Vanish
I shared my plans with no one, not my girlfriend, not my parents, not my closest friends. Nobody knew the route I was taking out of town, where I was going, or my new name. If I got caught, it would be by my own mistakes. What does it take to disappear in the digital age? In 2009, writer Evan Ratliff vanished, and Wired magazine offered its readers $5,000 if they could track him down. Thousands joined in on the month-long manhunt...

The Last Nude Issue of Playboy Comes Out Today
Friday marks the final issue of Playboy containing images of naked women. The magazine chose Pamela Anderson to be the last naked cover model, announcing on its website in early December: “To close out this era in the magazine’s history, it only made sense to put the most famous Playmate in Playboy history on the cover: Pamela Anderson.”

Wired debuts ad-free website to appease ad blockers
More than 1 in 5 people who visit Wired Magazine's website use ad-blocking software. Starting in the next few weeks, the magazine will give those readers a choice: stop blocking ads, pay to look at a version of the site that is unsullied by advertisements, or go away. It's the kind of move that was widely predicted last year after Apple allowed ad-blocking in the new version of its mobile software, but most publishers have shied away from it so far.

Is this the most controversial magazine cover about the migrant crisis?
The right-wing Polish weekly magazine wSieci (The Network) has caused outrage with its latest front cover. The publication features the image of a white woman, draped with the European Union flag, screaming as she is being groped and assaulted by dark skinned male arms. Twitter users have compared the images with fascist propaganda in Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s Italy, which used images of women being attacked by...

80 Books No Woman Should Read
A few years ago, Esquire put together a list that keeps rising from the dead like a zombie to haunt the Internet. It embodies the whole mission of that magazine so far as I can tell. The magazine’s monthly instructions are not aimed at me, so I know the magazine mostly by the taglines and tarted-up ladies on on its cover. But I did just read Esquire’s list… By Rebecca Solnit.

A Western Movie Morph
I like John Wayne, but those old Westerns don't look much like the Old West to me; they look like the 50s and 60s. It's like they never bothered to look at the old pictures back then and get the clothes, guns, and saddles right. Maybe it's petty, but I always preferred the real stories of our history to the legend. The truth was legendary enough.

A personal tour of MAD magazine, in the crucible of a young life
Inside the lobby of MAD magazine was an orange naugahyde couch, an old standing ashtray next to it, like the kind in train stations when people dressed up to travel, and a larger-than-life statue of Alfred E. Neuman, patron saint of adolescent parody, in a pith helmet and safari fatigues. Dad approached the nonplussed receptionist and, with all the insincere aplomb of the 1960s campus subversive he is and always will be, said directly, "We're here for the tour," and waited for the answer. We got it.
