King’s Lost Draft of ‘I Have a Dream’ Emerges From a Desk Drawer nytimes.com/2026/11/09/arts/… via @NYTimes

“A longtime town justice in upstate New York was removed from the bench on Tuesday after the state’s highest court affirmed a disciplinary panel’s finding that he had repeatedly used a racist slur while recounting a personal story.
The judge, Walter W. Jones of Canandaigua, who is white, used the slur outside court in May 2024, while telling a story about a Black man who Mr. Jones said had worked in his grandfather’s cotton fields in Texas during the Depression, the panel, the state Commission on Judicial Conduct, found.
The two people to whom Mr. Jones, 82, told the story — a member of the court staff, and a public defender — testified to the panel that he had referred to the worker more than once as Harry, with the name preceded each time by the slur, a derogatory term for Black people.”:

Forever Twiggy nytimes.com/2026/09/16/style… via @NYTimes
“Twiggy’s famous face launched a thousand commodities, a marketing tool for cosmetics, clothes and lunch boxes. But her real-life story, which unfolds in the director Sadie Frost’s thoughtful 2025 documentary, “Twiggy: The Woman Behind the Icon,” which arrives in America this month, continued long after the youthquake subsided.”

In 1963, the famous photographer Richard Avedon took a picture of a man named William Casby. William Casby, born in 1857, was 106 years old at the time. In his hands, he was holding his great-great-granddaughter, Cherri Stamps-McCray.
The image amazes me because the elderly gentleman holding his descendant so tenderly, was born into slavery more than a century prior. Casby would eventually live until 1970, dying at the age of 113.
His great- and great-grandchildren are alive today, and many of them remember him.
It puts into perspective just how relatively recent slavery existed. Because as faraway and distant as it may feel now. Even in modern-day America, there are people who have active memories of talking to former slaves.

No money for reparations. Yet:
“The U.S. has given Israel about $298 billion (inflation-adjusted) since 1948 (Congressional Research Service, via Congress.gov), and allocated about $175–183 billion to Ukraine's war effort since Russia's 2022 invasion” (CRS; USAFacts).
Trump: They want to steal your money for reparations. Our country doesn't have that kind of money. They have the money for $5000 but they don't have that kind of money. They want to give it to the people who hate our country.

“Education groups indicated they would challenge the new rules. Ted Mitchell, the president of the American Council on Education, said the group will oppose the rule during the Treasury Department’s public comment period.”
