● Today’s comic by Matt Bors is The NRA's hollow points:
● A little feel-good story for you: Safari West owner had 'a thousand souls' to save from Tubbs fire.
● Newsroom diversity is barely growing at print publications, but doing a little better at online-only ones:
The share of people of color working in the 661 news organizations that took the survey was 16.55 percent in 2017, down slightly from 16.94 percent in 2016. (Things look a little better at online-only news sites: 24.3 percent of journalists working there were people of color, up from 23.3 percent last year.) [...]
Women made up 39.1 percent of all newsroom employees in 2017, compared to 38.7 percent in 2016. (And only up slightly from way back in 2001, when it was 37.35 percent.) Again, online-only news organizations did better than daily newspapers: 47.8 percent of online-only news site employees were women, compared to 47.6 percent in 2016, while at daily newspapers, women comprised 38.9 percent of employees, compared to 38.1 percent in 2016.

● A new classic in mansplaining.
● The Boy Scouts are going to start admitting girls.
● Harvey Weinstein is hoping for a second chance. Is it really a second chance when we’re talking about decades of harassing, assaulting, and raping women? Wasn’t the second chance sometime decades ago after the first woman said no to him and he went ahead and assaulted the next woman? This rat-bastard is just sorry he got caught.
On today’s Kagro in the Morning show: Trump’s a thermonuclear moron. Speaking of bombs, have you seen his polls? Blue slips are dead because Mitch McConnell is an institutionalist. What’s in your black box “antivirus” software? Paula Apynys concludes her series on the Gop as domestic abusers.
