Webtacular World Issue # 194, August 20, 2017

Greetings Webtaculators! It seems like everyone is quitting: Steve Bannon, Confederate Statues, The White House Committee on Arts and Humanities, hell, even the sun! Maybe they should all go to Burning Man and talk it out. On to the news.

STORY OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: Only The Best
Why: Because Trump’s ability to pick winners continued with Stephen Bannon quitting / being fired this past week. Since we’re counting, this is the fourth major advisor who has been forced out since Trump became President. The fallout this time was at least partially due in part to Trump’s inability to denounce Nazis. Or maybe it’s because he can’t appropriately denounce global terrorism, either. Remember, when anyone says that “both sides” are bad, here is the wrong side.

ECONOMIC THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. read)
What: Great For Business!
Why: Because Trump’s business council quit, too.

LAW THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. read)
What: A Change In Free Speech
Why: Because when the First and Second Amendment are brought to a protest, it doesn’t make sense to back the one that can actually kill people.

SCIENCE THING OF THE WEEK (3-4 min. look, depending on location)
What: There Goes The Sun, Doo-Doo Doo-Doo
Why: Because it’s a solar eclipse tomorrow! Don’t look at it (unless you have these).

SPORTS THING OF THE WEEK (20 sec. watch)
What: When Is A Bicycle Not A Bicycle?
Why: Because cycling with the pedaling is something else.

MOVIE THING OF THE WEEK (10 min. read)
What: RIP Jerry Lewis
Why: Because he was a multi-talented entertainer who managed to bring laughter to many through an ever changing landscape.

MUSIC THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. read)
What: Indie’s Not Dead
Why: Because Grizzly Bear just released a great new album.

PHOTOGRAPHY THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. look)
What: Still Nazis
Why: Because I also have heard people trying to differentiate between Nazis from the 1930’s-40’s and now. Nope, they’re still the same.  And good people are still protesting them.

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: Gotta Go Fast
Why: Because Sonic The Hedgehog actually stars in a good game again.

INTERNET THINGS OF THE WEEK (∞)
What: Watchin The SBEmail; So-Called “Eclipse”; Rick Foo’d
Why: Because Internet.

THING YOU SHOULD GET BRIAN OF THE WEEK
What: Solar Eclipse Glasses
Why: Because Brian deserves it.

Webtacularly yours,
Brian
