[Mother Jones Daily Newsletter](
July 22, 2020
Good afternoon. Today's category on the Mother Jones Daily quiz show is: CANADIAN AMERICAN ICONS.
For $200: This Jeopardy! host once moderated a 2018 gubernatorial debate in Pennsylvania.
Who is Alex Trebek?
For one, he turns 80 todayâa remarkable milestone given that he announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer more than a year ago, in March 2019. He released his memoir, The Answer Is..., yesterday. I can't say I am a big enough Jeopardy! fan to read 300 pages about Trebek's life, but I am looking forward to the new reruns of the game show coming to Netflix July 28. In the meantime, I'll keep rewatching my favorite spinoff show, [Jeffpardy](!

SOME GOOD NEWS, FOR ONCE
[4 Days Away From the 30th Anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act](
This Sunday marks the ADA’s 30th anniversary, and a host of celebrations, conversations, and demonstrations is in store, from [livestreams]( to [parties](, [protests](, and new [projects](. An open [Zoom]( is scheduled to talk about opportunities for students with disabilities across campuses and in sports, hosted by the City University of New York, and the National Center on Disability and Journalismâs â30 for 30â campaign is going strong [@ASUNCDJ]( and [#NCDJ30for30](âwith story prompts on NCDJâs [site](. The New York Timesâ disability section is newly available in audio and digital Braille, with improved alt-text, and has its own style guide.
The landmark legislationâs anniversary is an occasion for questions that need answers even and especially when the occasion isnât shared: What does a more equitable, accessible world look like, and how can we create it in the face of systemic injustice during the coronavirus pandemic? A timely conversation worth returning to is Nelufar Hedayatâs #DearWorld Live [episode]( about coping constructively with health challenges in isolation. (Hedayat, who also hosts the [Course Correction]( podcast, co-presented yesterdayâs global [debate on socialism]( and whether the pandemic is a catalyst for radical change and new pathways to equality.)
