Writers Guild Rips ABC’s Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ From Air: “The WGA Stands With Jimmy Kimmel and His Writers”
The union that represents writers on Jimmy Kimmel Live! is ripping ABC for pulling the show off air after the comedian made some viral remarks regarding the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
“The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other — to disturb, even — is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice,” said the Writers Guild of America West and East on Wednesday night, not long after Disney-owned ABC said it was pulling the show “indefinitely.”
The union added, “As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who...

How WWI got Nat Geo got into the map business
Business
Poland. Denmark. Norway. Belgium. As Hitler’s troops marched across Europe in wave after seemingly unstoppable wave, nations toppled, the conquered states’ borders melting into Germany.
But thousands of miles away, a group of committed National Geographic cartographers had different marching orders: Don’t change the map of Europe until the war is over. Leaving borders in place would show what was at stake.
The National Geographic Society had been making maps since the First World War. National Geographic Society president Gilbert Grosvenor had not only anticipated the conflict, but also knew that National Geographic readers would need maps to understand it. Dissatisfied with the first map he commissioned from an outside company, Grosvenor established a map department within the Society in 1915.Nat Geo was now in the map business—and the inclusion of maps in its magazine piqued...

As government money tightens its grip on fighting games, the push back to grassroots events gains momentum
Last week, the news broke that the Saudi Arabian city project Qiddiya had acquired an American talent management and brand consulting firm called RTS. Now, you may not have heard of RTS, but you may have heard of the video game event it co-owns: Evo.
Evo, the largest fighting game tournament in the world, is now owned in-part by the Saudi Arabian government. This government, criticised heavily for its human rights record, has brought the jewel of the fighting game community into its ever-growing sportswashing venture.
The reaction was loud and largely negative in the wake of this announcement, with a wave of fighting game fans and professionals decrying the move, pledging to never attend an Evo again, and urging others to focus their interest and money towards community-owned grassroots events. But will this manifest in reality,...
Cowboys news: Updates from the Tuesday Dallas open practice
Here are some of the big takeaways from Tuesday nights practice at The Star.3 the Hard Way: George Pickens is not of this planet, it seems. Youre hard-pressed to escape a practice wherein he doesnt generate a highlight of some sort, and the Cowboys return to Frisco was no different. Dak Prescott dropped back and unleashed a bullseye of a throw downfield that Pickens brought down over his shoulder, and the defender, at the sideline while keeping both feet inbounds with a falling toe tap. Whew. (- Patrik Walker)
Safety Blankets: From the first two plays of team period in Tuesdays practice, the Cowboys safety duo of Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker made a statement. Wilson made back-to-back would be TFLs on run plays, getting to the outside to make a play and plugging up the...
