Recently, it announced it’s ditching its initial attempt, called Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC), in favor of a new mechanism called Topics.

On Tuesday, Iowa Republican lawmakers and citizens gathered at the Iowa State Capitol to rally and voice their frustrations regarding potential mandates that may come forth in the state. Iowa State Representatives Sandy Salmon and Jeff Shipley spoke at the event which was hosted by the anti-vaccination group “Informed Choice Iowa.” Salmon believes that all vaccine mandates violate the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. “We have not just COVID-19, but we have totalitarian fever, and that is what we have to eradicate,” said Salmon to Iowa Capital Dispatch....

Two dogs are jumping up and down, perplexed, as a woman can be heard laughing as she says: “Okay go ahead. Okay go ahead. Pluto are you going to eat your way out?” She then throws a dog toy out the door, which immediately disappears into the roughly meter-deep snow, shouting “okay, go get it....

WEYMOUTH: Why did President Yeltsin fire Prime Minister Primakov? YAVLINSKY: Because he became very close to the communists. [And] because he had no economic program. What do you think about the choice of Sergei Stepashin to be prime minister? This is not a very good choice. He was very active in Chechnya. Will your party support him? This is an open question. It’s very hard for us to forget that he was the head of the KGB while the war in Chechnya [was going on]....

So far as I know, there are no secret tapes of Richard III saying ““And, oh, by the way, be sure to finish off those little brats in the tower....
