☆ Paging Dr. Beat! The history behind budots and TikTok’s latest dance trend
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-04 | by ( Harmeet Kaur | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

Emergency!”If you’re up on the latest TikTok dance trends, you may have heard this refrain looped over a wobbly electronic bassline punctuated by high-pitched noises. Beat,” belongs to a Filipino electronic dance music subgenre called budots. It first emerged as a dance and was associated early on with youth drug culture, per Fritz Flores, who wrote an undergraduate thesis on the dance craze. Some scholars have also linked budots dance moves to art forms of the indigenous Badjao people. Though the initial TikTok craze was divorced from the history of budots and its signature dance moves, it also spawned a spinoff trend in which those in the know demonstrated the proper way to dance budots — shining a spotlight on a slice of Filipino culture.

Cameron Spencer/Getty ImagesIt was a sterling version of the signature Olympic race. When the time came, the lights went out in the Stade de France just as the sun had nearly set outside Paris.

Scheffler has won seven of his last 11 outings, all coming in majors or signature events with limited fields. The biggest winner this week was perhaps golf as an Olympic sport.

Sunisa Lee, the all-around champion from the Tokyo Olympics, is the only American in the final of the uneven bars on Sunday, giving her a chance to win the gold medal after leaving Tokyo with the bronze three years ago. She nearly had her U.S. teammate Simone Biles joining her in the final, but only eight gymnasts qualified for the even, and Biles, whose weakest event is the uneven bars, finished ninth. Lee was in tears in Tokyo because she had come to win gold on the bars, her signature event. This time around, Lee — who has made a comeback after being diagnosed with two kidney diseases less than two years ago — might not win gold, either, but for different reasons. Qiu Qiyuan of China — the 2023 world champion on the uneven bars — was second, with 15.066.

☆ Donald Trump’s Attack on Kamala Harris’s Racial Identity - The New York Times
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-01 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Mr. Trump’s combative and disrespectful appearance before an audience of Black journalists displayed the decades-old obsession with racial identity that helped catapult him into national prominence and that continues to define his appeal to the prejudices of some of his most loyal supporters. Disparaging his opponents’ name, appearance, intelligence and gender has always been Mr. Trump’s signature weapon in his grievance-dominated political career. Roger HirschbergSouth Burlington, Vt.To the Editor:Donald Trump’s appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists was a huge success — for him. In trademark fashion, he made outrageous comments not to persuade but to change the focus from the surging candidacy of Kamala Harris onto him. It worked when he questioned Barack Obama’s birth certificate, as it is working now with his questioning of Kamala Harris’s racial identity.

Ms. Harris told The Washington Post in 2019 that she had long been comfortable with her racial identity. Ms. Harris joined Alpha Kappa Alpha, a sorority for Black women, at Howard University, a historically Black university. Ms. Harris failed California’s bar exam on her first attempt in July 1989, according to her autobiography, and received a letter in November that she had failed, “to my utter devastation.” While she did not address her subsequent exams in the book, Ms. Harris was admitted to the bar in June 1990. Mr. Trump is taking outsize credit. It is also worth noting that Mr. Trump did not request the increased funding that the schools received.

The analysis, published July 12 in the journal Science, showed that the two groups exchanged DNA at multiple points over the past 250,000 years, shedding light on how Neanderthals disappeared and potentially rewriting the story of how and when our Homo sapiens ancestors left Africa. Genetic detective workDuring the two earlier waves of interbreeding, the Neanderthal population absorbed human genes and the offspring stayed within Neanderthal groups, according to the new study. Russian archeologists digging inside Denisova cave located in the the Altai mountains that's been home to Neanderthals, early modern humans and the Denisovans. A skull found in Qafzeh Israel is believed to have belonged to an early modern human. The researchers’ analysis suggests that the Neanderthal population size at the time was 20% smaller than previously thought.

But if you're rolling up to a "craft cocktail bar," there shouldn't be a swarm of low-quality spirits. Ridgway said it's common for a bartender to join regulars for a sip of something boozy throughout the night.
