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.

'Be committed': Jamal Murray's buzzer-beater winner a product of intense preparation and meditation
cbssports.com/nba/news/be-committed-jamal-murrays-buzzer-beater-winner-a-product-of-intense-preparation-and-meditation/
Quick Glance: Jamal Murray Leads Denver Nuggets to Impressive Victory over LA Lakers
- Jamal Murray achieved an impressive 15-foot buzzer-beater over Anthony Davis to complete a sensational 20-point comeback and give the Denver Nuggets a 101-99 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. This unexpected triumph grants the defending champions a 2-0 lead in the first round, as they now prepare for the upcoming games in the Lakers' arena.
- Following the game-winning shot, Jamal Murray fell into the Nuggets' bench and was embraced by his teammates, igniting the atmosphere in the Ball Arena. Murray faced a challenging start in the game, hitting only three of his first 16 shots before going 6-for-8 in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 of his total 20 points, including the decisive basket.
- While Murray encountered difficulties, the Nuggets stayed competitive thanks to another outstanding performance by Nikola Jokić, who recorded 27 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, and two steals. Michael Porter Jr. also played a crucial role in the Nuggets' victory with 22 points, including successful shooting from beyond the arc.
- The Lakers expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating, particularly regarding a play in the third quarter where a foul against Porter Jr. on D'Angelo Russell was overturned after a review by the Nuggets. It is evident that the Lakers' prospects are increasingly dim after losing 10 consecutive games against the Nuggets. A monumental shift in fate will be required for Los Angeles to progress to the next round.

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond
- Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.
- Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.
- United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.
- On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.
