These days, everyone has a social media guy. It's a crucial component of marketing for any modern business, no matter what's being sold: books, cars, food, journalism. Illegal drugs. Since the online illegal drug market Atlantis Marketplace launched six months ago, it's set itself apart with brazen marketing tactics. But it abruptly shut down this week. Now that he's got some free time on his hands, the freelance online marketing expert who was Atlantis' main PR guy was willing to talk to me about hustling drugs in the social media era.

It just became a little harder to buy drugs online. After launching this past April, the drug market Atlantis became one of the most popular places to buy and sell illegal drugs on the Dark Net. Today Atlantis announced it's shutting down because of "security reasons," which should freak out a lot of inhabitants of the shadier places of the internet.

Scientists are reporting the possibility of a lost continent off the coast of Brazil.

NASA's 30-year shuttle program officially ended this morning when Atlantis landed at Kennedy Space Center after a 13-day mission to the International Space Station.

Did last night's episode prove "The Lost Continent Theory"? Richard Alpert has been on the island longer than anyone sans Jacob and the man in black. Is it a coincidence that he originally set sail from the Canary Islands?
