There are a lot of grifters out there, but few as brazen as David Bunevacz, a former decathlete who fleeced everyone from his friends to the parents at his daughter's equestrian stable to his dentist. My year-long investigation for @RollingStone rollingstone.com/culture/cul…

Scientists warn of the "unintended consequences" of the dire wolf

Had a video chat with some dire wolves last week and spoke to the folks who worked to bring the species back. "You remember, holy shit, that’s the first fucking time in 12,000 years that this species has howled." rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
At a court hearing today, Luigi Mangione said he'd fight extradition to New York on a murder charge. The Manhattan DA's office released a statement saying they'd seek a governor's warrant to secure his extradition. rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
Not one to gush on twitter, but major congrats to the staff of @TheStranger on getting @Hannah_Crinan as EIC. I can confidently speak for everyone who worked with her at Rolling Stone when I say we can't believe your luck. Hurray for good media news!
Yes, it's true! We've been bought.

I once interviewed Jim Jones expert Jeff Guinn about the signs of a dangerous demagogue: They use real grievances to build a following, claim they’re the only one who can fix things, isolate followers from the mainstream, and call the media an enemy. rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
In 2022, I spoke to performers and choreographers in the L.A. dance industry who were concerned their friends working with 7M had joined a "cult," including one krumper who said he'd been in a different high-control group with BDash years earlier. rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
A year later, Aubrey Fisher-Greene and Kylie Douglas shared how they'd left the group and joined a lawsuit accusing 7M and Shekinah Church founder Robert Shinn of running a "cult" where he demanded "full physical and economic control" over his followers. rollingstone.com/culture/cul…

After I first covered the International Churches of Christ late last year, my inbox flooded with messages from people alleging they’d been hurt by the ICOC, through sexual abuse, a culture of control, or conversion therapy. Here are some of their accounts. rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
Former members tell me that while leadership varies among ICOC churches (of which there are dozens in the US), an “authoritarian hierarchy” designed by the group’s since-ousted founder continues to create an environment ripe for the abuse of power
Titan submersible imploded, and officials reportedly heard it happen — days ago rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
At a press briefing on the search for the missing Titan submersible, officials confirmed ‘banging noises,’ which they said continued Wednesday rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
Searchers for the missing Titan submersible heard ‘banging’ from the area, according to internal e-mail updates sent to the Department of Homeland Security leadership and obtained by Rolling Stone. w/ @janawinter rollingstone.com/culture/cul…
“The P8 deployed sonobuoys, which reported a contact in a position close to the distress position," the DHS e-mails read. "The P8 heard banging sounds in the area every 30 minutes. Four hours later additional sonar was deployed and banging was still heard.”
