The NYT reports that New York Magazine website went off-line hours after posting a story featuring 35 women who have accused the comedian Bill Cosby of sexual abuse and the article was inaccessible on Monday morning. "Our site is experiencing technical difficulties. We are aware of the issue, and working on a fix," the magazine posted to its main Twitter account early Monday morning.
A user called Vikingdom2016 claimed responsibility for a DOS attack on the site and said the attack was based on a hatred for New York, and was not related to the cover that features Mr. Cosby's accusers. As the website remained off-line, editors were working to find other ways to publish the piece, which the magazine said took six months of work.
On Monday morning, the magazine began posting audio related to the cover article on Instagram. The story is available at Web.Archive.Org's Wayback Machine.

For any Bill Cosby fans, I recommend "The truth about Bill Cosby", a 2 hour lecture/monologue that goes over the childhood, life, and career of Bill Cosby. The proctor is a fan of Cosby, but he relentlessly exposes the good and the bad (human) side of Bill Cosby, and even the duality between Cosby's real life and his fictional television life:

Maybe something to listen to while you drive or whatever.

I like how it had an Obama quote with the qualifier that rape happens when a person is given drugs WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE.

My family enjoyed the Cosby Show and his stand up gigs. He was genuinely funny. He turned out to be human after all. Pictures of when he made the Stupid Jello pudding face just aren't funny anymore. Sad.
