Thanks to @wusa9 for actually talking TO the youth and not AT or ABOUT. Again, your generalizations harm kids like these who are just looking for a safe space to express themselves and find joy in life. We can hold space for accountability without defaulting to prejudice.

"I Swear" subject John Davidson, who has Tourette's syndrome and shouted the N-word at the BAFTAs while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting, speaks out amid controversy: “I wanted to thank BAFTA and everyone involved in the awards last night for their support and understanding and inviting me to attend the broadcast. I appreciated the announcement to the auditorium in advance of the recording, warning everyone that my tics are involuntary and are not a reflection of my personal beliefs. I was heartened by the round of applause that followed this announcement and felt welcomed and understood in an environment that would normally be impossible for me. In addition to the announcement by Alan Cumming, the BBC and BAFTA, I can only add that I am, and always have been deeply mortified if anyone considers my involuntary tics to be intentional or to carry any meaning... I have spent my life trying to support and empower the Tourette’s community and to teach empathy, kindness and understanding from others and I will continue to do so. I chose to leave the auditorium early into the ceremony as I was aware of the distress my tics were causing.” variety.com/2026/film/awards…

FINAL CALL: After exploring countless data and trends, this will be our final map for our winter storm. We continue to forecast 5-8" for DC. We have implemented two significant changes: first, we expanded the 8-12" zone along the Bay. Second, due to higher trends observed across Northeastern Maryland, we have introduced a new 12-18" zone. Additionally, we made some minor adjustments to the 1-3" zone. We have also highlighted where we could see some overperforming snow, but this will highly depend on where this band of snow sets up. This remains a complex forecast and will likely need some nowcasting to help iron out any remaining uncertainties. #vawx #mdwx #dcwx #wvwx
