SELLING GUNS, DRUGS, AND MURDER ON THE DARK WEB
Should it be legal to sell mild drugs, like weed and magic mushrooms, on the Internet? What about heroin? Handguns? AR-15s? Even murder-for-hire? Nick Bilton sits down with Tom Conrad, former V.P. of product at Snap and co-founder of Pandora, to discuss Bilton’s book American Kingpin; if Silicon Valley C.E.O.s are moral at heart or more concerned with their profits and their legacy; and if Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road Web site, is any different from other C.E.O.s in tech.

Trump tried to make the Philadelphia Eagles a culture war. Then Fox News fumbled it.
Fox News tried to run with Trump’s lies about the Eagles. It ended up insulting Christians.
President Trump canceled an invitation to the White House for the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, saying that “staying in the locker room for the playing of our National Anthem” was “disrespectful.”
This explanation, however, makes no sense. No Eagles players ever stayed in the locker room during the national anthem, nor did any players kneel during the regular season or the playoffs.
And when Fox News tried to pile on by showing footage of players it claimed were protesting during the national anthem, it backfired — because those players weren’t protesting; they were praying.
