In the past five years, DFC and its predecessor, Overseas Private Investment Corporation, approved almost $4 billion for overseas fossil fuel projects. In addition, EXIM has approved over $5 billion for fossil fuel projects abroad in just the last two years. Conspicuously missing is any commitment to curb fossil fuel financing by the U.S. Export-Import Bank (EXIM), which is the U.S. export credit agency and the largest source of U.S. Government financing for fossil fuel projects abroad. This failure stands in stark contrast to the United Kingdom’s ending of its support for overseas fossil fuel projects as of March 31, 2021. These institutions finance billions in fossil fuel projects a year, and importantly, also influence policy changes in client countries that enable fossil fuel expansion and dependency.

WASHINGTON - Today, many in the US will shift their focus to climate change and the myriad ways people can work to stop it. Frontline communities will continue organizing trans-locally to fight the bad and build the new in their own neighborhoods, cities and states. One key objective of this summit and COP26 for the Biden Administration is “to catalyze efforts that keep that 1.5-degree goal within reach. Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) welcomes US commitments to pay their fair share and invest in a Green Climate Fund. However, the focus on promoting market-based approaches and unproven techno-fixes will only further harm Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) communities here and in the Global South.

WASHINGTON - Today, the House of Representatives voted to pass H.R. 51, a bill to formally establish the State of Washington, Douglass Commonwealth as the 51st state in our union. H.R.51, which the House passed today, would finally end this inexcusable hypocrisy that has left more than half a million U.S citizens without an equal say in our government. Today's vote by the House of Representatives and the White House’s statement of support underscore just how vital D.C. statehood is to ensuring that our democracy is fair and representative of everyone who calls this country home. I hope the United States Senate will follow the leadership of the People's House and establish Washington D.C as our 51st state."

Commitments from the Biden administration, including reports of a 50% reduction of emissions at 2005 levels by 2030, fall short of the United States’s fair share of global climate action. There can be no meaningful climate action if we don’t keep all fossil fuels in the ground. The climate clock, which has been on display in New York, Union Square is a reminder of the urgent need to take immediate climate action at scale. “There can be no meaningful climate action if world leaders don’t make a decisive move to keep all fossil fuels in the ground. The Biden Summit is a critical meeting of world leaders ahead of COP26 this November.

WASHINGTON - A comprehensive report released today by the national advocacy organization Food & Water Watch outlines the crisis state of the country’s food system, including detailed analysis on the severe damage levied on society by unchecked corporate monopolies dominating the system. The report, “Well-Fed: A Roadmap to a Sustainable Food System that Works For All,” offers a corrective policy blueprint that includes sweeping federal legislation and an overhaul of the country’s farm safety net. The report outlines the alarming degree of corporate consolidation in the food industry and its impact on consumers and small farms. These and other conditions have had a devastating effect on consumer choice and costs, and small farm income and stability. “The COVID pandemic laid bare many of the systemic crises in our food system today, all of which are exacerbated by unchecked corporate consolidation,” said Food & Water Watch Executive Director Wenonah Hauter.

There is no reason that money earned through wealth and investments should be taxed at a lower rate than the money that people earn from work. Biden has the right idea—our tax code should value work over wealth. Millionaires like me who sit around and live off of our investments should not pay a lower tax rate than Americans who work for a living. Take it from a millionaire investor—investors don’t need any extra incentive to invest. What else are we going to do with our money, put it in a mattress?

WASHINGTON - The following is a statement from Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works, on the reintroduction of H.R. 3, the Lower Drug Costs Now Act:“The Lower Drug Costs Now Act is an important first step towards taking on Big Pharma’s greed and lowering drug prices for everyone in America. Furthermore, he should reinvest the savings into Medicare by lowering the eligibility age and adding vision, hearing, and dental benefits. Not only is lowering drug prices a moral necessity, it’s also a political no-brainer. Democratic, Republican, and independent voters all overwhelmingly support bold action to lower drug prices.

WASHINGTON - As part of its International Climate Finance Plan announced during today’s Leaders Summit on Climate, the Biden Administration committed to "end international investments in and support for carbon-intensive fossil fuel-based energy projects" at multilateral and bilateral finance agencies such as the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and U.S. Export-Import Bank. While welcome, the announcement fell short of other recent commitments by other institutions and countries. In response to the announcement, Collin Rees, Senior Campaigner at Oil Change International made the following statement:SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Nonprofit. "Today’s announcement by President Biden on international finance for fossil fuels is a welcome step, but the lack of firm commitments falls short of what’s needed. "We urge the Biden administration to add a clear commitment to an immediate phase-out, with no loopholes for gas or any other continued fossil support."

WASHINGTON - Today, world leaders have gathered virtually at a so-called “Leaders Summit on Climate” hosted by the Biden administration. In response, Oil Change International experts provided the following statements:David Turnbull, Strategic Communications Director:“True climate leadership requires a full reckoning with the realities of what’s driving our climate crisis: fossil fuels. “Continued fossil fuel production impacts those on the frontlines of extraction and related infrastructure every day, adding to the historic injustices our extractive economy has perpetuated. Korea announced an end to coal financing, and, though woefully incomplete, the US reiterated it is taking steps towards ending overseas finance for fossil fuels. Distant carbon neutrality pledges and revised NDCs will continue to ring hollow as long as countries fail to address the root of the climate crisis: our continued reliance on fossil fuels.”###

WASHINGTON - In response to the House of Representatives vote to grant D.C. statehood, Ellen Sciales, Press Secretary of Sunrise Movement, released the following statement:“Every good bill that passes in the House and dies in the Senate is a reminder that our democracy is broken. Today, Sunrise celebrates the hard work activists took to ensure the passage of D.C. statehood in the House. But the truth is, we cannot come close to fixing our democracy and granting D.C. residents the representation they deserve until Democrats get serious about abolishing the filibuster. “Today we remember that the filibuster, a significant obstacle to D.C. statehood, was popularized by white supremacists to prevent the passing of civil rights legislation. “Democrats have a majority in the House, Senate, and a President who claims he is ready to take action.

To clear my thoughts, to forget, I opened my window, let in the winter air, and breathed deep. The pandemic had by then killed more Americans than had died in World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War combined—and it wasn't done with us yet. Every November 11th, on Veterans Day, our world still remembers and celebrates the moment World War I officially ended. "Collectively, we obviously wrongly shared a feeling that Americans would be fine," Lincoln said of the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. My inner misanthrope says no, but certainly the odds improve if we don't delete this pandemic from history like the last one.

WASHINGTON - Today, President Biden has world governmental leaders attending his virtual Leaders Summit on Climate Change. The world governments invited include 17 countries responsible for about 80% of all global emissions. “Net-zero” emissions sounds like it cuts emissions to zero but it does not. “Net-zero” emissions pretend to “remove” pollution with false solutions to climate change to justify polluting more. However, these techno-fixes are expensive, unproven, unjust and do not address the root causes of climate change nor support environmental justice.

Hamilton describes his concern for human rights as being global, and has expressed concern about human rights violations taking place in countries that Formula 1 travels to. His willingness to speak out comes at an opportune time, as 2021 is the first year that Formula 1 will go to Saudi Arabia. By blockading Yemen's main port of Hodeidah, Saudi Arabia is intentionally starving an entire population. Shortly after Saudi Arabia allowed women to drive, they rounded up the very women who had campaigned for the change. Human rights advocates and F1 fans are glad Lewis Hamilton is part of the Black Lives Matter Movement.

WASHINGTON - Wade Henderson, interim president and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, released the following statement after the Senate passed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act:“There has been a devastating spike in hate incidents and violence targeting the Asian American community, as well as other people of color, religious minorities, immigrants, people with disabilities, and the LGBTQ community. By passing the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, with the Khalid Jabara and Heather Heyer National Opposition to Hate, Assault, and Threats to Equality Act (Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act) as an amendment, the Senate is recognizing the urgency of this moment and the need to improve hate crimes reporting and invest in communities targeted for hate. More accurate reporting and data would help to create community-centered solutions to prevent and report hate crimes and help law enforcement carry out its duty to protect and serve communities targeted for hate. We applaud the Senate for this vote, and call on the House of Representatives to pass this important legislation so the president can sign it into law.”The Leadership Conference urged Congress to pass the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act earlier this month. The letter is available here.

That's right, the world's biggest banks are responsible for fueling the climate crisis. According to a report from the Rainforest Action Network, the world's 60 biggest banks have financed $3.8 trillion worth of fossil fuel companies, just since the passage of the Paris Climate Agreement. America's largest banks—JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and CitiGroup—have each put more than $200 billion of fossil fuel interests in the past five years. Of course, the banks don't want you to know that. Unlike the big banks, these options don't use deposits to fund oil pipelines, fossil fuel companies, or other investments that contribute to climate destruction.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington on Thursday reiterated its call for the ouster of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, the Republican megadonor accused of attempting to sabotage the U.S. Today, Biden’s nominees to the USPS Board of Governors will testify before a Senate committee. "If you want to save the USPS," it added, "you have to fire Louis DeJoy." Under "Delivering for America"—denounced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) as a "pathetic 10-year plan to weaken USPS," DeJoy would raise prices, cut administrative costs, and slow down deliveries. "To that end, an additional question we'd appreciate you clearing up for us tomorrow: will you move to fire Postmaster General DeJoy for his arson, and if not, why not?"

Such thoughts passed through my mind on the publication of former Speaker of the House John Boehner’s memoir, On the House. After Boehner made a speech denouncing congressional earmarks in 2011, Young (a master practitioner of pork barrel politics) confronted the speaker just off the House floor and, according to Boehner, held a 10-inch knife to his throat. Where Boehner withholds the truth concerns his own motivation, and the media have not done a good job smoking this out. Boehner was a mere windsock, a ventriloquist’s dummy for the Republican Freedom Caucus and its menagerie of loonies. John Boehner was pretty much always in favor of Trump; his objections were just a stylistic thing.

Over time, the United States has emitted more CO2 than any other country—since 1751, adding roughly a quarter of total historical emissions. Today, China and the United States emit almost half of the world's carbon dioxide: In 2020, China released almost 30 percent and the United States 15 percent. As of late 2020, more than 1 in 4 Americans—over 100 million of us—lived in places committed to using 100 percent clean electricity. I grew up in Texas, where oil is king, and my home state's leadership on clean energy is an energizing surprise. Another state probably not linked with green energy innovation in the minds of many is Georgia.

Just ahead of the gathering, President Joe Biden announced new U.S. commitments to meeting the goals set forth in the 2015 Paris climate agreement and said that the nation will now aim to reduce annual carbon output by 52% compared to 2005 levels. "Our clean energy plan will create millions of good-paying union jobs, ensure our economic competitiveness, and improve the health and security of communities across America," Biden said in a declaration released ahead of the summit. "By making those investments and putting millions of Americans to work, the United States will be able to cut our greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030." But, without support from our readers, we simply don't exist. Watch the summit live:

That same day, India reported 1,341 coronavirus deaths. On Wednesday, the country reported a record-shattering 2,104 deaths from Covid-19 as experts fear a more contagious "double mutant" strain of the virus is driving the surge. "Patents should be disregarded and technology transferred as needed to maximize global vaccine production everywhere." According to the latest figures from Our World in Data, India has fully vaccinated just 1.3% of its population. "Patents should be disregarded and technology transferred as needed to maximize global vaccine production everywhere," Gaffney added.

Here, Thunberg explains why she wants our leaders to move beyond "big words and little action" when it comes to tackling the climate crisis. On Earth Day 2021, April 22nd, at the Leaders' Climate Summit led by United States president Joe Biden, countries will present their new climate commitments, including net-zero by 2050. However, when you compare the overall current best-available science to these insufficient, so-called "climate targets," you can clearly see that there's a gap—there are decades missing where drastic action must be taken. But we must not forget that while we can fool others and even ourselves, we cannot fool nature and physics. If you call these pledges and commitments "bold" or "ambitious," then you clearly haven't fully understood the emergency we are in.

President Biden took office promising a new era of American international leadership and diplomacy. Biden's procrastination has only strengthened the influence of the hawkish Washington foreign policy "blob," Republicans and Democratic hawks in Congress and foreign allies like Netanyahu in Israel. Unlike Trump, Biden has been at the heart of American politics and foreign policy since the 1970s. The dangerous disconnect at the heart of Biden's foreign policy is the result of this dichotomy between the neocons' conquest of Washington and their abject failure to conquer the rest of the world. For a president who promised a new era of American diplomacy, this has been a dreadful start.

Bowman's response will be aimed at praising Biden for strides he's made in representing progressives' policy priorities, while also pushing him to go further. "He laid out this agenda to be big and bold, and we're saying, 'Game on.'" @JamaalBowmanNY will offer a bold, progressive vision for how we will deliver jobs and care to the American people and make sure everyone who calls this country home can thrive. It's important for us as progressives to continue to push and continue to organize." Honored to deliver the response to President Biden's address next week with @WorkingFamilies.

"This historic, bipartisan vote... is a powerful message of solidarity to our AAPI community," Hirono said following the measure's passage.

Voting rights advocates urged the U.S. Senate on Thursday to pass legislation establishing statehood for Washington, D.C., after the House's historic vote in favor of the move. The House voted for the second time in history to grant full representation to Washington's 700,000 full-time residents, passing the Washington, D.C.

—Heidi Chow, Global Justice Now"COVAX was never intended to go far enough or fast enough to end the pandemic. "Rich countries need to support an intellectual property waiver for Covid-19 vaccines and force big pharma to share their vaccine blueprints with the world." "Getting the world vaccinated is not about some feel-good gestures, like a few billion dollars for COVAX... "The U.S. government and partners can retrofit facilities to produce eight billion mRNA vaccine doses, enough for half the world's population," said Maybarduk. "It means pulling out all the stops to produce and distribute billions of vaccines as quickly as possible," Baker added.

—Greta ThunbergPosted online by NowThis News, the video featuring Thunberg comes as a warning from the well-known global climate campaigner that the people of the world should not be fooled by the lofty rhetoric they will hear at the summit. "At the Leaders' Climate Summit, countries will present their new climate commitments, like net-zero emissions by 2050," Thunberg says in the video. But when you compare our insufficient targets with the overall current best available science, you clearly see that there's a gap. And the gap between our so-called climate targets and the overall, current best-available science should no longer be possible to ignore." Along with other witnesses, Thunberg is testifying before congressional lawmakers on Thursday during a hearing convened by the House Subcommittee on the Environment.

Kavanaugh wrote the SCOTUS opinion holding that juveniles can be sentenced to life without parole. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote what Mark Joseph Stern, Slate's staff writer covering courts, called the "dishonest and barbaric" majority opinion (pdf). Today's decision is pretty much the worst case scenario for opponents of juvenile life without parole (myself included). "Children are constitutionally different from adults for purposes of sentencing," Sotomayor wrote, referencing studies that have confirmed "juveniles are less mature and responsible than adults." — Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) April 22, 2021"Jones should know that, despite the court's decision today, what he does in life matters," wrote Sotomayor.

At 4:00 pm ET, a similar event took place not far away in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where Johnson & Johnson is based. Big pharma monopolies = countries waiting until 2023 for widespread vaccination @Pfizer @Moderna_tx @BioNTech_Group @AstraZeneca @Novavax @JNJNews must #JoinCTAP + share vaccines with the world. With momentum for a patent waiver building, the coalition behind the current week of action hopes to shed light on Big Pharma's profiteering and persuade Biden to help end vaccine apartheid. A banner calling for a people's vaccine will be dropped at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, located in Seattle, on Sunday. In the absence of a patent waiver, "millions of people in the Global South will not get access to the vaccine until 2024," tweeted People's Action.

"It's D.C. statehood, voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights, criminal legal and immigration reform, gun violence prevention, workers' rights—or it's the filibuster." "We urge Senate Democrats to do what it takes to pass an agenda that meets the needs of everyday people, including eliminating the filibuster," the letter continues. "It's D.C. statehood, voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights, criminal legal and immigration reform, gun violence prevention, workers' rights—or it's the filibuster," Bush wrote. It's DC statehood, voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights, criminal legal & immigration reform, gun violence prevention, workers rights—or it's the filibuster. "Filibuster reform is critical for advancing racial justice," Roberts added.

As the world marks Earth Day and U.S. President Joe Biden hosts global leaders at his virtual climate summit, a leading advocacy group on Thursday urged his administration to eschew "market-based approaches and techno-fixes" and instead pursue "real solutions" to the planetary emergency. —Climate Justice AllianceClimate Justice Alliance (CJA), a collective of over 70 community-based climate justice groups, commended Biden for reengaging with the international effort to combat the climate crisis following four years of denial and inaction by the Trump administration. Other climate campaigners also used Earth Day to admonish world leaders they say are failing to do what's necessary to confront the climate emergency. "But most importantly, all of these solutions must be emitted with the voices of Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities as leaders and decision-makers." Originally scheduled for later in the day: 19-year old Mexican-born climate activist Xiye Bastida appeared earlier in today's #ClimateSummit.

Berenson’s primary evidence that masks don’t work is a randomized controlled trial conducted in Denmark last year that aimed to find out if surgical masks offer protection to the general public. Elsewhere in Unreported Truths, Berenson acknowledges that surgical masks provide some protection:The scientists found the surgical masks barely worked. As long as they’re made right (more on that in a second), washable cotton masks are a more accessible and sustainable option. N95 masks are designed with this effect in mind: they’re made with extremely fine fibers of polypropylene plastic that readily holds a charge. Outward mask efficiency could range from practically zero to over 80 percent for homemade masks, with 50 percent perhaps typical, while surgical masks and N95 masks are likely 50–90 percent and 70–100 percent outwardly protective, respectively.

And thanks to Darnella Frazier, we know the truth. Biden can set himself apart from his recent predecessors by supporting the work of whistleblowers, especially national security whistleblowers. The Trump administration went after Hale hard, and many of us thought that the Biden Justice Department would back off his prosecution. Darin Jones & FBI ContractsFBI whistleblower and former supervisory contract specialist Darin Jones is yet another example. Just don’t hold your breath that he will, nice comments to the Floyd family and about Darnella Frazier notwithstanding.

The Florida Clerk of Courts Operations Corporations estimated that at least $20.8 million of its revenue came from the payment of license suspension debt. “The creation of all these offenses … create these regulations that have to be enforced; they make it so everyone is constantly breaking the law or out of regulation. They generate revenue by over-policing,” Dindial said. For instance, the authors of the report found that each year, over 100,000 Coloradans lose their licenses because of unpaid traffic debt or failure to appear in court. In 2019, Florida issued 1.2 million license suspension notices, 70 percent of which stemmed from the failure to pay fines and fees.

We saw this bait and switch tactic before in President Joe Biden’s earlier announcement about ending U.S support for the long, miserable war in Yemen. These other “offensive operations” by the U.S. that will continue unabated in Yemen include drone strikes, cruise missile attacks and special forces raids. Whatever his intentions, Biden’s calls for peace, in Afghanistan as in Yemen, while pursuing war by drone, ring hollow. Talk of peace in Afghanistan, Yemen, the streets of the U.S., is not coherent while waging wars with drones. Brian Terrell is an Iowa based peace activist who has spent more than six months in prison for protesting targeted assassinations at U.S. military drone bases.

He was born and brought up in Boston; I was raised in South Florida, and moved to Boston for college. But in his first few months of driving in Chicago, he discovered this was not necessarily so.

But we only have a small window to accomplish, what is needed for President Biden's agenda and hopefully his second term. When I think about what our government sometimes looks like ... "dysfunctional" was the word that came to mind. But "The Crown" still made me think what a waste of tax money and resources. President Biden had to look for someone else, as if he didn't have the party majority. Heaven forbid, Trump gets back in office, then there might be more similarities to "The Crown" that I don't want to think about.

Received this e-mail today from Governor Jared Polis’ (D. CO) re-election campaign:Almost 70% of Colorado’s most vulnerable population, those aged 60 and older, are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccine is available to all Coloradans ages 16 and up. In Colorado we’re seeing a 93-95% reduction in reported positive cases of COVID-19 among vaccinated people compared to non-vaccinated. 4) We are seeing concerning COVID-19 case trends in parts of our state where fewer folks are taking advantage of the vaccine. If you live in Southern Colorado and have not yet received your vaccine, there are many appointments available.

Egged on by firebrand and reverse racist Maxine Waters, with an assist from the doddering but inflammatory President Joe Biden. Kayleigh McEnany, professional liar and bottle-blond, added jaw-dropping hypocrisy to the Fox mix. McEnany is blaming Biden for inflaming people who are inflamed every day by the cable channel she works for. Talking about Fox inflaming its audience, here’s the top of the Fox News website today. And if it is, is it so big it merits 6 out of the 7 lead stories Fox dedicates to it?

When the Democrats swept the Lincoln city elections in 2019, the local economy was booming and there appeared to be blue skies ahead. Fortunately for the people of Lincoln, Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird and the five Democrats on the City Council rose to the occasion. All of this was done over the bitter opposition of right wing city council member Roy Christensen, Pete Ricketts and the Nebraska Republican Party. Those decisions turned out to be correct ones and Lincoln has made tremendous headway in mitigating the pandemic. The GOP incumbent city council member has a budget that proposes lower taxes and more services at the same time.

As a Black woman and a US Navy veteran who served during Desert Shield, it's even traumatizing to watch what happened to Lieutenant Caron Nazario in Windsor, Virginia. People are asking for accountability from the law enforcement officers. We are asking for accountability when a law enforcement officer does the unthinkable.

I wrote a diary earlier this month detailing the fact that Iowa last year had substantially increased it’s wind power generation capacity and had nearly achieved 60% of the energy generated in the state being generated by wind power. I also talked a bit about solar energy development in the state and that our solar power generation is projected to increase as new projects come online. The Des Moines Register today has more details on these solar projects, which will result in a 9-fold increase in the state’s solar capacity. In all, the projects represent a combined 1,739 megawatts of solar power generation, some of which is already online. One of the 100 megawatt solar projects under development in the state is a MidAmerican project.

You should be too,” Chase told a crowd in King William County, which is east of Richmond. Her comments about the Chauvin verdict drew censure from Democrats and progressives.

The reputation for rampant racism at Fox News has been well established over many years. On Thursday morning Fox News provided additional evidence of their embrace of overt bigotry. Next to James, Fox News placed Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, a favorite target of Fox. Neither James nor Waters ever incited violence (unlike Donald Trump and his Fox News shills). Fox News ran numerous segments on these subjects that they repeatedly - and falsely - described as "putting a target" on the backs of police.

Then the server owner came on and said “OH But you’re a transwoman with an intersexed condition, you can’t be raped.”I got pissed, as did several other members of the server, but Cael wanted to continue the cheering people up rather than letting the server owner bring everyone down. About twenty minutes later my friend Cael contacted me and told me that everyone in the server had left after the server owner said one thing after I left. “Good now the freak is gone.” That line pissed off my friend Cael who is an enby and their wife is trans as well. Cael was the last one to leave the server owner alone in there simply because they were ripping the owner of the server a new one.

I actually think Brett Farve is correct about Chauvin not meaning to kill George Floyd. Guilty of being reckless with a black person's life because he couldn't have cared less about Floyd's humanity one way or another? Like a lot of white people who, though not guilty of first degree racism, are absolutely, positively guilty of second degree racism -- guilty of discounting black people's opinions regarding how we are faring in society, where sometimes it really is hard to breath with all that's pressing down on us. And they are beginning to get a little peeved that people are trying to put it on their radar. Though they will deny it, many modern conservatives are the perfect embodiment of second degree racism and the harm to life that results because, like Chauvin to the camera and crowd, they do not care to listen.

Another of Pinellas County FL’s very nice parks, this one is located in Largo, a suburb of St Pete. It has hiking trails, a nature center, and some rehabbed raptors. Some photos from a visit. For those who don't know, I lived in a converted campervan and traveled around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I visited. But the pandemic has clipped my wings, and I am now holed up in Florida until I can begin traveling again.

thehill.com/…Are we trying this dance again The Republicans do not bargain in good faith They will put a bill that accomplishes nothing; vote against it and them run against it in the midterms How many times do have to burn our hands on a hot stove before we realize “we get burnedFROM THE ARTICLE:Republicans have largely balked at Biden's American Jobs Plan proposal, which outlines $2.3 trillion worth of spending to invest in roads, bridges, railways, electric vehicles, broadband, long-term care workers, weatherizing buildings and climate friendly industries. Biden proposed paying for the plan through an increase in the corporate tax rate, though he has said he'd be willing to discuss ways to fund the proposal. The proposal unveiled Thursday by a group of Senate Republicans led by Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) narrowed down the definition of infrastructure and focused on funding for roads and bridges, public transit systems, rail, wastewater infrastructure, airports and broadband infrastructure. Senate Republicans are proposing user fees for electric vehicles and repurposing unused federal spending allocated by the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Congress passed in March to cover the cost of the plan. This alone is unaccountable We need a bold bill that accomplishes something that will improve the lives of most Americans and Yes: give the voters to vote for something in 2021 I hope Biden does not fall for this

“There is something about the way Facebook organizes groups that leads to massive public events. Indeed, that was largely the thrust of the Avaaz report on Facebook’s culpability in the insurrection published March 18, six days before Zuckerberg testified. “This doesn’t even include Facebook Groups, so the number is likely much bigger. The internal Facebook report largely acknowledges this, explaining that the social media giant was outmaneuvered by coordinated accounts that formed a powerful network of groups promoting hate, inciting violence, and spreading lies about the election. However, given Facebook’s refusal to accept culpability in the insurrection, it also makes sense for lawmakers to take steps.

For young children, this transition is purely social—using a different name and pronouns, and dressing in a gender-affirming way. Almost as soon as Arkansas’ bill banning transition care for minors passed, state Republicans introduced new legislation to deny trans people of all ages access to public restrooms. First they say trans children should wait until 18, then 21, and then even adults in their 30s are deemed incompetent to direct their own care. Using misinformation to poison the well of public opinion is a mainstay of both the anti-trans and anti-choices movements. Both the “partial birth” abortion bans and bills to deny transition care effectively leave the courts to determine which procedures are legal, based on confusing and inaccurate descriptions crafted by legislators, not doctors.

Thanks to that 8-point margin, Biden won districts representing 232 seats in the House, while Donald Trump carried just 168. En route to that victory, Sununu won an extraordinary 366 seats in the House to just 34 for his opponent. As a consequence, fully 153 Democrats sit in seats Sununu carried, more than 80% of the caucus; unsurprisingly, no Republicans occupy any Feltes turf. There, Republicans reversed the 14-10 majority Democrats won in 2018 and took a 14-10 majority of their own. Larry Hogan, fellow Old Line State Democrats have known about his interest for some time.

The legitimacy and efficacy of the U.S. Senate could be dramatically increased by a simple internal Senate rule change: go to population weighted voting. But, via this new internal rule, each Senator’s votes would be weighted by the number of people they represent. This power is why the Senate has been able to create its anti-majoritarian filibuster rule. It’s now time to use this rule making power to functionally overcome the greatest blight on our democracy, the malapportionment of the Senate. If support for Senate Rule #45 becomes a broadly understood litmus test for candidates from both parties, people power may just prevail.

Analysis | A key question moving forward: Is Trump’s grip on the GOP stronger than his base’s? https://t.co/yQ7htQJtx5The argument made by a super PAC associated with former national security adviser John Bolton centered on the extent to which Republican voters were still likely to follow Trump’s political lead. The yardstick against which Republican officials are often measured isn’t “Does Trump approve?” but “Does Trump’s base approve?” — a different and trickier calculus. #conspiracytheories #IntoTheStorm https://t.co/r8muhMZqrr — Paste Magazine (@PasteMagazine) April 22, 2021x Trumpism is the GOP. https://t.co/TZZfIT20Ou — The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) April 22, 2021x The Founders never intended for women to vote but here we are.

Arizona’s Democratic secretary of state, Katie Hobbs, expressed her disgust at the attempt by her Republican colleagues to manufacture doubts about the state’s election results for political benefit. “They’re trying to find something that we know doesn’t exist,” said Arizona secretary of state Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, who serves as the state’s top election official. Wood himself claims to have donated $50,000 to the audit effort through his group, Fight Back. The GOP-led state senate has allotted $150,000 in Arizona taxpayer funds to the effort, but that will not cover the entire cost. The spokesman for the audit is a former Republican secretary of state named Ken Bennett.

I heard on the radio that many colleges are not mandating that their students get vaccinated. Which is crazy! How can institutions of higher learning not believe in this basic science? College students are the best spreaders of COVID. Colleges usually mandate that incoming students have MMR and Tetanus vaccines why not require this too?!?

I don’t think they’re going to let go of COVID anytime soon. And to the point where you better impose it, you’re going to shame people, you’re going to force them to carry a card to prove that they’ve been vaccinated so that they can participate in society. Okay, as for not being a “fully approved vaccine,” Johnson appears to be acknowledging that the COVID-19 vaccines are currently being offered through an FDA emergency use authorization. Not sure if you can reasonably say that that means they’re not “fully approved,” but either way, it certainly doesn’t mean they’re not safe. After all, had it been up to Donald Trump, we probably would have had “fully approved” vaccines last April made of fairy dust, cat piss, and nougat.

Before getting to some of the punditry on the Derek Chauvin trial, we have to look at the frightening explosion of COVID-19 cases in India. Astha Saxena reports for Indian Express that Delhi is running out of oxygen supplies. Top private hospitals in Delhi like Max, Fortis, Apollo, and Sir Ganga Ram reached out to the Delhi government regarding depleting oxygen supplies. Marianne Lavelle of Inside Climate News reports on the high stakes of the virtual international climate summit being led by President Biden that begins today. It is chiefly through the work of historians that we remember our presidents—their strengths and successes, their flaws and failures.

This is a four horse trailer with a living area, you can see in this other footage that protestors are throwing things at the trailer, bouncing things, (exploding water bottles? All that noise and crap is scaring the hell out of the horses inside. But the big thing- that you only see as it goes past- is that someone has unlatched the loading ramp on the trailer and was trying to access the horses! He pulls over and stops in front of the cops, and when the camera swings back you can see one of the cops is re-latching the ramp. I can tell you, if it’d been me, you’re goddamned right I would have done the exact same thing to protect those horses!

President Biden challenged Republicans to come up with a counter proposal to his infrastructure plan, and they have not disappointed those of us on the left who believe the GOP will not negotiate in good faith. It’s not detailed, but the plan outlines spending only $568 billion on infrastructure. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) described the plan, based on a document circulated by GOP senators, as “a beginning document” during a press conference. Instead of the Green New Deal that Democrats have talked about, we can call this Republican offer on infrastructure the “Ebenezer Scrooge” Deal. But this infrastructure plan has to be paid for.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s drought emergency proclamation directs state agencies to take “immediate action” to bolster drought resilience and prepare for impacts on communities, businesses and ecosystems if dry conditions extend to a third year. The regional state of emergency also enables flexibilities in regulatory requirements and procurement processes to mitigate drought impacts. Gavin Newsom, we need California water justice and climate change action, not more reservoirs. “Newsom also called for Sites Reservoir and the Voluntary Agreements as drought solutions at this press conference yesterday. “Taken as five-year averages (1967-1971 vs. 2016-2020), the declines for striped bass, Delta smelt, longfin smelt, American shad, splittail and threadfin shad are 98.1, 99.8, 99.8, 26.2, 99.3 and 94.3 percent, respectively,” said Jennings.

They are trying to start a war inside the GOP and split the party. With the moron traitor it may well work. To stick a wedge in their with McConnell and get the traitor to blow his top.

I knew Oklahoma was a very racist state, but this new law is just a malicious invitation to vehicular mayhem against protesters and specifically People of Color. "We are sending a message today in Oklahoma that rioters who threaten law abiding citizens' safety will not be tolerated. I remain unequivocally committed to protecting every Oklahoman's First Amendment right to peacefully protest as well as their right to feel safe in their community," Stitt said, according to local ABC News station KAKE. House Bill 1674 makes obstructing a public road during a protest a misdemeanor punishable with up to a year in prison and a $5,000 fine. The Oklahoma state Senate passed the bill last week in a 38-10 vote.

The world digs a staggering 3 billion cubic meters of clay soil every year, another huge eco-mess, but one that can be ameliorated with a little ingenuity. Because brick composition is quite flexible, bricks are capable of incorporating a high percentage of waste. And he’s found that by substituting 10-25% of the clay soil in bricks with non-shinola, the result is a better brick all around. The researchers found biosolids-enhanced bricks passed compressive strength tests and largely trapped heavy metals within the brick after firing. al., published in Buildings “A proposal for recycling the world’s unused stockpiles of treated wastewater sludge (biosolids) in fired-clay bricks” (DOI: 10.3390/buildings9010014).

A skilled nursing facility in Kentucky offered 3 vaccination clinics for staff and residents in January and February 2021. They succeeded in vaccinating 90.4% of residents and 52.6% of staff; however, many staff members and a few of the residents refused the vaccine after being offered multiple opportunities. On March 1, an unvaccinated, COVID-infected, symptomatic staff member came to work, and an outbreak was soon in progress. The facility started testing everyone with rapid antigen tests as soon as they figured out an outbreak was underway. The virus turned out to be a particularly nasty variant, but even so the vaccine (Pfizer in this case) gave pretty impressive protection.

Ted Cruz has been accused of a lot of things: being the Zodiac Killer; being from Canada; being a churlish Sea Monkey that grew out of control in a secret Area 51 lab before escaping into the forest with a family-size bag of Bugles and a sixer of Zima; being the son of a key JFK assassination conspiracist; spending the past four years hiding in Donald Trump’s Underoos like a colicky baby wallaby; having the personality of a clammy loaf of reduced-salt Wonder Bread; running away to Cancun when his home state was in crisis; having a black, bloodless knot of a heart the size of a runty chickpea. The list goes on. But one thing few people have ever accused Cruz of is forthrightness. Case in point: Republicans, once again, are trying to pretend the stuff you saw them do just a few short years ago—stuff like run up the deficit and block Barack Obama’s federal and Supreme Court nominations—never really happened.

On the other hand, Bolsonaro is right about one thing: Brazil’s historic contribution to the greenhouse gases now driving climate change has been relatively low. He’s offering to slightly apply the brakes on destruction that has vastly accelerated on his watch. He’s not offering to replant a single tree, or even to halt illegal extraction, burning, and expansion into the area. Bolsonaro ran on a platform that expressly called for not halting the destruction of Amazon forests. But there is absolutely no reason to trust Jair Bolsonaro now, or ever.

The bulletin is marked as "law enforcement sensitive" and was distributed through the Department of Homeland Security's fusion centers. It "includes screenshots of posts about the protests from Facebook, Parler, Telegram and other social media sites.

The "FBI declined to comment for this article and postal inspection service wouldn't tell me when they started their covert program that monitors social media," Winter said.

The Department of State has issued new guidelines for U.S. government interaction with Taiwan counterparts to encourage U.S. government engagement with Taiwan that reflects our deepening unofficial relationship. The guidance underscores Taiwan is a vibrant democracy and an important security and economic partner that is also a force for good in the international community. These new guidelines liberalize guidance on contacts with Taiwan, consistent with our unofficial relations, and provide clarity throughout the Executive Branch on effective implementation of our “one China” policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances. The new guidelines have been issued following a review as set forth in the Taiwan Assurance Act.

Brett Jones, the man seeking to be released from a sentence of life without parole, was a victim of abuse by multiple people in his life, including the grandfather he stabbed to death—then tried to save with CPR. To Sotomayor, “the court is fooling no one” in the pretense that this was not a major rollback of earlier decisions—the kind of rollback that should require an admission that a precedent is being overturned. ”The Court simply rewrites Miller and Montgomery to say what the Court now wishes they had said, and then denies that it has done any such thing,” Sotomayor wrote. “The Court knows what it is doing.”Of course it does. It’s chapter infinity in “Republicans lie,” but it’s especially relevant as Kavanaugh lies in his official Supreme Court opinions, while writing for the Trump majority.

"I certainly think our focus ought to be on [the Lewis bill] and voting rights," said Rep. Anthony Brown of Maryland, a member of the CBC. It could be gone very easily in January 2023 if states have free rein on keeping Democratic voters out of voting booths. x In states across the country lawmakers are working to chip away at the voting rights of Americans. It’s critical that we pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to safeguard the franchise of millions of voters. And it’s what the late Representative John Lewis—for whom the new Voting Rights Act is named—described in his final letter as 'the most powerful nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society.'"

At that point, Fox viewership appeared to splinter, with some loyal Fox viewers making the switch to even fringier conservative competitors Newsmax and One America News Network (OANN). Civiqs, on the other hand, is a measure of self-reporting—how frequently respondents say they are watching Fox News. In 2019, for instance, anywhere from roughly one-fifth to one-quarter of Civiqs respondents said they "frequently" watched Fox News. DO YOU WATCH FOX NEWS? In October 2020, prior to the election, 15% of respondents still said they watched Fox frequently, 31% said occasionally, and 54% said never.

The United States notes with concern the pattern of ongoing PRC attempts to intimidate its neighbors, including Taiwan. We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with Taiwan’s democratically elected representatives. The United States will continue to support a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues, consistent with the wishes and best interests of the people on Taiwan. The United States maintains its longstanding commitments as outlined in the Three Communiqués, the Taiwan Relations Act, and the Six Assurances. Our commitment to Taiwan is rock-solid and contributes to the maintenance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and within the region.

House Democrats also passed a second major piece of legislation stemming from the previous president’s discriminatory bans, approving Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s Access to Counsel Act by a 217-207 vote, with no Republicans joining. That bill ensures that citizens, legal residents, and travelers with legal status can speak to an attorney if they’re detained by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials. “In many cases, these individuals had no opportunity to see an attorney or even call anyone for legal guidance. “The Muslim Ban was always wrong, needless, and cruel and failed to live up to the requirements laid out by the Supreme Court,” Chu tweeted. “Religious bans have no place in our country or our laws and today, we are voting to make sure this never happens again.”

When it comes to getting funds to Puerto Rico, the inspector general’s report identifies a series of key changes that got in the way of taking effective action. Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in September 2017. HUD and OMB were still unable to even get much of the relief funding posted by a self-imposed deadline of May 2019. As the Post pointed out, OMB had never previously required any agency grants to go through a review process like the one targeted at funds for Puerto Rico. In the EPA inspector general’s report, the problem isn’t decisions that were made too slowly or given too much review.

According to the Associated Press, during Vivona’s arrest, he told police he had a “hate” or “fixation” about Asians. “I want everybody to know, especially in the AAPI community, that you’re not alone,” Kokumai told NBC News.

Biden's proposal includes $115 billion to modernize the bridges, highways, and roads of the fossil fuel age. His proposal includes another $85 billion for public transit, $80 billion for Amtrak, and $174 billion to build 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, electrify 20% of school buses, and electrify the federal fleet. He'd spend $100 billion on broadband, $25 billion for airports, and $111 billion for water projects. This idea from Republicans is still basically just a sketch, but its lead author, West Virginia Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, touts it as "the largest infrastructure investment Republicans have come forward with." But what they were talking about was an $800 billion offer from Republicans, one that showed they were serious.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying speaks at a daily breifing. File photo: VCGThe Chinese Foreign Ministry slammed an Australian institute for spearheading anti-China forces and fabricating various anti-China issues, after it released a paper claiming that China is strengthening influence over the international community.The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) accused China of influencing foreign politicians, universities, multinational companies and overseas Chinese communities to advance China's interests through collecting intelligence information via different organizations.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said that she did not know the basis of the paper, but she knew that some people from Australia have written articles, revealing that the institute has long received financial support from the US government and arms dealers, and is keen to fabricate and hype up various anti-China issues.US-based news outlet, the Grayzone, revealed that ASPI is a "right-wing, militaristic" think tank funded by US and Western governments, mega-corporations and an eye-popping array of weapons manufacturers, including Raytheon Australia, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, MBDA Missile Systems, Saab AB and Thales.Ironically, Australia's Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme - enacted by the center-right Liberal Party to monitor the alleged threat of "Chinese political interference" in the country - has revealed ASPI's extensive sources of foreign funding, including the US State Department, UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the government of Japan and NATO, according to The Grayzone.Hua said that with such strong ideological bias, the institute was actually spearheading the anti-China forces and its academic credibility has been seriously questioned.The institute has fabricated reports on policies in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and its so-called report which was ridiculous and turned black into white, has become the laughin

President Joe Biden on Friday sought to present a united front with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to counter an increasingly assertive China as the U.S. leader held his first face-to-face White House summit since taking office. Suga said he and Biden agreed on the necessity of frank discussions with China in the context of Beijing's activities in the Indo-Pacific region. In a strongly worded statement on Saturday, China's embassy in Washington said Beijing was "resolutely opposed" to the joint statement, and that Taiwan, Hong Kong and Xinjiang were China's internal affairs. US President Joe Biden and Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga take part in a joint press conference in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, DC on April 16, 2021. In another swipe at China, Biden told the news conference the United States and Japan will invest together in areas such as 5G, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, genomics and semiconductor supply chains.

I have spent two years making a documentary film, The Coming War on China, in which the evidence and witnesses warn that nuclear war is no longer a shadow, but a contingency. Kahn’s book, On Thermonuclear War, elaborated a plan for a ‘winnable’ nuclear war against the Soviet Union. Charles Gatward: The Coming War on China, Darmouth Films Advert'Punish' ChinaIn Washington, I met Amitai Etzioni, distinguished professor of international affairs at George Washington University. He wants to ‘punish’ China for extending its defences to the South China Sea. In Sydney, Australia, Harris called on China to ‘tear down its Great Wall in the South China Sea’.

Still, even as people are skeptical about closer political relations, half would embrace closer economic ties with mainland China. Younger people are particularly likely to support closer relations with the U.S., and they are less likely to embrace closer relations with China. Supporters of the Kuomintang (KMT), the opposition party that ruled Taiwan for decades prior to 2000 and favors closer relations with the mainland, favor mainland China. Favorable views of the U.S. among this group are three times higher than toward mainland China (75% vs. 23%). While many in Taiwan welcome greater economic relations with Beijing, few support closer political ties with mainland ChinaIn Taiwan, people tend to have negative views when it comes to mainland China.

Concern is mounting throughout the region, and Taiwan accuses China of sending 25 military aircraft into its air defence identification zone this week – a record incursion. The chief of Australia’s Defence Force, Angus Campbell, cautioned that conflict in the Taiwan Strait would be “disastrous” and urged Beijing to resolve its differences with Taiwan’s leaders through dialogue. Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18F Super Hornets could be dragged into a conflict over Taiwan. Sources and academics said that while a military conflict remained unlikely, Australia wanted to send Beijing a signal that further incursions by Mr Xi’s forces into Taiwan’s territory would not be tolerated. “There has been a lot of thinking done on this and other contingencies – but nothing that you wouldn’t expect the department would be doing as part of prudent military planning,” the source said.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, on Wednesday (March 4) issued both a tweet and formal statement in support of Taiwan after the House unanimously passed the Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement Initiative Act (TAIPEI Act). The lightly revised TAIPEI Act was passed with a unanimous vote of 415 to zero, reported CNA. She added that through the act, the U.S. Congress is sending a message to the world that "America stands with Taiwan." The TAIPEI Act celebrates and supports Taiwan’s commitment to democracy, by preserving and promoting its position on the international stage. Today, by passing the TAIPEI Act, Congress once again reaffirms our strong support for a free, open and democratic Taiwan.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Over half of Taiwanese support formal independence for their country, according to a survey released by the Taiwanese Public Opinion Foundation (TPOF) on Monday (June 22). Around 54 percent of respondents support official independence for Taiwan. Meanwhile, 23.4 percent prefer maintaining the status quo, 12.5 percent favor unification with China, and 10 percent do not hold any particular view on the matter, the survey found. The number of Taiwanese in favor of the status quo dropped by 3.4 percent, and those backing unification edged up a slight 0.8 points, reported Newtalk. Separately, around 66 percent of Taiwanese back the government’s stimulus voucher scheme set to kick off in July, according to the poll.

The Trump and Biden administrations have relied on the work of a right-wing religious extremist, Adrian Zenz, for their “genocide” accusation against China. Both President Joe Biden and his Secretary of State Anthony Blinken have endorsed former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s last-minute accusation of “genocide” against the Muslim Uyghur population in China’s Xinjiang province. Otherwise, any birth control program provided to an ethnic group would be prima facie evidence of a policy of genocide against the group. Both official Chinese figures and Zenz agree that the Uyghur population in Xinjiang increased significantly between 2010 and 2018. That means the Uyghur population in Xinjiang grew by a staggering 25.04 percent.

US media hailed a Newlines Institute report accusing China of Uyghur genocide as a “landmark” independent analysis. A majority of the report’s “expert” signatories are members of the Newlines Institute and the Wallenberg Centre. “New” report regurgitates old, discredited “evidence”The Newlines report presents no new material on the condition of Uyghur Muslims in China. A majority of the signatories are members of the two think tanks behind the report, the Newlines Institute and the Wallenberg Centre.

Online Event: China's Power: Up for Debate 2020 - Debate 4Proposition: Within the next five years, China will use significant military force against a country on its periphery. The China Power Project will host its fifth annual conference as a series of five live online debates. Under President Xi Jinping, China’s military capabilities have continued to grow. China has stepped up military pressure on Taiwan and conducted frequent large-scale military exercises in the South China Sea. China’s last significant uses of force were in the 1980s along the land border with Vietnam, and in the 1988 clash over Johnson South in the South China Sea.

Taiwan’s Potential to Strengthen Creative Economy Sectors in the AmericasJanuary 4, 2021The creative economy spans various sectors, including audiovisual and performing arts, publishing, design, video games, fashion, architecture, advertising, software, and television and radio, among others, and is comprised of both formal and informal workers. By April 2020, the Colombian creative economy had shrunk by 34.7 percent and by November it had lost 61,000 jobs. Recognizing the vitality of the cultural and creative economy, Colombia has implemented measures to support its industries and their employees. Looking AheadCovid-19 without a doubt has been both the great disruptor and accelerator of the creative economy in the Americas. The cultural and creative economy is not only a vital part of the global economy but enriches and gives meaning to our lives.

Elections are free, fair, and competitive; civil and political rights are protected; and on some issues, such as responding to COVID-19, the Taiwan government’s performance has been excellent. While these are not easy problems to solve, Taiwan’s political system has, at times, made implementing solutions more difficult. In his new book — “Difficult Choices: Taiwan’s Quest for Security and the Good Life” — Nonresident Senior Fellow Richard Bush weaves together a detailed and nuanced analysis of the difficult policy choices that Taiwan faces, both internally and externally. He also explores how its democratic political system might improve its performance for the public that it serves. On April 14, the Center for East Asia Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution hosted Bush for a discussion of his new book, moderated by Senior Fellow Ryan Hass.

Because of this, Taiwan has developed expertise in how to counter China — expertise that could be of use to the United States and the European Union. In a world where authoritarian, state capitalist ideologies are flourishing, Taiwan is a showcase for the benefits of liberal democracy. In short, Western countries have good reasons to seek ties with and to support Taiwan. The United States, for example, has institutionalized a dense network of unofficial but substantivedialogues with Taiwan about a range of issues, including security and defense. This series will consider this and many other ways that non-state actors can contribute to strengthening ties with Taiwan.

Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Russell (DDG 59) transits the Taiwan Strait. Sean Lynch via ReutersThe risk of conflict between China and the United States in the Taiwan Strait is rising. The consequences for Europe of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait would extend well beyond the economic realm. Of course, in the event of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait, the United States could also choose not to defend Taiwan against China, averting a conflict between great powers. And yet despite all these incentives, Brussels isn’t doing much at the moment to preserve the status quo in the Taiwan Strait.

Now Is the Right Time for a Trade Agreement with TaiwanMay 27, 2020This piece is part of the Strategic Trade series supported by the Atlas Network. A bilateral trade agreement will help secure vital supply chains and draw Taiwan’s crucial technology capacities closer to the United States. For example, a U.S.-Taiwan agreement could enshrine important principles on data privacy and cross-border data flows, right on China’s frontier. For similar commercial reasons, other nations have preceded the United States in going forward with bilateral trade agreements with Taiwan. Taiwan now has eight bilateral trade agreement partners, including fellow Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation’s (APEC) economies Singapore and New Zealand.

Protecting Democracy in an Age of Disinformation: Lessons from TaiwanJanuary 27, 2021Taiwan has long defended itself from political meddling, including disinformation, by the People’s Republic of China (PRC). While CCP disinformation campaigns pose a clearly identifiable threat to the United States and Taiwan, they are only one part of a larger disinformation problem facing democracies in this era of instant and omnipresent communication technologies. Indeed, the experience of both Taiwan and the United States suggest that rival political parties are incentivized to exaggerate and weaponize charges of “foreign interference” against each other—charges which often are more damaging to underlying trust levels in a democracy than the original foreign disinformation attacks themselves. This report was made possible by the generous support of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States (TECRO).

So, the stakes for Taiwan’s democracy are high. 68% thought that Taiwan was a democracy, though some thought it had “minor problems.”63% were satisfied with the way democracy worked in Taiwan. PerformanceThat two out of three respondents were generally satisfied with their political system is not a bad approval rate. Yet meeting the China challenge is made all the more difficult because decisions must be processed through Taiwan’s democratic system. ConclusionAs noted, intra- and inter-party splits, protests, referendums, and populism reflect dissatisfaction with the performance of Taiwan’s system of representative democracy.

Executive summaryBeijing’s goal concerning Taiwan is decidedly revisionist. That formula was unacceptable to Taiwan’s authoritarian leaders when it was first developed in the late 1980s. Once Taiwan made the transition to democracy in the early 1990s, the public rejected it as well. Democracy also opened the door to the minority on Taiwan who wanted de jure independence and total separation from China, a source of great concern in Beijing. Worse yet for China, Ma was succeeded in 2016 by Tsai Ing-wen, the leader of the Democratic Progressive Party, which Beijing associates with the goal of independence.

By the 1990s it had become an international celebration, and on Earth Day 2020, over 100 million people around the world observed the 50th anniversary in what is referred to as the "largest online mass mobilization in history." The holiday was originally suggested by peace activist John McConnell who proposed using the spring equinox as a day to honor the Earth and the concept of peace. Denis and his staff quickly developed the event beyond the original idea for a teach-in, and the first Earth Day was born. My high school art teacher heard about it and encouraged students to make artwork to celebrate the occasion. On the same day in April 1970, iconic striptease artist, Gypsy Rose Lee, died in Los Angeles and Melania Knavs (later, Trump) was born in Yugoslavia.

(Image by Mr. Fish/Scheer Post) Details DMCAAmerica's defeat in Afghanistan is one in a string of catastrophic military blunders that herald the death of the American empire. These liberal interventionists, the useful idiots of imperialism, attempt to civilize a process that was created and designed to repress, intimidate, plunder and dominate. The liberal interventionists are also the tip of the spear in the campaign to rachet up tensions with China and Russia. It is the fatal disease of empire, captured in Graham Greene's novel "The Quiet American" and Michael Ondaatje's "The English Patient." For example, the United States routinely kidnapped Islamic jihadists fighting in the Balkans between 1995 and 1998.

The hardest thing for me, as a very smart person, with a smart mouth, and a smart aleck attitude, to learn and fully internalize has been this:Don't judge. Is this politician focused on getting my vote telling the truth or blowing smoke? Don't make final declarations which cut you off from any further understanding or appreciation, whether it's about a person or a circumstance. And the undeniable truth is, sometimes it feels great being part of some "community" of people doing the same thing. Make no mistake about it: USEFUL IDIOTS ARE STILL USEFUL!

The SALT cap, implemented when Donald Trump was president and the GOP still held congressional majorities, is a "man bites dog" issue that places Democrats and Republicans opposite their usual supposed sides. The SALT cap limits those deductions to $10,000 per year. Because an unlimited SALT deduction means that state governments get a sort of free ride on their own tax rates. The SALT cap encourages people and their wealth to move from "blue" states to "red" states. But if we're going to have them, federal tax policy shouldn't be manipulated to artificially benefit tax-happy state governments.

From Hartmann Report(Image by Unsplash Photos) Details DMCARepublican greed is why Americans can't have nice things. Republicans don't hate Social Security and Medicare, for example, because they're afraid that those programs are going to somehow turn America into a communist country. Trump used the Defense Production Act to force mostly Brown and Black meatpackers back to work, not to keep Americans safe. As long as their investments in weapons manufacturers are profitable and the problem of gun violence is limited to poor- and working-class Americans, Republicans don't give a rat's ass about "gun safety." Donald Trump's rewrite of NAFTA even gives American companies a huge new tax break if they move factories from America to Mexico.

The Philippine Navy is exploring ways to collaborate with the Turkish government in current efforts to modernize its Navy. The Turkish navy has so far received four Ada-class corvettes as part of the project and the TCG Istanbul, the first frigate and largest warship domestically designed and manufactured by Turkey, which was recently launched. Four ships are being manufactured for the Pakistani navy with the project including production at Pakistani ports and technology transfers. Along with the launch of the Istanbul frigate, the ceremony also marked the groundbreaking of the third ship to be constructed for the Pakistani navy under the MILGEM project. Erdo?an said the number of projects in the Turkish defense industry has taken a significant leap from 2002, increasing from 62 to almost 700.

Sonnet: Frisson My Ass OffThe race is on to control men's* minds and souls --our bodies we can do without at first --it's the thing-in-itself that drives our thirst,the hope diamond squeezed out of quantum coals,being and nothingness, alive and not --a viral version of forbidden fruit,a magical stem cell we find at the rootof all possible past and future thought. The body can be anything we want. Let's go with photosynthetic exos,fun, sun-loving people green as geckoeswith ichorous veins. Between one and zero is both -- you'll see:The future is simultaneity. * humans (I needed the syllable, sorry if I offended)

The shadow is highly personal but also collective, and some of it is karmic (it came with us.) My WW3 shadow was much more manageable than my poor father's WW3 shadow, which stalked him in the form of feeling helpless to be that strong capable protector for his own family. What's similar between living with the climate-change shadow and the WW3 shadow, (as collective shadows) is, they can't be avoided, we can't make them go away by ignoring them. (Covid represents another collective shadow, as does the specter of the surveillance state or the "dark state", which is both real, in a limited sense, and psychically real in a much more sinister way.) But regardless of how we experience our collective shadow, we are all also dealing with a personal shadow, which is uniquely our own to relate to, and it can be negative or positive.

youtube.com/watch?v=Fc4BkuKyjkoBo Lozoff -- Life is Deep (prison talk) Renowned teacher/activist Bo Lozoff describes the common threads of all religions and the simple principles they share. "Independence" - in the context of a work environment - usually means a focus on "looking out for number one," and not allowing oneself to be vulnerable, open, undefended. One can wonder about the degree to which many of our organizations (and schools) have come to resemble prisons. In this light, let us consider two currently functioning alternatives to the present prison system. Both, as we will see, demonstrate a shift in focus to increased openness and interdependence on multiple levels.

World War I was, however faintly, still part of my life when I grew up in the Cold War years. But there was one thing they had lived through as children that they never mentioned, not once: the devastating great influenza pandemic of 1918-1920 that killed so many more Americans than died in both world wars. I had no idea it had even happened, though it was far more devastating than the present pandemic globally (horrific as Covid-19 is). The pandemic had by then killed more Americans than had died in World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War combined and it wasn't done with us yet. Every November 11th, on Veterans Day, our world still remembers and celebrates the moment World War I officially ended.

The system that Powell advocated has today become a corrupt political and corporate oligarchy. Today, 76 percent of the US public supports higher taxes on the wealthy, 80 percent of the US public supports Medicare for All, 76 percent of the US public supports a $15 minimum wage, 60 percent of the US public support tuition-free college, 73 percent of the US public support abortion rights, 96 percent of the US population supports an equal rights amendment, and 63 percent of the US public supports greater environmental regulation. Yet, five unelected lifetime members of the Supreme Court and the bribed members of Congress by the unelected dictatorship of corporate and billionaire campaign contributions deny "we the people," of what we want, and murder our citizens like George Floyd with impunity. The values that sustain our open society have been crushed by the virus of greed. Only then, will the life taken from George Floyd, Daunte Wright, and all the other innocent martyrs, victims of centuries old white racism, arrogance and hubris, ignorance and hate, not be in vain.

Many proclaimed this moment as a pivotal time in our nation when true change will come. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Voting Rights Act of 1964. When the March on Selma resulted in the passage of the Voting Rights Act, that too was a time of euphoria. And in the last few months, because of the 2020 election results, 43 states are considering legislation to limit voting rights. Brotherhood: The true cause of the George Floyd verdictJustice was achieved in the prosecution of Derek Chauvin because the prosecutors and the jurors, were people who could perceive true justice.

I'm talking about the general trend towards fascistic nationalism and war buildup throughout the capitalist world, which the developments in Ukraine provide a prelude to. "There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators," The Nation's Lev Golinkin wrote in 2019. The fascists, with help from their NATO puppeteers, have plunged Ukraine into terror, poverty, and war by gutting and replacing Ukrainian society's foundations. In order to create an anti-Russian Ukraine, the only real period of history they have to fall back on to create this is these World War II-era Nazi collaborators. And the logical conclusion of this is a repeat of the horrors of World War II, where the fascist and imperialist powers slaughtered tens of millions for conquest and capitalist fortification.

It may not be reproduced in any form without permission or license from the source. From AntiwarRussian President Vladimir Putin's stern warning earlier today not to cross what he called Russia's "red line" needs to be taken seriously. Putin prefaced his his unusually pointed remarks by saying Russia wants "good relations " including, by the way, those with whom we have not been getting along lately, to put it mildly. Russian officials have long believed that the United States is conducting its own 'influence campaigns' to undermine Russia, weaken President Vladimir Putin, and install Western-friendly regimes in the states of the former Soviet Union and elsewhere. It would be interesting to read the Russian counterpart assessment of the threats they face.

The Graveyard of EmpiresBefore going further, we do have to visit the old saying about Afghanistan: "It is the graveyard of Empires." (At the beginning of the Taliban military expansion in the early 2000s Iran provided aid to U.S. forces, on its porous Eastern border with Afghanistan. This came to an end when the Bush Administration went full-bore against Iran with the "Axis of Evil" speech.) As it happens, one of the reasons that it is the Graveyard of Empires is that Afghanistan is a very complex country and always has been. (Afghanistan borders on several of the Central Asian nations --- e.g., Turkmenistan, Tajikstan, that had been part of the Russian Empire and under the Soviet Union were "Constituent Republics.")

We need to fund infrastructure projects and build affordable housing while transitioning our energy system away from fossil fuels toward energy efficiency and renewable energy. Finally, if we are going to be able to compete in a global economy, we need to have the best educated workforce in the world. That means we must make public colleges and universities tuition free and debt free for working families. But paying to fix these problems should not fall on the shoulders of working Americans who already pay the bulk of this nation's taxes. The good news is that we are living in the wealthiest country in the history of the world.

Even though the temperature had risen less than one degree Celsius, we were already seeing extensive Arctic ice melt, for instance. This is affecting the very stability of global climate regulators. Under international law, the central Arctic Ocean is part of the "high seas," because it lies outside the jurisdiction of any nation. The Russians' submission is the most ambitious and contentious, extending all the way to the North Pole and across the central Arctic Ocean. We must pause the mad rush to exploit a very fragile and essential global climate regulator, in order for science to catch up and emission cuts to kick in.

“It is an apocalyptic situation in India right now,” says journalist Rana Ayyub. AMY GOODMAN: India is in a state of crisis as COVID cases surge and hospitals run out of oxygen. Despite this, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has continued to hold large campaign rallies. There’s not a single critical report on the Kumbh Mela, which was sanctioned by the prime minister. The prime minister has still to hold a single press conference to take a single question from the Indian media.

Part of the Series Covering Climate NowThis story is part of Covering Climate Now, a global journalism collaboration strengthening coverage of the climate story. President Joe Biden on Thursday has pledged to cut carbon emissions from the U.S. to half of what they were in 2005 by the end of this decade. His announcement came on the first day of a virtual climate summit hosted by Biden. Climate Action Network, calls on Biden to cut domestic emissions by 70 percent of what they were in 2005. Meanwhile, before the pandemic hit, oil and gas production was soaring, which Biden has done little to address, climate advocates say.

That’s according to an analysis released Thursday morning by the People’s Vaccine Alliance, a coalition of advocacy organizations campaigning to end massive inequities in the distribution of life-saving coronavirus vaccines. Johnson & Johnson, which received $1.5 billion in public money, paid out $10.5 billion in dividends. “This is clearer now more than ever.”These vaccines were funded by public money and are desperately needed worldwide if we are to end this pandemic. “This is a public health emergency, not a private profit opportunity,” Marriott said. We need a people’s vaccine, not a profit vaccine.”“Instead of creating new vaccine billionaires,” Marriott added, “we need to be vaccinating billions in developing countries.”This piece was reprinted by Truthout with permission or license.

The pandemic had by then killed more Americans than had died in World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War combined — and it wasn’t done with us yet. Every November 11th, on Veterans Day, our world still remembers and celebrates the moment World War I officially ended. “Collectively, we obviously wrongly shared a feeling that Americans would be fine,” Lincoln said of the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Under the circumstances, it’s important that we not drop this pandemic from memory as we did the 1918 one. My inner misanthrope says no, but certainly the odds improve if we don’t delete this pandemic from history like the last one.

Johnson & Johnson, which received $1.5 billion in public money, paid out $10.5 billion in dividends. We need a people's vaccine, not a profit vaccine."

"This is a public health emergency, not a private profit opportunity," Marriott said. We need a people's vaccine, not a profit vaccine."

(CSIRO / Wikimedia Commons)Natural gas will have to be phased out along with coal if the world is to be kept safe from dangerous climate change. CAT’s members are Climate Analytics, Ecofys and NewClimate Institute, with the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research as a collaborator. For example, utilisation rates of US natural gas infrastructure are at 54%, and are even lower in Europe, at 25%. The report sees a dwindling role for natural gas towards the middle of the century because of increasing competition from renewables that continue to get cheaper. “Natural gas is often perceived as a ‘clean’ source of energy that complements variable renewable technologies.

In Part 2 of their conversation, @HakiMadhubuti and the professors continue their conversation answering the question: “How can we best pass on the legacy of institution building?” Tune in for Professor Madhubuti’s answer, as well as his reading of his poem “Liberation Narratives.”A leading poet and one of the architects of the Black Arts Movement, Haki R. Madhubuti (pronounced Mad-hu-boo-tee)—publisher, editor, and educator—has been a pivotal figure in the development of a strong Black literary tradition. He has published more than 31 books (some under his former name, Don L. Lee) and is one of the world’s best-selling authors of poetry and non-fiction. His book “Black Men: Obsolete, Single, Dangerous? The AfricanAmerican Family in Transition” has sold more than one million copies.

It’s a bleak sort of Earth Day today. There has never been an Earth Day like this. How, then, do we look on Earth Day in this grim context? Please take this Earth Day and do likewise. Knowing this, it’s time to reject greenwashing and false promises from the powerful when they are proffered.

“It’s got nothing to do with the well-being of this country; it’s sending crude fossil fuel over to other countries.”“It’s got nothing to do with the well-being of this country; it’s sending crude fossil fuel over to other countries,” Wilson tells Truthout. It really is a mess, and they’re trying to expedite it.”Congress’s reversal of the 40-year-old crude oil export ban in 2015 has enabled a massive fracking boom in Texas’s methane-blasting Permian Basin oil fields and elsewhere, driving an expansion of oil export infrastructure projects. Since the ban was lifted in 2015, fossil fuel exports have skyrocketed, increasing 750 percent, according to an analysis by Greenpeace USA and Oil Change International. Banning U.S. public financing for overseas fossil fuel projects and exports of U.S. crude oil overseas, they say, is low-hanging fruit. Everything is incremental.”The president could ban fossil fuel exports immediately by declaring a national climate emergency.

As many were celebrating the Minneapolis jury’s decision to convict Derek Chauvin for his murder of George Floyd while others insisted that a conviction would not build a more just world, Ma’Khia died in a local hospital. Two weeks before Hill’s killing, Columbus police killed 23-year-old Casey Goodson, Jr. as he returned home from running family errands. But that’s not what policing offers Black girls like Ma’Khia. We are fighting to build a world where Ma’Khia’s needs, and the needs of the girls around her, are met. We are fighting for a world in which Ma’Khia could still be making TikTok videos and showing off her hair-styling techniques.

She wonders if her embrace of regenerative farming — a set of practices that restore soil health by mimicking natural processes — may have helped. Before doing so, she had concentrated her efforts on taking care of the animals, trees and plants on her farm. Markegard says the benefits of the approach are visible, even to the untrained eye, during wildfire season. But only so much is in the realm of control of a single farm or land trust, since lightning could strike anywhere. We know that animal impact can make a huge difference in clearing out old debris and oxidized material,” Koefoed said.

Representatives Cori Bush (D-Missouri) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Washington) are leading an effort with nearly 100 of their fellow House members to end the Senate filibuster. The lawmakers join many progressive and Democratic advocates in saying that the filibuster is a roadblock to progress. In fact, lawmakers got rid of the House’s filibuster 130 years ago because it was preventing progress. The Senate filibuster, as the lawmakers point out, is a relic of the Jim Crow era and has a history of being used to block civil rights. It’s voting rights or the filibuster.

On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would make Washington, D.C., the 51st state. Republicans are staunchly opposed to granting D.C. statehood, fearing that the Democratic-leaning area would give Democrats more votes in Congress. If the filibuster is abolished, as progressive activists, Senate Democrats and House Democrats are pushing for, statehood for D.C. could very well become a reality. “Today, every member of the House of Representatives who voted in favor of DC statehood made the decision to believe in a stronger, more inclusive Democracy.”The last time the House passed a bill granting D.C. statehood was in 2020 when it also passed along party-line votes with no Republicans in favor. “The House just passed D.C. statehood.

It’s true that, according to the IEA’s model, emissions level will not increase any further from now until 2040. This needs to be recognized as a minimal ethical requirement, since high-income countries are almost entirely responsible for having created the climate crisis in the first place. Bob, certain studies seem to indicate that the climate crisis won’t be stopped even if we reduced greenhouse gas emissions to zero. I am compelled therefore to ask you this: Is the climate crisis a race we can actually win? All of these impacts will also help break the grip that neoliberalism has maintained over the global economy over the past 40 years.

Chase Smith married his high school sweetheart, Sadie (Mills) Smith, in April 2020 after finding out that his Ewing's sarcoma had returned. Chase Smith — the Indianapolis man who married his high school sweetheart, Sadie (Mills) Smith, just days after learning he had three to five months to live due a rare type of cancer — has tragically died at the age of 19. "God gave Chase the strength to say his last words to me," Sadie told the outlet. It was more of just a wake-up call that, 'Hey, God wants you two together,' " Chase told the outlet at the time. "What was cool about that was whenever we were first talking about getting married, Chase brought it up and I already knew what he was gonna say," Sadie added.

Kaavan is his name, and he was the only Asian elephant in all of Pakistan until the fall of 2020. He now lives at an animal sanctuary elsewhere on the continent thanks, in part, to Cher. It’s all part of a documentary, Cher & the Loneliest Elephant, which will be released on Thursday, April 22 on Paramount+. “I never actually intended to [get involved], I just got swept up in it because the kids on my Twitter feed started sending me these pictures and it was all ‘free Kaavan, free Kaavan,’” Cher explained, according to the Daily Mail. I can see how it might be easy to give Cher the greenlight to go ahead despite a pandemic and whatever else.

Within 48 hours, some of the Super League clubs’ leaders seemed to recognize a boundary on their appetites. The Super League, its officials admitted on Tuesday night, was done. In its short existence, the Super League managed to look both ruthlessly calculated and slapdash. “I am delighted to welcome City back to the European football family,” Ceferin said shortly after Manchester City announced that it was withdrawing from the Super League. On Wednesday, complaints about European soccer’s ruling hierarchy, Super League or not, continued.

Striving for a more sustainable lifestyle can feel overwhelming, but the cliché is true: small steps can make a big difference. In honour of Earth Day on April 22, we’ve called on some of our trusted partners to find easy swaps for conscientious shoppers, from glorious Greek honey to biodegradable phone cases.

After weeks of grueling, emotional testimony, a jury on Tuesday found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all three charges in the murder of George Floyd, an all-too-rare showing of accountability to which the nation reacted with palpable, if fleeting, relief. The case against Chauvin was particularly damning given the killing was captured in broad daylight on a 17-year-old bystander’s cell phone, without which the former officer may have gotten off. Yet despite the indisputable evidence, as well as testimony from fellow police officers who decried Chauvin’s use of force, Fox News host Tucker Carlson had a different message for viewers, as he argued Tuesday’s conviction “was never in doubt” following “nearly a year of burning and looting and murder by BLM” to achieve the guilty verdict. Republicans who excused former President Donald Trump’s role in the deadly Capitol attack distorted Waters’ call for activists to “get more confrontational” in the case of an acquittal, claiming the California Democrat was inciting violence and threatening the jury.

After a year at home, it’s not just lockdown emergence outfits and haircuts that are being agonised over. We spoke to some of our favourite interior designers and stylists about how to create the perfect tablescape for an al fresco lunch or supper for six and the items that will be on their tables this summer. Gloria Gonzalez ( @ByGloriaGonzalez ) is an interior designer and blogger with an eclectic, sophisticated style.

Just before the guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin murder trial was handed down in a Minneapolis courtroom, a police officer in Columbus, Ohio shot and killed a Black 16-year-old named Ma’Khia Bryant. This is not alright, it’s not okay, and it can’t continue on.”Floyd’s murder last May prompted a national reckoning over systemic racism and policing. That last part is crucial: the Chauvin conviction can’t be the end of the movement that intensified last summer. As CNN’s Van Jones suggested Tuesday, that could include bans on choke-holds and the establishment of a registry for convicted cops. Even the reforms backed by many Democrats stop short of defunding or doing away with the current policing system, as many activists demand.

Law Roach, one of the most influential stylists working today, has always admired women with everything that they do and everything they are. It’s really the same.”And even though he’s bringing his sense of style to his clients, Roach doesn’t want all the credit. “I want people to look at them and say they have really great style. We asked for his five essential elements for creating a statement look, Roach selected confidence (“It’s not the clothes— it’s the girl and the way you make her feel. That is the power, that is the talent.”), tailoring, shoes, great hair, and great makeup.

“My mother prepared for our reunions in her own way, marinating short rib two days before my arrival,” Michelle Zauner writes in Crying in H Mart, her memoir out this week.

As the royal family mourns the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, a new documentary premiering on True Royalty TV reveals his role, alongside the Queen, in growing the British royal family into one of the world’s most successful, and biggest brands. The research also argues that she has grown the royal family into the world’s fifth biggest “corporate brand,” ahead of multinationals including Coca-Cola, Nike, and Microsoft. Elizabeth at 95: The Invincible Queen uncovers how the Queen and Prince Philip acted when necessary to protect the Windsor brand at virtually all costs. David Haigh, CEO of Brand Finance, tells the program, “The Royal Family refers to itself as ‘The Firm’. That puts it as the most valuable UK brand.

His brain died at 11:47 p.m. At nine o’clock on Sunday night, Supreme Court justice Howard Wynn shifted testily in his favorite leather chair, the high-backed Chesterfield purportedly commissioned by Chief Justice William Howard Taft. The game in progress was with a man he’d never met who lived half a world away. “Justice Wynn? Yanking his hand free from his pocket, Justice Wynn stopped in front of Stokes and extended his right hand. “They call Justice Wynn the ‘Voice of the People,’ but now everyone is wondering if he’s the one hearing voices.

In the aftermath of the January 6 Capitol attack by supporters of Donald Trump, The Washington Post uncovered an alarming pattern. Of the nearly 380 rioters who have been federally charged, at least 44 are current or former military members, according to service records. The relationship between the U.S. military and extremism has been well documented. In 2017, a number of former service members were reportedly linked to the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesperson, did acknowledge that extremist groups can be “waiting on the other side to recruit” veterans once they leave the military.

At this Sunday’s Academy Awards, all signs point to the late Chadwick Boseman winning the statuette for best actor. Boseman, a cultural icon who embodied heroes like Black Panther, has already picked up a slew of posthumous awards for his turn as Levee, an ambitious, but tortured cornet player, in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. So it was no surprise when Boseman, who died last August of colon cancer, notched a posthumous Oscar nod for the film, directed by Tony Award winner George C. Wolfe, and adapted from August Wilson’s classic play. Ahead of this Sunday’s ceremony, where Boseman is competing against Anthony Hopkins, Riz Ahmed, Steven Yeun, and Gary Oldman, let’s take a look back at his impressive career and reminisce about some of his best and most beloved roles.

Since she was a teenager, Carey Mulligan has been turning in effortlessly effective performances. An underrated and pliable leading lady, she can play ingenue as easily as she can gruff—and every flavor in between. Perhaps it took a film like Promising Young Woman, which lets Mulligan do it all at once, for her to get this close to Oscar gold. She’s a front-runner in the best-actress category heading into this Sunday’s ceremony…and after taking a tour of her acting history, it’s not hard to see why.

For perhaps the first time ever, each of the eight best-picture nominees is available to stream before the ceremony airs, from the comfort of your own couch.

The next project in Ryan Murphy’s blockbuster deal with Netflix arrives this month: a biographical series about famed designer Roy Halston starring Ewan McGregor. Also on the horizon is a third season of Aziz Ansari’s Master of None, which returns after a four-year hiatus amid sexual misconduct allegations made against the show’s creator and star. The title of most anticipated movie of the month belongs to The Woman in the Window, an adaptation of A.J. Back to the Future trilogy (May 1): Marty McFly has transported himself back to Netflix. The Woman in the Window (May 14): Amy Adams is on another mission to bag her first Oscar.

superfan LeVar Burton has been tapped for a two-week guest-hosting run on ABC’s long-running trivia show, which will air sometime this summer. Since the death of daytime television icon Alex Trebek in November of last year, Jeopardy! has been rotating guest hosts—with two-week stints from former news anchor Katie Couric, Dr. Oz, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and current guest host Anderson Cooper. Over 240,000 people have signed a change.org petition calling for the former Reading Rainbow host to become the next permanent host of Jeopardy!. Perhaps he’ll follow the reading rainbow all the way from guest host to permanent host.

Riccardo Tisci wanted his fall/winter 2021 womenswear presentation for Burberry “to feel truly emblematic of the power of feminine energy”. As the light in the end of the Covid tunnel flickers into sight, Tisci saw that sentiment aligning with the figure of Mother Nature. “And Mother Nature is what gives us life. ShyGirl became Mother NatureThe preface to the runway depicted London musician ShyGirl performing as Mother Nature, reciting a spoken word performance while representing her embodiment (dressed, of course, in a custom Burberry corset).

During the holy month of Ramadan in North Africa, this silky textured soup is the first dish with which the fast is broken. Although not essential, the flour is to create a sort of starter, which lends it the silkier finish. Silky chickpea and lamb soupServes 4Preparation time: 30 minutes, plus preparing the starter, and soaking the chickpeas. Increase the heat to medium, add the lamb and any loose spices, and sear for three minutes on each side.

Production has begun on a new Netflix film based on the true story of Yusra and Sarah Mardini, the Syrian refugees turned Olympic swimmers. Titled The Swimmers, the film is being created by the streaming giant with Egyptian-Welsh director and screenwriter Sally El Hosaini. The Swimmers depicts the journey of the Mardini sisters, who almost drowned as they left their home country Syria to flee war. In 2016, Yusra Mardini competed in swimming events at the 2016 Olympics as part of the Refugee Olympic Team.

“I felt compelled to make this documentary,” director Simon Frederick tells British Vogue. He’s talking about his new four-part series with YouTube Originals, which he named The Outsiders?, because “Black people are the ultimate racial other”. Frederick wanted to make something that “celebrates globally the innovation, cultural expression and flair of a generation of young Black People, in a way that reflects the mood of the times”, he says. Set to air later this year, the thought-provoking series features young Black trailblazers such as Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock, the best-selling author Reni Eddo-Lodge, British Vogue’s publishing director Vanessa Kingori, singer Celeste, radio and TV presenter Clara Amfo, and many more. Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock joins a stellar line-up of other Black creatives featured in the documentary, too.

But the rumblings started: wait, with added oil and sugar, is oat milk actually good for you? Enter pistachio milk. Yet, as pistachio milk slowly creeps into the corners of trendy coffee shops and grocery stores, it does feel like the time is nigh for this new, nutty contender. In 2015, Roxana Saidi was in Paris when she had a hankering for an almond milk latte. Since this was 2015 and, well, Paris, she couldn’t get an almond milk latte.

When you are your most authentic self, that's when you connect the most with people – you can't connect if you're trying to be something that you're not. I think everyone can identify with self-discovery and expression, whether or not they agree entirely with your brand of expression. It gave me new challenges.”How does one discover their true self – and is it exposing to express that creatively? I’m so glad that it was through something that I made, rather than seeing me on Instagram or whatever. Being comfortable isn't necessarily dressing in a tracksuit all the time – it could be something really sexy or revealing.

That is if Kendall and Kylie’s latest Instagram posts are anything to go by. Kylie went first, sharing a photograph of herself posing under a photograph of herself that hangs in her Hidden Hills home. How Bella, Kendall & Dua Are Styling Their Spring Wardrobe MVP Gallery 9 Photos View GalleryJust a few hours later, Kendall followed suit, mirroring her younger sister’s pose in a series of photographs shared in support of Burberry’s latest collection reveal.

Much like her sister, Kendall crouched low in a fashion take on the squat.

Annie Doble counts supermodel Kate Moss as a customer. Doble can trace her passion for fashion, and specifically vintage, back to childhood. It became her biggest drive, and the inspiration behind the first vintage boutique she opened aged just 25. It’s what excites me.”She started out selling clothes on eBay before moving onto running a vintage stall at Spitalfields Market aged 17. She recalls clients who sailed their yachts to Ibiza for the express purpose of visiting her store.

Marc PiaseckiThe model wore her low-slung Dickies carpenter pants with a sheer printed tee from her own label, Inamorata, and New Balance trainers. The contrasting stitching on the stiff, durable denim with hammer loop and ruler pockets nodded to the utility look without going full throttle into cargo pant territory. Similarly, Bella owns Brandy Melville carpenter jeans, Aimé Leon Dore painter’s pants and Phipps dad trousers, which all connote that schleppy, throw-on vibe, sans the excessive pockets. EmRata wearing Dickies carpenter pants, an Inamorata top and New Balance trainers. There was nothing pedestrian about her low-key LA look, which somehow made XXL pockets look, dare we say, sexy.

“Any hack that can lift the appearance of the skin is worth investigating,” make-up artist Erin Parsons tells me of the TikTok method. For optimal application, particularly around the outer corners, she recommends using a precise concealer brush to help create even, upward strokes, adding that a Beautyblender can help “seamlessly melt” the concealer into the skin as you’re blending. “Powder takes away the natural sheen, which helps to further lift and highlight the face. I’ve come to find that when executed nimbly, the face lift concealer hack is one that’s not only ultra-flattering in giving the face a more lifted and defined look, but is also a sneaky trick for more of a no-make-up make-up effect. Consider the pro-approved TikTok concealer strategy an easy, high-reward approach for a perfected visage — the 2021 way.

Blink, and you might just mistake Gigi Hadid for Marilyn Monroe. Instagram: @GigihadidIt turns out that the new hair look is actually a wig, with Hadid admitting she enjoyed having “fun” on set with her hairstylist Panos Papandrianos, who himself posted about the two experimenting with wigs while shooting with Maybelline, for whom Hadid is a face. Proving she can get away with any hair colour or length, Hadid’s natural style (beneath the wig) is currently ultra long and dyed that copper hue that has been trending all through lockdown.

As an early adopter of social media to further his agenda, Riccardo Tisci was well-equipped to push the boundaries of the virtual front row for his Burberry womenswear autumn/winter 2021 show. The creative director shipped his latest designs, which riff on the themes of modern femininity and mother nature, to best friends Naomi Campbell, Irina Shayk, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. It was the latter supermodel who sported the most literal interpretation of Tisci’s references to the great outdoors. Hadid captured herself looking enviably snug in a baby pink (faux) furry jacket complete with bunny ears on the hood. While her fellow models showed off Tisci’s seasonal updates on bold Burberry tailoring – which “twist classicism and encourage freedom of expression”, according to the autumn/winter 2021 press release – Gigi showed a softer side to his vision.

Diane Keaton is a talk show veteran. It’s no wonder, then, that Gucci has tapped her for a new talk show-inspired campaign for Gucci Beloved. “I must also say that working with James Corden was a delight. It’s not fair.”Starring in Gucci’s faux talk show was an easier task than partaking in the real deal, says Keaton. “David Letterman always wanted to talk about what I wear,” recalls Keaton.

“Growing up, my mother taught us to never take any shit from anyone – and that’s probably why my woman is so powerful. “It was very emotional: they were crying, I was crying. But all of them were attracted to something very powerful [in the collection]. And when I say powerful, I don’t mean maximal or minimal – because in minimalism, there is power. What I mean is power in how it reveals a woman – not her skin, but her femininity.”

Tuesday’s verdict made official in the eyes of law what people saw last May: Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is guilty of killing George Floyd. After the jury’s decision and the complex mix of emotions it brought, thoughts quickly turned to Frazier, a child who witnessed Floyd’s death firsthand. He murdered a man in broad daylight and we are here today because a brave Black girl named Darnella Frazier kept taping despite threats from the cops on the scene,” author Mikel Jollett tweeted. Frazier has spoken about the devastating impact of Floyd’s death, testifying that she has suffered from anxiety. As New York Times editor Jazmine Hughes put it: “We got here because of Darnella Frazier...

Since then, Delevingne, 28, has been an avid campaigner for climate action and is launching a new grassroots charity to help restore our ecosystems called Initiative Earth. Here, she explains why simply asking the question “What if?” could help us all make a positive impact on our planet. If you imagine the planet and all the life that we cohabit with 20 years from now, what do you see? I also know that many don’t need to look to the future to feel terrified – their present is terrifying enough. It’s important for us to remember that all the solutions we need to address the climate and ecological crisis already exist.

Quer o reconheçamos conscientemente ou não, temos um cenário ideal de como seria a nossa relação com a nossa mãe agora que somos adultos. Mãe não é só mãe – é a minha mãe, é a sua mãe, é a nossa mãe.

As life continues through the pandemic, never before has active wear been more ubiquitous as it's now. So, yes, owning good gym clothes is a crucial step towards meeting your fitness goals. Her personal trick to stay disciplined is to get into her active wear in the morning when she's getting ready for her day. "Clothes are empowering—when you buy a new dress, you're excited to go out and the same applies to active wear. So, the next time you're buying active wear, think of it as an investment—one that works as hard as you.

The best wide-awake trick takes the form of a barely-there, abbreviated cat-eye that included a simple swoosh that acts as an instant eye-opener. Get the look: Janhvi Kapoor's kitten-eye and glossy pink lipsStart by strategically mattifying your skin and smooth on a matte primer on your forehead, nose and chin. Then, apply a liquid mousse foundation with your fingers, and start in the centre of your face where there is discolouration and redness. Using a flat shadow brush, apply a matte brown shade all the way from the lids to your brows. Follow along the lip line and work your way around the edges of the lips, and then fill in with a glossy pink shade.

The key to having a healthy microbiome is making sure that good gut bacteria outnumber bad bacteria, but when you take a course of antibiotics when you're sick, it can upend this balance completely. A five-day course of some broad-spectrum antibiotics can wipe out as much as one-third of your gut bacteria,” explains nutritionist Suchita Mukerji. How to protect your gut bacteria while taking a course of antibiotics? Mukerji suggests taking a probiotic alongside your antibiotics, but spacing it out in order for both pills to do their jobs. Deleting these foods from your diet is an essential part of rehabbing your microbiome especially when you’re taking an antibiotic,” says Mukherji.

It’s no wonder, then, that Gucci has tapped her for a new talk show-inspired campaign for Gucci Beloved. In the photos, she wears a tan suit, red beret, and Gucci’s monogram Horsebit 1955 bag—a very Keaton look. “Not only is Alessandro beyond talented and gorgeous, I love his vision and his gentle nature,” says Keaton of the campaign. It’s not fair.”Starring in Gucci’s faux talk show was an easier task than partaking in the real deal, says Keaton. It is my nature,” she says, adding that she’s developed a nervous habit on the talk shows.

Here, Thunberg explains why she wants our leaders to move beyond “big words and little action” when it comes to tackling the climate crisis. On Earth Day 2021, 22 April, at the Leaders’ Climate Summit led by US president Joe Biden, countries will present their new climate commitments, including net-zero by 2050. Their job is to fulfil the wishes of voters, and if voters are not demanding real climate action, then of course no real changes will happen. And the gap between our so-called climate targets and the overall, current best-available science should no longer be possible to ignore. These gaps of action, awareness and time are the biggest elephant that has ever found itself inside any room.

In the realm of beauty, there are dozens of swaps you can make effortlessly. Of the product packaging that we can recycle—like cardboard boxes, biodegradable bottles and glass jars—half (or more) of us don’t do so properly, or even at all. The list could go on, but some of the more common quartet would be cotton pads, cotton buds, make-up wipes and dental floss.

For many people, racism and the climate crisis are two huge—but separate—global issues that urgently need addressing. Here, we speak to four activists of colour from around the world about their experiences of environmental racism, and why it’s so important that we all stand up against it. The fact that you would choose to listen to a white person on the same issue rather than a person of colour, to me, is environmental racism. That’s why we’re marching against environmental racism in New York to show people the issues are intersectional. “Everyone has to stand up against environmental racism, but not in a way where you’re fighting for someone, but rather fighting with us.

A bold interpretation of modern femininity, Riccardo Tisci‘s womenswear presentation for Burberry was characterised by fluid silhouettes that encouraged an unabashed freedom of expression. “This presentation is a love letter to women and a celebration of their incomparable strength”, said Tisci. Burberry’s distinctive character and codes were galvanised as fresh symbols for the strong woman of today. By blurring the lines of modern femininity and masculinity, the autumn/winter 2021 collection proved that the two can coincide on the same runway. Watch the full Burberry autumn/winter 2021 womenswear presentation below:

Mother Nature has always been fertile ground for inspiration when it comes to fashion. But some designers go a step further by incorporating nature into not just their clothing designs, but also in their fashion show sets. To celebrate Earth Day, we take a look at nine of the most awe-inspiring fashion show sets in recent years that took inspiration from nature. Meanwhile, other shows brought the audience to nature instead. When fashion and nature intertwine, the effect created is nothing short of pure magic.

Perhaps more than he realized, they summarized a collection driven by instinct rather than method. “Slowly we’ve built an identity, and I realized my identity was very strong within the label,” he said, evaluating his tenure at the house. Before the show, Burberry released a video of a British-ly diverse crew of women reflecting on the meaning of femininity now. This collection showed that the two can co-exist on the same runway. As he said, “I feel like I’m starting to see my vocabulary at Burberry.”

With Rentrayage, Erin Beatty has turned vintage tees, jeans, and cargo jackets into new-again items adorned with ribbons, bows, and an appealing sense of freedom. Using a vintage tee, Beatty and her studio worked on creating “something flirty and fresh” for spring. “We chose an oversize vintage vacation tee. These are fairly easy to come by—though you can choose whatever oversize tee you like,” she says. With just one ingredient in her old-to-new fashion recipe, Beatty cut and tied that t-shirt into a tank perfect for any summer getaway.

“I had this irrational idea of what Romeo and Juliet was,” he admits. I always felt that it is quite easy for particularly Romeo to be a little bit whiny. But he was quickly won over by the prospect of taking the storied National Theatre stage alongside Buckley. They approached the idea of a filmed version with some trepidation; both have said they had little interest in a Romeo and Juliet film project. The change in course “suddenly felt a little bit underwhelming.” In hindsight, he chuckles, “there’s nothing underwhelming about it at all.

Then, a cellphone went off. It was President Joe Biden, calling George Floyd’s brother Philonise to offer both congratulations and comfort. As Philonise and other members of the Floyd family, including George’s seven-year-old daughter Gianna, huddled around the phone, which was put on speaker, someone reflexively asked the president how he was doing. “Feeling better now,” Biden responded. Nothing can ever bring back their brother, their father, back.

Alighieri’s Rosh Mahtani, the first jewelry designer to be honored with the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design, may be the wunderkind of London, but she actually spent the first nine years of her life in Zambia. “It really did have an impact on how I think about beauty today, mainly because objects like makeup and lipstick and skin care just weren’t as accessible,” she recalls. Though there was an array of floral waters, cold-pressed oils, and powder-to-clay masks spread before her, Mahtani was most drawn to a humble moss green bar soap. The Rowse soap resting on Alighieri’s Tale of the Sea dish. “I love a product that’s made with such wholesome ingredients that you couldn’t ever use it for anything that would hurt you.”Below, shop Rosh Mahtani’s The One.

Tuesday's verdict made official in the eyes of law what people saw last May: Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is guilty of killing George Floyd. After the jury's decision and the complex mix of emotions it brought, thoughts quickly turned to Frazier, a child who witnessed Floyd's death firsthand. He murdered a man in broad daylight and we are here today because a brave Black girl named Darnella Frazier kept taping despite threats from the cops on the scene," author Mikel Jollett tweeted. Frazier, now 18, was on a walk to Cup Foods convenience store to get snacks with her 9-year-old cousin when she saw the arrest outside. As New York Times editor Jazmine Hughes put it: "We got here because of Darnella Frazier...

But the rumblings started: wait, with added oil and sugar, is oat milk actually good for you? Enter pistachio milk. In 2015, Roxana Saidi was in Paris when she had a hankering for an almond milk latte. Since this was 2015 and, well, Paris, she couldn’t get an almond milk latte. But this is an article about nut milk, so we aren’t really going to get into it.)

"Any hack that can lift the appearance of the skin is worth investigating," makeup artist Erin Parsons tells me of the TikTok method. In term of how best to complement face lift concealer, Parsons suggests contouring under the cheekbones and jawline. I've come to find that when executed nimbly, the face lift concealer hack is one that's not only ultra-flattering in giving the face a more lifted and defined look, but is also a sneaky trick for more of a no-makeup makeup effect. Consider the pro-approved TikTok concealer strategy an easy, high-reward approach for a perfected visage—the 2021 way.

Vogue Features and Commerce Editor Lilah Ramzi’s love for mid-century fashion lends to two personal rules to avoid second thought purchases—shopping vintage and waist-accentuating pieces.

From shopping small business to online purchases, discover the tried and true rules 7 Vogue editors follow for a carefully curated closet below.

I’m at home, I live alone, so I like to look at fashion. “We just finished hair and make-up and we’re about to get dressed,” says Qualley. Is this really our job?” Adds MacDowell, laughing: “My girls and I have always enjoyed fashion together.” And what better way to enjoy it than this? Taking a break from their shoot, MacDowell and Qualley here share the story behind their unbreakable mother-daughter bond, the experience of shooting the campaign together, and the surprising changes lockdown has imposed on their approach to style. How has the experience of getting dressed up to the nines again been today?

Dressing in a coordinated fashion creates effortlessly easy outfits with little to no thought required. This spring’s version, however, takes shape in the form of long tunics and billowy trousers. According to Vogue Runway’s Steff Yotka, tunics were one of the main spring runway trends. And similar to the ease of the soft suiting trend, the elegant tunic and trouser combination is actually even more comfortable since there’s no tailoring or blazer required.

It is also a significant tool to manage stress. “I believe that yoga is for everybody, but it looks different for everybody as well,” says yoga therapist, Kellie Livingstone. “Some people benefit from a more vigorous practice that builds strength, muscle tone and endurance. “When starting to use yoga as a tool for stress relief, it is essential to notice what is already going on inside your body before changing anything,” she advises. Talk your way out of stress through psychotherapyAnother great way to relieve yourself of stress is by talking about it with a professional via therapy.

From functioning as a natural makeup primer to taking cheekbones to new heights, ice cubes are a secret weapon for many top facialists and makeup artists. Jumpstart a Healthy GlowFor as long as he’s been performing transformative facials, celebrity facialist Ole Henriksen has incorporated ice cubes into his treatments. For application, Henriksen suggests wrapping an ice cube in a thin cotton handkerchief and massaging it across the skin. However, you can still reduce the flushing of the skin by applying an ice cube to the roof of your mouth. Banish Under-Eye BagsAccording to Czech, ice cubes can be used as an eye treatment in one of two ways.

How many times have you watched George Floyd die? It felt flimsy against that awful, awful video. Despite feeling like the legal bare minimum, guilty, guilty, guilty is objectively good—a good thing that has happened after months of incredibly bad things in a bad system. I’m not naming the guy that did this to George Floyd because this is bigger than him; he’s part of a rotting system that needs triage. I recognize the guilty, guilty, guilty verdict is not a bandage for systemic inequality, but guilty, guilty, guilty sends a clear message: America will not tolerate this.

Here, Thunberg explains why she wants our leaders to move beyond “big words and little action” when it comes to tackling the climate crisis. On Earth Day 2021, April 22nd, at the Leaders’ Climate Summit led by United States president Joe Biden, countries will present their new climate commitments, including net-zero by 2050. However, when you compare the overall current best-available science to these insufficient, so-called “climate targets,” you can clearly see that there’s a gap—there are decades missing where drastic action must be taken. But we must not forget that while we can fool others and even ourselves, we cannot fool nature and physics. If you call these pledges and commitments “bold” or “ambitious,” then you clearly haven’t fully understood the emergency we are in.

Photo: SplashNewsNew-mom Emily Ratajkowski stepped out yesterday in a classic, relaxed warm-weather look. True to her brand, she wore a cropped sheer shirt from her own label Inamorata (after all, Emrata’s signature is a midriff-baring look.) Ratajkowski wore a pair of dark-wash, low-slung carpenter pants from Dickies, a tried-and-true pair that she has sworn by for quite some time now, even pre-pregnancy. The look, loose and summer-ready, feels like the quintessential late ’90s and early ’00s cool girl get-up. In fact, a loose pant and crop top union feels right in step with the beginnings of summer.

But one actor who’s managed to shine through it all is Leslie Odom Jr., a breakout red carpet star and a relative newcomer to best dressed lists. Yermagyan began working with Odom Jr. back at the 2018 Tony Awards, when he dressed him in a classic, black pinstriped suit. “We wanted to make a statement with each look,” Yermagyan says. Yermagyan’s personal favorite was the two Versace suits—both in bright colors—that he styled Odom Jr. in at the BAFTAs. “The men he has portrayed have an irreverence to them and buck the system,” says Yermagyan of Odom Jr.’s work.

Robyn in particular came under attack from fans, who called her a total hypocrite. The criticisms focused upon Robyn involved a recollection of Robyn's desire to move to Flagstaff in the first place. Fans saw Robyn unwilling to uproot in return, and called her out, accusing her of hypocrisy. The whole issue with that conflict was that everyone but Christine didn't want to move. But many fans felt like Robyn was being the most hypocritical.

Backstage, Jovi and Brandon shared their doubts about Amira's version of what happened in Mexico. "Like, I've traveled to a lot of places, to a lot of very sketchy places," Jovi emphasized. It was the assertions that Jovi and Brandon made that rubbed fans the wrong way, however. Jovi and Brandon may face many challenges in their lives, but they are not marginalized for their race. That said, some fans think that Andrew and Amira's weird quarantine plan was what got Amira detained.

Unless it is crack, Don’t don’t do that s**t!! “Vinny Guadagnino your [sic] corny just tell the guy u want his wife already it’s getting old bro,” one person commented. “Vinny Guadagnino kinda stupid for you to post that comment on !chris_e_piss_e page. “Vinny Guadagnino you just bitter,” a third chimed in. “Vinny Guadagnino, cornball at its finest.

It's been quite the evolution for Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker over the past several weeks, hasn't it? Everyone out there has seen Kourtney Kardashian, right?!? The mother of three just took to her own social media page and asked a telling question:ROUGH SEX: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT? They were kissing a lot in front of other beach goers and maybe planning some sort of rough sex for the night ahead. We're just saying what Kourtney and Travis continue to say about each other... over and over and over.

This past Tuesday night, MTV aired the final episode of Teen Mom OG Season 8. And now we must ask ourselves the following question:Did MTV also air the final episode of Teen Mom OG... period? Teen Mom OG has also come under fire for continuing to employ Amber Portwood after her arrest last July for domestic violence. And these Teen Mom OG cast members still generate plenty of social media buzz, which does mean a lot for shows these days. The ratings for Teen Mom OG simply haven't been the same since she was fired.

Jenelle Evans has always tried to live her life as an open book. As part of that, Jenelle has been talking about some deeply personal things on TikTok. Jenelle said her dreams were about Teen Mom. Different things affect people in different ways, of course, but Jenelle has undoubtedly been through some extremely dark experiences. This time around, she's launching The Jenelle Evans Podcast, and so far we only know the name of the podcast, its logo, and that it's "launching very soon."

This week, Matt Kirschenheiter agreed to plead guilty in his domestic assault case. On Tuesday, April 20, Matt pleaded guilty to one felony count of domestic battery with corporal injury of a spouse. "Your eyes were completely black, and you were not Matt," Gina described. She then acknowledged: "But it was.”“It’s taken me a lot of time, self-care, and therapy to work through what happened that night," Gina described. All of this stems from a harrowing attack in June of 2019 in which Matt assaulted Gina and threatened her life.

For months now, we've been hearing rumors of major strife within the marriage of Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo. Jinger and Jeremy have backed away from the spotlight a bit, but unfortunately for them, they're not in a position to quit social media entirely. Not only that, but Jinger and Jeremy have styled themselves as the most down-to-earth and relatable members of the extended Duggar clan. “I think it was a way for Mr. Duggar to get to know me,” he said. … You have to know who you are.”So it sounds like Jinger and Jeremy are planning to really "go there" in their memoir -- but even in moments of extreme candor, they dare not disparage the esteemed "Mr.

There was a time when it seemed that Jinger Duggar had the healthiest marriage of all her siblings. She and Jeremy Vuolo didn't seem to concern themselves with the opinions of Jim Bob or Duggar-obsessed social media commenters. Jinger and Jeremy have encountered their fair share of ups and downs in recent years, that's for sure. Many fans are convinced that Jinger and Jeremy have quit the podcast because of criticism of the rude manner in which Jeremy behaves toward his wife. In addition to stepping away from their podcast, it seems that Jinger and Jeremy are considering quitting Counting On, the show that made them famous.

The Duggar family has been more secretive than ever lately. The folks who watch the Duggar clan most closely have concluded that Anna is pregnant with her seventh child. And in case you were wondering what sort of content is considered suitable for Duggar family movie night. "Anna is definitely pregnant, she's wearing black and her face is puffy," another commenter observed. Normally, we'd assume that if Anna is pregnant she'd be making an announcement sometime soon.

We hope that it's a good one ... because one member of Bachelor Nation claims that it will be the last. "But also … I think there won’t be another Bachelor season,” Blake, who turns 32 this week, added. “I think it’ll end after Michelle," Blake speculated, and was the first to admit that this was very much a "hot take." “Whether you think it’s right, wrong, whatever your stance is on the [Chris Harrison scandal]," Blake explained. If the Bachelor franchise dies, it will have been killed by racism - both within and without.

Okay, so you may have noticed that there's a little bit of a Bachelorette spoiler in that headline above. According to a new report from Reality Steve, The Bachelor spoilers and The Bachelorette spoilers guru:Michelle Young will also be the new Bachelorette! "Michelle’s Bachelorette season will film sometime after BIP films (most likely all of July) and air later on in the fall," he added. Anyway, the important thing here is that fans are in for more of Michelle Young, who might be the most beloved contestant in the history of the franchise. But when she does take the reins as the new Bachelorette, perhaps she'll be the star that a jittery Bachelor Nation can unify behind.

Sister Wives viewers have known for ages now that Kody Brown is an awful husband. In the end, as we documented last year, Christine did accompany Ysabel and Sister Wives fans jumped all over Kody for not doing the same. A third jumped in as follows:"The fact that Kody thought Christine wanting Ysabel to get this surgery because of severe pain was an attempt to manipulate Kody is f***ing disgusting. Kody has been receiving tons of crap ever since the finale aired and folks across the country got to see how terribly he treated his sister wives. And will Sister Wives even come back?

Another season of Teen Mom OG is coming to an end. As The Ashley's Reality Roundup reported this week, Teen Mom OG has been renewed by MTV for another season. Before we get into the current numbers, here's a bit of history to provide some perspective:When it premiered back in December of 2009, Teen Mom OG (known simply as Teen Mom in those days) became an overnight sensation. By the end of its first season, Teen Mom was attracting an audience of 3.6 million. The season finale of Teen Mom Season 2 drew in an astonishing 5.6 million viewers.

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick have been broken up for several years. Scott and Kourtney have three kids together, of course, so it makes sense that they would still be in regular contact. It's important to note that the scene was filmed before Kourtney started dating Travis Barker. Disick goes on to explain that his mind is only at ease during the times when Kourtney is not in a relationship. Insiders say Kourtney is head over heels for Travis, a partner who possesses the maturity that Scott always lacked.

It will continue to take a long time for Jill Duggar to fully deprogram from her family's cult. Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo spoke to Us Weekly about recently touching base with Jill and Derick. “They’re working through some things,” Jeremy characterized. Jeremy stressed that he and Jinger are "definitely hoping" that the Duggar family resolve things. But clearly, many in Jill's family just want their sister back, to spend time with her again.

On March 30, Shah was arrested for conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. “In actual reality and as alleged, the so-called business opportunities pushed on the victims by Shah, Smith, and their co-conspirators were just fraudulent schemes, motivated by greed, to steal victims’ money. Which, in her case, means being a full-time cast member on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. The second season of this prrogram does not yet have a release date, so fans will have to wait to see exactly how the Salt Lake City housewives reacted to the news. But Jen Shah almost definitely bilked senior citizens out of their hard-earned retirement money.

For reasons understood only by him, Andrew Kenton stormed out of the 90 Day Fiance Tell All. We saw Andrew enjoy a solo vacation while Amira had to return to France after her mysterious detention in Mexico City. Then, we saw Amira once again decide to try to get to the US another way. According to Amira, Andrew spent the night before her flight pressuring her to commit to having kids right away. If Andrew wanted to get his story out, he should have used the Tell All when he could, not Instagram.

It is, at last, all over between Jana Kramer and Mike Caussin. Just a month ago, in an apparent precursor to this announcement, Kramer shared a photo of herself in tears -- following an ugly fight with Caussin. "I'll always encourage you to continue the good fight, but you can't fight it alone." Back in 2016, Kramer and Caussin separated after the latter admitted to cheating on the former.

In our very first look at a new season of Little People, Big World, we get a sneak peek at how Amy Roloff, Matt Roloff and their kids are adjusting to life amid the COVID-19 pandemic. These episodes were filmed in early 2020, shortly after Amy moved off the farm in Oregon and into herr own place. Elsewhere, Matt Roloff is going strong with his girlfriend, Caryn Chandler, who is facing questions about her intentions when it comes to the romance. Although it's been five years since Matt and Amy divorced, the time has finally arrived for them to divide assets pertaining to the family farm. "I've honestly never felt loss like I did in that moment," Tori wrote on Instagram at the time.

Courtesy of Kim Kardashian/InstagramConsidering Kim Kardashian is one of the most famous people in the world, it’s no surprise her bank account comes with a lot of zeros. In fact, as of 2021, the longtime Keeping Up With the Kardashians star officially has an estimated net worth of $1 billion, according to Forbes. Kim Kardashian has been on KUWTK since 2007:Although the popular E! Foolishly and ignorantly, we never thought that it would be a problem,” Kim explained during an episode of KUWTK. “But then I open the next box and it is stock to Amazon, where he got the gift card, stock to Netflix, stock to Apple where he got the headphones, Adidas stock and Disney stock.”

Reality star Jill Duggar, along with her husband Derick Dillard, has garnered many headlines of late for being critical of her parents. In the videos, Duggar explains to the camera that she and the boys are playing an obedience game. "Jill has a lot of cult brainwashing she still needs to work through! I think Jill needs to continue her counseling as disappointingly the cult brainwashing is real! Or how the kids are feeling... how they're reacting ... and ... well... basically anything at all outside of a few pictures?

If you watched part one of the reunion, you know that Maci Bookout's husband, Taylor McKinney, did not hold back when it came to describing her ex, Ryan Edwards. I think he’s shown the Edwards that he’s found his voice. Ryan refused to take the stage with Taylor and Maci, so he was spared having to immediately respond to that tirade. But it should come as no surprise that he responded later, in an interview with UK tabloid The Sun -- and like Taylor, Ryan did not hold back. "I think Taylor is a punk b--ch," he told the outlet.

Chrissy Teigen revealed that she discussed Khloé Kardashian‘s unedited bikini photo controversy with her therapist due to how the situation triggered her personal body image struggles. At the time, an insider told Life & Style that the Good American founder “went ballistic” when the picture started making waves. It’s very hypocritical to tell your fans to own their body types when you can’t do it yourself. It’s disappointing.”The scandal came after years of speculation that the Revenge Body host Photoshops her Instagram photos. “The photo that was posted this week is beautiful,” she told fans in the post.

Scott Disick and girlfriend Amelia Gray Hamlin were spotted packing on the PDA at a hair salon in Los Angeles on Monday, April 19 — the same day his ex Kourtney Kardashian seemingly hinted to her “kinky” sex life with new boyfriend Travis Barker. “ROUGH SEX: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT?” Kourtney captioned the post via her Instagram Stories. “It’s not for everyone, but we’re fans and wanted to investigate the kinky bedroom preference,” read the blog post. One day prior to the steamy post, Travis dropped the L-bomb in a heartfelt yet NSFW post in honor of his lady love’s 42nd birthday. She’s young, but she’s responsible enough and a good influence on Scott.”

Blake Horstmann Clarifies ‘Prediction’ About the ‘Bachelor’ Ending: ‘I Make My Living Off of the Show’Bachelor Nation star Blake Horstmann clarified his “prediction” that The Bachelor would “end” after Michelle Young’s season of The Bachelorette later this year amid Chris Harrison’s controversy. I don’t think there will be another Bachelor season. I think it will end after Michelle. Before Rachael, 24, released a written apology on Instagram, Chris went on Extra in February to talk about the controversy with former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay. It has not been announced who will be the host of season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise, coming this summer, or season 18 of The Bachelorette with Michelle.

Kourtney Kardashian’s kids are “grossed out” watching her pack on the PDA with boyfriend Travis Barker, especially “daddy’s boy” Mason, an insider exclusively tells Life & Style. “It’s a tough adjustment seeing their mom all over someone else,” the insider explains about the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s kids, Mason, 11, Penelope, 8, and Reign, 6, whom she shares with ex Scott Disick.

Wondering where John Legend‘s longtime friendship with Kanye West stands amid his ongoing divorce with Kim Kardashian? “I will say I have definitely been in touch with Kim more than John has been in touch with Kanye,” Chrissy replied. “If anyone knows Kanye, it’s that he goes off the grid and it’s hard to ever contact him.”The mom of two also said that “Kim is doing OK” following the split.

And when you have a lot of attention, sometimes you don’t want to leave the house because it’s just too much.”Time will tell if Tom stays in London long-term!

The former MLB star, 45, was “done pretending” that things between them were solid, a source tells In Touch exclusively. One day later, a rep for the A-listers denied breakup rumors to In Touch. Despite their denial of the cheating allegations, a separate source told In Touch in March that J. Lo and A-Rod “did have some problems” before their split. “Especially cheating rumors on Alex’s part.”The exes first started dating in 2017 and announced their engagement nearly two years later, in 2019.

I’m talking about the Great Toilet Paper Crisis of 2020. Yet where COVID-19 was nature’s doing, the toilet paper crisis was entirely humanity’s fault. Talking to CNBC, Noble revealed that the machinery of toilet paper product basically never stops for a break, since it’s a commodity constantly in demand even during normal times. But one good thing did come from the Great Toilet Paper Crisis of 2020. Even my own mother wanted to know if I had any toilet paper I could get her.”

When it comes to those little ketchup packets, most restaurants have. America is going through a great ketchup shortage right now, the Wall Street Journal reports. But that extra demand for packet-based ketchup has now led to a shortage. As a matter of fact, the shortage has seen ketchup packet prices skyrocket 13% since January 2020 and pushed ketchup sales to over $1 billion last year. But what is to be done about the great ketchup packet shortage?

advertisement advertisementApple is fond of declaring that the iPad Pro isn’t a computer. When Apple introduced the capable new iPad Air last fall, the difference between the iPad Pro and the rest of the iPad line shrank. Now, with these potent new Pro models, that gap just opened up again. However, the iPad—at least in the iPad Pro era—has yet to reach it. Why is iPad Pro hardware so much more pro than iPad Pro software?

At its Spring Loaded event held virtually on Tuesday, the very first thing Apple announced was a new Apple Card feature called Apple Card Family. Available in the U.S. in May, Apple Card Family allows two people to co-own an Apple Card credit card, merging their credit lines while building credit together equally. Apple Card Family also lets parents share an Apple Card with their children. The path to women’s credit independence started with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974. In its investigation, NYDFS found that gender was not a factor influencing Apple Card eligibility.

The current public health crisis and resulting economic crisis have devastated the health and economic wellbeing of millions of Americans. Economic Impact PaymentsThrough this third round of Economic Impact Payments, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are ensuring that Americans will receive fast and direct relief during the final phase of the COVID-19 crisis. The Treasury Department and the IRS continue to expand outreach to the millions of homeless, rural poor, and other disadvantaged Americans to ensure that they receive Economic Impact Payments. Child Tax CreditThe American Rescue Plan’s expansion of the Child Tax Credit will substantially reduce child poverty by supplementing the earnings of families receiving the tax credit. The American Rescue Plan waives federal income taxes on the first $10,200 of unemployment benefits received in 2020 by middle- and lower-income taxpayers.

Michelle Lujan Grisham on Wednesday signed into law a significant relief package for New Mexicans that will deliver grants to small New Mexico businesses, supplemental payments to the unemployed and other emergency food and housing relief. “I know this stimulus will mean so much to so many New Mexicans as we enter the holiday season,” said Gov. We must continue to evaluate how we can get more assistance to more New Mexicans who need it in this time of crisis. The package provides for $100 million in grants for small businesses in New Mexico. The legislation was approved Tuesday evening in both chambers of the Legislature on overwhelming bipartisan votes.

If the jury in the trial of Derek Chauvin finds him guilty on any of the three charges he faces, it will certainly be a dramatic televised moment when the verdict is read. Mr. Chauvin, who has been out on bail since last fall, might also be able to go home after a guilty verdict, as he awaits sentencing. It would be up to the judge to either order Mr. Chauvin to jail immediately, or let him remain out on bail, should he be found guilty. Mr. Chauvin is charged with two counts of murder — second-degree unintentional murder and third-degree murder — and the sentencing guidelines for each, for a defendant like Mr. Chauvin with no criminal history, is 12.5 years. Mr. Chauvin is also charged with second-degree manslaughter, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, but under the guidelines he would most likely be sentenced to four years.

While not quite on the level of pea guacamole (yet), a recent New York Times article is raising eyebrows. Originally titled “The Blobs In Your Tea?

On a combined basis, HBO and streaming service HBO Max added 2.7 subscribers in the first quarter, WarnerMedia parent AT&T reported. HBO Max, the nearly year-old service available at no extra cost to HBO subscribers, propelled the overall HBO number to 44.2 million subscribers. Content revenues increased, which the company attributed to higher sales to HBO Max for theatrical product and basic networks licensing. Those gains were partly offset by lower TV product licensing from prior-year licensing to HBO Max. Globally, HBO and HBO Max reached 63.9 million subscribers.

The majority of the stimulus payments have already been processed, according to the state comptroller. — The majority of stimulus payments from Maryland's new RELIEF Act should be processed by Friday February 19, according to the state's comptroller. Larry Hogan signed the bipartisan RELIEF Act of 2021 Monday, February 15, to provide a $1 billion package of emergency coronavirus relief to families and small businesses. The legislation repeals all state and local taxes on unemployment benefits and includes immediate stimulus payments of $500 for families and $300 for individuals who filed for the Earned Income Tax Credit. Franchot's office says 98% of RELIEF Act stimulus payments to individuals will be processed by Friday, February 19.

Hundreds of thousands of state-funded stimulus payments are set to hit the bank accounts of unemployed Coloradans this week, according to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. “So Colorado is boldly doing our part to help our own.”Since then, the state labor department has notified eligible residents directly, according to its website. Residents don’t need to take any action to receive their payments, according to the labor department. Users using pre-loaded debit cards will get their stimulus checks that way. The payments are significantly less than the federal government’s $1,200 CARES Act stimulus checks issued last spring.

Fear and anxiety, on the other hand, you can manage. Available research suggests it also seems to have a big impact on how we interpret uncertainty, in the sense that sleep is a natural anxiety relief medication. But Walker’s research has found that subjects’ anxiety levels decreased dramatically following a full night of sleep. Brain scans show that the medial prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain understood to regulate fear and anxiety, is recharged by nightly rest (and without it, shuts down). The important thing is exercising versus not exercising, as people in the latter group report much higher rates of anxiety (and depression, too).

People keep coming to me for help, which is great, but I often end up doing the job instead of teaching them. —CEO of a well-funded company that is doing great Dear CEO, First, congrats that the company is doing well.

The U.S. now aims to cut annual greenhouse gas emissions in half—between 50% and 52% lower than 2005 levels—by the end of the decade. The Biden administration announced the goal today as its new commitment under the Paris climate agreement , nearly doubling the previous commitment made under Obama. There should be a plausible pathway to success.”In one analysis, Hultman and other researchers found that a combination of new policies and federal standards could cut emissions 51% by 2030. That’s partly by design—countries set voluntary goals under the Paris agreement and then are expected to ramp up ambition over time. More than 200 American companies have science-based targets to cut emissions.

Which is exactly why Polaroid’s latest camera, the Polaroid Go, looks like the perfect product for the moment.

Stock Polaroid film is 3.5 inches square. With the smaller film, Polaroid could shrink the mirror and the rest of the system.

In New York City, the dominant micromobility option is Citi Bike, the official bike-sharing system of the city. But one micromobility company wants to try a new model: putting its sharable bikes on private property instead. Unlike with Citi Bikes, users will be able to reserve the e-bikes via smartphone; they’ll be charged $1 for unlocking, plus 25¢ per minute of use, versus Citi Bike’s $3.50 per single ride under 30 minutes and 18¢ per minute thereafter. Citi Bike, Wejman says, “has done a tremendous job of driving cycling adoption in New York,” and the cycling infrastructure is already in place. The aim is to complement Citi Bike with a fleet of electric bikes, to show that demand can be met with private and public models working together.

It was carrying new technology designed to capture CO2 from the atmosphere at a height of 52,800 feet. The startup, an Israel-based company called High Hopes with a German subsidiary, isn’t the first to develop so-called “direct air capture” technology to fight climate change. Others followed, including Global Thermostat, a startup that built a giant carbon capture plant in Alabama. But High Hopes is taking a new approach to the problem. With relatively little energy, the air can be cooled enough to freeze the carbon out of the air and capture it in an adsorbent material.

Creating a stonewashed or distressed look on a single pair of jeans requires 15 gallons of water. Last year, the Japanese retailer opened a Jeans Innovation Center in Los Angeles to develop more eco-friendly approaches to manufacturing jeans. Given Uniqlo’s enormous scale—its parent company is the world’s most valuable clothing retailer—this new approach could have a large impact. Fast Retailing—Uniqlo’s parent company, which also owns Theory and Helmut Lang—hasn’t fared well in recent sustainability reports. To create a stonewashed look, Uniqlo previously used pumice stones, but they would quickly break down, producing a residue, so the brand switched to artificial stones that last much longer.

Owning a home is a key part of the iconic American dream, but when housing costs go up—and wage levels do not— that makes it hard to do. A new study from QuoteWizard by LendingTree finds that the imbalance today is real. Over the past 10 years, the median price of a home has increased 70% to $129,000 while the median income has only risen 30% to $14,695. The states with the biggest gaps are:Nevada : 118.8 percentage points or $275,724: 118.8 percentage points or $275,724 Idaho : 118.6 percentage points or $298,001: 118.6 percentage points or $298,001 Arizona: 99.3 percentage points or $256,945If buying a home is important to you, consider developing a taste for cheesecake, Bobbie sandwiches, or gumbo, because in New York, Delaware, and Louisiana, income increased more than housing costs did. For its study, QuoteWizard by LendingTree analyzed data from Zillow and the U.S. Census.

The Internal Revenue Service added a question about cryptocurrency on 1040 tax forms for 2020, asking taxpayers if they’ve “received, sold, sent, exchanged, or otherwise acquired any financial interest in any virtual currency” during the past year. (Note: You don’t have to answer “yes” to that question if you only purchased cryptocurrency in 2020.) Now, the agency is reminding taxpayers to make sure they answer the new cryptocurrency question correctly—otherwise, they could see a delay in their tax refunds. All of which is a way of saying, if you dabble in crypto, make sure you answer the crypto question correctly. According to federal law, digital currencies such as bitcoin and litecoin are considered property and therefore subject to capital gains tax.

She'd founded her company, Houzz, in 2009 along with her husband, Alon Cohen. More than a decade later, stay-home orders and subsequent health-and-safety precautions forced Tatarko to work from home again. And in the process, Tatarko learned perhaps her biggest lesson from the pandemic: Never say never. Houzz saw 60 percent growth in homeowners looking for help from professionals during 2020. Houzz also saw a boost in outdoor-space renovations, and investments in using every inch of a property.

AT&T has reported that HBO and HBO Max had a terrific first quarter of 2021, reports Deadline. The company’s subscription and streaming services added 2.7 million subscribers in the quarter that just ended. Also during the quarter, HBO Max debuted Zack Snyder’s Justice League, another anticipated title (with an almost mythical status among fans). However, Netflix’s 4 million haul was well under the 6 million subscribers expected. And if HBO Max’s numbers now reveal anything, it’s that viewers subscribe to get access to new, hit content like Godzilla vs. Kong.

The Biden administration is considering whether to lower the nicotine content of cigarettes to nonaddictive levels, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. In 2017, then-President Trump’s FDA commissioner tried to reduce the nicotine in cigarettes, but his policy efforts were abandoned when he abruptly resigned in 2019. Regulating nicotine content has reportedly been under discussion at the FDA since the 1990s. The 2009 Tobacco Control Act allows the FDA to regulate ingredient levels in cigarettes, but it also required that regulations be backed up by scientific research. This clause was a coup for the tobacco industry, because scientific research takes years.

It’s a new age of stimulus payments in America, where some households received 4-5 payments in the last year. If you thought stimulus payments come only from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), think again: Some Californians were surprised to find $600 stimulus payments in their bank accounts this month. What’s going on with state stimulus payments? The idea is to shore up struggling workers while also playing fair with taxpayers who missed out on federal stimulus checks. The Maryland and California stimulus checks were signed into law in February, before President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act in March, which provides federal stimulus checks of up to $1,400.

Since this comes with added risk to the seller, most are unwilling to accept these offers in today’s red-hot market. “Listings are so low that buyers will wait.”Typically, sellers would pay a daily, weekly or monthly rate to lease the home back from the buyer.

What pet insurance does and doesn’t coverLet’s begin with the dental work that almost certainly isn’t covered by pet insurance: preventive treatment. But, as with medical conditions, the disease cannot be present when the animal is insured — since pet insurance does not cover pre-existing conditions. Further, reimbursement for periodontal treatments may be denied if the owner ignored calls to clean the pet’s teeth. Other sources also recommend regular brushing of your pet’s teeth, with help from your vet to get started.

But the reality is that full-time employees (FTEs) and contractors have different motivations, expectations and backgrounds. Motivations and OpportunitiesUnderstanding the differences between the motivations and opportunities of internal team members and project-based contractors is the first step. These often can come from team members and the team leader, all of whom can post on social media. Ground rulesAs you bring the team together and launch the work, create and enforce explicit agreements and ground rules of behavior for both contractors and internal project team members.

University of Chicago economist Richard Thaler and Harvard Law School professor Cass Sunstein popularized the term “nudge” in 2008, but due to recent advances in AI and machine learning, algorithmic nudging is much more powerful than its non-algorithmic counterpart. Algorithmic nudging tactics are increasingly being employed in work environments as companies are using texts, gamification, and push notifications to influence their workforce. For many companies, nudging workers is a promising approach to achieve their organizational goals through higher worker performance and/or cost savings. But companies should not give up on algorithmic management to control workers through nudging. Companies engaging in algorithmic nudging need to be transparent about the collection and storage of this data.

Back in 1955, Paramount Studios’ legendary costume designer Edith Head sized up a young actress named Grace Kelly and handed her a sac à dépêches, a simple leather handbag made by Hermès in Paris. Because she worked for Alfred Hitchcock, Head could pretty much buy what she wanted. And to Head’s unerring eye, the 26-year-old Kelly, starring alongside Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief, required a simple, stylish purse. The bag’s appearance in the film was forgettable, but a year later—and shortly after Kelly married Prince Rainier of Monaco—she used the bag to deftly conceal her obvious pregnancy from the paparazzi. While the photographers popped their flashbulbs, eyes popped over the beautiful leather accessory, and Hermès’ sac à dépêches became, simply, the Kelly Bag.

Just as some employees may have been unhappy with work arrangements before the pandemic, others will likely take issue with the post-pandemic work order.

In the ger district where they lived, most people do not have central heating, and they warm their homes by making fire in their stoves. “The science has been clear on climate change, and it has been clear for a while; but as we see, the facts don’t change people’s behavior.

Balboni joined the Department of Economics in 2019 and has been working toward making environmental economics a core topic in the department.

Of all the paradoxes in the paradoxical field known as home economics, perhaps the most peculiar is the practice house, with its practice baby. Yet the experiments were collectivist projects, nothing like the domestic lot of most American women, or the idealized futures that home ec touted. For most of them, home economics represented the only way they could enter scientific fields. Mamer “saw a longer, healthier, fuller life for women,” Dreilinger writes. Women, fortunately, can go into science now without insisting that they’re doing so in the service of tidier homes.

That number is 1.5 degrees Celsius, which is enshrined in Article 2 of the 2016 Paris climate accord as the world’s official goal for how much we will let the planet warm. Even though the temperature had risen less than one degree Celsius, we were already seeing extensive Arctic ice melt, for instance. In the years since, the number has dramatically reorganized global thinking around the climate, setting up the possibility that we might improve on the Paris timetable. You’ve taken on the task of helping defend the Arctic ice sheet. This is affecting the very stability of global climate regulators.

We’ve largely become inured to the valorization of greed, and yet the announcement, on Sunday, of the creation of a European Super League still managed to shock. In contrast, the Super League would be “the rich stealing what the people created.” (Notably, P.S.G., a very rich club, refused to commit to the Super League. German clubs function according to a community-ownership structure, which likely explains why Bayern Munich, the reigning Champions League winner, and Borussia Dortmund allegedly spurned overtures from the Super League.) UEFA and FIFA, the governing bodies that oversee the Champions League and the World Cup, respectively, threatened to bar Super League participants from their competitions. United’s American owners, who also own the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, were at the center of the Super League proposal.

The disparity between the Division I men’s and women’s basketball championships was highlighted in a document provided to multiple media outlets by the NCAA. It has been brought to my attention that there is a history of gender inequality, and we’re very concerned by this.

Let’s address the first issue: the disparity between the men’s and women’s weight rooms.

On Monday morning, shortly after the final arguments in the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd began, members of Floyd’s family walked through the deserted streets of downtown Minneapolis toward the fortified entrance of the Hennepin County Government Center. “For some reason, I’ve been beating myself up, because I didn’t come to the store that day,” he said, of the day Floyd was killed. He had spoken on the phone with a brother in Los Angeles, who asked him whether Minneapolis was going to burn. Within the hour, several hundred people gathered in downtown Minneapolis for a rally. And they chanted the name of Daunte Wright, whose funeral will be held on Thursday, at the Shiloh Temple, in north Minneapolis.

Under the newly devised rating system, “Oliver!” became the first G-rated film to win Best Picture, and it remains the last. Two of this year’s eight Best Picture nominees are set largely in 1969, and they show what Hollywood wouldn’t bring itself to see back then. But what will this year’s Best Picture slate reveal to observers a half century from now? Before we find out the big winner, this Sunday, here’s a look at the eight contenders for Best Picture.

Largely forgotten in this defining period of American history, however, is the virulent racism that Chinese immigrants endured on the other side of the country. In one particularly horrific episode, in 1885, white miners in Rock Springs, in the Wyoming Territory, massacred at least twenty-eight Chinese miners and drove out several hundred others. They captured about seventy-five Chinese miners and marched them through the town of Shasta, where people pelted them with stones. The incident remains one of the worst instances of a mass lynching in American history. It banned Chinese laborers from entering the United States for ten years, and prohibited Chinese immigrants already here from becoming citizens.

The United States officially has a new goal for fighting climate change over the next decade.

To help combat this scary statistic, IAMS created its NOSEiD app — a beta version of which is currently available in Nashville and the surrounding area. The app works by relying on helpful animal lovers and a pooch's nose print. Like the human fingerprint, each dog's nose print (the patterned texture on the tip of a pup's snout) is unique, making it a great, non-invasive way to identify your pet. If a dog registered with the NOSEiD app goes missing, their owner can report their dog as lost through the app, and NOSEiD will instantly send a missing dog alert to other NOSEiD app users in their community so that they can be on the lookout. If the nose print matches that of a missing dog, the finder can connect with the dog's family through the app.

Four justices have to vote to hear an appeal, which ensures that thousands of petitions are swatted away without comment, leaving the lower court's decision as the final word. Unfairness is baked into the cake: SCOTUS's desire for tidy docket management means that egregious wrongs go unrighted simply because four justices lack the nerve, the bandwidth, or the desire to address them.

If any one player were going to enter this gated community, why not Medvedev? He’s reached multiple major finals. After Wawrinka and Thiem, statistically, I would contend that he’s the next best player over the past decade. As we saw last fall with the allegations leveled against Zverev, the ATP suffers for not having a credible domestic violence policy. Four additional players will join the main draw via wild card entry, to be announced at a later date.

Yet most of your questions and chatter revolved around the ATP labor issues. The ATP and WTA were both founded as 50/50 partnerships between players (labor/talent) and tournaments (management). They tell the parents about the opportunities for college scholarships and the fact that nine of the 10 highest-paid female athletes are tennis players. The most marginal NFL or NBA player makes more than all but the very best tennis players. For simplicity though, I just doubled the old ranking points from 2001-2008 and added them to 2009-2021 (including 2021 AO).

• On the most recent pod, Jamie and I talk Miami Open and ATP Tour hijinks. You’ve probably gone over this before, however I’m curious as to the early start times for the men’s and women’s finals at the Miami Open. But tennis players make far less of gross revenues than do golfers—also independent contractors on a tour run as an umbrella non-profit. They keep appointing former tennis players and tournament directors when they should have a few businessmen on board. The tournaments need the players and the players need the tournaments, but in no way is Larry Ellison a partner of the players in a business sense.

Osaka won her fourth Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in February, but in five Miami appearances she has never advanced beyond the quarterfinals.

Sakkari also served well and would repeatedly extend rallies until Osaka made an error.

We had a few questions about the ITF’s “research project examining sports gender equality across the media and social media, commissioned as part of its ITF’s Advantage All gender equality strategy.” It was discussed here: 'Level the Playing Field' Global Forum. Conversely, the conversation around women’s tennis is less intense and relatively more focused on life off court, from health and age to family. When you read: “There were 11x more mentions of skin colour in women's tennis,” that seems jarring, even appalling, at first; and then you realize that it is perhaps utterly reasonable on further examination. (I would submit that if race weren’t mentioned exponentially more with respect to women’s tennis, it would suggest a much bigger problem.) With that as context, is it at all revelatory that: “G.O.A.T was mentioned 50% more in men's tennis content than women's”?

LONDON (AP) — After the aborted attempt to form a European Super League, Liverpool owner John Henry attempted to regain the trust of fans with an apology video on Wednesday. Even players and coaching staff at the Premier League champions were left in the dark before the announcement on Sunday of the Super League. United, City and Chelsea only gave brief statements announcing they were deserting the Super League with no details. The Manchester United Supporters’ Trust said for once fans weren’t ignored after they mobilized in opposition and managed to kill off the Super League. More Super League Coverage:

GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany — Schalke has condemned the fans who police said pelted players with eggs hours after the team was relegated from the Bundesliga. “During this encounter, so far unidentified individual people from the crowd crossed lines which FC Schalke 04 considers non-negotiable,” the club said. Schalke added that it understood the anger but “the club will never accept the physical welfare of its players and staff being endangered. Relegation follows a dramatic decline for Schalke, which played in the Champions League knockout stages two seasons before. The club is in deep financial trouble and has won only two Bundesliga games all season.

The optics of the World Women’s Championship in Halifax being pulled the day before teams were due to arrive for the event were terrible. In fact, one longtime respected chronicler of women’s hockey referred to them in a Hockey Canada media conference as “crap.” And Hockey Canada president Tom Renney did not dispute that characterization. And the men’s World Championship is still on the rails, scheduled for Latvia in just over a month. Would this government have shut down the men’s World Championship under the same circumstances? “We have every intention of making sure we follow through with a Women’s World Championship here in Canada at a point in the near future,” Renney said.

MADRID (AP) — While trying to at least keep the idea of the Super League alive, more of the founding members of the controversial breakaway competition abandoned the project on Wednesday. The moves by Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Atlético Madrid came a day after the six Premier League clubs involved in the new competition made it unviable by dropping out, leaving Spanish powerhouses Real Madrid and Barcelona as the only teams still officially in it. The Spanish league planned to continue its campaign against the Super League with various actions and messages during matches on Wednesday and Thursday. Widespread protests by fans in England played a big part in the decision by the Premier League clubs to leave the new competition. More Super League Coverage:

On Wednesday, North Dakota Gov. "North Dakota today has a level playing field and fairness in girls' sports," Burgum said. "We have every confidence that they will continue to ensure a level playing field for the 27,000 students who participate in North Dakota high school sports." Proponents of the North Dakota bill argue that the ban is a needed step to ensure fairness in girls' sports. “House Bill 1298 was never about leveling the playing field for student athletes," Skarin said.

It just turns out that the Super League didn't even need to play a game in order to accomplish its goal. Years in the making, a European super league, extravagantly named the Super League, would be made up of 20 teams that included 15 founding members who could never face relegation or fail to qualify. "We have created the Super League to save football," Perez said on El Chiringuito de Jugones. The calm before the storm settled in on Tuesday afternoon as pressure on the proposed Super League continued to mount. In the end, the Super League was effectively suspended as Champions League sponsor Heineken reminded us all of the only possible explanation for such an ill-advised idea.

But there’s a counterpoint: by now, shouldn’t U.S. Soccer and MLS have produced more than 20 U-23 players who can beat Honduras? The Olympic elimination touched a nerve, perhaps unearthing some American soccer PTSD left over from the 2017 disaster in Couva. But this failure is different from that one, and from the two prior Olympic disappointments, in one crucial way.

Powell’s strength and resilience inspires Cunningham, who said the legend reminds her that she needs to keep pushing for the Black women who are coming up behind her. Cunningham has worked her way up in two spaces where deals are often made–on the golf course, and in the boardroom.

Billy Mayfair pauses. At 14, Mayfair was on the cover of Boys’ Life magazine next to a headline reading, HARD-HITTING JUNIOR GOLF CHAMP. The results confirmed what his wife, Tami, had long suspected, and what Billy had long denied: Mayfair has autism spectrum disorder. Mayfair’s autism spectrum disorder, also known as ASD, resembles Asperger’s syndrome: He functions at a high level but also faces some challenges. For example, he has asked officials to approach him only about slow play before a tee shot, not while he is walking down the fairway.

Somebody call Brad Pitt and Chris Pratt, because the Oakland A's simply cannot lose. in 10 innings, to run their win streak to 11 games in what was perhaps the wildest game of the young season. The Twins took a 12–10 lead in the top half of the inning thanks to a massive two-run homer by Byron Buxton. After Stephen Piscotty flied out to center field to lead off the inning, the ball never even left the infield—that is, until Arraez's errant throw on the game's final play. The offense has done a complete turnaround, while the pitching staff—despite today's 12-run shelling—has delivered as well, throwing four shutouts in the past six games.

Padres righthander Dinelson Lamet left his season debut Wednesday against the Brewers with right forearm tightness, the team announced following his departure. Lamet, 28, was making his season debut after spending the offseason recovering from a strained UCL in his right elbow. Lamet threw two innings and allowed one hit, no runs and one walk with four strikeouts on 29 pitches. He averaged 96.1 miles per hour on his fastball and topped out at 97.5 mph after averaging 97.0 mph last season. Lamet starred as a rookie in 2017, going 7-8 in 21 starts with a 4.57 ERA and 139 strikeouts in 114 1/3 innings.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tom Brady is recovering from offseason knee surgery and expects to be ready for June minicamp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. None of that is fun, but looking forward to getting back to real training and stuff, which is hopefully here pretty soon. Brady signed with Tampa Bay in free agency in March 2020 after 20 seasons with the New England Patriots. Arians has said the quarterback’s recovery is progressing well and there’s a chance Brady could be ready to participate in minicamp if the Bucs have one. “I try to teach the younger players it doesn’t matter going in and doing pullups, doing cross-fit games and scaling walls.

Jay Bruce retired Sunday after a 14-year career. Jay Bruce hits in front of catcher Brian McCann in the fourth inning of a game in 2019. Both left-handed hitters, Bruce and McCann saw their careers turn for the worse because of defensive shifts. Let’s imagine a Jay Bruce who didn’t have to deal with all of those shifts and compare those imaginary numbers to his actual career:Avg./OBP/SLG Best Comp Avg./OBP/SLG Real Jay Bruce .244/.314/.467 Dan Uggla .241/.336/.447 Unshifted Jay Bruce .254/.322/.480 Andre Dawson .279/.323/.482Maybe Bruce just declined quickly, the way some players do. That’s fewer than left-handed hitters such as Tino Martinez (53.6%), Rafael Palmeiro (53.5%), Robin Ventura (50.9%), Fred McGriff (50.5%) and Garrett Anderson (49.7%).

Mike Trout has been on fire for the Angels since Opening Day. Trout has been at the top of his game while becoming a dominant pull-side hitter.

Matt Kryger/IndyStarEagles head coach Nick Sirianni is gearing up for his first draft with Philadelphia, and he's been deploying some unusual tactics during the team's pre-draft interviews. Sirianni said Wednesday he likes to play rock-paper-scissors with various draft prospects during their Zoom interviews, noting the game is a tool to gauge a player's competitiveness. After back-to-back draft misses, a friendly game of rock-paper-scissors could be a valuable tool. If the Eagles struggle again in 2021, maybe Sirianni will pivot to Connect 4 or Tic-Tac-Toe before next year's draft. • Mock Draft 3.0: 49ers Pick Justin Fields; Tackles Go No.

Najee Harris, AlabamaKirby Lee/USA TODAY SportsThe success of Derrick Henry in the NFL can only increase the potential draft value of Harris. He compensated for this shortfall by upping his value in the passing game (48/588/2). A third-down back with breakaway speed and value in the passing game will be a target on draft day from many NFL teams. He finished with a minimal role in the passing game (48/486/3). His value in the passing game isn’t high enough to command a third-down role in the NFL.

Various intriguing storylines are developing around the 2021 NFL Draft, leading to sportsbooks increasing their market offerings on player proposition betting markets. In Sports Illustrated's latest mock draft, Jenny Vrentas predicts the first three draft picks of the 2021 NFL Draft will be quarterbacks. I believe a different market bettors should target at BetMGM sportsbook: “Which team will draft Trey Lance”? However, the betting odds have now flipped, with Ohio State's Justin Fields (-125) being the favorite to be tabbed by the 49ers.

Lakers power forward Anthony Davis says he will return from an achilles injury and a calf strain on Thursday against the Mavericks. Davis has missed the last 30 games and hasn't appeared in a game since Feb. 15. The Lakers big-man returned from tendonosis in his right Achilles tendon when he re-aggravated the injury against the Nuggets in Febraury. Davis has missed 35 games this season, but he is averaging 22.5 points and 8.4 rebounds in his 23 appearances. The Lakers will travel to Dallas to face the Mavericks on Thursday night.

Would be the biggest reach/most arrogant pick in NFL history … please give me hope that it isn’t. “I don’t think there’s any way in hell they’re taking Mac Jones,” said one exec. “But it really flourished when it had a big athlete with a big arm like John Elway running it.

Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter on Tuesday for his role in the death of George Floyd. Chauvin placed his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes and refused to take the pressure off despite Floyd calling out "I can't breathe" numerous times. The Raiders tweeted "I CAN BREATHE 4-20-21" shortly after Chauvin's conviction on Tuesday. Davis noted the post was paraphrasing a quote from Philonise Floyd, who said after Chauvin's conviction "today, we are able to breathe again." Floyd's death in May sparked protests throughout the nation in the fight against racial injustice and police brutality.

Former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields has informed teams that he is managing epilepsy, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelisserro. Fields, according to the report, takes medication for the diagnosis. According to the Epilepsy Foundation, epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder in the United States, affecting 3.4 million people. Fields is projected to be among the first quarterbacks selected in the 2021 NFL draft. The 2021 NFL draft will begin on April 29.

On Wednesday, Lakers star LeBron James posted and then deleted a tweet addressing the fatal police shooting of 16-year-old Black girl Ma'Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio. Reardon shouts several times to get down, then Bryant charges at another girl or woman pinned up against a car. James is from Akron, Ohio, which is about 125 miles northeast of Columbus. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, interim Columbus Police Chief Michael Woods called the incident a tragedy. Regardless of the circumstances associated with this, a 16-year-old lost her life yesterday...I sure as hell wish it wouldn’t have happened."

During an appearance on the "Rex Chapman Show," Warriors point guard Stephen Curry was asked if he should be named the MVP this year. The MVP award is typically earned by one of the best players in the NBA who's also on one of the best teams in the league. Although Curry is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world, his team may not even make the playoffs. The two-time MVP is currently leading the league in scoring at 31.4 points per game while averaging a league-best 5.2 three-pointers per game. If Curry, 34, were to win his third MVP award, he'd be the eighth player in NBA history to do so.

One month ahead of the start of the postseason, though, their team has taken a significant hit. Star guard Trae Young left Wednesday's game against the Knicks after landing awkwardly on his left leg while attempting a shot. The play occurred late in the third quarter, with Young immediately reaching for his left ankle and remaining on the ground in pain. After Young's exit, the Hawks announced he suffered a sprained left ankle and would not return. Young left the game with 20 points, 14 assists and four steals in 30 minutes, notching his 25th double-double of the season.

The Athletic reports that Rockets guard Sterling Brown "could have died" when he was assaulted in Miami on Sunday night. “If he hadn’t been as physically strong and tough, he might not have made it out of the situation (Sunday) night,” sources told The Athletic. News surfaced on Monday that Brown was jumped outside of a club in Miami on Sunday night and hit in the head with a bottle. However, according to a report from The Athletic that includes details of the night, the altercation was much more serious than the Rockets initially let on. Brown is averaging 8.2 points per game and 4.4 rebounds in his 51 games for Houston this season.

Nets' James Harden May Be Out Until PostseasonNets star guard James Harden experienced a "setback" in his hamstring rehabilitation earlier this week and is out indefinitely, according to a team statement. Harden experienced the setback on Monday during an "on-court rehab session," the statement continued, and underwent an MRI on Tuesday. Coach Steve Nash said Harden "didn't fall or stumble or anything out of the ordinary. I don’t know.”Harden has missed nine of the Nets' last 10 games due to a strained right hamstring. While Harden rehabs his hamstring injury, fellow Nets star Kevin Durant is rehabbing a thigh contusion that he sustained in Miami on Sunday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Wizards rookie Deni Avdija suffered a serious-looking injury to his lower right leg and was taken from the court in a wheelchair on Wednesday night. The injury is a season-ending hairline fracture in his right ankle, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. He lay on the floor for several minutes and teammate Jordan Bell came off the bench to cover his lower leg with a jersey. Wizards employees carefully helped Avdija into the wheelchair and he was taken off the court while rubbing his head with a towel. Washington selected the 20-year-old Avdija out of his native Israel with the ninth pick in last year’s draft.

The Hawks weren’t willing to deal Collins at the trade deadline and that could be mutually beneficial for years to come. Late last month, on the day of the trade deadline, John Collins woke up in a Bay Area hotel room with sunlight on his face. None of this overwhelmed Collins, but the deadline did aggravate natural strains felt before the season even began. Collins had conversations with Atlanta’s front office before free agency began and had a sense of who they might target. But overall the Hawks’ defense when Collins plays center plummets to the bottom five, according to Cleaning the Glass.

If your business isn't participating in the circular economy, you may want to spend part of Earth Day on Thursday asking yourself, "Why not?" While many companies follow a linear economy in which products are created, used, and thrown away, companies that participate in the circular economy continuously recycle and reuse their materials. For many businesses, getting existing customers to remain loyal to their brand could require switching to a circular model. Many business owners think participating in the circular economy means more expenses, but doing so can actually save businesses money by reusing materials, says Kate Daly, managing director of the Center for the Circular Economy at Closed Loop Partners, an investment firm in New York City. You should also consider publishing a public sustainability report, which the Berlin, Germany-based meal delivery company HelloFresh did with its 2020 sustainability report.

The bill, dubbed the PPP Flexibility for Farmers, Ranchers, and the Self-Employed Act, would allow sole proprietors, independent contractors, and the self-employed to retroactively apply for more money through the forgivable loan program. This proposed revision to the PPP follows the Biden administration's February 22nd request that the Small Business Administration change the formula these borrowers use to calculate their PPP loans. The bill would also allow some farmers and ranchers to use gross income rather than net income when applying for PPP. "Congress must pass this bill as quickly as possible so eligible small businesses have time to secure the aid they need before PPP closes on May 31." After relaunching on January 11, the PPP has guaranteed more than 4.73 million loans for more than $240 billion.

Maitland further partners with other local businesses to develop guest add-on packages that include socially-distanced excursions in and around the park. "We expect the lure of the national park to continue to play a major role in our success this year," says Rubin. "Local businesses are an integral part of the national park experience," says Pierno. To reduce the risk of infection from unvaccinated tourists, Yosemite National Park announced that as of May 1 day visitors will need reservations. "The health and safety of park visitors, employees and partners continues to be our number one priority," the park said in a statement, noting the area's limited health care capacity.

Thanks largely to hot companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat, fake burgers are cool--and ubiquitous. A new crop of startups is aiming to give plant-based fish the same treatment. Plant-based meat, a $1.4 billion category, grew by 45 percent in 2020--three times as fast as its animal-based counterpart. Meat giant Tyson Foods, through its subsidiary Tyson Ventures, is backing plant-based shrimp purveyor New Wave Foods. In 2019, Ocean Hugger launched a second fish alternative, unagi, which translates to "the spirit of eel," made from Japanese eggplants.

She'd founded her company, Houzz, in 2009 along with her husband, Alon Cohen. More than a decade later, stay-home orders and subsequent health-and-safety precautions forced Tatarko to work from home again. And in the process, Tatarko learned perhaps her biggest lesson from the pandemic: Never say never. Houzz saw 60 percent growth in homeowners looking for help from professionals during 2020. Houzz also saw a boost in outdoor-space renovations, and investments in using every inch of a property.

The European Union proposed rules that would restrict or ban some uses of artificial intelligence within its borders, including by tech giants based in the US and China. The proposed rules could help shape global norms and regulations around a promising but contentious technology. Leufer says the proposed rules are vague, but represent a significant step toward checking potentially harmful uses of the technology. But she says certain provisions would allow companies and government authorities to keep using AI in dubious ways. The EU regulations would require companies using AI for high-risk applications to provide risk assessments to regulators that demonstrate their safety.

Animal Crossing, like other games of its Nintendo Switch ilk, is meant to be grazed upon. It’s not allowed, really, and in some circles it’s downright controversial, but it’s a loophole that people absolutely take advantage of. You see, the issue isn’t so much whether time travel is cheating (it is) but rather the reasons people do it. And when you’re on a slow-moving quest that requires 10 relic ashes and can usually only find one per day, that’s devastating! Video games are a way to rest and relax; being stressed about my Cozy Grove island is antithetical to that entire aim.

All the fastening on the jacket is done using polyester straps. In theory, you could stuff the whole jacket into a chemical polyester recycling apparatus, which would melt it down and push out pure white polyester fiber. The question is whether that polyester recycling machine can be built at scale. While apparel and accessories made from recycled water bottles have proliferated, you won’t find a fashion product made from recycled polyester in any store. (Fruendorfer says for the 2022 commercial release, Adidas is looking into adding recycled zippers and snaps made from the same material as the jacket.)

But both used social media platforms like Facebook as jumping off points to connect with targets and launch social engineering attacks to guide them toward phishing pages and other malicious websites. In this campaign, the group primarily targeted the Palestinian territories and Syria, with some additional activity in Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, and Libya. The group used both off-the-shelf malware and its own Android spyware masquerading as a secure chat app to target victims. The attackers also used publicly available Android and Windows malware. The app didn't actually work, but came bundled with Windows malware.

“Basically I’m going to keep talking to you, but I’m going to disappear," longtime security researcher Katie Moussouris told me in a private Clubhouse room in February. All you needed was two iPhones that had Clubhouse installed and a Clubhouse account. To launch the attack, you would first log into your Clubhouse account on Phone A, and then join or start a room. Then you'd log into your Clubhouse account on Phone B—which would automatically log you out on Phone A—and join the same room. In the screen on the right, Moussouris was gone, but her Clubhouse ghost remained.

Apple’s AirTags have found their way to market. The long-rumored competitor to Tile—a tiny Bluetooth tag you attach to frequently lost items—was unveiled today during Apple’s spring hardware announcement. This scenario was somewhat possible before the launch of AirTags, using only Bluetooth. But Apple is touting the precision of AirTags, which use a special chip to aid in location, and has also said that AirTags will support visual and audible cues. While the company didn’t explicitly say AirTags will be used in AR apps, immersive computing experts point out that the AirTags technology is using ARKit, Apple’s software framework for AR, and that tying digital information to nearby physical objects is an important step in the evolution of this tech.

An enthusiast may want to set up a full 5.1 system, but others in the household may not be so accepting. It's tough to find a full speaker setup that cheap unless you buy used. (There are also compelling in-between options, like the Enclave Cinehome II wireless 5.1 system.) If you can make a full speaker system work, I highly, highly recommend you go for it. But if it sounds like too much of a headache, those high-end soundbars sound pretty great—you're just paying a bit extra for the simplicity.

And that's how she arrived at what she's dubbed "island Gothic" for her next thriller, Reckless Girls. EW called up Hawkins to talk about her vibrant new cover, just how she coined the notion of "island Gothic," and why even a murder island seemed like a great getaway after the last year of the pandemic. Reckless Girls by Rachel HawkinsENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So The Wife Upstairs was inspired by Jane Eyre, is this new thriller inspired by any particular text? It's being billed as "island Gothic," which I don't believe is a term I've ever heard before but I love it. I had said that I definitely wanted something that invoked the tropical theme.

A video circulating on Tuesday showed a researcher demonstrating a tool named Facebook Email Search v1.0, which he said could link Facebook accounts to as many as 5 million email addresses per day. Here's the written transcript of the video:So, what I would like to demonstrate here is an active vulnerability within Facebook, which allows malicious users to query email addresses within Facebook, and have Facebook return any matching users. Currently it's being used to compromise Facebook accounts for the purpose of taking over Pages groups and, uh, Facebook advertising accounts for obviously monetary gain. What I've done here is I've taken 250 Facebook accounts, newly registered Facebook accounts, which I've purchased online for about $10. I have queried or I'm querying 65,000 email addresses.

In Kadir van Lohuizen’s forthcoming photo book, After Us the Deluge: The Human Consequences of Rising Sea Levels, the climate crisis is fundamentally a water crisis. With the melting ice caps in Greenland as the catalyst for rising waters, the aftermath of their destruction, coupled with the complacency of governments, is leaving people in unlivable circumstances. People in nations including Panama, Bangladesh, and Kiribati are witnessing the sea come up to their homes during high tides. Sections on the effects rising waters are having on six regions are authored by a mix of local politicians, scientists, activists, and journalists familiar with their countries’ impending fates. While the aerial shots show the relationship between rising waters and coastal cities, others show the attempts by residents to leave those places.

For decades, the Golden Globes have, judging by industry pushback, maintained anything but a golden profile. Below, EW chronicles several past controversies that have plagued the HFPA over the years, from Pia Zadora's questionable acting victory to 60-year-old allegations that publicity firms schmoozed their way into the Golden Globes' winners circle.

You get used to hearing some of the voices and you're like, "Okay, okay, the next song I got this, I got this."

In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Exotic (who goes by Joseph Maldonado-Passage), said: "It's time for Carole and Howard to put up or shut the hell up because I'm accepting their offer."

Teen Mom type TV ShowWell, it wouldn't be a Teen Mom OG reunion if Amber Portwood didn't storm off in a huff.

Before walking off during the reunion, Portwood unleashed on her ex's spouse.

But here we are, dealing with the insanity that is Masked Singer season 5 and debating the identity of this earnest pig as he dances around the stage like no one’s watching, bless! Fans of this show (yes, we exist) are pretty positive the Piglet is Nick Lachey based on a massive pile of clues and evidence. All we know for sure is that this little piglet went “wee, wee, wee” all the way to The Masked Singer and someone needs to set him free! The Piglet apparently made his debut on the Masked Singer stage with only four days’ notice! The Piglet sang “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah)” by Andy Grammer and had the crowd screaming:This content is imported from YouTube.

Lopez appeared in a white top and matching denim, channeling bridal vibes on the set of her movie Shotgun Wedding. She's laughing in the pic, suggesting that all the breakup commentary doesn't faze her—or at least, she doesn't want you to think it does.

last night, and fans asked about how her friend Kim Kardashian is doing in the wake of her and Kanye West’s respective divorce filings. While Chrissy didn’t go into too many details, she did say, “Kim is doing okay. If anyone knows Kanye, it’s that he goes off the grid and it’s hard to ever contact Kanye.”This content is imported from YouTube. As a reminder, Kim filed for divorce on February 19, with multiple outlets reporting that she and Kanye plan to split legal and physical custody of their four children. Kanye responded to Kim’s filing in April, and per Us Weekly, he—like his ex—cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.

ICYMI, Prince Harry is back in California following his trip to England for the funeral of his grandfather Prince Philip. The duke flew by himself due to Meghan Markle being advised not to travel by her physician, but the duchess has reportedly expressed her sympathies to and been in touch with the Queen. “Meghan spoke with Harry before his grandfather’s funeral,” a source tells People. “Meghan and Archie also spoke with the Queen earlier this week.”Prior to Harry’s return home, a source also told the outlet that “Meghan and Harry have been in touch every day. She doesn’t need to be there for that.”So happy to know that Meghan and the Queen have remained close through all this!

And as the Grishaverse is made up of two different series, tons of action awaits you. And if there's ever a moment you'll need to dive into a new world, it's right about now.

I went to bed the night the verdict was announced with a surprised, relieved, and tentatively hopeful feeling of momentary peace. She was killed moments before the Derek Chauvin verdict was announced. This is why it is impossible for the guilty verdict of the Derek Chauvin trial to be heralded as something it’s not. To truly understand racial trauma, however, is to recognise the way these structural forces impact the individual; how the political is personal. When it isn’t, small wins like Derek Chauvin’s conviction don’t feel like a cause for celebration, they render us numb.

In a teaser clip for an upcoming episode Kim enlists Addison to teach her a TikTok dance and reveals that she actually finds the whole thing just a little intimidating. Now that the Kardashians have stopped questioning Addison about her relationship with Kourtney, it seems like they've welcomed her into the fold with open arms, and in the latest episode of KUWTK Addison even gives Kim a little dance lesson. Right after trying to do the splits together, Kim tells the confessional, "So, I'm freaking out a little bit because today, Addison is going to teach me a TikTok dance," she explains. So I'm going to take the time to practice and see what I can do." Eventually Kim tells the confessional, "Oh my god, I have eyes.

Well, let’s all spare a moment for Sofia Richie, who yesterday experienced a close call with Amelia Hamlin, Scott Disick's new girlfriend. ICYMI Sofia dated Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Scott Disick for more than three years, eventually splitting in August last year. Not too long after their break up, rumours started swirling in celeb land that Scott was dating Sofia’s pal Amelia Hamlin, daughter of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Lisa Rinna. News at the time that they ran “in the same circles” and that things were “awkward.” Sofia also unfollowed Amelia on Instagram after she confirmed her romance with Scott. Just a few moments later, Amelia Hamlin was spotted arriving at the very same gym.

And if the new guy has better pipes, then one of the OG contestants has to bid adieu to their dreams of being a Masked Singer champion. The CluesPlease take a hot sec to review the official clue video from episode 4:This content is imported from YouTube. He also initially guessed Jay-Z after hearing the “king crab” clue (um, no way, my man), while Nicole Scherzinger guessed Kanye West (and again, nope). Apparently, performing on Masked Singer reminds the Crab of…his childhood?! And let’s not forget Bobby’s 2012 album Masterpiece, which could possibly explain the Mona Lisa inclusion, and his 1986 album King of Stage, which could explain the “king crab” clue.

Meet Black Swan, who’s been prancing her way around The Masked Singer season 5 for several weeks with no end in sight. Here’s what stands out to me:The Black Swan calls herself “incredibly rare” while strutting rather delicately through a snowy forest. The PerformancesThe Black Swan moved in ways I didn’t even know were POSSIBLE during her rendition of “Barracuda,” by Heart. ), the Icelandic singer wore a truly iconic swan dress to the Academy Awards in 2001, so fans think she could be the Black Swan.

Chris Christie is seriously considering running for president in 2024, three people familiar with his thinking tell Axios. Christie could run on a reputation for toughness that appeals to Trump's base minus the former president's recklessness, said one source. Another said he has a mix of combativeness and charisma that Republicans are looking for to take on President Biden and Democrats. On a recent "This Week" appearance, Christie accused Biden of "lying" in his descriptions of infrastructure. The bottom line: Christie has told associates that Trump's decision about running again in 2024 won't affect his own decision-making.

Disgraced Def Jam founder Russell Simmons calling in. Photo: Verzuz/TrillerThe 4/20 Verzuz between Method Man and Redman had everything you’d expect. Then, there was the unexpected: A FaceTime call from Russell Simmons in the middle of the showdown. After the pair reminisced on their Def Jam days, they got a FaceTime call from founder Russell Simmons, who appeared to be in pajamas and in bed. Method Man and Redman did acknowledge the day’s guilty verdict for Derek Chauvin, the police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, an unarmed Black man.

According to Richard S. He’s Vulture ranking of every Gaga song, this track is “a tad less vital than ARTPOP’s best.” I agree. “Applause” was the green light into ARTPOP, and an archetype of this junction in Lady Gaga’s career. (But let’s not forget Lady Gaga’s 2013 MTV VMAs performance — who else could slay five lewks in one night, on top of coordinating multiple choreos and wigs?) In the end, Lady Gaga’s “Gypsy” recognizes the freedom that comes with being on your own. It’s an all-around manifestation of the fun and forward-thinking that ARTPOP bestowed on pop music and its ever-changing audience.

Robin Rose Hilleary’s reference manual: The late-Italian designer Bruno Munari’s 1973 book, A Flower With Love. I think it might have been our mutual friend Cynthia Leung who got her into this particular book. This particular arrangement (along with many others throughout the book) feels so powerful because it’s made from non-luxury flowers. This arrangement makes a bootleg pin frog out of a halved potato — turned upside down so it looks like a rock. Its simplicity makes me think, Oh, it’s so cute, but it’s not a flower arrangement, and that’s really the point of the whole book.

The Nanit smart monitor received the most recommendations of any monitor we heard about, with five of our experts telling us it’s a favorite. It’s an over-the-crib Wi-Fi camera that not only offers standard video-monitoring capabilities, but also provides data, including sleep metrics, via its app. Nanit then synthesizes this data to generate nightly sleep reports and sleep scores, even providing tips on how to help your baby sleep better. Still, Nevares reminds us that any monitor — even one as advanced as the Nanit — won’t be 100 percent accurate. “It oftentimes will say the baby’s awake when the baby’s not awake, but just kind of rolling around in their sleep,” she says.

If you’re excited to see the new Mortal Kombat movie, which hits theaters and HBO Max on April 23, you’re also probably walking in with some familiar expectations. The Mortal Kombat album is credited to The Immortals, but that name is just one of many musical projects the pair were involved in. Of those two, “Hypnotic House (Mortal Kombat)” came first. “Techno Syndrome” has transcended Mortal Kombat, though, even as it gets its power from that unmistakable shout of the tournament’s name. For something that only took four weeks to make, though, the music of Mortal Kombat remains an outsize part of their legacy.

Skinnygirl founder, former Queen of RHONY, and self-described “serial entrepreneur” Bethenny Frankel is looking for a vice-president of operations, and where else to fill out an executive suite than on reality TV? In The Big Shot With Bethenny, coming to HBO Max on April 29, Frankel tasks “aspiring moguls” with a series of challenges designed to test their business acumen to see if they have what it takes to be her second-in-command. “I’m a mother, a philanthropist, and a bit of a clown,” Frankel says in the show’s trailer. Will Frankel’s beloved one-liners play as well when she’s essentially giving a job interview? Well, if you can’t handle the truth, you can’t handle Bethenny.

But they really don’t. And quite frankly, if it had ended up on another streamer, I don’t think that would have happened. Netflix has more dollars than Shudder; I don’t think that’s a surprise to anyone. Some of our earliest Shudder exclusive releases were really exciting films by Mattie Do, who’s Laotian American, and Alice Lowe with Prevenge. That’s how broad this genre can be, and that’s how broad we think Shudder could be.

Hugh Jackman. And that starts with “T” and that rhymes with “P” and that stands for “producer Scott Rudin.” Hugh Jackman has finally spoken out about the allegations of workplace abuse surrounding Broadway producer Scott Rudin, after Rudin announced he would take a “step back from active participation” in their upcoming production of The Music Man. This has started a conversation that is long overdue, not just on Broadway, and the entertainment industry, but across all workforce.

Following its record-breaking success in Japan, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train is preparing to make its Stateside debut. Photo: Aniplex AmericaNo matter what Christopher Nolan may have wanted you to believe, the movie that saved the box office last year wasn’t Tenet but an anime film titled Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train. This means that if you’re planning to catch Mugen Train when it hits U.S. theaters this weekend, you probably do need to catch up on Demon Slayer first. Before it was a film or anime, Demon Slayer was a manga, created by Koyoharu Gotouge and released in 2016. THAT Demon Slayer Episode 19 thoooo ??? pic.twitter.com/SVshtSRNf7 — JustTin (@JustinGarz265) August 10, 2019So where does the movie fit into things?

For every line intended to clarify how it all works, Shadow and Bone seems to accidentally do the opposite. The introduction of the Six of Crows characters takes Shadow and Bone’s triangular character structure and turns it into a many-sided die. Eventually, when all, or at least most, of the characters come together in various formations late in the series, Shadow and Bone’s design does make some sense. (Many fantasy stories on shaky ground can squeeze a lot of juice out of a mythical stag, and Shadow and Bone is no exception.) Still, Shadow and Bone does mostly manage to pull it all together in the end, and the mythical stag is very shiny and nice-looking.

Reading Rainbow and Star Trek legend LeVar Burton is among the final slate of guest hosts for Jeopardy!, following Burton’s heavy campaigning for the gig over the past few months. confirmed today that joining Burton will be anchor-commentator George Stephanopoulos, broadcaster Robin Roberts, journalist David Faber, and sportscaster Joe Buck, whose slate of episodes will conclude the show’s 37th season. These five hosts will be behind the lectern for an entire week of episodes (or five episodes) each, and as with all previous guest hosts, the show will compensate them by making a donation to their charity of choice. I am overjoyed, excited, and eager to be guest-hosting Jeopardy!, and will do my utmost best to live up to your faith you in me,” Burton tweeted when the news became public. Go ahead and take my word for it, this time.” Troy Barnes must really be thrilled.

Lena Waithe in Master of None. Bailey/NetflixAfter a four-year-long hiatus, Master of None is returning to Netflix for its third season this May. Created by Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang, Master of None premiered in 2015 and had a second season in 2017. This season is expected to follow Lena Waithe’s character, Denise, who was the subject of the show’s Emmy-winning episode “Thanksgiving.” Ansari and Yang also won an Emmy for writing the first season. Master of None joins Netflix’s growing May 2021 lineup, alongside The Woman in the Window and The Kominsky Method season three.

Desperate to change the subject, Nicky tells Henry that she’ll talk to him later and leaves with Evan to hear his latest update about Zhilan. After meeting Faye, Nicky heads to the University of California, Berkeley, to meet with Henry, who has scheduled a meeting with Chau’s teaching assistant. At the VIP party, Nicky meets Eddie, the well-intentioned but ill-informed young man who eventually pawns her off to his COO, Brett Slakter, whom he calls “Brometheus.” (Yikes.) When Nicky brings up Faye, Brett assures her that he’s been a huge ally and that he’s been helping to fast-track the unionization process. Henry tells her that they have found the “turducken of puzzles,” as he managed to solve the large puzzle, only to be met with a smaller one.

Sony and Disney have finally negotiated a deal to bring Spider-Man and other Sony properties to Disney+. According to Variety, the deal not only covers Disney+ but a host of other Disney platforms like Hulu, Freeform, FX Networks, ABC, and Disney Channels. Sony’s 2022-2026 theatrical releases will first appear on Netflix (who also brokered a deal with Sony today), then over to Disney. In 2019, the Tom Holland-helmed Spider-Man series seemed in danger of going under due to snags in negotiations between Sony and Disney. And now that this deal is in place, Spider-Man: No Way Home will (somewhat ironically) find a home one day on Disney+.

For the uninitiated, Floor Is Lava is a high-stakes game show version of the classic children’s game of the same name. According to Netflix, Floor Is Lava pulled 37 million Netflix member households during its first 4 weeks on the service. If the puzzles in season 2 are as easy to solve as that fake production title, we’re in trouble.

Hulu released a trailer for MARVEL’S M.O.D.O.K., the new Marvel series debuting May 21. Patton Oswalt stars as the big headed creep himself, whose life is going down the tubes. squares up against Iron Man (Jon Hamm) professionally, as well as Wonder Man (Nathan Fillion) personally. In a move reminiscent of Fillion’s performance as jerkass superhero Captain Hammer, Wonder Man is dating M.O.D.O.K.’s ex-wife. Other voices are provided by Brooklyn 99’s Melissa Fumero, Ben Schwartz, Wendi McClevon-Covey, Beck Bennett, Jon Daly, and Detroiters’ Sam Richardson.

But apparently, Bobby Brown did not know that he was claustrophobic until he was performing as the Crab on season 5 of The Masked Singer. While signing “Give It to Me Baby” by Rick James, the Crab briefly ran off stage due to a panic attack. “I wear light clothes when I’m performing normally, and this had so many layers that it constricted me from moving like I do,” Brown said. Guest judge Rita Wilson rapped a chunk of Naughty By Nature’s “Hip Hop Hooray” because…she could?

The biggest event is that the women go to Norwalk, Connecticut (not a short drive from northern Jersey), to visit the yacht of fellow Real Housewives ghostwriter and my archnemesis Emily Leibert. She has ghostwritten memoirs for Real Housewives and owns a yacht in my home state of Connecticut. Jennifer is being real and Margaret, she’s just chasing clout. More importantly, as Jennifer quickly points out, she was actually trying to apologize to Margaret before she cut her off. We see Jennifer talk to Gabriella about the fight that her parents got into and how her mother wasn’t able to choose her own life.

Deadline broke the news that The Giver writer Michael Mitnik has been tapped by Disney and The Henson company to pen a biopic about too-good-for-this-sinful-earth Muppet creator Jim Henson. Jim Henson began creating Muppets in the 50’s—first as characters in commercials, but eventually in their own specials and a syndicated variety show. Eventually, Henson convinced Lord Lew Grade to make a show with the Muppets in London. After success with The Muppet Show, Henson moved on to various TV and movie efforts with varying levels of success. Disney has owned the rights to the Muppets since 2004, and most recently gave them a Disney+ series, Muppets Now.

Jimmy Kimmel has been avidly following MyPillow creator Mike Lindell’s descent into madness. The latest manifestation of which was a 48-hour livestream launch for his “free speech network,” Frank. The clips are pure insanity, moreso than a 48-hour livestream merits. On Wednesday night, Kimmel’s video team pulled a supercut of Lindell trying to pronounce the name “Ursula” for a full minute. On Tuesday night, Kimmel offered to have Mike Lindell on his show.

James Cameron came by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to talk about some of his favorite things: Da Ocean and Da Movies. Cameron took his Zoom interview in his Wellington, NZ editing suite, and viewers could see some cool Avatar shit in the background. Cameron said that the next Avatar film will be much more oceanic than the last. “A lot of our scenes are in the ocean, so I’m combining things that I love,” the director told Fallon. “Making Avatar and going into the ocean, I love all that stuff.”Another thing James Cameron loves?

Parker was looking to decorate her new apartment, she wanted to buy the film poster for the 1943 movie Cabin in the Sky. Something esoteric enough to quench my film-nerd thirst and highlight an underappreciated Black film from the past. BRITTANY: I don’t think so. Just embraced it and hung that admittedly racist poster on my wall? I went for a safer choice: a reissue poster for the 1978 Black independent film Killer of Sheep.

Photo: Charley Gallay/Getty Images for DisneyAs if the details of his relationship weren’t already hideously sweet, we now know that Riz Ahmed — gorgeous, multitalented, Oscar-nominated Riz Ahmed — proposed to his wife using Scrabble tiles. I’ll back up for a moment, because a Scrabble-tile proposal isn’t an isolated incident when it comes to this man and his antics. As Ahmed explained to Jimmy Fallon, the meeting took place in a coffee shop. It was there that he and his now-wife connected while “jostling over the same laptop plug points” — a power struggle that only leads to stress and sweat for most people. And now comes this proposal via Scrabble tiles, something that should only really happen in rom-coms and Anna Karenina.

A Decrim NY protest in support of sex workers’ rights. “For years, rather than seeking criminal convictions, my Office has reformed its practice to offer services to individuals arrested for prostitution,” Vance said. Declining to prosecute does not decriminalize consensual sex work as a whole. The DA will continue to prosecute sex trafficking and, notably, it will not stop pursuing charges against people for visiting sex workers. Swenstein hopes that the decision to drop prosecutions here will “have reverberations for sex workers and trafficking survivors well outside of New York City in feeling less stigmatized.”Stay in touch.

Photo: Gray SorrentiWhether you’re a devoted follower of fashion trends or a determined individualist who steers clear of them at all costs, we can probably all agree on one objective fact: Those Loewe sunglasses are really good. They debuted over a year ago in a tropical capsule called Paula’s Ibizia — an ode to summer in the city. The Paula sunglasses are oblong, with a geometric frame and ovular lenses. For 2021, Loewe’s Paula’s Ibiza introduced two new styles for the masses to gobble up. One is similar to the OG, with a more ovular frame to match the shape of the lens; the other is a riff on the classic rectangular aviator.

Left to right: Michael Kors, Michael Kors, and Burberry. Photo: Courtesy of Michael Kors, BurberryWhen I began covering fashion in 1986, for the Detroit News, Michael Kors had been showing his collections for only a few years. Indeed, by the early ’90s, and for a variety of reasons, Kors’s business was in trouble, and he sought bankruptcy protection. That meant a sleek pair of trousers and a matching shirt with a long white cashmere coat, or a shimmery silver minidress with a white tuxedo jacket tossed over the shoulders. Many of his women’s coats had extraneous flaps, straps, and wide cape backs, which seemed less armorlike than just plain bulky.

House Democrats are still tinkering with a comprehensive reform bill with the understanding that they can only afford to lose a handful of votes. Her precise ruling was that while the $15 wage would have significant impact on federal revenues and spending (a Byrd Rule requirement), such impact was “incidental” to its basic purpose (a Byrd Rule prohibition). But as was the case with the $15 minimum wage, the Byrd Rule is just part of the problem. Is Joe Manchin on board with the idea of enacting a reform bill over the angry objections of Republicans? Yes, he supports comprehensive reform, as Forbes noted recently:Manchin has repeatedly pointed to a 2013 immigration bill adding 40,000 border patrol agents and creating a pathway to citizenship for many undocumented immigrants as the ideal version of an immigration bill.

Republican legislatures are enacting a national crackdown on even the most ancillary participation in violent protest, including attacks on property. Violent protest tends to politically backfire, not to mention the fact that chaotic, lawless conditions tend to be especially harmful to low-income people. Passing police reform through the Senate already puts Black Americans at a staggering disadvantage. It is a system that dilutes Black voting power and gives white people a disproportionate say in the outcome. If Romney wants Black people to value the system, he should care about making the system less undemocratic.

But thanks to Jin Soon, flowers keep dancing on my fingers. I really enjoy the whimsy of this new top coat, created by celebrity manicurist Jin Soon Choi, which contains little bits of floral “confetti” suspended in a clear polish. Although it’s technically meant to go over other nail polish, acting like a garnish of sorts, I like it on my bare nails. Looking at my nails, it offers the sort of gleeful feeling of dumping rainbow-star confetti over a freshly iced cake. Also, unlike regular nail polish, this fancy top coat lasts a really long time, and chips aren’t noticeable.

A registered nurse draws blood to test for COVID-19 antibodies, at Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. Photo: Angela Weiss/AFP via Getty ImagesA year ago, New York City became the COVID-19 epicenter of the world. According to new research by city health officials, nearly a quarter of adult New Yorkers were infected during last spring’s catastrophic wave. “Given disparities in infection risk, effective interventions for at-risk groups are needed during ongoing transmission,” the study’s authors concluded. More than 32,000 New Yorkers have died from COVID-19, according to a Times database, and more than 900,000 infections have been reported.

On April 20, a Columbus police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant. The victim’s mother, Paula Bryant, and the Franklin County Children Services have identified the girl, who was in foster care, as Ma’Khia Bryant. She promoted peace.”Hours after the fatal shooting, Black Lives Matter protesters began to gather about half a block from the scene to mourn Ma’Khia. There, council president Shannon Hardin announced that the city had lost another Black person to police violence. But the truth is that nothing that we will do will bring this young baby girl back.

So it’s not a bad idea to ask what we know about likely 2022 turnout levels and patterns as we enter that cycle. Turnout will be down from 2020, but probably still higher than usualAs Roll Call’s Nathan Gonzales observes, the last time midterm turnout exceeded that of the previous presidential contest was 1838. Since 2020 turnout was the highest in any national election since 1900, the midterm precedent won’t be shattered in 2022. The more pertinent question is whether 2022 turnout will reach that of 2018 (the highest since 1914) or more greatly resemble 2014 (the lowest since 1942). If that happens next year, it would put 2022 turnout back to the record midterm of 2018 at 50 percent.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland speaks about the Chauvin verdict at the Department of Justice on April 21, 2021. “It will include a comprehensive review of the Minneapolis Police Department’s policies, training, supervision and use-of-force investigations. The attorney general said the probe will be led by members from the Justice Department’s civil-rights division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the district of Minnesota. Garland said that a public report with the Justice Department’s conclusions will be released if a systemic pattern of misconduct is found. He also indicated that the department could file a civil suit in federal court to order the Minneapolis Police Department to change its practices.

The Arnaldo Pugliese Ciaccio Hospital in Catanzaro, Italy. But a new case involving one work-from-home innovator in the southern city of Catanzaro has taken the practice to new heights. Dubbed the “king of absentees” by the Italian press, a public-sector worker at the Arnaldo Pugliese Ciaccio Hospital has been accused of skipping work since 2005. According to the police, the staffer was paid a monthly salary, which over the years amounted to €538,000 (almost $650,000), although he hasn’t stepped foot in the Pugliese Ciaccio hospital in over 15 years. While the hospital staffer may own the one-man no-show record, a small town outside of Naples may have him beat as a team.

Photo: Allen J. Schaben/Los Angeles Times via Getty ImagesW.W. Norton & Company has paused the distribution of a best-selling Philip Roth biography after several women accused its author, Blake Bailey, of grooming them as middle-school students and then pursuing sexual relationships with them in their early adulthood. “These allegations are serious,” the publisher said in a statement. “In light of them, we have decided to pause the shipping and promotion of ‘Philip Roth: The Biography’ pending any further information that may emerge.” Bailey’s literary agency, The Story Factory, has also dropped the author. Others allege that he frequently inquired about the status of their virginity after they left Lusher. Some critics felt that Bailey was too sympathetic toward Roth’s portrayal of women in his books and treatment of women in real life.

Shortly after arriving at the Minnesota Correctional Facility–Oak Park Heights at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, he was placed in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. The restricted housing wing in which Chauvin is held is called the Administrative Control Unit, where prisoners are only allowed one hour per day outside their cells for exercise. According to the New York Times, the court set June 16 as the date for Chauvin’s sentencing. State law dictates that second-degree murder carries a max sentence of 40 years in prison; third-degree murder carries a 25-year max; and second-degree manslaughter carries a 10-year max. The minimum amount of time Chauvin is facing is 12 years, for the second-degree murder charge.

President Joe Biden campaigned on a promise to revive pattern-or-practice investigations – as well as subsequent reform agreements – after the Trump administration suspended the program in 2017. Many police accountability experts say the reform agreements – both consent decrees and settlement agreements – are the most effective way to achieve long-term police reform. “Consent decrees and settlement agreements really offer systemic reforms for entire police departments. Reform agreements have long-term staying power, according to Walker, and there’s no better example of that than the past four years. Had the department undertaken these steps, as the settlement agreement required them to do, they might have been covered.”

“cancel culture”) one of their party’s defining causes, GOP legislators in 34 states have introduced 81 anti-protest bills since the beginning of this year. Yet it would be a mistake (or at least, imprecise) to regard the GOP’s simultaneous opposition to “cancel culture” and support for criminalizing dissent as hypocritical. ”It’s plain then that the GOP’s opposition to “cancel culture” is not rooted in support for open debate untrammeled by economic coercion. For these reasons, corporate speech is increasingly hostile to the conservative worldview. But as liberals gain disproportionate influence in corporate boardrooms, and Republicans entrench disproportionate power over the government, the GOP is losing its old-time religion.

Weezer have released the metal-inspired single “I Need Some of That,” off their upcoming album Van Weezer. Van Weezer arrives on May 7th on Crush Music/Atlantic Records. The album was originally slated to be released last year, but was postponed due to Covid-19. Van Weezer is produced by engineer Suzy Shinn. “I engineered for Jake [Sinclair] on [2016’s] White Album, and then I engineered on [2017’s] Pacific Daydream and vocal-produced [2019’s] Teal Album,” Shinn told Rolling Stone last month.

Excavate!, a collection of essays inspired by the music and world of the Fall and Mark E. Smith, is set to be published in the U.S. for the first time on June 22nd via Faber Books. The book, previously available overseas, features contributions from a variety of writers, as well as a collection of previously unreleased artwork, rare ephemera, and handwritten material. The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall as a book that’s not so much about the Fall as a band, but the world Smith — who died in 2018 at 60 from the effects of lung and kidney cancer — built. That world includes not only music but an eclectic mix of interests that run the gamut from Medieval scholar M.R. Back in February, the Fall released a new live album, The Fall — Live at St. Helens Technical College, ’81, which features a mix of tracks from 1979’s Dragnet, 1980’s Grotesque (After the Gramme), and 1981’s Slates EP.

British rapper Little Simz has released a new song and video, “Introvert,” from her upcoming album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, set to arrive September 3rd via Age 101.

Sometimes I Might Be Introvert follows Little Simz’s 2019 album, Grey Area. Simz produced the album with her regular collaborator Inflo, and it will feature guest appearances from Cleo Sol, Obongjayar, and even The Crown star Emma Corrin. Simz also recently starred in the second season of Netflix’s Top Boy and will be reprising her role in the third season, which is filming now.

The New Jersey Devils and virtual reality training company Sense Arena have signed a deal that will bring the team’s new official cognitive training tool to both Devils pros and youth hockey players. Sense Arena offers evaluation and training modules designed to improve both skaters’ and goalies’ decision-making abilities and reaction times without having to step onto the ice. Users wearing a VR headset are put onto the virtual ice, where they can react to simulated plays and attempt to stop realistic shots. Sense Arena, which launched its first tool for PC-powered VR headsets in 2019, reached new consumers last year after releasing its goalie tool for the standalone Oculus Quest. Tetiva said Sense Arena is thinking about when to expand into other sports as well.

To offer you some variety, we picked out seven of the most comfortable gaming chairs for a range of budgets. Not only does Luxton’s ergonomic gaming chair promote good posture, it has memory foam for maximum comfort. Leather and mesh aren’t your only fabric options for gaming chairs.

“It’s weird to be perceived as hopeless in the moment when I’m actually incredibly hopeful,” says Matt (Ed Helms) to Anna (Patti Harrison), the surrogate carrying his baby. That he will then raise this kid as a single father is part of the film’s very slight gender-expectation-defying agenda. condescending, though that might have more to do with him registering as baffled, benign and a flat zero on the sexual-threat scale. “This show is so dumb” murmurs Anna as she and Matt watch their umpteenth episode of Matt’s favorite sitcom, Friends. And she’s absolutely right, about that show and this movie — call it The One Where Anna and Matt Have a Baby.

And now, the house where a grown-up Daniel lives with his wife and children on the series is up for sale! Despite the ad nauseam mentions of “the Valley,” “Encino” and “Reseda,” little of the series is actually shot there. The vast majority of filming instead takes place in the ATL, which does a fairly adequate job of standing in for Los Angeles. And Daniel’s Spanish-style property plays at the center of it all. As it turns out, Hollywood has actually descended upon the picturesque pad twice!

Elang Mahkota Teknologi, better known as Emtek, is betting heavily on the growth of Indonesia’s digital economy, notably streaming service Vidio, which got a boost under last year’s COVID conditions. President director Alvin Sariaatmadja explains that Emtek got to know the Korean social media giant through Naver’s Webtoon business. More recently Naver has announced the $600 million acquisition of digital story firm Wattpad, with which Vidio is already partnered. Away from media, Emtek is keen to build up its medical businesses (it operates nearly 1,000 hospital beds) and help others digitize healthcare management. In China, expansion of online payments was the trigger for hyper-expansion of digital streaming.

“So my first ever introduction to cinema or a character was that,” Ramirez says. “And everyone started laughing at the theater because they had just found out that I’d be doing a Tom Cruise movie. First up he can be seen in “Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” the Disney+ Marvel series, with the “Top Gun” sequel set for release at long last later this year. Ramirez was born in Chicago and raised in Miami by his mother, who immigrated from Mexico. “That was the first time I saw an actor of color being the lead of something,” Ramirez says of Ahmed.

Sony Pictures and Disney have inked a massive licensing deal for Sony’s 2022-2026 release slate, as The Hollywood Reporter reports. With the new pact, Sony’s upcoming theatrical releases along with an array of its library titles — which include Spider-Man alongside other Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise titles, and Hotel Transylvania and the Jumanji franchises, among other films — will head to Disney-owned streaming services Disney+ and Hulu as well as its TV platforms. The library titles will first stream on Netflix per the streaming giant’s deal with Sony. Once that expires, Sony’s titles will be available to Disney streaming platforms and TV networks, which include ABC, Disney Channels, Freeform and National Geographic. Morbius, Uncharted, Bullet Train and the sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse are among Sony’s upcoming 2022 release slate.

John Waters has released Prayer to Pasolini in conjunction with his 75th birthday on April 22nd. A tribute to controversial Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini, Waters’ audio set is currently available in digital format. Waters recorded the single with producer Ian Brennan during the pandemic. They recorded it in a fenced-off park near Rome’s airport by a monument, which marks the area where Pasolini was brutally maimed and murdered in 1975. In addition to the single, the digital Prayer to Pasolini includes Waters discussing Pasolini’s work as well as a track where he is speaking in tongues.

In the new Peacock sitcom Rutherford Falls, Ed Helms and Jana Schmieding play best friends Nathan and Reagan, who grew up together in the titular northeast town named for his ancestor who famously brokered peace with her ancestors in the (fictional) Minishonka Nation. “Oh, to lead that white dude life!”Nathan and Reagan’s contrasting experiences are meant to be the comic engine that drives Rutherford Falls, as well as a symbol for all the ways the town’s white and indigenous populations do and don’t get along. Rutherford Falls finds more comic specificity when it focuses on Reagan, Terry, or life in general in the Minishonka community. And Reagan is treated as Nathan’s narrative equal, even though Jana Schmieding isn’t nearly as famous as Ed Helms. The full first season of Rutherford Falls premieres April 22th on Peacock.

Bartees Strange has shared a cover of Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love,” recorded for SiriusXMU Sessions. Recorded in his basement on vocals and electric guitar, the sparse cover stays pretty true to the original, with Bartees’ vocals lending a new level of emotion to the track. He added on Instagram, “I just fucking love Justin Vernon so when they said I could do this one I was like hell yeah. I always try to do cool arrangements of things but this one is just so good on its own. “The work he did this year — the Taylor [Swift] records, Big Red Machine stuff, the National stuff…As a producer and a person who makes stuff, it’s so wildly inspiring to see someone work like that.”

Ezra Furman came out on Wednesday as a transgender woman and has been a mother for over two years. “About being a trans woman: For my own reasons I have been hesitant to use these words, especially the ‘woman’ word,” she wrote on Instagram. I am very proud to be a trans woman and to have come to know it and be able to say it. “I’m telling you I’m a mom now for a specific reason,” she said. So here’s one for anyone who wants to see one: I’m a trans woman and a mom.

Max Vigilant is the head of operations at the mosquito and vector control unit at the Harris County Department of Public Health. In the long arc of human history, mosquitoes have killed far more people than bullets and bombs have. Malaria, which is carried by mosquitoes, still kills about 400,000 people a year (mostly children in sub-Saharan Africa). Along the way, Vigilant talks about the attack patterns of different mosquito species, why vector-borne diseases are a climate-justice issue, and how the climate crisis is making the entire Gulf Coast more hospitable for disease-carrying insects. Only Vigilant could hold up the dead body of a killer like aedes aegypti and say to me, “She’s kind of beautiful, isn’t she?”

When Keith Richards first met Gram Parsons in 1968, he felt he’d known him all his life. How far that effect went has been a hot debate between fans over years, particularly when “Wild Horses” enters the conversation. The song is the final track on the Flying Burrito Brothers’ Burrito Deluxe, a year before the Stones’ version was released on Sticky Fingers — an album that turns 50 years old this week. You can hear it in ‘Dead Flowers,’ ‘Torn and Frayed,’ ‘Sweet Virginia,’ and ‘Wild Horses,’ which we gave to Gram to put on the Flying Burrito Brothers record Burrito Deluxe before we put it out ourselves.”Parsons also explained the song’s genesis months before he died in 1973, claiming he heard it the night of Altamont, when the Flying Burrito Brothers and the Stones both played the ill-fated festival. It takes on a heavier feel from the Stones’ version, with Parsons’ vocals sounding as if they’ve been dipped in whiskey and left to dry in the desert.

In 2017, a stage diver landed on a man’s head at a punk music festival in New Jersey. Will we see an explosion in these types of liability lawsuits in the coming months, as music festivals come roaring back around the world, bringing an increased risk of Covid-19 cases with them? The answer is largely not — because festivals have preempted such scenarios. When asked why, a Summerfest organizer responded that the event’s “materials, including the website, will be updated as we get closer to the opening of Summerfest 2021,” which is scheduled for September. Festivals’ protective language around Covid isn’t unique to their attendees, either: Benoualid works on contracts for artist clients, who are facing their own set of tightened rules.

In South Carolina, one bill would make it a felony to provide affirming medical care to minors, punishable by 20 years in prison. Rather than focusing on the purported threat of “biological men in bathrooms,” they turned to trans kids in school sports. Bans on trans medical care, on the other hand, could tangibly change the lives of the vast majority of trans youth in their state. So my goal is that you have to look me in the face, and still say, ‘Yeah, we’re gonna hurt trans kids,’ ” says Bundy. Taking these bills to court once again puts the onus on trans kids, who will have to endure the Trump-packed judicial system.

How to Watch the Annual Event Before It PeaksThe 2021 Lyrid Meteor Shower Is Here: How to Watch the Annual Event Before It PeaksThe 2021 Lyrid Meteor Shower Is Here: How to Watch the Annual Event Before It PeaksEarth Day is approaching — and what better way to celebrate than with a meteor shower lighting up the sky? The 2021 Lyrid Meteor Shower, which started picking up steam on Monday, is expected to streak across the sky this week, according to EarthSky.org. Experts predict that the annual event — which occurs each year after a meteor drought from January to mid-April — will reach its peak during the predawn hours on Thursday, the outlet reported. On Thursday, during its expected peak, the shower is expected to produce about 15 to 20 meteors per hour, according to EarthSky.org.

NFTs are allowing people to buy and sell digital assets like never before. While cryptocurrency can be used interchangeably, NFTs have unique identification codes stored on a blockchain that sets each one apart. Digital art, music, and even digital sports cards are all NFTs you can buy. "For the artist, this has created a new source of revenue and outlet for their art or music," says Hayes. Ozair believes NFTs have more value than a regular collector's item like a ticket or an album.

Air fryer fans on Amazon agree that the brush is effective, given its small size and affordable price point. It gets the gunk out from between the wires with little effort and without damaging the metal,” one customer shared. “This little tool is a lifesaver. I hated using my air fryer basket, especially with chicken because it would leave a huge mess and it was really hard to clean. Now I don't mind using my air fryer because this brush makes it so much easier,” said another.

Up From Sweatshops Up From Sweatshops For decades, economists have promoted low-wage textile industry as the best way for poor countries to build a manufacturing base. Today, a number of East African countries, including Ethiopia and Kenya, are attempting to follow that path. So how are Ethiopian workers faring? The current development efforts in East Africa have been shaped with knowledge of this checkered history. Farmers weren’t getting the credit or machinery they needed, even though their yields would have strengthened the supply of raw materials for their countries’ industrial efforts.

Over email, the INDY caught up with Rodriguez and Headen to learn more about their journey and participation/engagement with hip-hop culture via graphic design. RODRIGUEZ: I got started in graphic design around my junior year in high school. What made me turn my attention to graphic design was my older brother, who at the time was in college for that profession. I graduated from The Art Institute of Charlotte with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design. Was it always a goal of yours to make an income off of graphic design?

This is what I learned, spiced with some quotes from police reports that give you a flavor of the action. Crews lifted the bridge on hydraulic jacks, re-graded the tracks, and placed shims on the old foundation to add height. “You know, there are multiple signs, there are literally flashing lights that tell you, you’re about to strike the bridge. Traffic sign experts and traffic engineers from across the globe are baffled and intrigued by this question of road sign efficacy. “Criteria for the Design and Evaluation of Traffic Sign Symbols,” a 1988 study published by Robert Dewar, explores various aspects about why signs work and don’t work.

Roy Cooper said he anticipates lifting all mandatory social distancing, capacity, and mass gathering restrictions by June 1 if vaccination rates hold. "If we work together to get everyone vaccinated and keep metrics in a good place, we can brig back summer to North Carolina," Cooper said. Our COVID-19 trends remain relatively stable although we have seen slight increases over the past couple weeks. Currently, new COVID-19 numbers remain low, but the percent of positive tests rate has inched up over health officials' goal of five percent in recent weeks. There will also be measures in place to protect children who have not yet been vaccinated, in summer camps and summer schools, for instance.

With Isaac in support, a sweeping new bill package in the North Carolina General Assembly, collectively known as the “North Carolina Momnibus Act,” aims to combat these disproportionately high rates of maternal mortality among Black mothers planning to give birth. The bills would also establish a “Maternal Mortality Prevention” grant program for community organizations already working to combat maternal mortality in Black people. “And those are not the same privileges we as Black women have been given.”Evidence suggests birth doulas may help combat some of the risk factors associated with maternal mortality. This “Social Determinants of Maternal Health Task Force” would be under the Department of Health and Human Services, and consist of state agency leaders, people with lived experience of loss of a family member due to maternal mortality, patients who have suffered maternal morbidity, maternal health workers, and leaders from community organizations that address maternal mortality with a focus on racial and ethnic disparities. North Carolina Health News is an independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit, statewide news organization dedicated to covering all things health care in North Carolina.

Minari is a well-made film — nicely acted, solidly structured, interesting, and a mild emotional workout. It’s about a South Korean family trying to make a go of farming in 1980s Arkansas, and it’s semi-autobiographical, based on the memories of the talented writer-director Lee Isaac Chung. For me, Minari’s entire appeal is all in the specifics — South Korean family plus Arkansas farm plus 1980s. But the ultimate symbol is, of course, the Korean minari plant grown by the grandmother down by the creek, as she scorns the “stupid Americans” who don’t know about its life-giving properties. Did I mention the film is dedicated to “grandmas everywhere”?

A working-class outpost in the “red zone” close to the Jarama front, it was devastated by Franco’s advancing fascist forces. Red Area, Red Priests Yet Vallecas’s proud identity really only came to be forged during the long Franco dictatorship. In Vallecas these red priests were a central component of neighborhood organization and activism during and after the Franco dictatorship. In partnership with labor lawyers, trade unionists, Communist and other left-wing activists, worker priests generated “immense strength of internal solidarity,” as Fernández describes it. Such formidable mobilization around the home as a right would hardly endear Vallecas to Vox’s Madrid candidate Rocío Monasterio, whose background is in the development of high-end properties.

Apparently discontented with their exorbitant revenues and grossly outsized influence, on Sunday twelve of Europe’s biggest football clubs tweeted out their plans to form a breakaway European Super League (ESL). Yet, what those pining for Germany’s fan-owned footy often miss is that having the right club ownership structures doesn’t automatically create a progressive sporting paradise. This has helped create an understanding of football culture as rooted in democratic participation, often in direct antagonism to Germany’s biggest clubs and league. Unfortunately, there’s all too much evidence that fan ownership doesn’t automatically transform a soccer club into a bastion of anti-capitalism. Dietmar Hopp, billionaire founder of software firm SAP and another disdained figure in German football, owns 96 percent of Hoffenheim.

The organization has been leading the charge to block a federal $15 minimum wage and is also fighting a separate Democratic effort to make it easier for workers to form unions. During his talk, Manchin specifically took aim at Sanders for continuing to push for a $15 minimum wage. “We’ve been having meetings on minimum wage, and I can’t for the life of me understand why they don’t take a win on $11,” he said. The federal minimum wage is currently $7.25 an hour, and the subminimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13. West Virginia has an $8.75 minimum wage, with a $2.62 tipped wage.

On March 6, 2020, Marcial Morales was sent to the Essex County Jail in Newark, New Jersey to await deportation proceedings. Inside-Outside“Honk 4 ICE Detainees!”: Protesters outside of Bergen County Jail on a March afternoon. In December, police kettled and attacked protesters outside the Bergen jail, and more than a dozen people were arrested. Vergara, who organized a hunger strike at the Hudson jail in December, was kept on suicide watch for a week as retribution. A federal inspection that found conditions at Essex County Jail to be so bad that even the Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security condemned it.

And now just three Democratic senators stand in the way of it coming to the Senate floor for a vote. King’s office was reportedly ?“inundated” with phone calls about the PRO Act in the weeks before he decided to change course, as was Manchin’s. Winning Kelly’s support for the PRO Act is considered especially crucial, since it is widely believed Sinema won’t get on board before he does. Well aware of these obstacles, the coalition to pass the PRO Act is preparing to ramp up the pressure. ?“Our coalition will continue to mobilize the working class in this country to fight for the PRO Act.”

Hunter Biden wanted to be an artist, perhaps a writer or a musician. By his own confession, Hunter Biden is a liar, a cheat and a sneak. MBNA appears only briefly in Beautiful Things, just after Hunter’s stint at Yale Law. At least, that’s the story Mykola Zlochevsky, Burisma’s owner and president, tells Hunter, and the one Hunter chooses to believe. (Hunter somewhat scandalously saw his sister-in-law, Hallie Biden, for a time after Beau’s death.)

From Maine to Iowa to Alaska, the Saudi ambassador began a campaign of courting Main Street America. Later in October, the princess would speak to more than 50 local business leaders at the Alaska World Affairs Council. Ambassador Bandar Al-Saud’s road show would only sweep on, right past the election and inauguration of President Joe Biden. Despite appearances, such events weren’t the product of meticulous planning by Saudi diplomats or Ambassador Bandar Al-Saud herself. By enlisting trusted community members across the United States to help peddle the best possible version of the Kingdom, the Saudi lobby has given its brand a homegrown, American-as-apple-pie shine.

It is indeed capitalism, or more specifically, forty years of neoliberal hollowing out of state capacity, but this is what is responsible for the great vaccine failure, not success. Where there has been success, it is where there has been a partial or temporary reversal of this process of deterioration of state capacity, at least for this sector, or in locations where the fragilization of state capacity never fully took hold. But Trudeau was the sixth successive prime minister to ignore expert warnings over domestic vaccine supply, including three Tories. And yet neoliberal hollowing out of state capacity has affected these two nations as much as any other Western country. Instead, we should look to these countries’ maintenance and even enhancement of state capacity to explain their success.

By 1989, The New York Times coined the term “fast fashion” in reference to the 15-day period between an idea’s inception and when the physical garment hit the racks. “I saw how the acceleration of fast fashion was creating a toxic disposable culture across the entire industry,” Ricketts told The Nation. Earlier this month, fast fashion outlet H&M released a new commercial with Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams. In response to increasing criticisms, fast fashion brands like Uniqlo, Zara, and Urban Outfitters have launched lines with a sustainable veneer: collections made with recycled materials and sold alongside their standard, poorly made options. Ironically, while fast fashion brands claim to support refurbishment, reuse, and upcycling, the hundreds of tailors and seamstresses working in the market have actually achieved it.

The Keystone XL Pipeline, proposed more than a decade ago, has had multiple life cycles. Now that Biden has canceled Keystone XL, one head of the great regenerating oil snake is gone. But as with Keystone XL, the victory was short-lived because of Trump’s election. On the same day that he resurrected Keystone XL, Trump (more the “angel of dearth” than the “angel of death”) issued a memorandum to expedite the completion of DAPL. We are still here—as communities, tribes, Native nations, and individuals.

House minority leader Kevin McCarthy claims that “the Republican Party is the party of Lincoln…not nativist dog whistles.”Liar. “This weekend in Minnesota, Maxine Waters broke the law by violating curfew and then incited violence,” claimed McCarthy. An interviewer asked, “What should protesters do?”“Well,” said Waters, “we’ve got to stay on the street.

Contracts with ed tech vendors are often negotiated by university administrators and executives without faculty, student, or parent involvement. Other pre-pandemic studies suggest that these problems with ed tech exist at institutions across the country. Other platforms we explored defer FERPA compliance to an ed tech industry–branded student privacy pledge that intentionally skirts enforceable privacy requirements, leaving the potential for unfettered and unregulated surveillance. Such practices among both tech vendors and institutions show the need for greater scrutiny. Part of this is because the pandemic prompted an uptick in use, putting more student data at risk.

These farmers constitute the first documented case of internal displacement in Chile due to climate change, according to the United Nations. Many small farmers struggle to navigate the complex registration system that was created to keep track of water rights, Roco said. Araya, who advocates for small farmers’ water rights, said that the Huasco Valley was once green, covered with fruit trees and roaming cows. “We are clearly feeling the effects of climate change, because we live in a semiarid desert. And last month, the Chilean congress passed a bill to create a ministry to oversee the 43 institutions handling water rights.

Back in 1976, Jimmy Carter’s consigliere, Charlie Kirbo, was delegated to vet the president-elect’s choices for the vice presidency. Every vice president since Mondale has had a desk down the hall from the Oval Office. Democrats probably regretted the elevation of the vice presidency only once, when George W. Bush made Dick Cheney an über vice president.
