Last week was fun, wasn't it? We had a ton of great content from Pitchfork 2015, including some amazing photos from Vanessa and a stupendous mini video of Chance the Rapper's video from Jeremy. We also published an expose on the CPD's secret agreement with the FBI to purchase cell phone spying equipment from my good friend, Freddy. We also found out that Hulk Hogan is a racist, effectively ending Hulkamania's 30+ year reign. Rumors that LeBron James might star in a Space Jam sequel also came out, but hopefully that won't actually come about. Danielle also reviewed Bojack Horseman Season 2, and while I'm only halfway through the season, I highly recommend it.
You can read all this and more in The Weekly Swarm.

It's yet another rain-filled, gloomy Monday morning in Chicago. The forecast for the week isn't looking too good, and with Pitchfork later this weekend, all I can think of is how muddy and wet we're gonna be. Nevertheless, I'm finally excited for Pitchfork and for the clouds to open up and give us the proper summer we needed after this past winter's dreadful cold.
Last week was a great one here at Ruby Hornet. In case you missed any of our articles, check everything out below in The Weekly Swarm! Some of my personal highlights include Danielle's trip to a Russian bathhouse, Oswald's very personal essay on how The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air changed his life, Hubert's editorial on Cartel Land and how it illustrates the War on Drugs will never end, Angela's photos and recap from Weezer's set at the Taste of Chicago, and the triumphant return of BattleBots!

Welcome to the final June 2015 installment of The Weekly Swarm! Last week was a monumental week for Americans as the Supreme Court finally legalized same-sex marriage, paving the way for a future of better equality and understanding. On the more direct Ruby Hornet path, we released some amazing content last week, such as news that Miles Morales will become the de facto Spider-Man in Marvel Comics, Apple Music's complete 180 on paying royalties to musicians during trial periods (thanks to Taylor Swift), an editorial on whether or not Swift herself is infringing upon photographers' rights, a first-hand experience visiting a Turkish bathhouse, reviews of Inside Out, Felt, Glass Chin, Infinitely Polar Bear, The Face of an Angel, Bully's Feels Like, Midwest Ska Fest 2015's return to the Double Door on August 8th, and an obituary of The Avengers' Patrick Macnee.
You can read all of this (and more!) below in this edition of The Weekly Swarm.
