RIP Kaleb Horton, one of the most dazzling, funny, kind, & truly original writers to ever grace this endangered medium. I was lucky enough to edit him for the most popular piece we ever did @theLAndmagazine. A strange poultry odyssey of true brilliance. https://t.co/sPsd0z0Agr

Kaleb Horton died. He had a seizure, I don’t know anything else. He was one of the best writers I ever worked with. I like this picture where it looks like he was 500 feet tall.
