Hello. The weekend is rapping at your door. It's Friday, July 10. 
On this day in 1934, the American League won the second MLB All-Star Game in New York. I'm more of an NL fan, myself. 
On this day in 1940, the Nazi-puppet Vichy government was established in France. The Vichy government was bad.
On this day in 1958, England saw its first parking meters installed in the streets of London. I hate them.
On this day in 1981, Escape From New York was released. Eh, I've never really liked that movie, personally.
On this day in 1985, Coca-Cola announced it was bringing back old Coke. But New Coke was good!
Balmy, but not embalmed,

SOME GOOD NEWS, FOR ONCE
After this marathon week of fireworks, and last week’s, and those of every week and minute, the inspiring words of Alicia Garza are both timely and timeless. Garza co-founded the Black Lives Matter movement when she wrote “Black lives matter” in a Facebook post almost seven years ago, and she’s featured in an insightful, wide-ranging interview this week by NatGeo’s Rachel Hartigan. Since launching the Black Lives Matter Global Network with Opal Tometi and Patrisse Cullors, Garza has rallied and amplified the voices and lives of countless people who drive change—bearing witness to what has changed, and what still needs to. The interview touches on the construction of the phrase “Black Lives Matters,” the basis for maintaining hope, the ways a movement for change can stay its course, and the unifying threads of collective action, particularly with women leading it. Catch it here, and have a safe, healthy, strengthening weekend, whatever each means to you. (Let us know what each does mean to you, and stories you’d like boosted, at recharge@motherjones.com).
