Reginald T. Jackson, a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the country’s largest majority-Black denominations, and a leading figure at the intersection of religion and Black electoral politics for more than 30 years, has died at 71.
Reginald T. Jackson, A.M.E. Bishop With Political Power, Dies at 71
Influential up and down the Eastern Seaboard, he was part of a long tradition among Black clergy of fighting bias and getting out the vote. “No vote, no clout,” he’d say.

Fascinating story about 70/80s masters being lost to mysterious degradation process. Includes this fascinating tidbit. Has anyone been able to detect the two non-master songs, I wonder.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”
It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

Washpost Opinion (not News) has done a stealth edit of its pro-ballroom editorial.
The original (left) failed to mention that Amazon (whose founder, Jeff Bezos, owns the Post) is a donor to Trump's project.
The new version (right) has it.
No clarification or correction appended to the piece.
