A Note from the Editor:

2 Articles has moved! We apologize for the whiplash. Find 2 Articles at its new home, signaldivision.co/2articles. Same format, different address. A better home—one that doesn't inject a bunch of tracking garbage into links (ahem—Tumblr…). Two articles every weekday at 8 A.M. Eastern. No tracking, no affiliate links. These are for you, not for us.

Editor's note: 5 Articles transitions to 2 Articles as of today, its 13th edition. Two is, I think, more user-friendly—less intimidating, more focused. If you've bookmarked the "5articles" address, future editions won't show up there. You'll need to update your bookmark to this address. Carry on.
