Thousands gathered at the Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday to witness Buddhist monks complete a 108-day, 2,300-mile walk for peace from Texas to the nation's capital, while lawmakers warned of potential airport delays as Congress approached a funding deadline that could shut down the Department of Homeland Security. Additionally, an AI project is bringing Supreme Court decisions to life, and in Mexico City, a weekly ritual on the Paseo de la Reforma showcases the city's diversity.
The Buddhist monks' journey, which began in Texas, culminated in Washington D.C., drawing crowds and leaders from various faith traditions, according to NPR News. Meanwhile, as Friday's funding deadline loomed, the acting head of the Transportation Security Administration, Ha Nguyen McNeill, warned of potential disruptions to air travel. "A lack of funding and predictability of resourcing will pose significant challenges to our ability to deliver transportation security with the level of excellence we expect and Americans deserve," McNeill stated, according to Time.
In other news, an independent project called "On The Docket" is utilizing AI to create visual depictions of U.S. Supreme Court justices reading their decisions, as reported by NPR News. This project aims to expand access to the Supreme Court.
Also, in Mexico City, the Paseo de la Reforma, the city's most important street, closes to car traffic every Sunday, allowing over 100,000 people to enjoy the space on bikes, skates, and rollerblades. "It is my favorite weekly ritual in a city full of rituals, because it showcases the enormity and diversity of this city," said Eyder Peralta of NPR, who witnessed the event.
Finally, Mark Valadez, a writer-producer on "Queen of the South," will serve as showrunner for "Those Little White Lines," an '80s music drama being developed by Brisbanes Red Empire Productions and Organic Media Group, based in Taipei and Los Angeles, according to Variety.
