Obey Giant partnered with Unite in Advance on Art for Freedom, a multi-piece art series interpreting three First Amendment freedoms, speech, press, and assembly, and their role in upholding our democracy.

As America recognizes its 250th anniversary, the series uses bold imagery and public participation to give people a moment to connect these freedoms to their own experience, and spark conversation and civic engagement around the freedoms that allow communities to exercise their rights. The art is now available to download at artforfreedom.org and we invite you to join us in posting from June 22 through July 20.

These three original works each honor a First Amendment freedom. Download a poster, share across your channels, and add your voice.

Created in recognition of America’s 250th anniversary, this series examines the enduring significance of the freedoms of speech, press, and assembly in a democratic society, drawing on both national symbols and contemporary civic themes to highlight the people who exercise these rights every day, and at a moment when many Americans feel divided from one another and disconnected from public institutions, the series uses art as a unifying force, inviting audiences to consider how these freedoms connect us, how they shape our shared future, and why each generation has a responsibility to uphold them.

Here are all the timings – along with all the additional information you need – for the eighth Grand Prix weekend of the 2026 season from the Red Bull Ring.

Aged 41, Lewis Hamilton has found a new lease of life at Ferrari, but which other sports stars have enjoyed late-career resurgences?

America's state prison systems need ways "to keep people from returning to prison," reports the Wall Street Journal, "when an estimated 40% end up back behind bars within three years."

Part of the problem comes in the form of filing cabinets, manila folders and legacy digital databases. In other words, records for a single prisoner might be kept in a dozen places... Now a group of 19 prison systems are tackling the problem with digital tools and artificial intelligence in some cases. They are contracting with San Francisco nonprofit Recidiviz, whose computer systems bring together prisoner data from its disparate sources into digital dashboards. From there, corrections staff can see information — such as court records and notes from parole-board hearings — about a prisoner or parolee all in one place.

The company says its efforts are working: Recidivism has fallen 16% in the prison population its systems track. It is the result of "just streamlining these workflows and knitting someone's journey together end to end," says Clementine Jacoby, chief executive officer of Recidiviz. Some criminal-justice groups show that recidivism is trending downward in general, though most of that data is nearly a decade old... The statistics from 11 states stop at 2019, and for four states stop at 2016. With 10 other states, no data was reported.

Hadden we vorige week even gemist omdat we van de zon aan het genieten waren, maar wie dus heel nadrukkelijk niet van de zon aan het genieten was: Kempi. De rapper annex vrouwenhatende engnek zat namelijk in de gevangenis. Nadat hij een vrouw die hij bezwangerde aanhoudend bleef bedreigen in de hoop dat ze abortus zou plegen, veroordeelde de rechtbank hem tot zeven maanden celstraf plus een (online)contactverbod. Dat laatste omdat hij maar onzin over zijn slachtoffer bleef verspreiden, en hun inmiddels geboren zoontje herhaaldelijk online zette. Hij ging vervolgens in hoger beroep en negeerde het contactverbod meermaals; een filmpje waarin het kereltje te zien was bleef geruime tijd op zijn sociale media staan. Enig rekenwerk leidde tot een bedrag van 90k, dat Kempi zou moeten maar in de praktijk vermoedelijk niet zal kunnen ophoesten. Tevens moest hij een weekje brommen, en werd dus wakker 40 in de cel. Van harte nog, ouwe reus! Afijn, hij vindt dat hij 'veroordeeld is zonder bewijs' en voelt zich net 'als Tupac in ’95/’96'. Shakur haalde helaas het einde van die periode niet; te hopen is dat Kempi in ieder geval lang genoeg onder ons is om zijn straf uit te zitten. Screenshots van merkwaardig gepoch en welgemeend advies over voorbehoedsmiddelen na de breek.

Dat het warm is in Parijs, dat weten de passagiers die maandagochtend in Amsterdam op de Thalys wachten maar al te goed.

Alan Greenspan moest niets van marktingrijpen weten, maar werd toch voorzitter van de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Hij was zeer machtig maar vergaloppeerde zich aan de vastgoedzeepbel.

Microsoft has managed to break a very basic Outlook function – the ability to include the previous email in a reply. The issue, which afflicts Outlook for Mac, was introduced in version 16.110, build 26061317, which rolled out to users last week. Before the update, the original message appeared in the reply window. After the update, nothing. One affected user said: "It makes it impossible to have a proper email thread because the recipient can't see the conversation history." Another remarked: "This is an extremely frustrating bug in this last update, and I hope a fix is on the way. This is frankly quite disappointing that something major like this completely evaded the software testing process before it was being rolled out." The solution, according to one of Microsoft's forum moderators, is to roll back to a previous version and turn off auto-updating until a fix is released. Great for users in full control of their devices – not so good for anyone with a managed device. Administrators with fleets of Macs running Outlook should brace for helpdesk tickets. In some instances, having a user copy and paste the salient bits of the email they are responding to might not be such a bad thing. We've all had emails that required epic amounts of scrolling to find what started the conversation, so forcing users to think about what they actually need to include is no bad thing. However, disrupting user workflows without warning – well, that is undoubtedly a bad thing. This is, after all, one of the most basic things an email client needs to do, so shipping a product with a bug that breaks this functionality says more about Microsoft's approach to quality than anything else. The Register asked Microsoft for its take on the matter, but the tech behemoth has yet to respond. Microsoft has already delivered a kicking to Apple hardware users in recent weeks. Office 2019 will cease to be useful on the platform in July, or enter a "reduced functionality mode" in Microspeak, with the only option available to users keen to remain Office customers being an upgrade. However, as this latest bug demonstrates, running Microsoft's latest and greatest carries its own risks. ®
