ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES
The public has a right to know, and The
Times is dedicated to that principle and the
“continued enlightenment and freedom of
the people of North Georgia,” as engraved
outside our building.
The pursuit of truth is a fundamental
principle of journalism. But the truth is not
always apparent or known immediately.
A professional journalist’s role is to
report as completely and impartially
as possible verifiable facts so readers
can, based on their own knowledge and
experience, determine what they believe
to be the truth. That is often an ongoing
pursuit as journalists work to uncover
stories and follow those stories wherever
they lead, regardless of preconceived
ideas.
The news they report is separate from
the opinions shared in the pages of The
Times, which include those by its editorial
board, columnists, political cartoonists
and readers who submit letters to the
editor.
The presentation of both news and
opinions is designed to educate, entertain
and foster community conversation.
Readers are encouraged to challenge and
sharpen their perceptions based on that
presentation.
And we encourage readers to do the
same for us, offering news tips, criticisms
and questions.
As your honestly local news source, we
serve our readers first.

CELEBRITY REPORT
Social media, music world go
dark for Black Out Tuesday
Though Black Out Tuesday was origi
nally organized by the music community,
the social media world also went dark in
support of the Black Lives Matter move
ment, joining voices around the world out
raged by the killings of black people in the
U.S.
Instagram and Twitter accounts, from
top record label to everyday people, were
full of black squares posted in response
to the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud
Arbery and Breonna Taylor.
Most of the captions were blank, though
some posted #TheShowMustBePaused,
black heart emojis or encouraged people
to vote Tuesday with seven states and the
District of Columbia are hosting the largest
slate of presidential primary elections in
almost three months.
Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Radiohead, Cold-
play, Kelly Rowland, Beastie Boys and
were among the celebrities to join Black
Out Tuesday on social media.
“I won’t be posting on social media and I
ask you all to do the same,” Britney Spears
tweeted. “We should use the time away
from our devices to focus on what we can
do to make the world a better place ... for
ALL of us!!!!!”
Spotify blacked out the artwork for sev
eral of its popular playlists, including Rap-
Caviar and Today’s Top Hits, simply writing
“Black lives matter.” as its description. The
streaming service also put its Black Lives
Matter playlist on its front page, featur
ing songs like James Brown’s “Say It Loud
— I’m Black and I’m Proud,” N.W.A.’s
“(Expletive) the Police,” Sam Cooke’s “A
Change Is Gonna Come” and Childish Gam-
bino’s “This Is America.”
The opening pages of Apple Music and
iTunes focused on supporting Black Lives
Matter, and SiriusXM said it will be silenc
ing its music channels for three minutes at
3 p.m. EDT in tribute to “all of the countless
victims of racism.”
The company said it “will continue to
amplify Black voices by being a space
where Black artists showcase their music
and talents, and by carrying the message
that racism will not be tolerated. ”
Some on social media questioned if post
ing black squares would divert attention
away from posts about the Black Lives Mat
ter movement.
“this is the 4th completely different flyer
i’ve seen for it,” Grammy-nominated singer
Kehlani tweeted about Black Out Tuesday,
“’’this is the only one without the saying go
completely silent for a day in solidarity,
the messages are mixed across the board
and i really hope it doesn’t have a negative
effect.”
When musician Dillon Francis posted
that the hashtag for Black Lives Matter was
blank on Instagram because users were
posting black squares, rapper Lil Nas X
responded with: “this is not helping us. bro
who the (expletive) thought of this?? ppl
need to see what’s going on.”
Several music releases and events were
postponed as a result of Black Out Tues
day. Interscope Geffen A&M Records said
it would not release music this week and
pushed back releases from MGK, 61ack,
Jessie Ware, Smokepurp and others. Chloe
x Halle said its sophomore album will come
out June 12 instead of Friday, while the
group Glass Animals postponed the Tues
day release of its new single “Heat Waves.”
Instead of being released Wednesday,
singer Ashnikko will drop her song “Cry”
and its video on June 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
While it is difficult to see be
yond the environment one is
immersed in, it is absolutely
essential to personal respon
sibility. In a sick society, the
status quo can be a terrible
thing to uphold and protect.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A
person who doesn’t know his
or her own motives can do as
much harm as one who hides
or is dishonest about them. To
know what you want and why
you want it is powerful and
inspires trust.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You value intelligence and
realize that there are many
different kinds. You’ll attract
others who value intelligence
and have similar or comple
mentary kinds to yours.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
However you treat yourself,
you are inviting the world,
either consciously or un
consciously, to treat you
this same way. To bend over
backward and give yourself
respect and care is com
pletely worthwhile.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
give your love in many forms:
in the support of your friend
ship, the generosity of your
conversational style, your
warmth and charm, or the
forthrightness of your pursuit.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
What is keeping you from at
tracting the things you want?
You’ll give the question some
serious thought and come up
with a strategy for adjusting
your output to change the
input.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Even
though you like and accept
yourself for who you are, ulti
mately, you want to improve
and grow. So when people
challenge you, it’s not a deal
breaker. You’ll see what you
can learn.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You want to help people and
make them happy, but you
also recognize that this is not
your job, obligation or pur
pose. If you only make your
self happy, that’s one more
happy person in the world.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You show people what
you value in the way you live.
It is therefore unnecessary, or
even detracting, to say much
else about it. Your example
speaks volumes.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). There’s something you
want to know. You could take
a class. You could read up.
Or you could just jump in. If
the process is left to trial and
error, most of the learning will
come from error.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18).
These independent issues
you’re dealing with may actu
ally be more connected than
you realize. Look for patterns,
with a keen eye to that old
classic “cause and effect.”
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
As you take care of yourself,
you are taking care of all the
people who love you, the
ones who depend on you,
and even ones you don’t
know but with whom you hap
pen to share a community.
