Hi everyone. I've noticed this community is a tad inactive, so i'm going to start sharing some of my weekly deep internet dives. I've been online in one form or another since the 1980s, and I really know how to get lost down rabbit holes. Hopefully some of what I find interesting, also interests the rest of you.

Four dead, an ever-expanding list of suspects, dozens of detectives on the case. Three years after the fact, a mysterious shooting in the French Alps has evolved into one of the most confounding, globe-spanning criminal investigations in decades. By Sean Flynn

A harrowing tale of how sensible people find themselves out of their depth, but only after the point of no return.

I have no idea what you want on this sub so I hope this fits!

I randomly stumbled onto this documentary on youtube and ended up watching the whole thing. The guy who created this race is an absolute character, he goes by 'Lazarus Lake', and he's gone on to create more races since this one if you want to continue down the rabbit hole, you can check out his wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_Lake

Now I just randomly throw this documentary on when I need background noise, I love it so much.

ps. just noticed the sidebar says 'read' so if videos are not the best then feel free to remove! good luck with this community, looking forward to it
