Volodymyr Zelensky Is TIME's 2022 Person of the Year Read about the people who represent the Spirit of Ukraine in the second part of TIME’s Person of the Year coverage.
The call from the President’s office came on a Saturday evening: Be ready to go the next day, an aide said, and pack a toothbrush. There were no details about the destination or how we would get there, but it wasn’t difficult to guess. Only two days earlier, on the 260th day of the invasion of Ukraine, the Russians had retreated from the city of Kherson. It was the only regional capital they had managed to seize since the start of the all-out war in February, and the Kremlin had promised it would forever be a part of Russia. Now Kherson was free, and Volodymyr Zelensky wanted to get there as soon as possible.

A federal judge blocked the administration's attempts at maintaining the authority last month and set an expiration date for next Wednesday. WorkOpinion: As an American, I want the right to celebrate without fear | CNN But, while this law is important, we - once again - can't quite fully celebrate. Like most weddings, after the celebration, the hard part of the relationship begins. This bill protects us at the federal level and for federal benefits, but if Thomas and the court's far-right majority do "reconsider" the cases that establish rights to privacy, contraception and same-sex marriage, individual states (some of which have leaders who have expressed a clear interest in doing so) could be able to discriminate in how they define marriage, forcing residents who want to recognize their same-sex relationship through marriage to turn to states that don't discriminate. Just like women now have to do for their reproductive choices because of Dobbs. Only once we have firmly guaranteed that every American has the right to marry whom they choose - regardless of sexual orientation - can we fully celebrate. Until then, we must continue to fight.

WorkDay 15: Finding Christmas Joy in The NutcrackerFor about a decade now, seeing “George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker” at New York City Ballet has been the enchanting kickoff of the Christmas season for my teenage daughter and me. She took ballet when she was little. I took dance classes too in younger years. But that’s not the draw. It’s the joy, the storybook wonder of the holiday classic that’s made it a Christmastime mainstay for us. Backstage, we have met Mother Ginger and peeked underneath her huge hooped skirt. We have been photographed with principal dancers. Three days from now, we will once again savor our sumptuous view from orchestra seats in a jewel box of a theater at Lincoln Center, seats so close to the stage that we will tilt our heads back to watch the magical Christmas tree grow to an enormous height. Even last year, amid a resurgence of the coronavirus, our holiday spirit wasn’t dampened when we saw dancers 12 years and older replace the pint-size angels, mice and revelers because of safety protocols and their eligibility for Covid vaccines. The tiny dancers are back this year. They do indeed add sparkle and sweetness. But the sweetest moment for us came in 2019 when “The Nutcracker” broke a barrier with the first Black dancer to play Marie, the brave young heroine. It was a milestone for the production, which dates to 1954. And Marie looked like us! WorkCongress Set to Replace Dred Scott Authors Statue With Thurgood MarshallVirginia’s statue of the Confederate general Robert E.

WorkThe 6 Best Islay Scotch Whiskies Of 2022For those who love big and bold flavors without the peat, Bruichladdich Black Art 10.1 is where it’s at. Unlike its cousins, Octomore and Port Charlotte, Black Art is unpeated—as it always has been. And as its name implies, this entire series of whiskies is cloaked in mystery: Head distiller Adam Hannett has carte blanche as to how he creates this highly-anticipated annual release—no guidelines, no restrictions, and no need to tell the public what kind of magic goes into the making of Black Art. (This is the only line that transparency-forward Bruichladdich keeps mum about.) But here’s what we do know about this latest release, which launched just last month: The casks are “pre-renaissance” from 1993—which means the whisky was distilled before Bruichladdich’s closure (in 1994) and reopening (in 2000) and it’s bottled at 41.5% ABV. And palate-wise, it’s a viscous beauty with rich notes reminiscent of coconut cream, cloudberry preserves, and candied ginger. And then there’s that everlasting finish, which is always a plus in my book. |
