Guggenheim Bilbao Museum Nluz Love La supercoherencia
A primera vista, una persona que hace diversas cosas sin sentido es incoherente. En el arte esto puede no ser así. Un conjunto de incoherencias en un mismo contexto puede resultar como una obra supercoherente. Solo hay que dejar que evolucionen los acontecimientos para que los elementos que conforman la obra cobren sentido más allá de la propia coherencia, generando así una gran obra de arte.
La verdad no es un camino si no la estructura de una idea que conforma los límites de un universo que evoluciona.
Solo hay que aplicar esta cita para saber si estamos ante un loco o un genio. El mundo de la información y los acontecimientos que transcurren son una gran maraña que cuesta ordenar y también entender, pero, en mi caso, he podido comprobar que la coherencia en el contenido, y sobre todo en la coincidencia de color entre mis fotografías y las noticias publicadas al unísono con sus respectivas imágenes periodísticas son la prueba de la veracidad de hechos que aún no han transcurrido pero que inexorablemente lo harán. Una serie de visionarias fotografías certificadas por la coherencia de color con eventos que plantean dudas. Y las resuelven. Tan solo hay que dejar que el tiempo transcurra. Esto es supercoherencia.

La portada es un Collage para el cual posó mi hija Malena titulado Good Night. La fotografía de huellas en la nieve fue una sorpresa encontrada en la montaña. Se puede ver como estas pequeñas huellas que comenzaban en un lugar tupido por la nieve que no tenía acceso a ningún camino, en un principio cada pie está separado del otro por una gran distancia hasta que convergen en un paso normal de pie derecho e izquierdo. Estas huellas terminaban en el hueco dejado en la nieve por una esfera de unos 40 cm de diámetro.

La Razón de ser
La mayor parte de las personas trabajan a tiempo completo para recibir una remuneración que les permita pagar sus facturas a final de mes. Es un rito social fundado para impedir que desarrollen su razón de ser. Hay personas ricas que tienen mucho capital, pero son infelices. Tan solo la percepción abstracta de la luz calienta levemente sus corazones sin entender lo que hay más allá. No tienen razón de ser. La razón de ser es una asignación cósmica para cada persona. La misión de las personas que encuentran su razón de ser es culminar una comunicación legible que permita traer al mundo una nueva filosofía que lo mejore. Hoy en día, en el mundo sin razón de ser en el que vivimos, los filósofos son locos, ya que tienen razón de ser. Es la razón principal por la que el destino de nuestra sociedad se dirige a la hecatombe. ¿Cómo encontrar tu propia razón de ser? Solo tienes que esperar a que el destino te brinde las herramientas que necesitas para desarrollar la consecución invisible de hechos que permitan la generación de tu propio capital simbólico. Este, producto de la razón de ser, romperá las cadenas mentales que te aferran sin piedad a la ignorancia. La razón de ser es la comprensión de la luz. Dejar de intuir y comenzar a comprender. Un nuevo hito en la evolución del ser humano. Un viaje a través del destino y el tiempo que desvelará tu propia verdad. Tu propia razón de ser.

Joe Biden was elected the 46th president of the U.S. on Saturday, ending 4 tumultuous years under Donald Trump. He clinched the Electoral College with Pennsylvania. Biden’s victory amounted to a repudiation of President Trump by millions of voters exhausted by his divisive conduct and chaotic administration, and was delivered by an unlikely alliance of women, people of color, old and young voters and a sliver of disaffected Republicans. Trump is the first incumbent to lose re-election in more than a quarter-century. With his triumph, Biden, who turns 78 later this month, fulfilled his decades-long ambition in his third bid for the White House, becoming the oldest person elected president. A pillar of Washington who prefers political consensus over combat, Biden is promising to restore political normalcy and a spirit of national unity to confront raging health and economic crises. The result also provided a history-making moment for Biden’s running mate, Senator Kamala Harris of California, who will become the first woman to serve as vice president.

Mining for crystals has become a pretty big business. At pay-to-dig mines around the U.S., visitors can paw through piles of mine tailings to uncover crystals and gemstones on “finders, keepers” terms for as little as $10 a day. At Herkimer Diamond Mines in central New York, home to an especially clear and unusually hard type of quartz crystal known as the Herkimer diamond, a $14 admission price includes a day of prospecting and the rental of a rock hammer. In a typical year, one-fifth of the mine’s customers are international tourists, so when the pandemic halted travel and delayed the start of this year’s April-to-November digging season, the mine’s proprietor, Renée Scialdo Shevat, worried about what the loss in revenue may do to the 40-year-old family business. By late summer, she was more concerned with how to limit the crowds. Diggers of all ages and degrees of seriousness had begun arriving in droves. “These days, every day is like a Saturday,” Shevat said in early September.

Late-season wildfires are rampaging through Colorado. Scenes of panic and destruction played out across Northern Colorado on Thursday as a wildfire exploded through the parched woods and valleys around Rocky Mountain National Park, offering a grim example of how climate change is making fire seasons longer and more destructive across the West. “This is the worst of the worst of the worst,” said Sheriff Brett Schroetlin of Grand County, where the East Troublesome Fire had burned about 170,000 acres by Thursday evening. Fire crews and residents were staggered by the wildfire’s speed and ferocity. It grew at a pace of 6,000 acres per hour, racing into Rocky Mountain National Park, forcing the park to close down, and jumping over the Continental Divide. By Thursday afternoon, the fire was menacing the resort town of Estes Park, on the eastern side of the national park, turning skies smoky yellow and forcing rounds of mandatory evacuations there. Firefighters are also battling to contain the Cameron Peak Fire, north of Rocky Mountain National Park, which has burned since August and this week grew into the largest fire recorded in Colorado history. Tap the link in our bio to read more about the fires in Colorado and how, after a season of hellish wildfires throughout the West, there is new evidence that climate change and rampant growth are creating perfect breeding grounds for fire.

Bruce @Springsteen is living in the moment. “I’m at a point in my playing life and artistic life where I’ve never felt as vital,” the 71-year-old told us on a Zoom call from his New Jersey home. “My band is at its best, and we have so much accumulated knowledge and craft about what we do that this was a time in my life where I said, ‘I want to use that as much as I can.’” His new album, “Letter to You” — his first record with the E Street Band in 6 years — and an Apple TV+ film of the same name that captures the kinetic experience of recording it last November come out on Friday. “The record is the first record that I’ve made where the subject is the music itself,” he said. “It’s about popular music. It’s about being in a rock band, over the course of time. And it’s also a direct conversation between me and my fans, at a level that I think they’ve come to expect over the years.” But the Boss is focused on where he stands now — and where he’s going next. We asked him how he felt about Trump fans playing “Born in the U.S.A.,” his spirituality, and what it’s like putting out a record in pandemic times.

The world’s largest tropical wetland has become an inferno. This year, roughly a quarter of the vast Pantanal wetland in Brazil, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, has burned in wildfires worsened by climate change. What happens to a rich and unique biome when so much is destroyed? The wetland, which is larger than Greece and stretches over parts of Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia, also offers unseen gifts to a vast swath of South America by regulating the water cycle upon which life depends. Its countless swamps, lagoons and tributaries purify water and help prevent floods and droughts — they also store untold amounts of carbon, helping to stabilize the climate. For centuries, ranchers have used fire to clear fields and new land. But this year, drought worsened by climate change turned the wetlands into a tinderbox and the fires raged out of control. “The extent of fires is staggering,” said Douglas C. Morton, who leads the Biospheric Sciences Laboratory at @nasagoddard and studies fire and food production in South America. “When you wipe out a quarter of a biome, you create all kinds of unprecedented circumstances.” His analysis showed that at least 22% of the Pantanal in Brazil has burned since January, with the worst fires, in August and September, blazing for 2 months straight. Scientists are scrambling to determine an estimate of animals killed in the fires. While large mammals and birds have suffered casualties, many were able to run or fly away. It appears that reptiles, amphibians and small mammals have fared the worst. In places like California, small animals often take refuge underground during wildfires. But in the Pantanal, scientists say, fires burn underground too, fueled by dried-out wetland vegetation. Tap the link in our bio to read more. Photos by @mariamagdarre.

Brunch, a major part of homecoming at historically Black colleges and universities, is still on for this year, even if it has to be virtual. "Waffles are almost always on the menu,” Nicole Taylor writes in her recipes for these cornmeal waffles. “These crispy, savory cornmeal waffles are a weekend must-make and fancier than a pancake stack.” This year, many homecoming festivities have been canceled because of the pandemic. But the energy of game day never dissipates. Memories of tailgating sustain many graduates of HBCUs, and brunch, which has become the new cornerstone of homecoming celebrations, will be a remote affair for 2020.

This urban safari comes with a warning: Watch out for snakes. On nighttime hikes in Hong Kong’s surprisingly lush forests, a snake catcher teaches hikers about the reptiles — and their bites. William Sargent (1st photo) runs Hong Kong Snakes Safari, an outfit that takes residents on night hikes through the territory’s wooded hinterlands. The hikes highlight the scale of biodiversity in Hong Kong, a financial hub of 7.5 million people that is better known for its high-rises than its sprawling protected areas. It’s also a way for city slickers with snake phobias to confront their fears in the wild. Hong Kong is nearly the size of Los Angeles, but about 40% of its land area consists of parks that were created in the 1970s when the Chinese territory was still a British colony. Human-animal conflicts are inevitable because so much of the protected land lies within walking distance of dense urban areas. Snakes generally keep a low profile in Hong Kong, but because 8 native species are capable of inflicting fatal bites, the health risks can be serious if they end up in close quarters with humans. Sargent said the best way to avoid a snakebite is to watch your feet and walk with a high-quality headlamp. In Hong Kong, no one has been killed by a venomous snake since at least 2005, according to a spokesman for the city’s Hospital Authority. In 2018, the last year for which data is available, the authorities recorded just 73 snakebites, making the chances of being bitten about one in 100,000. “It’s not mystical,” Sargent said during the night hike. “It’s very clear-cut what the risk is. But there’s such a huge gap of misconception.” Tap the link in our bio to read more from the urban safari. Photos by @lamyikfei.

New York’s East Village is the home of punks and poets. It is home to Beats, hippies and no wave bands, to Allen Ginsberg, W.H. Auden, Abbie Hoffman, graffiti artists and, in recent years, to tourists and droves of NYU students. In the latest installment in our series of walks around town, our critic @michael_kimmelman talks with the writer and artist Luc Sante about the Tompkins Square Park riots, CBGB and why he never went back to his favorite St. Marks Bar & Grill. “I once described it in a letter to a friend,” @luxante said. “A third of the crowd was singing, a third was sleeping, and a third was fighting. Then the Rolling Stones staged a music video there, and it was curtains for the bar. It became a place I never entered again.” Sante is the author of “Low Life,” which chronicles the seamy underside of bygone New York. He lived and worked for years in the East Village, although, as a matter of principle, he still calls it the Lower East Side. He writes about his experiences in a new collection, “Maybe the People Would Be the Times.” “What was different back then is that we were a self-selected set of young people,” he said. “We wanted to make things, and we grew tough hides. If your landlord decided not to pay the fuel bill, that was a passing hardship, but we were not living there to enjoy middle-class comforts.” Tap the link in our bio to read more from their conversation, including how living there, said Sante, “was like camping out amid the ruins of multiple pasts.” Photos by @zackdezon

Mustaches can be divisive. Porny? ’70s? Yes. But also, distinguished? Civil? Gentlemanly? A grounding flourish. On a Black man, says our critic at large @wsslyy for @nytmag, it signifies values: perseverance, seriousness, rigor. Mustaches were staples of civil rights-era leaders like John Lewis, Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and Gordon Parks. Then, they were freelance signatures of Stevie Wonder, Richard Roundtree, Billy Dee Williams, Lionel Richie and Eddie Murphy. Morris hails from a long line of family mustaches. But it’s much, much more than just a good look: “I didn’t realize that experimenting with my facial hair during the pandemic would lead me to question how I became who I am.” Tap the link in our bio to read more.

As antigovernment protesters took to the streets in Bangkok, officials imposed an emergency decree and banned gatherings of 5 or more people. The pro-democracy protesters have been gathering by the thousands to call for reforms to the monarchy and military, influential institutions that have dominated Thailand’s power structure for decades. By Thursday morning, Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha of Thailand, a retired general, had ordered riot police to clear the protesters from their rally site near his government office, where they had camped out and called for his removal. Protesters yelled “my taxes!” referring to their personal contributions to royal coffers, as Queen Suthida Vajiralongkorn Na Ayudhya rode in a cream-colored stretch Rolls-Royce limousine this week past the angry crowds. The police held them back but could not hide the demonstrators’ defiant salutes. The decree banned news or online content that “could create fear or intentionally distort information” by compromising national security or damaging peace and order. The government of Prayuth, who came to power in a 2014 military coup, was also given purview to declare any area off-limits to potential demonstrators.

This Medusa statue from a decade ago has become #MeToo art. Luciano Garbati’s sculpture — “Medusa With the Head of Perseus,” an inversion of the centuries-old myth — was reimagined as a symbol of triumph for victims of sexual assault, when it was unveiled in Lower Manhattan, just across the street from the criminal courthouse on Centre Street. Garbati was inspired by a 16th-century bronze: Benvenuto Cellini’s “Perseus With the Head of Medusa.” In that work, a nude Perseus holds up Medusa’s head by her snaky mane. Garbati conceived of a sculpture that could reverse that story, imagining it from Medusa’s perspective and revealing the woman behind the monster. In his application to the city’s Art in the Parks program, he noted that Medusa had been raped by Poseidon in the Temple of Athena, according to the myth. As punishment, Athena turned her wrath on Medusa, transforming her hair into snakes. The application stated that the story had “communicated to women for millennia that if they are raped, it is their fault.” At Tuesday’s unveiling in the park, Garbati talked about the thousands of women who had written to him about the sculpture. Many saw the image as cathartic, he said. But for some, the sculpture did not quite meet the moment. As news about the sculpture’s planned installation spread, activists and observers on social media wondered why a piece of art meant to honor the #MeToo movement — which was animated, in large part, by an outpouring of personal stories from women — was created by a man. One backer said men need to be a part of the conversation. Tap the link in our bio for more on how others weighed in. Photo by @jeenahmoon

The number of new coronavirus cases in the U.S. is climbing toward a third peak, surging once again after growth slowed in late summer. While the geography of the pandemic is now shifting to the Midwest and to more rural areas of the country, cases are trending upward in most states, many of which are setting weekly records for new cases. The map above offers a snapshot of 2 earlier peaks of the pandemic — and where case counts stand today. Taken alone, case counts are an imperfect measure of the pandemic’s severity, and it is difficult to compare the current numbers with earlier points in the U.S. outbreak when testing was less widespread. But other critical measures are showing a resurgence, too. And the continuing spread of cases to new areas of the country suggests the outbreak is far from over. The rise since mid-September has been especially profound in the Midwest and Mountain West, where hospitals are filling up and rural areas are seeing staggering outbreaks. The regions are home to almost all of the metro areas with the country’s worst outbreaks right now. “We are starting from a much higher plateau than we were before the summer wave,” said Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University. “It concerns me that we might see even more cases during the next peak than we did during the summer.” Tap the link in our bio for more analysis of the climbing numbers.

A cross-border fight over water has erupted in Mexico. “This is a war to survive, to continue working, to feed my family,” said Victor Velderrain, a Mexican farmer who helped lead the takeover of a local dam that supplied water to the U.S. The Mexican government has been sending water to Texas, leaving growers like Velderrain next to nothing for their thirsty crops. So farmers seized the La Boquilla Dam (above) near Delicias, Chihuahua, one of the border region’s most important bodies of water. They have refused to allow any of the water to flow to the U.S. for more than a month. This has been one of the driest years in the past 3 decades for Chihuahua, the Mexican border state responsible for sending the bulk of the water that Mexico owes the U.S. The standoff is the culmination of longstanding tensions over water between the 2 countries that have recently exploded into violence, pitting Mexican farmers against their own president and the global superpower next door. Negotiating the exchange of water has long been strained. But rising temperatures and long droughts have made the shared rivers along the border more valuable than ever. The dam’s takeover is a stark example of how far people are willing to go to defend livelihoods threatened by climate change — and of the kind of conflict that may become more common with increasingly extreme weather.

A group of tenants evicted their landlord. For years, residents of 5 buildings in Minneapolis had been involved in a prolonged battle against their landlord, Stephen Frenz, and his business partner, Spiros Zorbalas. They had mobilized for better conditions, resisted evictions, participated in a rent strike and held a vigil outside their landlord’s church. The tenants pushed the city council to revoke Frenz’s rental license. It eventually did, stripping his ability to collect rent. But Frenz still owned the apartments where the tenants lived. And he wanted everybody out so he could renovate and sell the buildings to the highest bidder. The tenants had another idea: They wanted him to sell to them. They prevailed and bought the 5 buildings. In their first major act of collective ownership, they celebrated by removing their landlord’s signs. “There was a time when we were just neighbors, not really talking to each other,” said Chloé Jackson, one of the residents who helped organize the effort. “Now, we’re a family.” A new kind of housing movement has been growing across America. In city after city, renters have begun to see themselves as a class, with shared interests and problems, and to organize together against evictions, profit-centered development and landlord disinvestment.

Tom Lochtefeld wants to bring perfect waves to the masses — even a hundred miles from the ocean. At a shuttered water park in the desert landscape of Coachella Valley in Southern California, Lochtefeld has transformed a pool into a surf spot. For decades, inventors like him have struggled to mimic the ocean’s swells in wave pools. Now there’s a global expansion race, driven by the demand of surfers to ride on specifically designed waves and by landlocked newbies who want to try the sport but on gentler, more controlled breakers. “You can make the perfect wave, but if you can’t reach people, what good is it?” asked Lochtefeld, who is perhaps best known for spearheading FlowRider, an early stab at simulated surfing, found on cruise ships and in water parks. Since then, competition has emerged, including from a surfing legend and the prolific company Wavegarden. At least half a dozen companies are designing wave pools and pitching their technologies as the gold standard — though some surfers scoff that only the ocean produces true waves.

“I feel like I have dementia,” said Lisa Mizelle, a nurse practitioner and Covid-19 survivor. It’s becoming known as Covid brain fog: troubling cognitive symptoms that can include memory loss, confusion, difficulty focusing and dizziness. Increasingly, Covid survivors say brain fog is impairing their ability to work and function normally. Scientists aren’t sure what causes brain fog, which varies widely and affects even people who became only mildly physically ill from Covid-19 and had no previous medical conditions. Leading theories suggest it arises when the body’s immune response to the virus doesn’t shut down or from inflammation in blood vessels leading to the brain. Research on long-lasting brain fog is just beginning. A French report in August on 120 patients who had been hospitalized found that 34% had memory loss and 27% had concentration problems months later. In a soon-to-be-published survey of 3,930 members of Survivor Corps, a group of people who have connected to discuss life after Covid, over half reported difficulty concentrating or focusing. Dona Kim Murphey, a neurologist and neuroscientist, who herself has experienced post-Covid neurological issues, said research is crucial so symptoms are taken seriously. “People say in a disparaging way ‘It’s all in their head,’” she said. “In this case it is literally in our heads, and it is very real.” Tap the link in our bio to read more about the impact of coronavirus on cognitive function.

Independent Midwestern voters who turned to Donald Trump in 2016 now prefer Joe Biden, according to new surveys from The New York Times and Siena College. Donald Trump’s surprise victory in 2016 centered on the Midwest — particularly the ambivalent voters there who chose him at the last minute. But many soured on the president’s leadership early in his term. Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, holds a significant lead in the pivotal states of Michigan and Wisconsin, with Trump so far failing to retain the overwhelming advantage he enjoyed among white voters there in 2016, according to the surveys. The new results, along with recent Times/Siena surveys from elsewhere in the Northern battlegrounds, suggest that the president has not yet managed to reassemble his winning coalition across the region. He faces modest but significant defections among white and independent voters, while facing a groundswell of opposition from those who voted for a minor-party candidate or didn’t vote at all in 2016. Trump’s support now runs slightly stronger among members of the Republican Party than it does among all voters who cast a ballot for him in the last election. Across recent surveys of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Iowa and Ohio, Trump has retained the support of only 87% of those who voted for him in 2016. And Biden is holding on to considerably more of Hillary Clinton’s supporters. Tap the link in our bio for live election updates. @emilyiriselconin took this photo of Biden in Toledo, Ohio, on Monday.

For years, New York City has been the most popular big-city destination in the U.S. Now, it’s facing a tourism crisis. International arrivals to the city are down by as much as 93%, and the people and the businesses of the city’s tourism industry are on the brink. “I have no fares. There’s no flights coming in, no tourists visiting and there’s less people on the streets,” said Jean Metellus, a 71-year-old Queens resident who has owned his taxi since 1988. “So there’s no business, but we still have to pay the bills.” Jarring scenes from all around the city lay bare the devastating impact of the absence of tourism. In Times Square, the vibrant street signs still shine, but more than half of the hotels in the area have closed and foot traffic has cratered. Outside Kennedy International Airport, the long line of yellow cabs that in years past rotated like a conveyor belt to meet the demand of passenger arrivals has disappeared. At Columbus Circle, pedicab bikers hunch over their handlebars, looking at their phones. Red tour buses continue to make daily rounds, but they drive empty past abandoned landmarks as their agents scavenge the sidewalks for local tourists.

President Trump addressed hundreds of supporters gathered at the White House on Saturday in his first public event since he was hospitalized with the coronavirus. He is trying to recover forward movement in his campaign for re-election with just 3 weeks to go. Trump called the event a “peaceful protest” in honor of “law and order,” and White House aides described it as an official event. But it had some of the hallmarks of his campaign gatherings, including attendees wearing red caps with his campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” “I’m feeling great!” Trump told the crowd at the event, which was organized by his supporter Candace Owens, who has led a “Blexit” movement to prompt Black voters to leave the Democratic Party. Trump’s voice sounded stronger than it had earlier in the week, and his complexion was better than in a video of himself he tweeted out on Wednesday. But in a departure from his typical speaking engagements, Trump appeared for a shorter time than the nearly 30 minutes that officials advertised: He spoke for just about 15 minutes. The event continues Trump’s pattern of using the White House for political events, as he did with his speech to the Republican National Convention in August. He plans to hold a rally in Orlando, Florida, on Monday. Tap the link in our bio for the latest. Photo by @nytmills.

From @tmagazine: Before the pandemic made it dangerous to travel, Joanna Williams, the founder of Kneeland Co. in Los Angeles, was constantly crisscrossing the globe — visiting countries like India, Mexico, Turkey, France, Italy and Britain as part of her job running a vintage textile library and consulting service for luxury brands and designers. Earlier this year, inspired by the artisans and makers she met along the way, @jleighwms decided to open a shop called Rarities, which adjoins her showroom in the historic West Adams neighborhood of South LA. There, you’ll find a myriad of pottery, textiles and other handicrafts, including vintage ceramic Staffordshire dogs, beautiful block-print textiles by Gregory Parkinson and colorful Oaxacan flower candles, each with a story behind it. “I wanted to share that sense of discovery,” Williams said. “It’s about finding something you can cherish,” she added. “I like things that leave a lasting impression.” Tap the link in our bio for more of the things @tmagazine and @kczarra recommend this week.

New England’s forests are sick, and there is a shortage of arborists who can help them. The region is roughly 75% forest, and to the untrained eye, it all looks green and good. But climate change is taking a toll on woodlands in the Northeast, and even a quick tour of a New England-picturesque town common can reveal a lot about the deteriorating condition of the area’s trees. “People look at that and say, ‘Oh look, fall is coming early, it is going to be a colorful fall!’ one arborist said of a young maple with red and yellow leaves. “No. This is happening early because the trees are very stressed out.” Many species — including ash, oak, maple, hemlock, elm and white pine — have their own particular pest or disease threatening them, with more on the horizon. And many trees are stressed by bouts of drought or intense rain, by rising temperatures and changing season length, by extreme weather — all the various manifestations of climate change. The list of threats is long, synergistic and growing rapidly, which means that trees do not have sufficient time to recover and adapt.

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, were “a driving force” behind President Trump’s child separation policy, a draft report of the results of an investigation said. “We need to take away children,” Sessions said in 2018, according to participants’ notes from a conference call. One added in shorthand: “If care about kids, don’t bring them in. Won’t give amnesty to people with kids.” The Justice Department’s top officials pushed the policy that spurred the separation of thousands of families, many of them fleeing violence in Central America and seeking asylum in the United States, before Trump abandoned it amid global outrage, according to a draft report of the results of the investigation by Michael E. Horowitz, the department’s inspector general. Tap the link in our bio for the full story.

The 2020 wine vintage was already difficult in Napa Valley. Then, on the last weekend of September — in the middle of harvest — savage wildfires seemed to attack the northern end of the valley from all directions. Wineries in Napa and Sonoma Counties were consumed by flames. Newton was gravely damaged, losing its signature pagoda building. A large warehouse and winery area at Castello di Amorosa were destroyed; at least 10,000 cases of wine were ruined. Fire, too, consumed the winery at Cain Vineyard and Winery, along with three houses and all the wine in the 2019 and 2020 vintages. Even before the latest round of fires, the pervasive smoke that hung over wine country in September had taken its toll. For the first time since 1978, Chateau Montelena, a historic producer near Calistoga, will not make an estate cabernet sauvignon because the grapes were tainted by ash and smoke. But the damage to wineries cannot be tallied simply by adding up the cost to rebuild. To lose a vintage, much less a vineyard, is devastating. “It’s almost like losing a living thing,” said Jean-Baptiste Rivail, Newton’s general manager. “And it’s violent, to go back on site to find ashes and gutters full of wine.” Tap the link to read more about how the fires are affecting California’s wine industry.

Eddie Van Halen, the guitar virtuoso whose band, Van Halen, was one of the most popular rock acts of all time, died on Tuesday. He was 65. Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang, said in a statement that his father had “lost his long and arduous battle with cancer.” Van Halen’s razzle-dazzle style made him the most influential guitarist of his generation. He structured his solos in roughly the same way Macy’s choreographs its Independence Day fireworks shows, shooting rockets of sound into the air that seemed to explode in a shower of light and color. His outpouring of riffs, runs and solos was hyperactive and athletic, joyous and wry, making deeper or darker emotions feel irrelevant. “Eddie put the smile back in rock guitar at a time when it was all getting a bit broody,” his fellow guitar ace Joe Satriani told Billboard in 2015. “He also scared the hell out of a million guitarists because he was so damn good.” Tap the link in our bio for our obituary of the guitar legend.

Lili Reinhart has been outspoken for almost as long as she’s been famous. The star of the popular teen soap “Riverdale” has openly discussed her struggles with anxiety, depression and body dysmorphia. She has also been vocal about women’s reproductive rights, white privilege, her disapproval of President Trump and the public’s undying fascination with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. “I had no idea three years ago that I’d be known as the girl who talks about her depression all the time,” Reinhart, 24, told us in a video call from the backyard of an Airbnb in Vancouver, Canada, where “Riverdale” is filming. “Is that something that I necessarily would have tried to seek out? No, but I’m glad that that’s how it happened.” As she sees it, she’s just being honest. “I’m the kind of person where, if I’m struggling with something, I need to talk about it,” Reinhart added. “That’s the only way that I can get through it.” In a poem from her new book, “Swimming Lessons,” which hit bookstores this week, she put it another way: “I’ve only told the world/ what I feel,/ not how to overcome./ It feels fraudulent to be given/ a pat on the back/ for simply telling the truth.” Tap the link in our bio to read our profile of @lilireinhart, Gen Z screen stealer and poet.

The shopkeepers at Nupi Keithel, a market in India run solely by women, have emerged as activists for a more equitable society. Collectively, around 5,000 of them in the Indian state of Manipur constitute one of the largest markets run by women in all of Asia. Trishna Mohanty, a writer and photographer based in Pune, Maharashtra, set out to document those vendors. “At the age of 16, I found my heroes in a group of disenfranchised women using their voices and bodies as an instrument of change in a conservative society,” writes @darbadartrails. “Ever since, I have been trying to understand how women living in far-flung corners of this country, with little to no privilege, are asserting themselves in a culture that oppresses and subjugates them.” Read and see more from @nytimestravel at the link in our bio.

Meet Nadeen Ashraf, the 22-year-old force behind Egypt’s growing #MeToo movement. @actuallynadeen, a philosophy major, had been studying for an exam when she noticed that a certain Facebook post was missing. A fellow student at the American University in Cairo had posted a warning about a sexual predator — a manipulative young man from a rich family said to be harassing and blackmailing women on campus. And the post had been deleted without explanation. Enraged, she set aside her textbooks and created the Instagram page, @assaultpolice, that identified the man, Ahmed Bassam Zaki, and a list of accusations of misdeeds against women. “This guy had been getting away with stuff since the 10th grade,” she said. “Every time a woman opened her mouth, someone taped it shut. I wanted to stop that.” When she awoke the next morning, she found hundreds of notifications from people who applauded her post, and about 30 messages from women who confided that they, too, had been assaulted by Zaki. Some said they had been raped. Within a week, Zaki was arrested, the @assaultpolice account had amassed 70,000 followers and the page had prompted an outpouring of testimonies from other Egyptian women fed up with being humiliated and violated. Sexual assault is endemic in Egypt — a U.N. study in 2013 found that 99% of women had experienced harassment or violence — but reporting it is notoriously difficult. Police officials are reluctant to register assault cases. Powerful institutions prefer to sweep accusations under the carpet. Even the families of victims, wary of scandal or feeling a misplaced sense of shame, tend to hush it up. But Ashraf’s bold page offered a new way to move forward. Read more at the link in our bio.

Covid-19 has upended this year’s Chuseok harvest festival, South Korea’s Thanksgiving-like holiday. This year, the government has asked South Koreans to stay home during Chuseok, which runs through the weekend, to avoid exacerbating the country’s latest coronavirus outbreak. Millions have canceled family gatherings, and their acquiescence comes with an emotional price: A normally joyful time of year now feels empty of its sacred rituals, and clouded with feelings of anxiety and disorientation. “Watching my parents grow older and change often worries me, but seeing them in person puts my mind at ease again,” said Joo Jae-wook, 57, a retired salesman and the oldest of four brothers, one of whom still lives close to home. “But this year I can’t even do that.” The holiday has deep links to South Korea’s agricultural past and its custom of ancestor worship. Most families returning to their hometowns — usually that of the husband or father, though the tradition is evolving — visit graveyards and tidy their ancestors’ tombs. They also set out fruit on picnic mats as ritual offerings, exchange presents and gather to make songpyeon, a special rice cake that symbolizes familial bonds. Chuseok falls on the nearest full moon to the fall equinox, known as a harvest moon. It is also celebrated in North Korea, albeit without the holiday travel rush that precedes the version in the South. During a normal Chuseok, South Korea’s roads and public transit system strain to accommodate all the people who are rushing back from cities to their hometowns. But this year, trains are leaving stations half empty because of social distancing restrictions. Passengers are buying seats at the last minute with relative ease.

President Trump arrived on Friday at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he is expected to stay for “the next few days” and undergo tests. Earlier in the day, Trump received a promising experimental drug to treat Covid-19, according to a memo from his doctor. The president walked to Marine One on the White House Lawn, wearing a blue suit and tie and a mask and showing no sign of difficulty. “President Trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day,” Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary, said in a statement. “Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the President will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days. President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the First Lady.” The president, who said early Friday that he had tested positive for the virus, has a low-grade fever, nasal congestion and a cough, according to two people close to him. His wife, Melania Trump, also tested positive for the coronavirus and reported mild symptoms. Tap the link in our bio for the latest in this developing story. Photo by @nytmills.

On New York’s Long Island, Sag Harbor is a beachfront haven for Black families. From @tmagazine: While vacationing one summer in the late 1930s, Maude Terry came upon a 20-acre plot that faced a beach. The stretch of land was in Eastville — an area on the outskirts of Long Island's Sag Harbor that even in the 18th century had a reputation for welcoming Native Americans, manumitted Black people and European immigrants. The plot had been built on reclaimed marshland and thus unsuitable for growing vegetables, but Terry saw more in the land than its owner at the time did, envisioning a place where Black families could rest, raise families and simply exist without the burden of systemic oppression. Terry and her sister Amaza Lee Meredith brokered a deal promising to find buyers for 70 parcels of land in the area, most of which were 50 by 100 to 125 feet, and began recruiting Black families and friends to move in. In doing so, they created not only the oldest historically Black subdivision in Sag Harbor but one of the most enduring Black beachfront communities in America, which, despite the threat of developers, has now spanned multiple generations. This was a place that allowed its residents to transcend the economic stratification that still exists between Black and white Americans, and to convene and find pleasure in a time when survival was the priority and joy was an afterthought. The sisters named the community Azurest: a "heavenly peace, blue rest, blue haven," as Meredith wrote for her sister's eulogy.

President Trump left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and returned to the White House on Monday evening after spending 3 nights at the center. After landing on the South Lawn, Trump ascended stairs to a rarely used White House balcony above the Diplomatic Entrance, into which he typically walks. Trump then turned to face his helicopter — and the live television cameras — and removed his mask before giving the departing Marine One a long salute. At a news conference on Monday afternoon, Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean P. Conley, said that the president had “met or exceeded all standard hospital discharge criteria,” but that he was not “out of the woods yet” in his fight against Covid-19. “We’re looking to this weekend,” Dr. Conley said. “If we can get through to Monday, with him remaining the same or improving better yet, then we will all take that final deep sigh of relief.” The president’s doctors also said that he had received a third dose of the antiviral drug remdesivir, and that he had continued to take dexamethasone, a steroid drug that has been shown to be beneficial to patients who are very sick with Covid-19. Dr. Conley did not give a firm answer about whether Trump would be confined to his residence. The West Wing is experiencing a growing outbreak, with Trump’s press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, joining the list on Monday of his close aides who have tested positive for the virus. The doctors’ remarks came after Trump tweeted that he would be returning to the White House, which has its own medical suite. In doing so, as he has throughout the pandemic, he downplayed the seriousness of a virus that has killed more than 209,000 people in the United States, writing in his post: “Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life.” Tap the link in our bio for the latest updates about the president’s condition. Photo by @anna.money

15 hours of audio recording from the grand jury inquiry into the killing of Breonna Taylor was made public on Friday. The recording was filed in court by the Kentucky attorney general, Daniel Cameron. The move came after a grand juror filed a court motion asking for the proceedings to be made public and accusing Cameron of using the jurors to deflect blame over the decision. The rare release of audio from the grand jury proceedings — an inquiry that would usually remain secret — may shed light on the jurors’ decision to indict 1 of 3 Louisville police officers who fired their weapons. According to the recording, grand jurors heard at least 2 Louisville police officers who were at the raid on Taylor’s apartment say the group knocked and announced their presence several times before breaking down the door. Those accounts have been questioned by several of Taylor’s neighbors and her boyfriend. Detective Myles Cosgrove, one of the 2 officers who shot Taylor, said that a neighbor came outside and got into an argument with Brett Hankison, a former officer who fired his weapon during the raid and whom the grand jury indicted for endangering Taylor’s neighbors. The unidentified neighbor yelled at them, “something about leave her alone, there was some girl there,” Detective Cosgrove said in an interview with police investigators last month that was played for the grand jury. He said officers were outside knocking for 90 seconds, and that the volume escalated from “gentle knocking” to “forceful pounding” to pounding while yelling “police.” Another officer at the raid, Detective Michael Nobles, told police investigators he heard movement and voices, including a female voice, inside the apartment before officers entered. In previous interviews with The Times, 11 of 12 of Taylor’s neighbors said they never heard the police identify themselves. One neighbor said he heard the group say “police,” just once. The jurors indicted Hankison last week, but their decision to not charge either of the officers who shot her was met with angry protests in Louisville, during which 1 man shot 2 police officers.

President Trump and the first lady have contracted the coronavirus. Here’s what we know now: The president, who said early Friday morning that he had tested positive for the virus, has had what one person described as cold-like symptoms. At a fund-raiser he attended at his golf club at Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday, where one attendee said the president came in contact with about 100 people, he seemed lethargic. A person briefed on the matter said that Trump fell asleep on Air Force One on the way back from a rally in Minnesota on Wednesday night. The president’s announcement upended the race in an instant, with less than 5 weeks to go before the election. Joe Biden is expected to be tested today. Vice President Mike Pence, and his wife, Karen, tested negative for the virus on Friday. Mr. Trump’s disclosure that he had been infected by the virus sent a shudder around the world on Friday, shaking global markets and drawing sympathy from leaders who have grappled with the pandemic in their own countries. President Vladimir Putin of Russia sent Mr. Trump a telegram wishing him and his wife, Melania, “a speedy recovery and expressing sincere support at this difficult moment,” the Kremlin said. Update: Joe Biden has tested negative for the coronavirus, his campaign announced Friday.

Travelers came from across the world to ski in the most idyllic resorts of the Austrian alps. Many of them went home with the coronavirus. People knew in late February and early March that the coronavirus was spreading in nearby northern Italy, and across the other border in Germany. But no one was alarmed. Austrian officials downplayed concerns as tourists crowded into cable cars by day, and après-ski bars at night. Then they all went home, unwittingly taking the virus with them. Infected in Ischgl (pictured) or in surrounding villages, thousands of skiers carried the coronavirus to more than 40 countries on 5 continents. Many of Iceland’s first known cases were traced to Ischgl. In March, nearly half the cases in Norway were linked to Austrian ski holidays. 9 months into an outbreak that has killed a million people worldwide, Ischgl is where the era of global tourism, made possible by cheap airfares and open borders, collided with a pandemic. For decades, as trade and travel drew the world closer, public health policy, enshrined by treaty, encouraged global mass tourism by calling for open borders, even during outbreaks. But what is now clear is that the policy was about politics and economics more than public health, experts say. At least 1,000 people from dozens of countries intend to sue the Austrian government. A lawyer in Vienna recently filed the first test suits on behalf of 4 visitors, 2 of whom have since died of Covid-19. The lawsuit says the government should have closed the resort earlier and told tourists to stay away.

Rio de Janeiro’s annual carnival parade has been canceled. Even during the 1918 flu pandemic and both World Wars, Rio’s famous carnival went on with the show. But the coronavirus has forced an indefinite suspension of the parade, leaving the city reeling. Faced with a pandemic that has killed more than 142,000 people — a toll second only to the United States — a deep economic crisis, and a president whose inner circle is engulfed in a growing number of criminal and legislative investigations, Rio residents are being deprived of the moment of catharsis many look forward to year-round. The organizers of the parade decided, for the first time since 1932, when Rio’s samba parade became official, to suspend it, depriving the city of an important source of revenue and its citizens of performances that often deliver skewering political commentary. The heads of the city’s leading samba organizations found that without a vaccine, conditions would not be safe. “I want this moment to come, this moment when we will celebrate life that defeats death, when we will reunite, gather,” said Leandro Vieira, the artistic director of @mangueira_oficial, one of Rio’s most traditional samba groups. “But this moment is not possible yet.” Tap the link in our bio to read the latest from Rio on the plans for carnival in 2021.

In the 6 months since Covid-19 brought the nation to a standstill, the opioid epidemic has taken a sharp turn for the worse. More than 40 states have recorded increases in opioid-related deaths since the pandemic began, according to the @amermedicalassn. In Arkansas, the use of Narcan, an overdose-reversing drug, has tripled. Jacksonville, Florida, has seen a 40% increase in overdose-related calls. And in March alone, York County in Pennsylvania recorded 3 times the normal number of overdose deaths. In Vermont, opioid addiction has been a scourge for more than 2 decades. Last year, after aggressive efforts to expand access to treatment, Vermont saw its first decrease in opioid-related deaths since 2014. (That year, then-Gov. Peter Shumlin devoted his entire State of the State Message to what he called “a full-blown heroin crisis” gripping Vermont.) But Vermont saw 82 opioid overdoses through July of this year, up from 60 during the same period last year. One of those was Jefrey Cameron (2nd photo), 29, who died of an overdose in June. When Vermont shut down in March, so did Cameron’s job at a local pizza shop in Barre, Vermont, which provided his biggest support network. For Cameron, the shutdown of daily life in the spring not only led him back to drugs, but to using alone — an especially dangerous proposition. “He was home alone a lot more,” said his mother, Tara Reil. “And I think the drug became his friend.” Tap the link in our bio to read more about the nationwide increase of drug overdoses.
