What an incredible story on some groundbreaking experiments altering what we know about death. Read Esther’s amazing feature for @PopMech.

Esther Wei-Yun Landhuis @elandhuis

Most mind-bending feature I've written! Thx to editors @mazzmedia @jacquidetwiler for giving it life (literal & storytelling); to Nenad Sestan & David Andrijevic @YaleMed for explaining their research (reviving cells in vital organs of dead pigs)... 1/2 https://t.co/CwGIvwDlNs

Hiring a features editor to develop engaging, long-form narratives for Popular Mechanics and other Hearst Enthusiast Group titles. This is a really exciting new role that will focus on producing features for our digital editions and web sites. https://t.co/RrebyxVTew

📡 Looking for feature pitches for some upcoming issues of PopMech. Most wanted: Narratives and robust service on deep space, military machines, lost treasures, battery tech, immortality, and unnatural disasters.

Like many of us, I'm saddened by the death of Richard Moore. I worked with him briefly, intensely, on a series he wrote for us a while back about Merckx and loved every damn minute of it. He brought warmth, care, joy, humor, to the story and to every conversation we had about it.

Really great job here for an experienced editor who loves gear: https://t.co/oWTvhLt8lW

Just hired someone (for Bicycling) who I've been a fan of for a long time. Going to be an amazing addition to a staff of editors I'm already a huge fan of. Just so excited right now.

More exciting job news for PopMech: Hiring a full-time consumer tech / home goods editor on the test and reviews team. Position is in our new Easton, PA, Test Zone. https://t.co/o0cSojwPek

Looking for a few (or maybe even a lot of) gear-loving freelance writers and editors to work on PopMech as we expand our coverage of tools, outdoor gear, consumer tech, appliances and lawn and garden equipment. If you know anyone, send them my way.

Dammit, Bike deserves better than a corporate shuttering and Friday-evening furloughs. The appropriate course of action here would be to steamroll the thing, set it ablaze, toss it from a cliff, and then launch it out of the biggest fucking trebuchet one can find.

My cycling friends, please read and share this. We have work to do.

On a MTB ride at dusk, my first in a while, I catastrophically flatted a tubeless tire. Fixing it—dumping sealant, wiping it clean with a big oak leaf, punching out a stuck valve with a flat rock—took forever. But the gritty realness, a specter of the past, felt so fucking good.

I rode today, a Saturday in deer season, without wearing a speck of orange. Sometimes I will, but not today. In shape or movement, I don’t look much at all like a deer or bear or turkey and that should be enough.

This week, my rad little MTB club hatched plans to develop a new trail fully designed and built by women, and was awarded a six-figure grant to build a separate badass trail. I don’t even know how to feel. It’s like being shaken by an earthquake for the first time. It’s seismic.
