Bon Iver's Justin Vernon on appearing on Taylor Swift's 'folklore' and 'evermore'

Because of the pandemic, Vernon and Swift didn’t meet in person until long after “folklore” was released. “I wasn’t starstruck, I was, like, ‘Wow, you’re somebody that I would have been very close friends with in high school. You’re real and you’re here.’ To see what she’s been up to, the propulsion, the expansion . . . I don’t know, it’s just unlike anything anyone’s ever seen. And yet there she was, this person who made a lot of sense to me.”

CIVIL ACTION

No. 72-911-G

DOCKETED

MEMORANDUM TO THE COURT ON THE INADVISABILITY OF THE USE OF NATIONAL GUARD FORCES IN THE EVENT OF URBAN CIVIL DISORDERS AND UNREST

The purpose of this memorandum is to bring to the attention of the Court quickly and succinctly, by citations to published authority, namely: "Report of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders" 1967 (The Kerner Report) and "The Report of the President's Commission on Campus Unrest" 1970 (The Scranton Report), the overwhelming conclusion that the use of National Guard forces in past cases of civil disorder and unrest was not the appropriate and correct public safety procedure to use but, in fact, was a cause, in itself, of further disorder, confusion, violence and death.

Prompt 16 - Never Forgotten

@jegulus-microfic October 16, Word count 209

James was relaxing with his friends in the Gryffindor Common Room by the fire. They’d had a manic day in Hogsmeade, his pockets were bulging with the latest Zonko products, and he was currently putting the finishing touches on a prank to change all the stone floors throughout the castle to the Gryffindor colours of red and gold when he heard his name being said. 

“Yeah, our Jaime has the worst memory,” Sirius was telling Lily.

“Hey,” James grumbled, offended. “I have never forgotten a thing in my life,” Sirius arched a brow at him. 

“Regulus,” He said simply. 

“Shit!!!” James leapt to his feet and ran out of the Common Room and down the marble staircases. He was kicking himself internally. How could he have forgotten about his date with Regulus?! 

He hurtled down the last set of stairs and into the entrance hall, skidding across the floor and straight into a fed-up-looking Regulus. “Sorry, love,” He apologised and led Reg out of the castle and towards the greenhouses where he’d set up a picnic in the tropical house for them. Hopefully, it would be enough for Regulus to forgive him. He made a mental note to purchase a remembrall the next time there was a Hogsmeade weekend.

“Work or wages” was the motto of several hundred unemployed who gathered in front of City Hall, October 16, 1930, and tried to petition the mayor to find them work. There was some fighting. A few arrests were made, and several were injured. Leaders tried to forcibly enter the building, and were promptly nabbed by the police.
