The wounds haven’t healed. Deadly clashes during a 2017 white supremacist gathering in Thomas Jefferson’s city still sow division, and the municipality unsurprisingly denied a permit to mark the rally’s anniversary Sunday. Instead, White nationalist Jason Kessler expects 400 followers to join him in Lafayette Park — in front of the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue — for a “White civil rights rally.” Police will be out in force to separate them from thousands of expected counterdemonstrators, and Kessler admits some sympathizers are “very scared for their safety” and might stay away.

“Knock it off.” That’s what voters were saying Tuesday, opined Ohio Gov. John Kasich. In a reliably red 12th Congressional District, enough voted for Democrat Danny O’Connor to put him within a percentage point of GOP hopeful Troy Balderson, with votes uncounted. Kasich said the electorate wanted to “stop the chaos, the division,” and they blame his fellow GOP members. Meanwhile, Republicans were divided in Kansas, where Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a key ally of President Donald Trump, recused himself Friday from supervising counting votes in his tight GOP primary challenge to Gov. Jeff Colyer.

They believe he was suicidal. That’s what authorities said about the 29-year-old Horizon Air ground service agent who took a 76-seat Dash-8 turboprop airliner, took off alone and died crashing the plane on an island in Puget Sound Friday evening. The unauthorized 40-mile flight from Seattle’s Sea-Tac Airport prompted two military jets to scramble to escort the stolen aircraft. Air traffic controllers can be heard in radio transmissions attempting to provide landing instructions to the man, who responded “I was kind of hoping that was going to be it.”

Adem yoq. It’s what ethnic Uighurs of western China are saying these days: Everybody’s gone. Over the last 18 months, they’ve been disappearing off the streets of central China and their home province of Xinjiang. Gene Bunin, a Uighur language scholar, spent those months traveling the region, speaking to acquaintances amid an “Orwellian police state.” Many people he once knew have “gone home” or are “studying,” he was told, meaning relocated or confined to re-education camps. The government says it’s fighting terror. Uighurs brave enough to speak out say their identity is being erased.

The Week Ahead: Today NASA is to launch its Parker Solar Probe, which will become the fastest spacecraft ever when it nears the Sun, traveling at 430,000 mph. Golf’s top players will finish the PGA Championship on Sunday. And President Trump plans to sign a $716 billion defense spending bill on Monday.

Know This: Turkey’s president says President Trump is waging “economic war” by doubling of metal tariffs to punish Turkey for holding a U.S. pastor. Jurors in San Francisco ordered Monsanto to pay $289 million to a cancer victim exposed to the universally used Roundup weed killer. And tens of thousands of Romanians protested against low wages and government corruption Friday, sparking clashes with police.

About 27 percent of Japan’s population is over 65. So it’s no wonder that the 2016 book The 100-Year Life — which advocates urgent preparation for a time when millions live for a century — became a best-seller there. It’s sparked an important debate and convinced many there’s opportunity in an aging population. That includes manufacturing cool exoskeletons to help older workers with heavy lifting. Now the book’s coming out as a manga comic, preaching a gray lining to a wider audience as other aging nations take notes.

As the second record-breaking fire season in a year scorches California, 16 scientists are warning that colleagues have underestimated climate change’s likely pace. Their report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences warns that feedback loops may realize a “Hothouse Earth” scenario, quickly warming the planet four degrees Celsius above normal. That’s enough to render most of the populated world uninhabitable from desertification and flooding. It was once a theory discussed mostly on the fringes of science, but today, at one degree and counting, it’s generating serious concern.

Is it “essentialism,” or just a broom closet for $220 a night? The “micro” hospitality phenomenon isn’t new: Small rooms in boutique hotels have existed for decades, but this new subgenre seems to fill a niche, so to speak. Millennials, it’s said, prefer “experiences,” not hanging out in their rooms. So communal spaces have gotten bigger and hipper, with ball pits and minigolf, while rooms have become “cabins” that barely encapsulate a bed, shower, toilet and sink. The question is, can a rooftop bar with a stunning view replace a solid night’s sleep?

Riot Games, the creator of League of Legends, with 100 million monthly players in 2016, found itself defending the company’s corporate culture this week after a Kotaku journalist’s investigation uncovered ingrained sexism behind its “meritocracy” ethos. The months-long probe featured men and women at the LA-based firm saying its emphasis on employing “core gamers” favored male “Rioters” who represent 80 percent of employees. The piece prompted past Riot workers share other accounts, including sexual harassment, while Riot Games responded that its staff “must be accountable” for fostering across-the-board equal opportunity.

Once an effective surprise tactic for college offenses, the RPO — which allows the quarterback to choose from three different moves after the snap — is becoming a predictable mainstay. That means defenses at universities across the country are now devising ways to neutralize the once-rare play. “The more we get exposure to it, the easier it will be to stop,” says University of Florida linebacker David Reese II. Being a bully and pressuring the quarterback to choose quickly is one countertactic he advises, along with practice, practice, practice.
