* Been waiting for this one for a while: Chris Ware talks Rusty Brown.
* Boots Riley has a key read on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that has been left out of nearly every review or thinkpiece I’ve seen. Here’s one thinkpiece that does take it up.
Re Once Upon A Time In Hollywood:
The Manson Family were overt White Supremacists who tried to start a race war w the goal of killing Black folks.
They werent "hippies" spouting left critiques of media. They were rightwingers.
This fact flips Tarantino's allegory on its head.

* Elsewhere on the Tarantino beat: Box Office Milestone: ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ Crosses $200M Globally, one of only two non-franchise films to earn that much this year.
* What Satellite Imagery Tells Us About the Amazon Rain Forest Fires. The Amazon Cannot Be Recovered Once It’s Gone. Why Are We Even Responding to John Delaney? The Democrats are climate deniers.
The liberal order doesn’t even have a way to say “now, now, Mr. Bolsonaro, that’s not nice” when the future is at stake.

* Summer on the swollen Great Lakes.
This. Climate reporting should be a major beat with serious devotion of resources. It takes connecting many particular human experiences to global transformation to make change. https://t.co/J2sd5dyKr8

* The Bone Thief died. :( David Koch Was the Ultimate Climate Change Denier.
* The Very Real Possibility of President Elizabeth Warren.
* We got him! I’d like to see Ole Donny Trump wriggle out of THIS jam!
* Northern Ireland is already spiralling out of control but no one is paying attention.
* When Your Rapist Demands Custody.
* Gamergate will always be with us.
Such an ending would imply that the ludicrous caricatures we imagine into existence to justify our preposterous wars with each other are, actually, just the pretexts we want and need to justify violence. In other words, it would skewer movies like The Hunt, and the ideological fantasies that divide the country into red and blue caricatures. If The Hunt seems to take a side — endorsing, by all indications, the worldview of its “deplorable” protagonists — Ready or Notnearly ends by suggesting that the stories we might tell ourselves to normalize violence are nonsense.
Instead, as it turns out…
* An update on a bizarre story: Ugandan mothers want justice for their children who died in care of an unlicensed American health worker.
* When You Can’t Afford School Lunch, the Toll Is More Than Just Physical.
* Insulin Prices Killed Josh Wilkerson. Now His Mother Is Taking On Big Pharma.
* Negative interest rates are coming and they are downright terrifying.
* Hellen Keller was a revolutionary socialist who wanted to abolish capitalism lol

* Fairy stories have always been radical.
* The legality of owning a kangaroo in the United States. Kudos to Wisconsin for keeping freedom alive.
* And, finally, the story that never needed to be told is here!
