Mine was the fact that Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Jr were both born in 1929 😭

Oh it gets better (or worse?) there are plenty of color photographs from Dr King's 1963 march and speech. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kennethbachor/rare-color-martin-luther-king-photos

At least this is somewhat more excusable since newspapers were still mostly using B&W. The color photos would have been for the weekly or monthly news magazines which were using color.

Virginia Supreme Court rules U.S. Marine’s adoption of an Afghan war orphan will stand

Worse, an adoption that was conducted in violation of the laws of war.

The Marine committed a war crime and he should be court martialed. The judges who ruled in his favor are accessories to a war crime. As per the supremacy clausr, the Geneva Convention supercedes state law.

"Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive."
