Ivan Turgenev's "Execution of Troppmann" is a short essay, published in 1870, that gives a first-hand account of the writer attending a public execution in Paris. Turgenev's details how the drunk, unruly crowd turned a somber moment into a carnival. A deeply moving essay; I encourage you to read it.

Car ownership costs an average of $5,851 a year on top of auto loan payments, analysis finds

The cost of insurance, gas, and maintenance or repairs can add thousands of dollars a year to the price of owning a car.

It is a testament to @pablo.show and his team that they haven’t spent the past week dunking on the Clippers like Vince Carter over Frederic Weis. The Clippers spent a year calling their integrity into question — a cardinal sin for a journalist — and as it turns out, they were lying the whole time.

Pablo Torre uncovered the Kawhi scandal and won a Pulitzer. He’s still searching for something more

The Los Angeles Clippers-Kawhi Leonard cap circumvention case as presented on “Pablo Torre Finds Out” has been his masterpiece. It’s only part of his story.

All these things can be true: 1) The U.S. gov (esp.
