.

I absolutely love backyard ultras. They're exactly my kind of nuts. Not an article but here's a video of one in WA, Australia that is 6.71km loops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtomQ_Y38CA

The bizarre monotony of that makes me think of the San Quentin Marathon: 105 laps around the prison yard (one of the guys mentioned in this article, Rahsaan Thomas, is now one of the hosts of the podcast Ear Hustle). https://www.gq.com/story/san-quentin-marathon

"Sewage fungus is not what the wine industry wants people to think of when they sip a sauvignon blanc." An environmental problem I never knew existed. It is interesting to see the interaction between big business, local government, academics, and green start-ups.

The Search for a Ranger Who Was Lost and Never Foundquote:Paul Fugate was last seen around 2 P.M. on Sunday, January 13, 1980, when he stepped out of the visitor center at Chiricahua National Monument, in southeastern Arizona, wearing his standard Park Service uniform and Red Wing boots and carrying a green down parka. “I am going to do a trail,” he announced to an aide. If he wasn’t back by 4:30, she should close up without him. No trace of Fugate was ever conclusively found. Investigators formed theories. Many make perfect sense. At the same time, they can all be disproven. Was Fugate murdered, did he willingly disappear? And who was involved with the outcome?

It's not. Everyone other than specific trained people with the company who makes the machine are Not Allowed to access that information in McD's mind, though, and they get a hair up their rear end when the article subjects start to change that.

It's because a franchise owner is going to bypass the cleaning cycle or do some half assed repair and McDonald's has to deal with the blowback when some foreign object or bug ends up in a shake.

You joke, but I’m pretty sure whoever wrote this retrospective of Bathory’s third album is exactly the type to sit in a big chair with a tumbler of brandy. https://thequietus.com/articles/22420-bathory-under-the-sign-of-the-black-mark-review-anniversary

Admittedly I botched the joke and should have picked a more contemporary music style but I’m so old and out of touch I couldn’t think of a good one, so just insert whatever in place of black metal.
