When the Fox News Channel launched in 1996, critics called it disorganized, incompetent, and laughably inept. But, during the 2000 election, it captivated the nation – and just maybe changed the fate of American democracy.

This is what it sounds like when pop’s fly: Hit Parade is back from our late-summer break, and the new episode is about the hits of 1984, which has been called “Pop’s Greatest Year.” Four decades ago, a confluence of factors—the comeback of dance music, the peak of MTV, the Second British Invasion and the emergence of metal and hip-hop—made the radio a great place to be in the year of Prince and Bruce, Madonna and Cyndi, Tina and Lionel, VH and DD. I dissect eight reasons why 1984 was awesome for pop fans and walk through all 20 of the year’s No. 1 hits, from “Jump” to “Hello,” “Karma Chameleon” to “Caribbean Queen,” “Let’s Go Crazy” to “Like a Virgin.” Join me as we travel back to a year when rain was purple, feet were loose, the reflex was a lonely child and girls just wanted to have fun. ☔️📺👩🎤 LINK: https://lnkd.in/eBKgcKQS

You’re not just imagining it. June and July had the highest global temperatures on record for those months. And according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, this summer we passed the 14th month in a row that saw such record temps. That’s the longest streak yet. We’re changing the planet. And now, those changes are changing us. As the temperature gets brutal, we’re learning to adapt, in ways large and small. Sometimes, despite our efforts, the results of the heat are scary—and even tragic. Climate change is here, and this is only the beginning.
Ten Ways the Heat Is Changing Us—Some Small, Some Horrifying

"A common refrain I hear from acquaintances when talking about politicians like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton is 'I just don’t like her.' I usually try to ask why, but my interlocutor never has a reason, at which point I usually jump down his throat (it’s almost always a man) and insist that he doesn’t like her because of sexism (and/or racism). I win no friends this way, I’ll tell you! What is a better response? I know I am alienating people by jumping to that conclusion, but honestly, it’s just so obvious to me!!" This is part of Wedge Issues, a pop-up advice column about politics, running now through the election. Read the advice below.
So Many Men I Know Keep Saying the Same Thing About Kamala Harris. I’m Not Sure How to Respond.
