NEGLECTING THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF RSN - I love this project. I love the community that we serve. Many of us have been together for over a decade. When I say that we are not getting a "reasonable" degree of support, and that the organization is suffering because of it, take that seriously. These fundraising drives have to be shorter in duration. Three weeks out of every month tied up in fundraising is damaging to everything we want for the project and is counterproductive to the mission. We have to address that. The solution is simple, don't wait so darned long before jumping in. What we are asking you for is $30. in a one time-donation, or $10. on a monthly. That's a fairly low-risk investment in an organization that shows up for work 24x7x365. Our sincere thanks to you. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

Sure, I'll make a donation!

Joshua Keating, Slate 
Keating writes: "The good news is that despite the weird haircut and the Dennis Rodman spectacle-and the very real and horrific ongoing human rights abuses in North Korea - Kim probably isn't crazy. Like his grandfather and father before him, Kim has generally behaved in an predictable and rational way for the ruler of a small, poor country trying to preserve his own grip on power in the face of much more mighty rivals."

Poison Papers: Monsanto Knew PCBs Were Toxic for Years but Sold Them Anyway 
Lorraine Chow, EcoWatch 
Chow writes: "According to documents published by The Poison Papers project, a new online archive of more than 20,000 documents obtained from federal agencies and chemical manufacturers, Monsanto possibly knew as early as the 1960s - at least a decade before the federal ban - that PCBs were harmful to public health and the environment but continued to manufacture and sell the widely used product anyway."
