Saturday Links! Maybe It’s Won’t Be a Month Between Linkposts Every Time!
* CFP (Journal of Futures Studies): “When is Wakanda? Afrofuturism and Dark Speculative Futurity.”
* Summer Course! ENGL 4717: “Twenty-First Century Comics”! Fall Courses! ENGLISH 3000 (“Magic and Literature”) and ENGLISH 6820/8282 (“Monsters of Theory”)!
* All the Dem candidates as Michael Scott is the most accurate thing I have ever seen.
* But a couple of scientists who study Mars are trying to burst that hermetically-sealed, oxygen-recirculating, radiation-shielded bubble. If a new analysis is correct, conditions on Mars make it impossible for existing technology to turn it into a garden of Earth-like delights.
* Trump Is Trying To Change The Meaning Of Instructor, And It’s Not Good.
* Flooding at an Air Force Base Exposes a Growing Threat to the US Military. The Midwest floods are going to get much, much worse. Terrifying map shows all the parts of America that might soon flood.

absolutely love it when people argue that climate change action can't be too disruptive as if climate change, left unmitigated, isn't going to be the single most disruptive event in human history. it's almost as if they don't actually believe in it

* Struggling to stay alive: Rising insulin prices cause diabetics to go to extremes.
* ‘I made $3.75 an hour’: Lyft and Uber drivers push to unionize for better pay.
* First leaks coming out now from the Mueller report and it’s not looking good.
* And Barbara Streisand has some of the most odious opinions on any subject I’ve ever seen. I’m still floored hours later.
