A blend of pride and protest THE DISTRICT On the eve of the Capital Pride parade, a group of self-described dykes will march through D.C.’s streets for the first time in 12 years, blocking traffic, waving flags and demanding to be seen. Organizers say it’s a longawaited return for the D.C. Dyke March, which vanished after 2007 despite a deep history in Washington. The march bills itself as a more radical, inclusive and social justice-oriented protest than the glitter-soaked pageantry of Saturday’s Pride Parade. Friday’s march seeks to celebrate groups of people who organizers said typically are excluded from messaging around Pride, including those of various races, religions, socioeconomic classes and gender identities. “All people should have a space to celebrate themselves, but I feel like at this moment in D.C. there is definitely a demand for a more inclusive way to display pride and protest,” says organizer Laila Makled. “We really wanted to bring the Dyke March back as that act of protest to show there

are a lot of different issues that involve the LGBTQ community that may or may not be the queerspecific issues you see being addressed at other Pride events.” March organizers said bringing the march back was needed as services, legal protections and establishments that cater to LGBTQ people have eroded. And in rapidly gentrifying D.C. neighborhoods, organizers said, LGBTQ people are increasingly at risk of being pushed out. This year’s march will focus

on a theme that organizers said is not exclusive to the LGBTQ community: displacement. “We wanted this event to ring true to everyone — even people who might be walking around unsure of why there are so many interesting-looking women and other folks blocking traffic during rush hour on a Friday,” said lead organizer Mary Quintero-Wright. “Displacement is a queer issue.” About 730 people have indicated on Facebook they will attend the march, which begins at 5 p.m. at McPherson Square. Dyke Marches have served as a prelude to Pride since the 1990s in cities around the country, including Chicago and New York. But the first was in Washington. Using the word “dyke,” which has commonly been used as a slur for lesbians, was an intentional choice, participants said, adding that reclaiming the word felt empowering and radical. “Even if you were bisexual or trans, you could still be a dyke,” said Jessica Xavier, 67, a transgender activist. “Dyke is political. It’s an identity queer women could use as a means of our own empowerment, and having the march was this way to share in our queer sisterhood together.” MARISSA J. LANG (THE WASHINGTON POST)

July 4 plans, citing security and logistics concerns. Trump, however, wants to refashion the event as “A Salute to America,” after two years of attempts to hold a patriotic display around him and his supporters. Last month, Bowser said she hoped the president would refrain from divisive rhetoric if

he appeared on the Mall. “The president can speak at any event that he wants to speak at,” Bowser said. “And my great hope would be that he recognizes that the event is a unifying event that celebrates the birthday of our nation.” The Trump administration also plans to move the fireworks display from the usual location on the Mall to West Potomac Park. The event may feature a second entertainment stage in addition to the standard free concert near the U.S. Capitol. Kim Dine, former assistant D.C. police chief and former U.S. Capitol Police chief, said the president’s speech could make it difficult for people to watch both the speech and fireworks. “Managing large crowds is doable, but difficult,” Dine said. “And when you have the added challenge of VIP presence, or POTUS presence, and the massive amount of security that attends to him, that adds significantly to the whole equation.” Public presidential appearances are still rare in D.C. for security reasons. No president has participated in a July 4 celebration on the Mall in recent memory. FENIT NIRAPPIL, PETER HERMANN AND PETER JAMISON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The president had previously floated the idea of speaking at the nationally televised event, but his participation had not been confirmed. Trump’s appearance will likely bring security and logistical challenges and reshape a decades-old, nonpartisan event that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors. Sgt. Eduardo Delgado, a spokesman for the U.S. Park Police, confirmed the agency has been notified that Trump plans to speak at the memorial. He said the agency was working with the White House to determine how the president’s movements would affect security, and the Park Police was awaiting details from the Secret Service about the timing and duration of the speech. “It’s still kind of an evolving

Md. toll lanes move forward after key vote TRANSPORTATION The Maryland Board of Public Works voted 2 to 1 Wednesday to allow the state to solicit private companies to build and operate toll lanes on Interstate 270 and the Capital Beltway as part of Gov. Larry Hogan’s plan to ease traffic in D.C. suburbs. In an amendment to Hogan’s initial proposal, the I-270 portion of the plan will be the first phase of the project. Relieving congestion on Interstate 495 and the American Legion Bridge in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties — which has been more controversial — will be phases 2 and 3 of the project, to allow time for local input. “This transformative project is about finally moving forward and taking action on an issue that elected officials have literally ignored for decades,” Hogan, R, said in a statement. The vote allows the Maryland Department of Transportation to pursue proposals from teams of companies that would design, build, pay for and operate the lanes while keeping most of the toll revenue over 50 years. While the plan enjoys broad support among the region’s residents, opponents, including many elected leaders from Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, say Hogan has moved too quickly and has ignored local leaders, planners and some residents in determining how best to relieve traffic congestion in their communities.

administrator at the museum alleged that an exhibition on the Arctic had been “toned down” by museum officials who feared angering Congress and the administration of President George W. Bush. The 2006 exhibition discussed the Arctic’s shrinking ice and snow cover but didn’t mention what was causing the changes. Ironically, the new hall is named the “David H. Koch Hall of Fossils — Deep Time” after a $35 million gift from the billionaire, who made his fortune from fossil fuels and has funded groups that deny climate science. Planning on the new fossil hall was mostly done during the Obama administration. But even after the inauguration of President Trump, who has questioned scientific consensus, Johnson said that there was no hesitation about the exhibition’s approach. “I have no doubt that the kind

ENVIRONMENT As a young paleontologist, Kirk Johnson traveled to the Arctic to excavate fossils from 50 million years ago, when the air was thick with carbon dioxide and so warm that even the North Pole had no ice. Johnson and his colleagues dug up fossilized crocodiles, turtles and palm trees. “Palm trees!” Johnson recalled. “In the Arctic! . . . It blew my mind that the Earth could change that much.” Since that expedition in the 1980s, global carbon dioxide concentrations have soared to levels not seen in human history. Temperature records are set almost every year. Savannah is turning to desert, coasts are consumed by floods, the Arctic is losing ice once more. Those ancient palms are key, Johnson said, to understanding changes we see today. When the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History began revamping its celebrated fossil hall, it was “dead obvious” that this would be a central theme, said Johnson, the museum’s director since 2012. “Paleontology is the backstory to what’s happening today,” he said. “We have a responsibility to present that science to the nation . . . and to make clear the implications for the future.” The “David H. Koch Hall of Fossils — Deep Time,” which opens to the public Saturday, is a new kind of natural history exhibition. It features classic beasts: a mammoth skeleton, a diplodocus, a new T. rex. But every fossil is shown in the context of Earth’s past climates and its present crisis. Although the science of climate change has been settled for decades, exhibitions on the subject have prompted political debates. In 2007, a former

The museum just missed out in 1997, when Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History won a bidding war, paying $7.6 million for a nearly complete skeleton. The D.C. museum got by for years with a replica. In 2014, the Smithsonian negotiated a 50-year lease for a smaller, slightly less complete skeleton, then on display in Montana and owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. The assembled bones became the centerpiece of the new fossil hall opening Saturday. (AP)

40 bodies found in Nile, Sudan’s protesters say

CLEAR CHOMPERS

The science behind a fish’s deadly teeth

KHARTOUM, SUDAN At least 40 bodies were pulled from the Nile River in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, organizers of pro-democracy protests said Wednesday, bringing the death toll since the violent dispersal of a sit-in outside the military’s headquarters to 100. The Sudan Doctors’ Committee said Wednesday the bodies were pulled out a day earlier, and that they were taken by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces to an unknown location. The sit-in was broken up by the military Monday. One activist, Amal al-Zein, said the number could be even higher. She said dozens of bodies had been pulled from the Nile in different places near the sit-in area and were taken to a hospital morgue. “Some bodies have wounds from bullets, others seemed to have been beaten and thrown in the Nile,” she said. The announcement came as Sudanese protest leaders dismissed a call for talks with the ruling generals, saying the military cannot be serious about negotiations while troops keep shooting and killing protesters. A spokesman for the protesters said they would instead continue their pro-democracy campaign to pressure the military to hand

over power to a civilian authority. Earlier Wednesday, the head of the military council, Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, said the generals were ready to resume negotiations and that there would be “no restrictions” in talks with the leaders behind the monthslong street protests. “We open our hands to negotiations with all parties ... for the interest of the nation,” Burhan said, adding that those responsible for the violent breakup of the demonstrators’ sit-in in the capital would be held accountable. The motives for Burhan’s about-face — if sincere — were not immediately clear. Burhan had earlier cut the

negotiations and canceled all agreed-on points between the military and the Forces for Declaration of Freedom and Change, an alliance that represents the protesters. Mohammed Yousef al-Mustafa, a spokesman for the Sudanese Professionals Association, which is also part of the alliance and which is leading the demonstrations, said the protesters “totally reject” Burhan’s call. “This call is not serious,” alMustafa told The Associated Press. “Burhan and those under him have killed the Sudanese and are still doing it. Their vehicles patrol the streets, firing at people.”

A deep-sea fish can hide its enormous, jutting teeth from prey because its chompers are virtually invisible. What’s the dragonfish’s secret? The teeth are transparent, and now scientists have discovered how the fish accomplished that trick. Their findings were published Wednesday in the journal Matter. The dragonfish is a small predator with jagged, needle-like teeth that can extend to bite into prey up to half its body size. Their teeth are like human teeth, but have a much finer microscopic structure. As a result, light in the environment or from bioluminescence doesn’t reflect off the teeth. Instead, most light passes through the teeth, so they’re almost completely translucent. (AP)

YouTube will bar hoaxes, supremacists TECHNOLOGY YouTube said Wednesday it will remove false videos alleging that major events like the Holocaust didn’t happen, as well as a broad array of content by white supremacists and others in a move to more aggressively crack down on hate speech. The Google-owned video site, along with its Silicon Valley peers, is starting to take a broader view of hate speech in the face of criticism that it has failed to prevent the spread of harmful videos that distort world events, hurt children or promote discriminatory ideologies. On Tuesday, for instance, Vox Media called out YouTube for failing to remove homophobic and racist videos attacking one of its reporters. While YouTube, which has more than 1.8 billion daily users, has long prohibited videos that promote violence or hatred against people based on their age, religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status and other protected categories, the new hate speech policy will go further. The policies will specifically ban videos “alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination, segregation, or exclusion” based on those categories. That would include groups that “glorify Nazi ideology,” the company said in its announcement, because such beliefs are “inherently discriminatory.” ELIZABETH DWOSKIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘What’s next? … Water? Food?’ HHS cancels recreation, classes, legal help for detained migrant kids

Trump ends federal research on fetal tissue

WILFREDO LEE (AP)

IMMIGRATION The Trump administration is canceling English classes, recreational programs and legal aid for unaccompanied minors staying in federal migrant shelters nationwide, saying the immigration influx at the southern border has created critical budget pressures. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has begun discontinuing the funding stream for activities — including soccer — that have been deemed “not directly necessary for the protection of life and safety, including education services, legal services and recreation,” said U.S. Health and Human Services spokesman Mark Weber. Federal officials have warned Congress that they are facing “a dramatic spike” in unaccompanied minors at the southern border and have asked Congress for $2.9 billion in emergency funding to expand shelters and care. The program could run out of money late this month, and the agency is legally obligated to direct funding to essential services, Weber said. The move — revealed in an email an HHS official sent to licensed shelters last week, a message that has been obtained by The Washington Post — could run afoul of a federal court settlement and state licensing requirements that mandate education and recreation for minors in

More than 40,800 unaccompanied minors have been put into federal custody this year after crossing the border.

federal custody. Carlos Holguin, a lawyer who represents minors in a long-running lawsuit that spurred a 1997 federal court settlement that sets basic standards of care for children in custody, immediately slammed the cuts as illegal. “We’ll see them in court if they go through with it,” Holguin said. “What’s next? Drinking water? Food? … Where are they going to stop?” More than 40,800 unaccompanied children have been placed into HHS custody after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border this year, a 57% increase from last year that is putting ORR on track to care for the largest number of minors in the program’s history.

Federal law requires the Department of Homeland Security to move unaccompanied minors from austere border jails to more child-appropriate shelters, and it must do so swiftly. An average of 12,500 children and youths were held in federal shelters nationwide in April, according to HHS. They stayed an average of 48 days until a case worker could place them with a sponsor, usually a relative. While waiting in the shelters, minors have attended school, studied math and English and participated in activities such as pingpong, soccer or other sports. Most of the minors are teenagers fleeing violence and poverty in Guatemala, Honduras

and El Salvador. A shelter employee who spoke on the condition of anonymity to address the internal government directive said the Trump administration’s cuts have alarmed workers, who fear the quality of care for the children will suffer. The employee said the classes and sports activities are crucial to maintaining physical and mental health while the children are in custody. “What are you going to do all day?” the shelter employee said. “If you’re not going to have any sort of organized recreation or physical activity, what are you going to do, just let them sit in their rooms?” MARIA SACCHETTI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

HEALTH The Trump administration on Wednesday ended medical research by government scientists using fetal tissue and canceled a multimilliondollar contract for a university laboratory that uses the material to test new HIV therapies. The decision to tighten federal funding for an ideologically polarizing aspect of medical research was made by President Trump himself, according to a source familiar with the decision-making. It represents a victory for anti-abortion advocates, who immediately lauded the change, and a major disappointment to scientists who say the tissue collected from elective abortions has been instrumental to unlocking the secrets of diseases that range from AIDS to cancers to Zika, and to developing vaccines and treatments for illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease. “Promoting the dignity of human life from conception to natural death is one of the very top priorities of President Trump’s administration,” the Health and Human Services Department said in a written statement. But scientists were indignant. “I think it’s … a terrible, nonsensical policy,” said Larry Goldstein, distinguished professor in the University of California at San Diego’s department of cellular and molecular medicine, who has advised scientific groups that use fetal tissue.

PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND The world leaders arrived in helicopters and armored convoys surrounded by massive security. The aging veterans came in wheelchairs, aided by canes, leaning on children and grandchildren. They gathered in Portsmouth, England, on Wednesday to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, still the largest combined naval, air and land assault in history. French President Emmanuel Macron read a letter from a resistance fighter named Henri Fertet, who was executed at age 16. “I am going to die for my country,” he wrote in French to his parents. “I do not doubt that you will remain courageous, if only out of love for me.” President Trump was also in attendance, concluding a state visit to Britain. He read from a prayer that President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke over the radio to the country on the eve of D-Day. “Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity,” he said. Some 300 veterans of the D-Day assault to liberate Europe were on hand. Arthur Hampson turned 93 on Wednesday. On D-Day, he was an 18-year-old midshipman ferrying Canadian soldiers and Sherman tanks to Juno Beach, one of the five landing beaches. They successfully landed four tanks, but one fell into the sea, and two crew members drowned. Hampson told The Washington Post: “I don’t regard myself as a hero. We had a job to do. We didn’t want to let anyone down. But we also didn’t want to die.” The commemorations began in the morning at the Portsmouth

harbor, where Queen Elizabeth II sat next to Trump and Prince Charles, her son. Addressing the crowd from her box, the queen kept it short and simple. “On behalf of the entire country — indeed the whole free world — that I say to you all, thank you,” she said. Historians consider the D-Day invasion “the beginning of the end of the war” and stress that it was an international effort. The fighting in Normandy went on for a month. John Jenkins, 99, was with the Royal Pioneer Corps when he landed at Gold Beach. He recalled digging holes in the ground to get a few hours of sleep and being ever-worried about treading on mines. Asked about the fear, he told The Post, “You didn’t show it, but you felt it.” He said that “young people today need to know what happened, because if it didn’t happen, they’d all be wearing swastikas today.” WILLIAM BOOTH AND KARLA ADAM (THE WASHINGTON POST)

MILITARY Exactly 75 years ago Friday, Allied soldiers stepped on a deadly shore to liberate people they did not know, in a war they did not choose. President Trump said he would have preferred to serve in that kind of war. One that stirred feelings of deep pride in a U.S. victory and righteousness against a clearly defined enemy. But his generation got Vietnam. “I thought it was a terrible war,” Trump told Piers Morgan on “Good Morning Britain” on Wednesday. “I thought it was very far away, and at that time nobody ever heard of the country. So many people dying, what is happening over there?“ The exchange occurred after Morgan asked Trump if he “wished” he had served in the military, particularly in Vietnam, which Trump avoided with a string of student deferments and a medical disqualification for bone spurs, leading some to suggest that he dodged service because of his wealth. “I would have not have minded that at all. I would have been honored” to serve, Trump said. However, Trump added, he has increased the Pentagon’s budget during his tenure, which he said should be considered as an amends to avoiding service. “I think I make up for it right now,” Trump said, describing a proposed defense budget that will approach $750 billion in 2020. “I think I am making up for it rapidly.” ALEX HORTON (TWP)

QBs Dwayne Haskins, left, and Case Keenum both looked impressive at minicamp this week.

Injury leaves 6-foot-9 hole in Bruins’ D

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

QB job available: Settle in for a long, hard-fought battle Choosing a starting QB is already looking like a tough decision for the Redskins. Case Keenum and Dwayne Haskins were trading blows Tuesday at minicamp. After Keenum heaved a perfect 60-yarder downfield for a touchdown, Haskins dropped a dime to Trey Quinn on a crossing route. Then, Keenum found a receiver leaping above two cornerbacks, and Haskins responded by throwing a dart across the middle. It has become a competition between the old man and the unproven youngster, something

the Redskins haven’t encountered since Mark Brunell gave way to Jason Campbell in 2006. Keenum, 31, and Haskins, 22, are newcomers learning the Redskins’ system, but Keenum’s six pro seasons give him an edge. Haskins is obviously the coming storm, but a couple of batted throws across the middle Tuesday were a reminder that the rookie still must adjust to the quickness of NFL linebackers. Watching the battling QBs give running backs high-fives after drills was reminiscent of Sonny Jurgensen and Billy Kilmer in the mid-1970s. They were good friends but competitive over who would start.

The newest edition seems the same way. Both expect a chance to prove themselves, so they’re learning the scheme, teammates and even each other. And they know, come September, the team will need both to be ready. Without a true pass rush or hitting during camp, it’s only possible to catch glimpses of potential. But even from these snapshots, there’s so much to like about both passers. Keenum seems capable of reviving the downfield attack that has been absent since DeSean Jackson left after the 2016 season. Haskins is steadfast in identifying several options, spiraling balls across the middle with ease. “[Haskins] can really spin it, without a doubt,” coach Jay Gruden said, “but now it is just a matter of transitioning to different defenses, different blitzes, handling the pressure, handling the looks, finding open receivers and delivering the ball. I think he is on a great course right now.”

Offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell. a former quarterback, was a third-round pick by the Patriots in 2008. He played parts of only two games before he was released before the start of the next season. He never saw the field again while spending time with four other teams. Despite his limited on-field success, O’Connell has quickly risen from quarterbacks coach to playcaller by developing passers. And now he has two he must get ready. “This is really where the learning curve goes a thousand miles a minute,” O’Connell said, “because we can talk protection now, we can talk situational football. … The spring’s a great time for teaching, but also, there’s an end game in mind in getting all these guys to compete for the job.” Because come fall, there can be only one.

The Bruins reached the Stanley Cup Final despite a run of regularseason injuries that prevented anyone on the roster from playing all 82 games. Now comes the real test. Boston is preparing to host Game 5 against the Blues tonight (8, NBC) without captain and No. 1 defenseman Zdeno Chara, below, who was hit in the face with a puck Monday night and reportedly broke his jaw. St. Louis won 4-2 to even the series at 2-2. Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said he’s less worried about losing Chara’s leadership than his 6-foot-9 presence on the ice. “Taking great players out of the lineup, that’s the part that hurts the most,” Cassidy said. “I’m not worried about our mentality.” (AP)

TRADE DEMAND?

Report: Williams upset with training staff

Redskins left tackle Trent Williams, who had a growth on his head surgically removed this winter, is skipping minicamp due to frustration with the team’s training staff, according to sources. “I think where the frustration might lie is in the timing of a diagnosis; maybe he wished the diagnosis had come a little sooner,” coach Jay Gruden said, responding to a CBS report that Williams demanded to be traded or released.

WINNING STREAK UP TO FOUR

Nationals show signs of life Trea Turner belted his third career walkoff home run Wednesday to lead the Nationals to a 6-4 victory over the White Sox. Washington (28-33), which had the second-worst record in the NL on May 23, is on a season-long fourgame winning streak and has won nine of its past 11 games. Here’s how they’ve bounced back. JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)

The average number of runs the Nats have scored over their past 11 games, including four wins in which they had at least nine runs. Over their previous 34 games, from April 18 to May 23, Washington scored at least nine runs just one time.

.500

The on-base percentage of Anthony Rendon over the past 11 games, when he’s gone 14-for-39 (.359), with 11 walks, 11 runs, two homers and 13 RBIs. The third baseman entered Wednesday ranked third in the NL in batting average (.335) this season.

0.79

The ERA of righty Anibal Sanchez over his last two starts. After allowing no runs over 6 innings against the Braves on May 29, he allowed just one run over 5 ⅓ innings Wednesday. He was 0-6 with a 5.10 ERA in his first nine starts for the Nats.

The batting average of Howie Kendrick since May 26. In 23 at-bats, he has 12 hits, three HRs and 10 RBIs. Despite being sixth on the team in at-bats this year, the utility man ranks in the top three on the Nats in HRs (10), RBIs (35) and batting average (.322).

Kennedy Center’s new expansion opens this fall with a free festival FESTIVALS A block party curated by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip. An Opera in the Outfield-style outdoor viewing of the Washington National Opera’s “Show Boat.” A new installation by Washington Color School artist Sam Gilliam. These are the among the highlights of a free, 16-day festival at the Kennedy Center beginning

Sept. 7. More than 400 events are planned, although further specifics are hard to come by. The occasion is the opening of The Reach, a $250 million expansion next to the Kennedy Center that contains 11 interior spaces flexible enough to host rehearsals, performances, workshops and classes, as well as an outdoor stage and a pedestrian bridge that connects The Reach to the National Mall. “What we really wanted to do was provide a snapshot of all the types of programming we have,”

A big vision that is well within Reach

The Reach will boast 11 new spaces for classes, performances and rehearsals.

Kennedy Center president Deborah Rutter says. That means big names, such as an opening-day concert with Chuck Brown Band and legendary funk bassist Bootsy Collins,

but also letting the public explore The Reach during workshops led by musician Robert Glasper, dance classes from The Broadway Collective and a local playwrights forum.

Rose Lavelle was 8 years old the last time the U.S. women’s national team embarked on a World Cup title defense. When the Americans’ run at that 2003 tournament ended with a semifinal exit, Lavelle slumped off to her bedroom and crawled under the covers of her top bunk. “I was just like, ‘I want to be left alone,’ ” Lavelle says. “And I cried the rest of the night.” This summer in France, the U.S. team is again aiming for a second straight Women’s World Cup title. But Lavelle, now a 24-yearold midfielder and rising U.S. star, doesn’t want to coast on the coattails of the 2015 champions. “We’re looking at it as if we’re going to get the title,” says Lavelle, one of 11 new players on the 23-woman squad. “We don’t feel like we’re defending anything.” When she’s not sporting the Stars and Stripes, Lavelle plays for the NWSL’s Washington Spirit. Considering the mileage she logs roaming the field, the Rockville resident is happy to take it easy on her perfect day in the D.C. area.

Missed yesterday’s paper?

On my actual ideal day, if I am truly being honest, I’d go to Coffee Republic [in Rockville] and get an iced vanilla latte. Then I’d sit in my apartment for the remainder of the day and watch “Law & Order: SVU” or read a book — just lounge and do absolutely nothing.

But if I want to be a little more adventurous, for breakfast I really like Ted’s Bulletin. I’d get the breakfast burrito, and if I want to splurge, I’ll get a pop-tart — I always get the s’mores one. Maybe I’d get my nails done at Amber Door Day Spa — it’s,

For dinner, I’d go to Flavio in Georgetown. I always end up leaving feeling sick because I’ve eaten so much. I’ve gotten the gnocchi — that’s really good. I’ve also gotten the steak. They have pizza there, and I love pizza. Honestly, I feel like all Italian food is pretty good — you can’t go wrong with anything. I went to one of the Washington Capitals’ playoff games last year, which was really, really cool. I had never been to an NHL game before, and I’ve never experienced a professional game like it. We got there a little late and I thought it would take us a while to get to our seats because of the crowd. But we got there and the concourse was completely empty. I’ve never seen that before — normally you see people dillydallying, talking, getting beers and stuff. But everyone was in their seats and the atmosphere was wild. So I would definitely do that again. I’d get dessert at this good place [in North Bethesda, Md.] called The Baked Bear. You make your own cookie ice cream sandwich, and you can get it pressed so the cookies are heated. I’d have a chocolate chip cookie at the top, then maybe a sugar cookie at the bottom.

AVERY LEIGH

Hailu Mergia is busy performing for fans of his rediscovered ‘70s and ‘80s work and his new album.

The music is always his destination After a detour or two, Hailu Mergia is making his unique sound again

MUSIC For 20 years, Hailu Mergia spent his days in a cab shuttling passengers to and from Dulles International Airport. In between fares, he’d pull over, pull out a keyboard and make music. For most of that time, no one else heard the sounds that were coming out of his instrument. “I was performing for myself — that’s the best way to say it,” Mergia says. He wasn’t just a cabbie who played piano as a hobby — Mergia was an accomplished Ethiopian jazz musician, formerly of the Walias Band, who moved

to D.C. in the early 1980s after the group toured the region. When the band broke up, he stuck around, recording the hypnotic “Hailu Mergia & His Classical Instrument,” a 1985 album for which he acted as a one-man band, layering Rhodes piano, accordion and Moog synthesizer sounds. He gigged a little around the world and then, in 1991, stopped performing publicly and opened a restaurant. “But I was practicing everywhere, all the time,” says Mergia, who is in his early 70s and lives in Fort Washington, Md. In 2013, Brian Shimkovitz, who runs the blog-turned-record label Awesome Tapes From Africa, discovered Mergia’s album on cassette while in Ethiopia and rereleased it on his label the

following year. Awesome Tapes went on to rerelease two more Mergia albums: “Wede Harer Guzo,” with the Dahlak Band, and “Tche Belew,” with the Walias Band. Both are heavy on keyboard and accordion work, blending funk and jazz in forwardthinking (at the time) ways that also recall Ethiopia’s past. “When I started playing in the clubs, I was a singer and then I started playing accordion because accordion, back in the early ’60s in Ethiopia, was very popular — there was no organ,” Mergia says. “When the organ came in the mid-’60s, the accordion became a forgotten instrument — it was lost. So after so many years when I brought it back … along with the Moog, it was kind of like a different sound.” After the rereleases, the world was able to tune in to the music Mergia had made decades prior, and he started gaining fans and playing live again. (Indie singer Feist personally invited Mergia to open for her at the Lincoln Theatre in 2017 once she found out he lived here). Re-energized and with a new fan base, Mergia decided it was time to make a new album — his first since “Classical Instrument.” “Lala Belu,” released

last year, showcases Mergia’s evolved sound. The music has taken a more modern jazz turn, though it is still funky, hypnotic and, thanks in part to the accordion, uniquely him. Mergia is spending more time on the road — his trio plays The Hamilton on Sunday as part of the DC Jazz Festival — and he quit driving his cab in October. “The business was getting slow and at the same time I have more shows coming,” he says. “I need more time for the music.” He doesn’t miss driving to Dulles, but he does miss playing in the cab, where he wrote many of the melodies that make up “Lala Belu.” “When I practice in my car … I’m by myself, nobody’s bothering me — there’s no TV,” he says. “At the time, I was making money [on cab fares]. … Now I just practice.” Mergia plans to keep touring and recording, but he’s also learned that plans can quickly shift. “I’m just music now, but I dunno,” he says. “Life’s always changing, so I might do something else.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS) The Hamilton, 600 F St. NW; Sun., 7:30 p.m., $19.75-$39.75.

JOAN MARCUS PHOTOS

The “Falsettos” sets are made of building block-like pieces that are rearranged from scene to scene.

The voices of ‘Falsettos’ still resonate Tony winner James Lapine felt the time was right to revive the AIDS-era musical STAGE James Lapine was, as he puts it, a “young and stupid” 32-year-old directing his first musical when he helmed “March of the Falsettos” off-Broadway in 1981. It was a makeshift show about misfit characters, with a set made of whatever was plucked from the theater’s basement and music that was only half-written when rehearsals began. “We did it in a little 90-seat attic theater with absolutely no expectations,” Lapine says. “Ignorance

is bliss.” “March of the Falsettos” was the first of two one -act shows that eventually Lapine merged into the 1992 smash “Falsettos,” which featured a score by William Finn and book penned by Lapine and Finn. That musical explores the life of middle-aged father Marvin, who leaves his wife for a promiscuous younger man and finds himself trying to untangle

Nick Blaemire, left, and Max von Essen star in the touring production.

messy family dynamics. In the second act — originally the 1990 one-acter “Falsettoland” — the witty musical takes a gut-wrenching turn toward life at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. When Lapine and Finn were approached about the possibility of a “Falsettos” revival several years back, that heavy plot line weighed on their minds. “It was a time frame in our past that has somewhat been forgotten,” Lapine says. “Both Bill and I felt we had lost a lot of

people to HIV, and being gay at that time period in the ’80s was so different. … I just thought, ‘You know what? We really need to keep that history alive.’ ” Lapine directed the Broadway revival of “Falsettos” in 2016 as a limited three-month engagement. On Tuesday, the revival’s touring production begins a twoweek stint at the Kennedy Center. “I’ve gone back to things when I should not have gone back to them, and I’ve gone back to things I’m thrilled to revisit, reinvent

and rethink,” says Lapine, now 70. While “Falsettos” is a show pitched to its own register, with a distinctly manic tone and an idiosyncratic cast of characters, he believes the themes of familial bonds and self-exploration endure. “Every family has their own story, but they can relate to this one, even if it’s not theirs,” Lapine says. “It just has a spirit about it that remains pretty sui generis, and I think theatrically it’s unique enough that any audience, whether they’ve seen it [before] or not, will take pleasure in it.” The original Broadway run of “Falsettos” earned Lapine one of his three Tony Awards for best book of a musical (he also won for “Into the Woods” and “Passion”), as well as a nomination for directing. When Lapine returned to direct the revival, he arrived with a “new solution” in mind that would define the visual language of the production: a cube, composed of building blocks, that sits onstage when the shows begins. The blocks are then pulled apart by the cast and rearranged throughout the show, building the set for each scene. “I loved the children’s aspect of building blocks,” Lapine says. “I also loved the idea of whether an audience could come in and not realize that the entire set they’re about to see is staring them right in the face.” That set constructs a tidy metaphor for characters constantly trying to rebuild and rearrange their complicated lives. And it harks back to the show’s roots in that attic theater, nearly four decades ago, when “March of the Falsettos” humbly began with a minimalist set of its own. “The thing about the theater is it’s short-lived — there are very few shows that run all that long,” Lapine says. “But if they become part of the culture, that’s the greatest compliment you can have as an author: to have your work resonate and be, in a way, untimely, so it really can be revisited and discovered by new generations.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

The hall is laid out to follow the flow of time, but you can go your own way.

A T. rex dines on a Triceratops in one of the new displays in the National Museum of Natural History’s fossil hall.

Visitors can get good views of a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton in the fossil hall.

Dig into the new dino digs Here’s what to expect at the Natural History Museum’s renovated fossil hall EXHIBITS The newest attraction on the Mall is about 15 feet tall and in fearsome fighting shape — in fact, it looks like it’s about to rip the head off a Triceratops. The Wankel T. rex, one of the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons ever unearthed, is the centerpiece of the National Museum of Natural History’s fossil hall, which reopens

on Saturday after a five-year, $125 million renovation. But there’s much more than one awe-inspiring dinosaur. The hall, restored to its beaux-arts glory, offers a fresh view of the fossil record and the evolution of life. It looks at the impact of climate change — caused both by man and by natural sources — and mass extinction events. The exhibition demonstrates

what scientists can learn from seemingly innocuous marks on a fossil, uses a cartoon of an ancient sea creature to show why your brain is located in your skull, and lets visitors get up close and personal with giant bronze insects. It’s smartly designed, too, with many of the major attractions — the woolly mammoth, the T. rex and Triceratops, the Diplodocus — arranged along the central axis. And while the Smithsonian knows the dinosaurs will be the highest-traffic portion of the

hall, there are side spaces full of touch-friendly, kid-friendly material. “If you’re visiting Paris, of course you want to go down the main drag,” exhibition project manager Siobhan Starrs says. “But you should also wander down the side alleys to find interesting things.” Those “side alleys” include some of the Smithsonian’s oldest fossils, from forest dwellers to fearsome ocean predators; videos depicting the impact of the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs; and interactive touch-screen

displays that demonstrate important concepts, such as how dinosaurs evolved into birds, body part by body part. On a recent preview visit, some parents and children were so captivated by the main exhibits that they didn’t realize there was more, including an interactive “Fossil Basecamp” with touchable displays, in a corridor off the main room. Here are some things you’ll need to know before you visit “David H. Koch Hall of Fossils — Deep Time.” FRITZ HAHN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Is there a way to avoid lines? At first? Probably not. But the museum is extending its hours this summer, staying open until 7:30 p.m. through June (except for June 20), and then Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings in July and August (except for Aug. 17). Locals might want to drop in after work, when most tourists have gone back to their hotels or headed off to dinner. Another way to get exclusive access to the dinosaurs is to book tickets for a special event, such as the early-morning “Dawn With the Dinosaurs” on June 15. Admission is $25 for adults and $15 for visitors 12 and younger, and allows entrance at 8 a.m. I remember going to the old dinosaur hall as a kid. What’s changed? Those who grew up in the D.C. area might have memories of the previous dinosaur exhibit: It was a beige room with a lot of bones and explanatory placards. This new hall is far more

MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

The hall tells the story of 3.7 billion years of life on Earth, but it’s still worth a visit if you only have 30 minutes.

More than dinosaurs

KATHERINE FREY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

How long will I have to wait in line? No tickets are required to enter the Hall of Fossils: People will be admitted on a first-come, first-in basis. No one really knows how bad waits will be, but interest is, obviously, very high. The museum welcomed 4.8 million visitors in 2018, making it the fourth most popular museum in North America and the 11th busiest in the world. Add a T. rex, and you’re looking at some serious crowds. Starrs says the goal is to have visitors enter through the museum’s Rotunda. But once the Hall of Fossils reaches capacity — somewhere between 1,400 and 2,000 people — staff will direct visitors to get in line at the back entrance of the fossil hall, located in the “African Voices” exhibit, where they will be admitted as space allows. The museum has plans to try to make time move more quickly, even if lines don’t. Pepper, a humanoid robot that already greets visitors at some other Smithsonian museums, will show videos and interact with guests. Entertainers, including puppeteers, will also perform for those waiting.

modern, educational and interactive, not to mention wheelchairaccessible. Whereas many fossils were mounted high on walls before, here they’re at levels for children and adults to examine. There are “mini-worlds” — really immersive dioramas — that show slices of life from different epochs and that can be viewed from different angles. Visitors can touch bones and casts of different animals. And technology has

obviously improved — note the numerous films, touch screens and interactive elements around the hall. (And bonus points if you can find the song recorded by Bon Iver just for the museum.) The new Hall of Fossils also tells the Earth’s story in a different way: Visitors who enter from the museum’s Rotunda will start at the dawn of man, and move backward through millions of years of history, seeing how life

“David H. Koch Hall of Fossils — Deep Time” is huge — 31,000 square feet, with more than 700 fossil specimens. Three of the non-dinosaur skeletons worth checking out are the “Irish elk” (Megaloceros giganteus), above, the Smithsonian’s oldest mounted fossil skeleton, which has been on view since 1872; the Tylosaurus, a large marine reptile from the Cretaceous period; and the giant ground sloth, which was also displayed in the original fossil hall. F.H.

changed and evolved as the Earth underwent climate changes and massive extinctions. How much time will it take me to get through this — especially with crowds? Starrs, the project manager, puts it this way: “If you only have 30 minutes, you can find something awesome. If you have an hour, you’ll find even more awesome things.” The fossil hall is laid out

to follow the linear flow of time, but you don’t have to: Feel free to wander away to stand in the replica coal mine to learn about why coal and oil are called “fossil fuels,” watch volunteers in the FossiLab carefully extract actual fossils from chunks of earth, or get distracted by a model of a coral reef as it looked before and after “the Great Dying.” The extended hours over the summer make it easy to dip in and out of the museum. Want to see why everyone is fussing about the T. rex? Take 30 minutes at lunch to see it. Want to go further in depth into the ways humans are changing the environment or how birds are related to dinosaurs? Just come back another evening after work, when the crowds have (hopefully) broken up. While we’re waiting, are there other dinosaurs we can see in the museum? In the Constitution Avenue lobby is a cast of the skull of the Wankel T. rex — the one on display in all its glory upstairs. If you want an up-close view of its fearsome teeth, you’ll get a better look here than in the fossil hall. The museum has set up a temporary exhibit on the second floor called “The Last American Dinosaurs,” which includes Triceratops and T. rex skeletons as well as fossil displays, games and videos. It’s going to stay open until Labor Day as an overflow dino destination. Is there anything else new in the building? Perhaps the only thing that can compete with a T. rex is a Carcharocles megalodon, the ancient and extinct shark known as the megalodon, or the meg. A 52-footlong model of a megalodon is the main attraction at the museum’s newly renovated Atrium Cafe. There’s also a cast of one of the shark’s 5-inch-long teeth to touch and marvel at. The entrance is on the ground floor, near the Constitution Avenue entrance.

THE HALL’S LARGEST

THE HALL’S SMALLEST

Diplodocus

Eoraptor

Weighing in at about 14 tons when it was alive, this adult Diplodocus didn’t need to worry much about T. rex or any of the other fearsome carnivores that it lived alongside, in what’s now Utah, during the late Jurassic period (about 150 million to 155 million years ago). With size as their primary defense, Diplodocuses had to grow up fast, Carrano says. “By the time they are 20, they are about this size,” he says. The Smithsonian’s Diplodocus skeleton is about 90 feet long, from tail to nose, and — as it’s currently posed — 13 feet tall.

One of the first dinosaurs to walk the Earth, the diminutive Eoraptor lived during the Late Triassic period, about 230 million years ago. It survived a climate change-triggered extinction event that killed off 76% of all species on the planet, and is part of the linage that includes the T. rex as well as modern birds. This cast of a South American specimen stands just 22 inches tall, representing an Eoraptor that probably weighed 20 to 25 pounds.

Neck

Scientists once thought the Diplodocus used its long neck to browse treetops, but new research suggests the dinosaur didn’t raise its head much above shoulder height. So why bother evolving such a long neck? “Imagine a weed wacker with a long arm. A long neck might have been a great way to hoover up all the vegetation from one spot without having to walk,” Carrano says. 2

Teeth

Diplodocus used its peg-like teeth to strip leaves off plants. “And it probably had a massive gut for processing all that plant matter,” Carrano says. 3

THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT

1 2

Of all the creatures that have walked, slithered, swum and soared around the Earth over the past, oh, 3½ billion years, dinosaurs are undoubtedly the coolest. That, in any case, is the consensus view of children, and it’s why the newly redesigned fossil hall at the National Museum of Natural History, opening Saturday, is likely to be the most visited room in one of the most visited museums in the world. We asked Matthew Carrano, the museum’s curator of dinosaurs, to tell us about the biggest and smallest specimens in the new exhibits. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

Eoraptor

Late Triassic period 237 million years ago

Diplodocus

Jurassic period 201 million years ago

Earliest hominids appear

Dinos extinct

Cretaceous period 145 million years ago

Cenozoic era (through present day) 66 million years ago

Brain

Judging from the size of its brain, this little creature was not very sharp. “I wouldn’t say they were especially dumb, but most dinosaurs were about as smart as a frog is now,” Carrano says.

Tail

Fossil evidence suggests the Diplodocus held its long tail high, rather than dragging it around. “We’ve found thousands and thousands of footprints of these animals and you never see a tail that has left a mark in the ground.” Powerful muscles may have even allowed the dinosaur to whip its tail at supersonic speeds, creating a loud, bullwhip-like sound.

Hands

The Eoraptor has grasping, five-fingered hands, but you could probably only spot three of the fingers on a living specimen, as two were smaller and folded into the fleshy part of the hand. “Later dinosaurs specialize into a three-fingered hand, like you see in the Tyrannosaurus,” Carrano says. “Birds today retain those same three fingers.” 3

Teeth

The variety of teeth suggests that this critter was an omnivore. “As you go back in the mouth, they basically get less curvy and more triangular. And oftentimes you see that in animals that have a more varied diet, of both plants and meat,” Carrano says.

Claw on front foot

No one knows what this one oversized claw was for, Carrano says, but it probably wasn’t self-defense, since this dinosaur could defend itself just by sitting on potential predators. “Maybe it helps them walk, by having a little bit of a grip,” he says. 4

Legs

Why did the Eoraptor survive the Late Triassic extinction? “They have a very upright posture. Their legs are straight under their bodies, not out to the side like a crocodile, and that might have given them a little bit of an advantage in terms of speed. And being two-legged frees up your hands,” Carrano says.

An agonizingly slow burn Season 3 of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ falls victim to a repetitive plot and inconsistent pacing

Elisabeth Moss plays June — aka Offred, aka Ofjoseph — on Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which returned for its third season Wednesday.

HULU PHOTOS

TV REVIEW The headlines keep providing all the context Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” will ever need: There’s a notable drop in birthrates; Bible classes are offered in public schools; Facebook accepts no responsibility for its users’ distortions of fact. And recent votes in state legislatures in Georgia, Missouri, Louisiana and other states seek to limit abortion to a prohibitive degree. Some female protesters, chilled and angered by these developments, have taken to showing up to statehouses wearing the familiar red robes and white bonnets required of the fictional handmaids of Gilead, a militaristic theocracy once known as the United States of America, first envisioned in Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and brought vividly to life in showrunner Bruce Miller’s acclaimed series of the same name. The third season, which began streaming Wednesday with three new episodes, sustains many of the qualities that first made the show such a talker, with memorable performances and a fascinating vision of government oppression and cruelty in the name of God. The bad news is that the first half of this season (six episodes were made available for review) often lapses into the realm of the deadly dull, making long and redundant loops around its original premise and revisiting already

Bradley Whitford plays Commander Joseph Lawrence, while Yvonne Strahovski returns as Commander Fred Waterford’s wife, Serena Joy.

established resentments and animosities between characters. In June’s (Elisabeth Moss) final days as Offred, the handmaiden assigned to Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) and his wife, Serena Joy (Yvonne

Strahovski), she delivered a baby daughter, Nicole, who was secretly fathered by Fred’s chauffeur, Nick (Max Minghella). While the Waterford mansion went up in flames at the end of Season 2, Serena helped Offred

escape with the baby to Canada. But Offred, who still hopes to one day rescue her older daughter, gave the baby to Emily (Alexis Bledel), who was whisked away to the border in a van driven by the resistance. This season, it’s all about the baby, the baby, the baby, the baby. Almost immediately, a grieving Serena decides she wants her baby back, leading Fred and the rulers of Gilead to treat the infant’s kidnapping as an international crisis. After a period of punishment at the Red Center, June is reassigned to become Ofjoseph, ostensibly to bear a child for Commander Joseph Lawrence (Bradley Whitford), an intellectual leader among Gilead’s policy framers. If you can make it through the sluggish start (five long, poorly structured episodes), things improve in Episode 6, as June is summoned to Washington, D.C., and the home of the high grand poobah Commander Winslow (Christopher Meloni). At last we see the Gileadean version of the capital. And wait until you see what those bastards have done to Union Station, the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. It recaptures that unique combination of dread and outrage that “The Handmaid’s Tale” originally meant to convey. It’s also the sort of thing that might inspire one to dust off the protest bonnet and head for the Mall. HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

verbatim

“I could take a break from racists. A long break.” SAM ROCKWELL, referring to his roles in films such as “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and “The Best of Enemies” in a Hollywood Reporter interview. “I played a lot of rednecks — ‘country’ is probably a better way to put it,” he added. “It’s funny, I’m a city kid, and they’re always trying to throw me on a horse or get a lasso or something.”

Comedy Central Roast of Alec Baldwin taping this summer

‘Eat, Pray, Love’ author’s latest is cozy enough BOOK REVIEW Chances are you don’t know a wonderful debut novel published almost 20 years ago about lobster fishing called “Stern Men.” But you know its author: Elizabeth Gilbert. Her 2006 book, “Eat, Pray, Love,” became one of the best-selling memoirs of the modern age. When she returned to fiction in 2013, Gilbert shifted her attention to the 19th century and wrote “The Signature of All Things.” “City of Girls,” her novel released Tuesday, is another big work of historical fiction, this time woven into the excitement of mid-20th-century New York. Gilbert’s narrator is an old woman named Vivian, looking back at herself as a naive 19-year-old who had just failed out of Vassar College. Baffled by a daughter with no matrimonial or professional prospects, Vivian’s parents send her off to an eccentric aunt who owns a crumbling theater in New York. Always on the lookout for talent, Vivian’s aunt makes her the theater’s costumer. And so what should have been a mere summer interlude became a whole life. Unfortunately, what should have been a mere 300-page novel became a 470-page tome. The best and worst thing that can be said about “City of Girls” is that it’s perfectly pleasant, the kind of book one wouldn’t mind finding in a vacation condo during a rainy week.

“This is so awesome: a 97-year-old World War II veteran parachuted into France today 75 years after he did it on D-Day.” @CLAYTRAVIS, praising Tom Rice for

reliving what he told The Associated Press was “the worst jump I ever had.” In 1944, a bullet hit his parachute when he jumped with the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division on D-Day. To honor the airborne soldiers, he jumped again Wednesday in France. “It went perfect, perfect jump,” the 97-year-old from San Diego told AP after his jump. “I feel great. I’d go up and do it all again.”

“Proud to say I stand with both the LGBTQ community and Smash Mouth.” @MYTHICALCHEF, supporting a tweet by the ’90s band that told organizers of a Straight Pride Parade in Boston to “F--- OFF!” In response to June being Pride Month, a recognition of the LGBTQ community, “advocates ... of the straight community” are working with Boston city officials to organize their own parade in August, according to the website superhappyfunamerica.com. Many people on Twitter were outraged by the organizers’ insinuation that they have been discriminated against. As of Wednesday afternoon, the Smash Mouth tweet had received more than 301,000 likes.

“This is truly one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen. That’s a really high threshold.” @XDERBSX, responding to conservative talk show host Mike Huckabee slapping the bass during a jam session with Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch. The two performed Korn’s first single, “Blind,” on Huckabee’s TBN show over the weekend. Welch is a born-again Christian while the former governor of Arkansas is a Christian minister, so they share similar religious beliefs. Huckabee tweeted, “Underneath my suit and tie, I’m actually tattooed and pierced.”

“This should be national. If you can’t bother to cut your cat’s nails, you shouldn’t have cats. Declawing would be like cutting your fingers down to your knuckles.” @BYZANTIUMATTHEW, applauding New York’s Assembly and Senate for passing a bill Tuesday to ban declawing cats, a practice advocates say has no benefit to cats and is done typically out of convenience. If Gov. Andrew Cuomo signs the measure, New York will become the first state in the country to ban cat declawing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may find a certain issue quite confusing today, especially because of the way it is being presented. You can illuminate matters eventually. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your judgment may not be completely unbiased, but it’s the best you have to go on right now. No one else feels quite the way you do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You may have to make some unusual arrangements today to get certain things done, but better that than leave them undone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You can afford to be much more choosy than usual today when it comes to options presented at the workplace.

TODAY: Still partly sunny and warm, but maybe a touch less humid with light winds from the west. Highs head for the mid- to upper 80s, and we could still see a few pop-up showers and storms. Can’t rule out an isolated shower or thundershower this evening, but otherwise partly cloudy with lows in the 60s.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may not reach all your goals today, but that’s no reason not to try. The further you get, the closer you are to your goal. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ve decided to do something that goes against conventional wisdom, but you’ve had success doing such things in the past, so why not?

At that point, it was already too late.” The trio wore the rings as a symbol of abstinence. (EXPRESS)

“Well, he’s just the best person I’ve ever met in my whole life.”

Tracy Morgan was involved in a minor traffic crash while driving his 2019 Bugatti on Tuesday in midtown Manhattan, just an hour after buying the car for a reported $2 million. Police say the mishap involved the 50-year-old comedian and his white Bugatti and a 61-year-old woman driving a Honda CR-V. In video posted by Page Six, Morgan can be seen banging on the other car’s window, yelling, “Get out the car!” The woman, identified by Page Six as Jocelyn Madulid of Jersey City, N.J., says she was “scared” by Morgan’s behavior after the crash.

Dolly Parton told The New York Times that she sleeps with her makeup on in case there’s an emergency that pulls her from bed, then cleans her face in the morning. “You never know if you’re going to wreck the bus,” the 73-year-old singer said. “You never know if you’re going to be somewhere in a hotel and there’s going to be a fire. So I leave my makeup on at night and clean my face in the morning.” (EXPRESS)
