Google Fires 28 Employees Who Protested an Israeli Cloud Contract: The dismissals escalated longstanding tensions between company leaders and activist employees ...

nytimes.com/2024/04/18/technology/google-firing-israeli-cloud-contract.html

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Review: Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department finds the star bereft but vicious

bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68846376

Quick Glance: Taylor Swift unveils track list for new album featuring two collaborations

Taylor Swift shared on Monday the song titles and information about two collaborations for her 11th era, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' an album she announced after winning her 13th career Grammy on Sunday.

The album has four sides, with the titles of the songs suggesting it could be a breakup album about her ex-boyfriend and actor Joe Alwyn, whom Swift dated for six years.

There are several song titles in the album referencing London and England, where Alwyn is from, contrasting the cheerful nature of 'London Boy' with darker titles like 'But Daddy I Love Him.'

Swift also revealed that she wrote the bonus track 'You're Losing Me' two years ago, which depicts a relationship on life support as she pleads with her partner to revive the romance.

thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4602669-rfk-jr-michigan-robert-f-kennedy-jr-biden-trump/

Quick Glance: Biden Receives Kennedy Family Endorsements in Philadelphia

President Joe Biden received endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, and sister of the current presidential candidate, delivered the endorsements in Philadelphia, calling Biden her hero.

The decision to highlight the Kennedy family's support more than six months from Election Day indicates how seriously Biden's team is taking a long shot candidate using his last name's lingering Democratic magic.

Biden used the event to keep up the pressure on Trump, emphasizing the importance of the election not for himself, but to keep Trump out, stating the race was significant due to the potential consequences if they lose this election. The Kennedy family endorsements for Biden were hardly a surprise, as prominent members of the Democratic family did not politically align with Kennedy Jr.

Quick Glance: Brazil's Struggle Over Amazon Oil Drilling

Petrobras faces resistance from Indigenous groups and government agencies in its key exploration project to open Brazil's northern coast to oil drilling.

The denial of a drilling license in the Foz do Amazonas area due to potential impacts on Indigenous groups has led to organized opposition and a decision expected in 2024.

The conflict highlights a rift in Lula's government, balancing Amazon protection with oil interests, and the potential for a significant oil discovery in Amapa state.

Indigenous leaders demand consultation before drilling, amid concerns over environmental impact and the influx of migrant workers to Oiapoque.

Homeowner, 81, who fatally shot innocent Uber driver thought she was tied to scammer threatening him for $12K

Quick Glance: 81-Year-Old Shoots Innocent Uber Driver Amid Scam Threat

An 81-year-old man from West Virginia who fatally shot an innocent Uber driver after they were both scammed said he had been warned that he and his family would be killed unless he paid $12,000.

Chilling 911 audio obtained revealed more details about the March 25 shooting, leaving 61-year-old Loletha Hall dead and William Brock behind bars on a murder charge.

Brock allegedly shot Hall three times after being threatened by a stranger on the phone, claiming a relative had been incarcerated and demanding $12,000 for release, leading to Brock's arrest on murder charges.

Investigators tracked the scammer's call to Canada but believe he used a burner phone, and highlighted that there was no active threat from Hall, resulting in Brock's murder charges for failing to contact authorities while brandishing a firearm.
