▼ + stars: | 2023-06-04 | by ( Jane Carr | Opinion Jane Greenway Carr | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +15 min

Oppenheimer’s list of books included works by Plato, mathematician Bernhard Riemann and scientist Michael Faraday, and the “Bhagavad-Gita,” with which he has famously long been associated. What happens when the inner workings and potential reach of scientific inventions are unknown, even to the human beings who create them? Still, Pride is also a time to revel in culture’s power to transform, sustain and bring joy to LGBTQ communities. But Medvedev knows that above all else he needs Putin to think of him as unequivocally loyal and useful. What it will do is help 40 million borrowers who, like me, were drowning in debt and need immediate relief.

☆ Opinion | Trump Is Back, to Tear Our Families Apart Once More

Maybe you even mended some fences with the people who, no matter how much you may disagree with them, you love. But the recent CNN town hall with Mr. Trump was a reminder of storm clouds on the horizon — and these clouds look very familiar. A majority of Americans do not want to see another matchup between Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump. And what if Ron DeSantis gets the Republican nomination over Mr. Trump? Though considering how bruising any nomination battle that Mr. Trump loses would be — if such a battle ends at all — I suspect it won’t leave the country in a healing mood, either.

Leitch and Google didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider, made outside normal working hours. Leitch isn't alone in taking to LinkedIn after losing his job in the layoffs that have swept the tech industry.

☆ Tom Brady's Super Bowl 2022 dreams in Tampa Bay seem dead

Admit it: You thought Tom Brady was going to get away with it. After shocking the football world with a retirement announcement, the seven-time Super Bowl champion was showered with countless hosannas and odes to the GOAT. He’d come right back and win another Super Bowl, basking in ever-more glorious pronouncements. The whole point of Tom Brady returning to football is to win another Super Bowl, to go for his unprecedented eighth championship ring. Not even Tom Brady.

☆ Washington Commanders NFL owner Dan Snyder gets the last laugh
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-06 | by ( Will Leitch | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +5 min

Silver’s powerful statement fortified the NBA’s place as the “progressive” sports league and set in motion the age of athlete activism. To be fair, Washington Commanders fans will benefit if Snyder sells the team and someone less buffoonish and cruel (and incredibly shady) buys it. The NFL will also benefit if Snyder sells the team, as will the employees who alleged they have long suffered under his leadership. Heck, the world will benefit if Snyder sells the team, if just not to have to hear about him anymore. But let there be no doubt about it: If Snyder sells the team, no one on earth will benefit more than Daniel Snyder.
