Newton will rally round the fig on May 7 with a grand barbecue and a special appearance by pop singer Juice Newton. (Wayne Newton and Olivia Newton-John were too busy–and too expensive.)

Until the 1970s, race was the rage in public debate. Class remained almost a secret – discussed in private and delineated by taste but subsumed in the assumption growing out of World War II that everyone except the very rich and the very poor was part of the great American Middle. Exposing the existence of an overclass began in places like The Washington Monthly, a little political magazine. One day in 1970 the wife of the editor, Charlie Peters, was in a bookstore and overheard a hip-looking young man discussing the Vietnam draft....

Other crucial issues, including the annual $100 billion paid by richer nations to help developing countries meet climate targets, are yet to be agreed on. The failure to secure the crucial deals so far has led to accusations of “greenwashing” by campaigners....
The hosts did not have a great outing in the quarter-final against Paraguay and went through on penalties, after a goalless draw in normal time. On the other hand, Messi, and co. beat their opponents Venezuela 2-0 and had a more comfortable outing.

“I do think there’s an opportunity for certain businesses and industries to break free from China,” Sean Maharaj, managing director of AArete, a global management consultancy, told Newsweek. Chinese authorities shuttered factories in January to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which has infected 74,000 people in that nation. Workers have slowly started to return to work, but travel restrictions keep factories and manufacturers from operating at full capacity. Meanwhile, a growing list of companies—including Under Armour and Apple—have announced they expect disruptions in their supply chains....

Control’s bizarre mystique is largely derived from its SCP Foundation inspirations, which are peppered throughout the game in order to establish a phenomenal atmosphere, and knowing that Control’s Panopticon houses so many of these horrors adds to the game’s mystery. Therefore, happening upon redacted documents and attempting to parse their supernatural occurrences is enthralling, and that tone needs to be reprised in Control 2....

Tokui is voiced by Kojima, and his English translator is voiced by Kojima Productions communications manager Aki Saito....
[HTML1] If video games are going to be taken seriously as a creative medium, then the community needs to welcome developers from varied backgrounds, and with opposing points of view. Sometimes, that means reexamining what really constitutes a game, or putting up with a title that’s ideologically repellent. For the sake of expanding the community, if gamers are going to welcome games like Gone Home into the fold, they’re going to have to put up with things like Hatred as well....
