Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty.

James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history.

Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired.
The wall is still empty.

Here is how our African ancestors in Liberia 🇱🇷 have been curing malaria for decades, but some gullible Africans will tell you that without the white man, we wouldn’t have cured malaria and other diseases. Fool.

A'ja Wilson, TIME100 Sports honoree, is the first Black WNBA player to get her own sneaker in 14 years, since Candace Parker in 2011. We asked her how she felt about it.

This is just a cherry on top of the mind-blowing 2025 Wilson had. The Las Vegas Aces superstar won a record fourth WNBA MVP award. She became the fastest player in league history to reach 5,000 points. And she became the first player in WNBA or NBA history to—deep breath—win a championship, claim the scoring title, and be named Finals MVP, league MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season.

Wilson is on this year’s TIME100 Sports list. From athletes and coaches to advocates and investors, see who else made the list: https://t.co/UWyd2alCq0

Antoni Gaudi died 100 years ago today.

He was 73 and spent over 40 years working on La Sagrada Familia (completing 1/4th of entire basilica).

Gaudi’s method for designing it was genius: he hung movable weights on strings and let gravity do the work of showing the proper angles and force vectors for his nature-inspired look.

He then flipped the model upside down to see how to build the columns and arches.

Also inspired by forests and sea life, the legendary architect once said, “there are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature.”

In the final years of his life, Gaudi’s was solely focussed on the project. His diet was lettuce leafs dipped in milk. Lived inside the Basilica and barely slept on a simple cot.

He died after getting hit by a tram while walking aroudn Barcelona. His clothes was so ratty — underwear held together with safety pins — that passerbys thought he was homeless.

The city held a massive funeral for him with 30,000 people packing the streets.

While 3/4 of La Sagrada Familia was undone, Gaudi left enough plans (models, drawings) for future generations.

La Sagrada Familia was largely dormant for a few decades 1930s-1960s (Spanish Civil War, World War II, early Cold War).

Some of Gaudi’s designs were so ahead his time that it would require the development of aeronautical design software to complete his vision.

Gaudi once remarked that “my client” — referring to God — “is not in a hurry”.

There is still work to be done but a major milestone was completed in February: workers installed a cross on top of La Sagrada Familia, making it the tallest church in the world (172.5 meters or 566 feet).

It’s also the tallest structure in Barcelona. But Gaudi intentionally capped the height because “human creation should not pass God’s work.”

The Montjuïc Hill in the southwestern part of Barcelona is ~570 feet.

After the Civil War, American restaurants found a legal way to hire freed Black workers for almost nothing. The trick was called tipping. Six states tried to ban it. All six failed. The system it created still controls how servers get paid in 43 American states.

Tipping came from Europe, not America. Wealthy Americans started bringing the custom back from their travels in the 1880s, and early Americans hated it. By 1904, 100,000 people had signed a pledge never to tip anyone again. Between 1909 and 1915, six states passed laws making tipping a criminal offense. In South Carolina, accepting one meant jail time. William Scott's 1916 book, The Itching Palm, called it "democracy's deadly foe."

Every anti-tipping law was gone by 1926. The reason traces back to the end of the Civil War, about sixty years earlier. Restaurant and railroad employers had built their business around a simple system: hire freed Black workers, pay them next to nothing, and point to customer tips as the income instead. George Pullman ran a major national passenger rail business and started hiring formerly enslaved men as porters in 1868. He paid them $27.50 a month in 1916 while they regularly worked 400-hour months, less than a dollar a day for shifts that ran 13 hours. Tips were everything.

Congress let it stand. When the first federal minimum wage was created in 1938, restaurant workers were left out entirely. They were added in 1966, but with a built-in loophole: employers could pay servers below the standard minimum as long as customer tips covered the gap. That lower rate settled at $2.13 an hour in 1991. Congress locked it there in 1996 and has not moved it in the 30 years since.

In Japan, tipping is considered an insult. In most of Europe, servers earn full wages and menu prices reflect it. In 43 American states today, restaurants are legally required to pay only $2.13 an hour and leave the rest to whoever walks in. The standard tip has gone from 10% in the 1950s to 20% today, with most screens now suggesting 25 to 28%. The sign in this photo demands 40%. The math behind it has not changed since 1868.
