Link Party: 8/15-8/19

Here’s what I read this week:

1. The precarious future of the Grand Canyon.

2. What will be the Chipotle of pizza?

3. A legendary rock climber’s strange brain.

4. Madeline Gins and the theory of Reversible Destiny.

5. The mountain lions of Los Angeles.

And a bonus: If you have Apple Music, you should watch Frank Ocean’s Endless. I think it was entirely worth the wait.

And in honor of my birthday, do me a favor — do something this week that makes you feel fantastic.
