Elon Musk row: UK’s Rishi Sunak says antisemitism ‘wrong in all its forms’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:50:48 GMT

LONDON — British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said antisemitism is “wrong in all its forms” after X owner Elon Musk was criticized for sharing a conspiracy theory-laden post on the social media platform.The U.K. prime minister — who recently shared a platform with the tech billionaire at the U.K.’s AI summit — declined to directly take aim at Musk in an interview Sunday night. But he put distance between himself and the X owner’s social media activity, which drew condemnation from the White House earlier this month.Musk sparked controversy when he wrote that a post on the platform formerly known as Twitter “said the actual truth.” He was replying to a user who posted an antisemitic claim that Jewish communities have been “pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”Pressed on those remarks, Sunak told Bloomberg TV: “I don’t tend to get in the business of scrutinizing what every...

Geert Wilders’ coalition scout resigns over fraud scandal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:50:48 GMT

Dutch Senator Gom van Strien on Monday resigned from his role seeking to identify potential coalition partners for far-right election-winner Geert Wilders, after accusations of fraud resurfaced in Dutch media.“This weekend, articles appeared in the media about activities in my past, in which my integrity is questioned,” van Strien said, according to NRC.In the Netherlands, the leader of the party that wins the largest share of the vote in an election chooses a senior official to scout out possible governing coalition options. Wilders had appointed van Strien, who is also a member of his far-right Freedom Party, as his point man.“In my view, both the unrest that has arisen about this and the preparation of a response to it do not relate to my current work as a scout,” van Strien said. “That is why I have informed Geert Wilders and the speaker of the House of Representatives that I will resign from my duties as scout with immediate effect.”Van Strien...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:50:48 GMT

The Ravens’ defense did it again.Just 11 miles separate SoFi Stadium from Hollywood, and Baltimore’s game against the Chargers on Sunday night was a thriller. It was also a familiar script, with the defense playing a starring role.Baltimore forced four turnovers, including one early in the fourth quarter, and held on for a 20-10 victory that was closer and more nerve-wracking than the final score indicated.Midway through the final period and with the Ravens clinging to a three-point lead, outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney strip-sacked quarterback Chargers Justin Herbert deep in Baltimore territory and recovered the fumble to stamp out one comeback attempt.

New incentives could boost satisfaction with in-person work, but few employers are making changes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:50:48 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Justin Ryan Horton has two jobs. When he’s not working 24-hour shifts as a firefighter, the 22-year-old is working as an administrative assistant for a local community college from his home in Colorado Springs.Firefighting is, of course, not a work-from-home kind of job. So when the community college position gave Horton the choice to clock in remotely, he took it.“I’m gone a lot being a firefighter,” Horton said. “Instead of coming home and then seeing my family for a few minutes before leaving to go to my other job… I feel like I have just more time with (them) when I work from home.”The COVID-19 pandemic upended what working looks like for millions of people all around the world. While many jobs can only be done in person, swaths of employers shuttered their physical doors and moved their workplaces increasingly online.Workers have since begun to return to the office in waves, at least for part of the week, and navigating that transition is...
