WorkStocks Sink Before Jobs as Tech Hit on Earnings: Markets Wrap
 Eli Lilly & Co. expects its blockbuster weight-loss drug to officially come out of shortage in the US in the coming days, the company’s chief executive officer said, threatening the billion-dollar industry of copycat versions of the in-demand drugs. WorkReddit's CEO is slamming Microsoft, AI startups for data scraping
But Reddit’s punishment of Microsoft poses a problem: It furthers Google’s dominance of the search market right as that dominance is under major regulatory scrutiny. Jordi Ribas, Microsoft’s head of search, said in a post on X that Reddit is “favoring another search engine and impacting competition from Bing and Bing-powered engines.”

WorkSt Andrews rector dismissed from governing body over Israel genocide accusation
She was backed by Prof Ghassan Abu-Sittah, the rector of the University of Glasgow and a surgeon who provided testimony on Israel’s war in Gaza after operating during the conflict, who said: “The silencing of pro-Palestinian or anti-genocide voices is the reason why this genocide is still going on after 10 months.” Work
WorkWorkUS reacts to major prisoner swap with Russia: 'feat of diplomacy' and 'joyous'
Earlier in 2022, the Biden administration also secured the release of former US marine Trevor Reed, who was arrested in 2019 after Russian authorities said he assaulted an officer while being driven by police to a police station after a night of heavy drinking. Reed was released in exchange for a convicted Russian drug trafficker who was serving a long prison sentence in the US.
WorkSimone Biles makes history with second Olympic gymnastics all-around gold medal
Biles celebrated her gold wearing a diamond-encrusted goat necklace before an animated, celebrity-flecked audience that included USA basketball stars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.

WorkWorkMake caregiving a defining issue of the 2024 election
This year’s election represents a pivotal moment for caregiving in America. It is a chance to elevate this often-hidden issue on the campaign trail and in town halls across the country. Voters have an opportunity to demand that candidates outline their plans to address their care needs, and to elect leaders who understand the caregiving challenges they face. WorkUtah Supreme Court Upholds a Block on a Strict Abortion Ban
Katie Daniel, state policy director of SBA Pro-Life America, an anti-abortion group, expressed disappointment, but said that she was hopeful the ban would eventually take effect, because “this law is the will of the people and it is clear that the unborn deserve protections.” WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkNearly 50 million cars could face a recall for deadly airbags
The recall has worrying similarities to the Takata airbag inflator recall that shook the automotive industry for years. In total, more than 40 million vehicles have so far been recalled after faulty airbag inflators were found to be exploding when they go off. The issue killed 27 people in America and injured more than 400. WorkEli Lilly's weight loss drug Zepbound could cut heart failure risks, trial finds
The promising results could become a pathway for Zepbound to be covered by federal health insurance in the United States. In March, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued new guidance stating that “anti-obesity medications that receive FDA approval for an additional medically accepted indication can be considered a Part D drug for that specific use.” WorkWorkWorkOpinion | America May Soon Face a Fateful Choice About Iran
But honesty also requires me to acknowledge that some things are true even if Netanyahu believes them. And one of those things is that Iran is the biggest indigenous imperial power in the Middle East, and through its proxies it has been dominating the politics of millions of Arabs living in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, Iraq and Yemen — dragging their citizens into wars with Israel that few of them have any interest in. No leader in any of these Arab states today can make decisions hostile to Iran’s interests without fear of being killed. WorkRussia Freed Evan Gershkovich in a Major Prisoner Swap
Gershkovich was held in a Russian prison for 16 months on espionage charges that the U.S. considered politically motivated. Russia also released Paul Whelan, a former U.S. Marine, and Alsu Kurmasheva, a Russian American editor. Here’s what we know about everyone involved in the swap. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkNetflix Geeked Week 2024 starts on September 16
A teaser gives some idea of what\'s in store. Among other projects, you can expect updates on Wednesday, Squid Game (which will return in December), Arcane, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Tomb Raider, One Piece and a little show called Stranger Things. The clip also suggests there will be some news on the Monument Valley front — that series is slated to hit Netflix\'s games library this year, while a sequel has been teased. WorkThe Beats Fit Pro earbuds drop to a new low of $140
On the downside, the controls can be overly sensitive. They\'re too easy to accidentally press when simply adjusting the earbuds, which is an annoyance. The charging case feels relatively cheap as well in comparison with the solid build quality of the earbuds. Those quibbles aside, the Beats Fit Pro are a strong option for anyone looking for a great set of running headphones — or earbuds in general. WorkTaco Bell will add voice AI ordering to hundreds of drive-thrus this year
That\'s the positive side. On the negative side, there are still plenty of imperfections yet to be resolved in the tech. McDonald\'s ran a similar effort exploring drive-thrus powered by AI, but called off its program earlier this summer. Customers had encounters that were equal parts frustrating and hilarious with the AI ordering options during the testing phase. There\'s also a concern that if the kinks in these AI systems do get worked out, the easing of team members\' workloads could turn into losing some team members\' jobs. WorkMiss South Africa contestant faces backlash over Nigerian father
Chronically high rates of unemployment – more than four in 10 adults are out of work – and violent crime have fuelled anti-African immigrant sentiment in South Africa. Operation Dudula, which was founded in 2021 and takes its name from the Zulu word meaning to “push away” or “drive back”, has attacked people accused of being foreign drug dealers, as well as businesses thought to have had non-South African employees. WorkChildren 'at death's door' as famine declared in Sudanese refugee camp
Stéphane Doyon, who heads MSF's emergency response in Sudan, said: "Because these supplies have not yet arrived, we only have enough therapeutic food left to last another few weeks. Already, many children there are at death's door. These supplies are needed to save their lives." WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkTurkish marksman's nonchalant charm goes viral at Paris Olympics
Her medal was a personal success but a resurfaced clip of her breaking the world record at the International Shooting Sport Federation World Cup earlier this year soon thrust her into the spotlight. Kim broke the record wearing a backwards baseball cap, and barely flinched when she set the new mark, a reaction that earned her the title - on the internet, anyway - of "the coolest person ever".
