Protesters swarmed the steps of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Thursday night to express anger over the deaths of two black men who were shot by police.

On Wednesday night, the girlfriend of Philando Castile shared graphic footage on Facebook of the 32-year-old man bloody and slumped over after being shot during a traffic stop. This came a day after a video was released of Alton Sterling, 37, getting pinned to the ground by two officers and shot. 

In response, protests have been staged in cities across the country. They were especially passionate in Washington, D.C., where the protesters broke through the barriers surrounding the Capitol Building. Read more...

      Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
