How Larry Gagosian Reshaped the Art World
拉里·高古轩如何重塑艺术世界
from The New Yorker
Patrick Radden Keefe does a (predictably) masterful job of explaining the art market and the ways it’s shaped by whatever dealer Larry Gagosian thinks art is worth. It’s a story about how one person can control an economy and how that economy can control our perceptions of that person.
帕特里克·拉登·基夫（Patrick Radden Keefe）在解释艺术市场以及拉里·高古轩（Larry Gagosian）认为艺术价值如何塑造艺术市场方面做出了（可以预见的）出色的工作。 这是一个关于一个人如何控制经济以及经济如何控制我们对该人的看法的故事。

Philips Kept Complaints About Dangerous Breathing Machines Secret While Company Profits Soared
飞利浦在公司利润飙升的同时对危险呼吸机的投诉保密
from ProPublica
This investigation by reporters from ProPublica and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is smartly and thoroughly reported, masterfully written, wonderfully designed. The idea for the series seems to have started with news we all might have heard—a recall of a breathing machine used by millions—and then set aside. So, yes, I’m jealous! The series infuriates at every turn and had immediate impact.
ProPublica 和《匹兹堡邮报》的记者进行的这项调查报道巧妙而彻底，文笔精湛，设计精美。 这个系列的想法似乎始于我们都可能听说过的新闻——数百万人使用的呼吸机被召回——然后就被搁置了。 所以，是的，我很嫉妒！ 该系列剧每一个转折点都令人愤怒，并产生了立竿见影的影响。

The Republic of Cows
from Hakai
Alaska once hoped to turn the remote island of Chirikof into a bird sanctuary but has since ceded the land to a burgeoning, unruly herd of over 2,000 feral cows and bulls. Jude Isabella embarks on a grand adventure guiding us through a tangled century of beef industry boondoggles and politics that led these animals to their faraway home.
阿拉斯加曾希望将偏远的奇里科夫岛变成鸟类保护区，但后来将这片土地割让给了 2,000 多头野性的牛群和公牛。 裘德·伊莎贝拉踏上了一场伟大的冒险，引导我们度过了一个错综复杂的世纪，牛肉行业的混乱和政治引导这些动物回到了遥远的家园。

A Homeless Man Attacked Him. But Was There More to the Story?
from The New York Times
This story about an attack on a former San Francisco fire commissioner—a far more complicated incident than early headlines gave on—nails how it feels to live there right now. The visible struggles with homelessness and addiction, and the “doom loop” news cycle, can warp perceptions of safety for even longtime residents, despite violent crime being near historic lows. Jesse Barron shows us broader forces shaping the city’s day-to-day realities.
这个关于旧金山前消防专员遭到袭击的故事——比早期头条新闻报道的事件要复杂得多——讲述了现在生活在那里的感受。 尽管暴力犯罪率接近历史低点，但与无家可归和成瘾问题的明显斗争以及“末日循环”新闻周期甚至可能扭曲长期居民的安全观念。 杰西·巴伦（Jesse Barron）向我们展示了塑造这座城市日常现实的更广泛的力量。

Inside Apple’s Plan to Change the Way We Watch Sports
from GQ
As much as I’d love to say they just do puff pieces about jocks in their underwear, the sports department at GQ has been killing it lately. This piece about Apple’s Eddy Cue and his plans to remake sports broadcasts is a prime example. If, like me, you get worked up about robot umps and stoppage time, this is for you.
尽管我很想说他们只是在穿内衣做一些关于运动员的吹捧文章，但《GQ》的体育部门最近一直在扼杀这种做法。 这篇关于苹果公司的艾迪·库伊（Eddy Cue）及其改造体育广播计划的文章就是一个很好的例子。 如果您像我一样对机器人的故障和补时时间感到恼火，那么这就是为您准备的。

ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web
from The New Yorker
There were lots of essays written about ChatGPT in 2023, and it’s not surprising that legendary science fiction writer Ted Chiang is responsible for the best one. Somehow Chiang gets through this whole thing without once suggesting that human extinction is nigh. He focuses instead on an extended metaphor about ChatGPT as an unreliable copy machine. And yet it works.
2023 年有很多关于 ChatGPT 的文章，其中最好的一篇由传奇科幻作家 Ted Jiang 承担，这并不奇怪。 不知何故，蒋经历了这整件事，却没有暗示人类即将灭绝。 相反，他将 ChatGPT 比喻为不可靠的复制机。 但它确实有效。

Disney’s wildest ride: Iger, Chapek and the making of an epic succession mess
from CNBC
The news flowing from the world’s largest entertainment company has been unrelenting since Bob Iger’s return as CEO. But an opportunity many Disney beat reporters missed was delving into the stranger-than-fiction circumstances of Iger’s homecoming, which involved Mean Girls pink sweaters, a hippopotamus and Iger’s office bathroom—including a poster for a Clint Eastwood film about an assassin who comes out of retirement to complete one last task.
自从鲍勃·艾格 (Bob Iger) 重新担任首席执行官以来，来自全球最大娱乐公司的新闻就一直不断。 但许多迪士尼击败记者错过了一个机会，那就是深入研究艾格返校时比小说更离奇的场景，其中包括卑鄙女孩的粉色毛衣、河马和艾格的办公室浴室，包括克林特·伊斯特伍德 (Clint Eastwood) 电影的海报，该电影讲述了一名刺客的故事 退休以完成最后一项任务。

The Crimes Behind the Seafood You Eat
from The New Yorker
There’s shoe-leather reporting, and then there’s what Ian Urbina did for this shocking investigation of the seafood industry. One technique: After chasing down fishing vessels at sea, he tossed over bottles “containing a pen, cigarettes, hard candy, and interview questions. On several occasions, deckhands wrote replies, providing phone numbers for family back home, and then threw the bottles back into the water.” The results are astonishing.

Alone and Exploited, Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs Across the U.S.
from The New York Times
This story shows off the time and care it takes to do huge investigative projects and earn the trust of subjects, and it shines a light on the fact that young kids are illegally doing key jobs to produce meat, bread, etc.—products we buy every day without much thought.

Chinese-Made Electric Cars Arrive Stateside
from Foreign Policy
Great reporting about a Chinese-owned electric-vehicle firm that set up a showroom just blocks from the White House. Since moving to DC, I’d been struck by the feverish EV race amid fears the US was losing out to China. I’d planned to kick the tires on which Chinese firms were already up and running in the US—and then this piece came out. Very nicely done.
关于一家中国电动汽车公司的精彩报道，该公司在距离白宫仅几个街区的地方设立了一个陈列室。 自从搬到华盛顿以来，我对激烈的电动汽车竞赛感到震惊，因为我担心美国会输给中国。 我原本计划对已经在美国成立并运营的中国公司进行改革，然后这篇文章就出来了。 做得非常好。

Our Business Is Killing
from Slate
I read a lot of stuff that horrified, enraged and freaked me out in 2023, but somehow this take from a veterinarian who’s just trying to keep it together is the one that lingers. Perhaps that’s because author Andrew Bullis’ account of a very bad day at the office seems to touch so many other issues, from professional burnout and the mental health crisis to the general sense that American life is increasingly awash in pointless cruelty.

The food industry pays ‘influencer’ dietitians to shape your eating habits
from The Washington Post
Anahad O’Connor, Caitlin Gilbert and Sasha Chavkin at The Washington Post and The Examination bring to light the close ties between influencers, particularly dieticians, and the beverage and candy industries pushing their products. I loved this piece because it digs into something many of us might suspect when we see advice to add a lollipop to a kid’s dinner plate or assurances that aspartame is safe. This excellent investigation brings the receipts.

A Tampa teen was racially harassed by her teacher. He’s bullied students for years.
from Tampa Bay Times
Bethany Barnes’ story is a meticulous and devastating investigation of how a school allegedly let a teacher keep harassing students for years—including calling a biracial student a “mutt”; telling a girl her body was too big to wear shorts; and telling another student, who died by suicide soon after, that he looked like someone who would shoot up a school.

Inside the Meltdown at CNN
from The Atlantic
Tim Alberta’s portrait of embattled CNN chief Chris Licht has many great moments. None better than the spectacle of Licht grinding through a workout while goading his predecessor, Jeff Zucker. In the TV reporting hall of fame, it’s right up there with the legendary scene of Jay Leno eavesdropping from a closet in Bill Carter’s The Late Shift. Wild stuff.

Your Rewards Card Is Actually Bad for You, and for Everyone Else
from The New York Times
In a persuasive opinion video, James Robinson and Emily Holzknecht ask you to take a hard look at your rewards card. Using simple graphics, lively animation and a quirky narrative tone, this piece argues that rewards programs weigh on small businesses and promote inequality among consumers. It also gives actionable advice. All in under six minutes.

The Bing Who Loved Me + Elon Rewrites the Algorithm
from Hard Fork
New York Times tech columnist Kevin Roose recounts his conversation with Bing’s new AI chatbot: “Sydney” wants to be human and steal nuclear codes—and says it’s in love with Roose. Co-hosted by Casey Newton, the episode is incredulously hilarious while framing the questions we’d be asking all year: Why is Gen AI like this, and what happens if we return the love?

AI Is a Lot of Work
from The Verge
There has been so much—so much—written about AI in 2023, but nothing cut through the clatter for me quite like this story. It explained the human power underneath the slick interface, and it gave a window into minimum wage hourly contract tech work. This is AI as a gig economy job, as a user-experience slight of hand, as labor, as a grind. It’s not magic, which made it all finally make sense.

What Happens to All the Stuff We Return?
from The New Yorker
It’s a basic question I’ve asked myself—and with a twinge of guilt, not pondered too closely. Here’s a colorful, sobering and at times chuckle-inducing exploration of the answer, which brings readers into a hidden world of people who deal with and squeeze profit from the crap we ship back.
这是我问过自己的一个基本问题——带着一丝愧疚，我没有仔细思考。 这是对答案的丰富多彩、发人深省、时而引人发笑的探索，它将读者带入一个隐藏的世界，里面的人们处理着我们运回的垃圾并从中榨取利润。

How Modi’s party took over one of India’s most prestigious private clubs
from Financial Times
A hilarious glimpse into the stuffy, elite confines of the formerly “whites-only” clubs that British colonialists set up across India. Filled with wonderfully petty rancor over uneven lawns, damaged gardens and unpaid-for sandwiches, this entertaining “storm in a porcelain teacup” is one of the more unusual windows into Narendra Modi’s quest to reshape the world’s most populous country.

Admire them for their business model: an employee-owned, reader-supported sports blog that produces annual reports to subscribers.

Just, please, I beg you, Lauren Theisen: Avert your wit in the future from my Edmonton Oilers. Loving them is torture enough.

The Sycamore Gap tree held a particularly deep place in people’s hearts
from The Economist
Ann Wroe writes must-read obituaries for the The Economist. She frequently celebrates lives uncovered elsewhere; hence, a Ukrainian fighter pilot or the first bungee-jumper. The piece I’m jealous of for its originality, research and warm sentiment marked the murder of a sycamore. The “Tree of the Year” for 2016 grew for 300 years until it was illegally chopped down. “Its felling seemed like sacrilege,” Wroe wrote.

The patterns of inequality
from Zeit
As part of their “The New City” series about the development of major German cities, Zeit Online looked at the income distribution in large cities through data. By applying one point to each household with different color codes, the series shows the social divide of Germany’s major cities, detailing where the rich and poor live and the boundaries between them. Data visualization at its best.
作为有关德国主要城市发展的“新城市”系列的一部分，Zeit Online 通过数据观察了大城市的收入分配情况。 该系列通过不同颜色代码对每个家庭应用一个点，展示了德国主要城市的社会鸿沟，详细说明了富人和穷人的居住地点以及他们之间的界限。 数据可视化处于最佳状态。

Magnificent Jerk
from Magnificent Jerk Podcast
Host Maya Lin Sugarman blends memoir with careful reporting in this gem of a podcast. In an unlikely chain of events, she unearths secrets about her late uncle, Galen Yuen, a Chinese gangster-turned-Hollywood screenwriter whose opus got whitewashed as a direct-to-video release starring Rob Lowe. I love how Sugarman examines the universally blurry line between fact and fiction in family stories—even the wildest ones.
主持人林璎·休格曼 (Maya Lin Sugarman) 在这档精彩的播客中将回忆录与细致的报道融为一体。 在一系列意想不到的事件中，她发现了有关已故叔叔盖伦·袁的秘密。袁盖伦是一名中国黑帮出身的好莱坞编剧，他的作品被粉饰为由罗布·劳主演的直接视频版本。 我喜欢休格曼如何审视家庭故事中事实与虚构之间普遍模糊的界限——即使是最疯狂的家庭故事。

Selling Saudi Soccer, One Like at a Time
from The New York Times
Rory Smith, maybe more than any sports writer, understands that soccer is about more than soccer. In this newsletter article, he examines how the game is changing and how Saudi Arabia appeared to recognize it before most purists. The piece shows that sports writing—and, really, any kind of writing—is better when seen through the bifocals of culture and history.
罗里·史密斯（Rory Smith）也许比任何体育作家都更了解足球不仅仅是足球。 在这篇时事通讯文章中，他探讨了这项运动正在如何变化，以及沙特阿拉伯如何在大多数纯粹主义者面前认识到这一点。 这篇文章表明，从文化和历史的角度来看，体育写作——实际上是任何类型的写作——都会更好。

The reanimated A.I. corpses of Saddam Hussein, Michel Foucault, and warrior queen Boudica pick winners in the NFL Playoffs Divisional Round
from Substack
AI was the hot technology of 2023, and there’s no better way to showcase a technology’s shortcomings than by asking it to do the dumbest thing imaginable. By pairing a ridiculous tool with a simple ask, Max Read found a hilarious way to show how far AI has to go before taking over the world.

The Kids on the Night Shift
from The New York Times Magazine
This year, Hannah Dreier has been a missile aimed at US child labor, a national shame that has lately grown much larger and more shameful. Dreier has shown in haunting detail how companies whose products most of us buy regularly are pushing migrant kids into their most dangerous factory jobs. I found this investigation, a deep look at the maiming of a 14-year-old in a Perdue plant, the most compelling, but I urge you to read them all.

This piece is a data-driven crystal ball for any twentysomething who’s walked past a Brooklyn brownstone and thought, “Ah, one day.” It’s smartly done and indulgently nosy: Curbed combed through real people’s pocketbooks to find the unexpected expenses that come with “dream” lifestyles—contributions to endowments, paddle court permits, facade restorations.

from This Is Love
This is a joyous listen. Phoebe Judge takes you through the history and mission of the Really Terrible Orchestra of the Triangle, a musical ensemble made up of people prevented from joining other orchestras through lack of talent or other factors. Excellent storytelling about figures at the very heart of the community and the reasons people continue to show up (even if they can’t hit all the notes!).

The Great Scrollback of Alexandria
from The Verge
Could there be a better elegy for Twitter (RIP) than this best-of list?

Plus, I’m jealous of any piece that evokes a visceral emotional response, and this had me laughing so hard my face hurt.

Erewhon’s Secrets

This was the ultimate reminder that you don’t have to be the first to a story, you just need to execute it better than anyone else.

China’s Age of Malaise
from The New Yorker
I’d been in mainland China the month before this vivid account of life under Xi Jinping came out. Evan Osnos so perfectly captures the mood and substance of what I heard in conversations there—“a nation slipping from motion to stagnation”—it’s almost as if he were listening in. (He wasn’t, though Chinese mass surveillance almost certainly was.)

Florida’s favorite grocery store seeks to be uncomplicated in a complicated world
from Vox
It’s been 15 years since I left Florida—and I’ve long lost my pilgrim salt and pepper shakers—but my love for Publix hasn’t faded. Emily Stewart perfectly captures why anyone would adore a grocery store, as well as its controversies, including the hard truth that the Pub sub is overrated, but the cakes are irresistible.

The Retrievals
from Serial
Women’s pain is often dismissed by doctors. I knew this in the abstract sense, of course. But I didn’t know what that dismissal really looked like. Serial’s podcast about women who underwent egg retrievals at Yale University’s fertility clinic without any pain medication is horrifying—not because of the nurse who stole fentanyl, but because so many patients complained about their pain, only to be ignored.Diana Suryakusuma，执行制片人，
