In a new documentary, The New York Times found that reckless breeding and doping practices — and decades-long resistance to changes that could save the lives of horses — have placed a multibillion-dollar ecosystem in peril, and put horse racing at risk. nyti.ms/4dkXDll

Low tide in the Pyrenees ... The ever-growing extent of snowmaking infrastucture seems ludicrous in the face of global warming.
