☆ Views on affirmative action are split along racial and political lines.
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-29 | by ( Ruth Igielnik | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

But a close look at recent polling on the issue shows that attitudes about affirmative action differ based on whom you ask — and how you ask about it. Most respondents who disapproved of affirmative action said the policy made the admissions process less fair overall, and a narrow majority said it would result in less-qualified students being accepted. Affirmative action supporters, by contrast, largely said it ensured equal opportunity and improved students’ educational experiences. A majority of Asian Democrats who had heard of affirmative action said it was a good thing, while Asian Republicans were more likely to say it was a bad thing. Asian Republicans with a postgraduate degree were nearly twice as likely to disapprove of affirmative action than those with a high school diploma or less.

☆ Supreme Court ends affirmative action in college admissions
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-29 | by ( Jacob Shamsian | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that affirmative action in college admissions was unconstitutional. Earlier Supreme Court cases have upheld affirmative action — the practice of giving additional weight to applicants who belong to groups that have historically been the subject of discrimination — for four decades. Ever since former President Donald Trump cemented a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court, legal experts have expected the Supreme Court to do away with affirmative action altogether. Students for Fair Admissions brought two lawsuits that ended up before the Supreme Court last fall, against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, alleging they discriminated against white and Asian-American students. Every US college and university the justices attended, save one, urged the court to preserve race-conscious admissions.

Born, bred, toasted, buttered, jelly-jammed and honeyed in Harlem.”That’s how Audrey Smaltz, a former model and fashion industry veteran who turned 86 this month, introduced herself to me years ago at a Midtown Manhattan reception. She was the grande dame of the room, floating through it, incandescent, fun and unabashedly flirty. “I had fabulous men in my life,” she told me recently, but in 1999, the Olympic basketball star Gail Marquis, 17 years Smaltz’s junior, asked her out to dinner. Smaltz didn’t think of it as a date and said she had no interest in women at the time. But when Marquis kissed her good night, Smaltz recalled, “it was like kissing a man.” She said, “I couldn’t believe myself,” then laughed, punctuating the thought: “Whoa!”They married in 2011.

Smartphone technology was invented in the early 90s, and the first iPhone launched in 2007, the first Android in 2008. Saying your smartphone usage is an "addiction" can still seem a little dramatic, though. Catherine Price, author of "How to Break Up With Your Phone," writes in her book that the pervasiveness of these behaviors is exactly why they need to be examined. "The fact that these behaviors and feelings are so universal does not mean that they are harmless," Price writes. "Instead, it's an indication that the problem may be bigger than we think."

Juneteenth, long a regional holiday in the U.S. South, rose in prominence following protests in 2020 over police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and other African Americans. Juneteenth, a combination of the words June and 19th, is also known as Emancipation Day. Connecticut, Minnesota, Nevada and Tennessee have made Juneteenth a permanent public holiday for the first time this year, according to the Pew Research Center. In Alabama and West Virginia, Juneteenth has been authorized as a state holiday for this year by a governor’s proclamation.

Cash App transactions also brought in over $203 billion in inflows among 51 million monthly users as of December 2022, according to a Block annual report.

Dads also said they spent about 10 hours a week on household chores in 2016, an increase from four hours in 1965. (Alas, while dads are doing more, a major gender gap persists: Mothers spent about 14 hours a week on child care and 18 hours a week on housework in 2016.) “I think a big reason that what I was doing resonated was that I was honest and genuine about what I was experiencing.”

Millions of Americans use mobile payment apps to pay friends, family and retailers, but they may not know that money held in the apps often lacks federal insurance protection. As more people go cashless, apps like Venmo, Cash App and Apple Cash have gained popularity as an easy way to split a dinner tab, buy stuff at yard sales or pay bills. Use of the apps increased during the pandemic, experts say, as people shifted to online shopping and contactless payment methods. Transaction volume on such apps was an estimated $893 billion last year, the bureau said, and is projected to reach $1.6 trillion by 2027. More than three-quarters of the nation’s adults say they have used one of four popular payment apps, according to the Pew Research Center.

Give those medical chatbots access to people's individual medical records, and they could offer more precisely directed advice.

These steps Carter took during his presidency are still shaping the United States, decades after he left office. Because of Carter’s actions, hundreds of thousands of people fleeing persecution had a chance to come to the United States when he was commander-in-chief. A crisis that began before Carter took office was becoming increasingly dire by the day. That respect, Nguyen says, was earned by actions that Carter took that changed the course of her parents’ lives. “They were only able to do so because of the political courage exercised by President Carter,” she says.
