Greetings Webtaculators! I promise I’m not trying to make this a late Monday / early Tuesday thing, it’s just how things are going. On to the news.
STORY OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: It’s Like RAAAAAAIIIN, On A Rainy Day
Why: Because Northern California just had its wettest single day in October in recorded history. This barely put a dent in the state’s water shortage issues, but definitely is better than nothing.
ECONOMIC THING OF THE WEEK (4 min. read)
What: One TRILLION Dollars
Why: Because that’s how much Tesla is worth now after a hundred thousand vehicle order from somehow un-bankrupt Hertz.
LAW THING OF THE WEEK (6 min. read)
What: It’s Like They’re Not Even Trying
Why: Because the Supreme Court continues to do its job poorly.
SCIENCE THING OF THE WEEK (6 min. read)
What: Bring Mammoths Back!
Why: Because no one learned anything from Jurassic Park.
SPORTS THING OF THE WEEK (long read)
What: Yay! Basketball Is Here!
Why: Because there has already been enough preseason drama to host multiple Bravo TV shows.
MOVIE THING OF THE WEEK (1.5 hour watch)
What: The King Of North Sudan
Why: Because my friends Danny Abel and Ben McIntire wrote, directed, and shot this film about a misguided man trying to claim his own country. It is much better than what is going on in the rest of the film industry and real Sudan.

What: Musicians On Musicians
Why: Because Rolling Stone Magazine is doing a neat thing by having artists do long-ish interviews with each other.

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. reads)
What: Single Player Is Back, Baby
