Pierce looking out from the aquarium that is his life, questioning what it is he's even seeing. He writes, in reaction to a shooting in Albuquerque over a monument, and an incident in New York involving police and a Shake Shack: "This is really time for serious national leadership, which I seem to recall as having been something valuable. Instead, we've got a president* who seems to relish stoking this unrest, a supine Republican Party that's just trying to get to November without disintegrating entirely, and general prayer rising in the country that we just get through another day without a mass casualty event, or yet another African-American citizen's dying in dubious circumstances."

Athletes and entertainers are on the march, making themselves heard on the issues of police brutality and racial discrimination in the criminal justice system. Commissioner Roger Goodell has apologized on behalf of the National Football League for the response among owners and league brass to the national anthem protests led by Colin Kaepernick. He's welcomed Kaepernick back to the league. Now that folks have finally stopped for a minute and listened to what athletes are actually saying, they've found it makes a whole lot of sense. Ah, Kaepernick isn't actually attacking "the flag" or "the military," he's trying to call attention to the fact that black Americans do not enjoy the full rights of citizenship? It's almost like that's what he was saying the entire time. Oh, and NASCAR banned the Confederate flag. Nobody's sticking to sports, and everyone's better for it, writes Esquire's Jack Holmes.

The brim might be slightly crushed, or covered in a thin dusting of sand. The color might be all faded and uneven. The emblem on the front might not be one anyone but those intimately familiar with your family's travel itinerary would recognize. You know the vibes. The truth is, we can't find that cap for you. That's a one-of-a-kind piece, as rare to encounter as the spirit of summer itself, and no less difficult to artificially manufacture. What we can do, though, is help you track down a hat that comes close to approximating that cap's essential summeriness—a kindred spirit of a cap, if you will. Esquire's Avidan Grossman put in the work here.
