Greetings Webtaculators! So the President’s on vacation, which means that the U.S. gets to deal with way less of his inability to govern for the next 15 days or so. At least, assuming that any more information doesn’t leak out of his administration, including his own VP apparently looking to run for his position. At least we’re not Venezuela. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (5 min. read)
What: Winter Is Closer
Why: Because North Korea is continuing to develop its ICBM capabilities.

ECONOMIC THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. read)
What: Karma Sucks For Shkreli
Why: Because the “Pharma Bro” was found guilty of fraud.

LAW THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. read)
What: The Grandest Of Juries
Why: Because Muller’s impaneled grand jury suggests the case against Trump is growing in scope. This is what a grand jury does.

HEALTH THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: The Opioid Crisis
Why: Because it seems like the leaders of this administration are more concerned with going after a drug that has not really killed anybody. Weird how Jeff Sessions’ task force disagrees with him as well.

SPORTS THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: Faster Than A Bolt
Why: Because Usain Bolt is no longer the fastest man in the world. It is also interesting when photo finishes are taken near the beginning of the race.

MOVIE THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. read)
What: Not As Bad As You Think
Why: Because I love the Dark Tower series. This movie kinda sorta takes what happens in the first three books and mushes them together into something that is not nearly as ambitious as the source material. It is not a good movie, but is definitely enjoyable as its own thing.

MUSIC THING OF THE WEEK (10 min. watch)
What: Starting On 7/8
Why: Because only Radiohead can make a song harder than it should be.

PHOTOGRAPHY THING OF THE WEEK (long look)
What: Time To Travel

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (10 min. read)
What: Taking Games Seriously

INTERNET THINGS OF THE WEEK (∞)

Why: Because Internet.

THING YOU SHOULD GET BRIAN OF THE WEEK

Webtacularly yours,
Brian
