Sunday morning ritual. Kids today will never understand.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

In London, there's a woman who goes every day on the subway and sits on the dock just to listen to the announcement recorded by her husband in 1950.

Margaret McCollum after the death of her Oswald Laurence, sits on the bench waiting to hear this recording that became one of London's most famous "Mind the gap" (attention the space between the train and the dock).

In 2003, Oswald died leaving a huge void in Margaret's heart. So Margaret found a way to feel his presence closest.

But from the day after more than half a century, this voice was replaced by an empty electronic recording. Out of distress Margaret asked this cassette tape to the London subway transport company to continue listening to her husband's voice at home.

But, knowing the moving history, the company decided to restore the announcement in the only stop near the house where the woman lives, specifically at the Embankment stop of Northern Line, where all passengers can listen today Oswald Laurence's voice and to think that eternal love really exists.

Wonderful gesture by the authorities.

According to a popular Facebook post, British mathematician Alan Turing "is the reason why a chunk is bitten out of the Apple logo."

However, that claim is nothing more than an urban legend. https://t.co/C8j82ztUvU

Tom Brady has more TD passes in his career than John Elway and Joe Montana combined. Fuck it, I’ll give you Don Majkowski too. Still has more.

#OnThisDay in 1957, Elizabeth Eckford, one of nine Black students, attempted to enter Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Unlike the other eight, she had never received the message to stay away from the school,

As she walked toward the school, a mob hurled racist slurs at her and threatened to lynch her, she said. “I tried to see a friendly face somewhere in the crowd — someone who maybe could help. I looked into the face of an old woman and it seemed a kind face, but when I looked at her again, she spat on me.”

The 15-year-old student maintained her cool and kept walking. As she made her way to the high school, a white girl named Hazel Bryan began screaming at her. The tormenting continued after she and other Black students began to attend the school.

She told her story in her memoir, “The Worst First Day: Bullied While Desegregating Little Rock Central High.” She said she believed that racial reconciliation was possible “if we have honestly acknowledged our painful but shared past.”

@SpurlinMs @ABC Lawsuit hasn’t. Lawsuit was just filed. That’s the journalism aspect, the fact that a suit was finally filed.
