Nicely done comic book vibes here, some really nice design touches throughout.
This incredible essay/comic by Kristen Radtke takes the history of the baby monitor and turns it into something else. (Also visually, a very tight piece of web engineering!)

Think of the drug trade, and you might think of rigid hierarchies run by drug lords like Pablo Escobar or Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. Today, the reality is far more complex.

A few stories from a Russian organization, Idite Lesom ("Go by the forest"), which helps Russians desert from the military. These really say a lot about modern Russia.
