The Business of Building Roller Coasters - Priceonomics
The inventor of everything - The Verge. P.T. Barnum was right. Even with venture capitalists. See also, A Silicon Valley Disaster: A 21-Year-Old Stanford Kid Got $30 Million, Then Everything Blew Up - Business Insider.

What Happened to Canada? - n+1. For Americans concerned about Keystone XL and tar sands imports, realize that the U.S. has exported asshole conservative policies to the Great White North.

Field of Dreams at 25: The Making of the Movie - Des Moines Register. Damn, I'm old. The pictures from 1988 look like the '70s more than they look like today (which makes sense mathematically). 1989 was a hell of a year for baseball movies. When I went to the theater to watch 'Field of Dreams,' 'Major League' was playing on the screen across the hall.
A Detroit sports threefer: Bad Boys and Good Times, Saving Tiger Stadium (also see this), and The Once and Future Saint - Grantland. I was a huge fan of the Bad Boys (especially Bill Laimbeer), I stopped by The Corner when I visited Detroit a few years back, but I hadn't heard of St. Cecilia's gym.
