Today in News History

On July 13, several notable moments in the history of News stand out. In 1849, The Charleston Workhouse Slave Rebellion began in Charleston, South Carolina, United States. In 1863, American Civil War: The New York City draft riots begin three days of rioting which will later be regarded as the worst in United States history. In 1922, Helmy Afify Abd El-Bar, Egyptian military commander (died 2011) was born. In 1941, World War II: Montenegrins begin the Trinaestojulski ustanak (Thirteenth of July Uprising), a popular revolt against the Axis powers. In 1961, Tahira Asif, Pakistani politician (died 2014) was born. In 1977, Somalia declares war on Ethiopia, starting the Ogaden War. In 1977, New York City: Amidst a period of financial and social turmoil experiences an electrical blackout lasting nearly 24 hours that leads to widespread fires and looting. In 1990, Lenin Peak disaster: a 6.4-magnitude earthquake in Afghanistan triggers an avalanche on Lenin Peak, killing 43 climbers in the deadliest mountaineering disaster in history. In 2008, Battle of Wanat begins when Taliban and al-Qaeda guerrillas attack US Army and Afghan National Army troops in Afghanistan. The U.S. deaths were, at that time, the most in a single battle since the beginning of operations in 2001. In 2011, Mumbai is rocked by three bomb blasts during the evening rush hour, killing 26 and injuring 130. Together, these milestones provide historical context for today's news news and ongoing narratives.

It’s terrorism, plain and simple

Terrorism’s overarching aims tend to be highly symbolic, baseless and unreasonable. Strikes against the “ruling class” and the “enemy of the people” – and the collateral losses that may result from them – are not imbued with any strategic wisdom simply because those responsible adopt a particular name or publish a political manifesto.

A moment that changed me: my grandpa risks his life to litter pick – and he taught me a profound lesson

I thought I knew what it was to be a good citizen. But after seeing him scramble up a ditch, beaming with pride at his rubbish-filled bag, I realised what it actually involvesI’ve always thought of myself as a good person: a good citizen and a good member of my community – at least in the ethical sense of the word. I presumed being good required refraining from harming the world and the people within it. An example of this being that I never litter.However, when I moved home to Staffordshire after graduating in the summer of 2025, my understanding of what it means to be a good citizen – what it means to be “good” altogether – changed significantly.

The Pursuit of Happiness

The famous second sentence of the Declaration of Independence enumerates three “unalienable Rights.” The first is life, naturally. The second is liberty. Those concepts are rather standard. But the third–the pursuit of happiness–is not. It is an expression of Jefferson’s genius, I think, and it contains the seeds of what has made America unique. You will find it no other national charter, in no international human rights document. It is

REVIEW: ‘Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass’

It’s not often that you can use the word silly to describe a movie, but when you can, you might be talking about something special, something inspired. I don’t mean a movie that embarrasses itself by making a complete hash of its subject, causing you to roll your eyes and shake your head. I mean a movie that wants to be silly and still hold your attention and entertain you. It’s a fiendishly tough thing to pull off. A deliberately silly movie is a high-wire act. It has to evoke the real world to get us involved in the story it’s telling and then create its own bonkers reality—and once it does so, it needs to keep topping itself in the silliness department because otherwise it will run out of gas.
