Wow, that’s quite a reaction to our post earlier this evening saying that we will publish some of the confidential Twitter documents we’ve been forwarded. Nearly 200 comments in a little over an hour, mostly saying we shouldn’t publish. Hundreds of Tweets , and it has become a trending topic. There’s even a poll asking people if we should post the documents or not. Let’s put aside the highly sensitive documents that we aren’t going to publish, but which will likely end up on the Internet anyway.

Hard-living, cop-dodging New York collage artist, photographer, and graffiti writer Dash Snow has died of a drug overdose at 27. Gawker broke the news this morning and now the Times has received confirmation from Snow’s grandmother, art collector Christophe de Menil, that he passed away last night at downtown hotel Lafayette House. According to De Menil, he’d been in rehab in March and had only recently started using again. Snow became an emblem of the downtown art scene after being profiled by Ariel Levy in a 2007 New York cover story.
