I've seen a lot of complaints and concerns about the layoffs at Xbox that put 3,200 people out of work and resulted in the spinoff of four studios—eventually five, once the Arkane situation is sorted. One I haven't run across is a claim that it's all part of an effort to take jobs away from Americans and replace them with non-Americans on H-1B visas. That changed today, though, when Microsoft chief communications officer Frank X. Shaw took to social media to deny the claim.
The New York Times has filed counterclaims against the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which is pursuing a lawsuit against the news organization for allegedly discriminating against a white male employee by passing him over for a promotion.

For Novak Djokovic, what he is doing now is good, but not good enough.
Reaching a Wimbledon semi-final at 39 - having beaten an opponent 14 years his junior over five hours and 15 minutes - showed he could still play at a high level.

Giotto Bizzarrini was hugely influential in Italy's car industry, but his own company only lasted a few years.
This version of the 5300 GT was designed but never built back in the late 1960s.
Thanks to a 2020 relaunch of Bizzarrini as a brand, this targa-topped exotic is getting its launch at last.
In the mid-1960s, Giotto Bizzarrini had the golden touch. While working at Ferrari, his engineering went into creating the 250 GTO, now the world's most collectible car. Later, for Lamborghini, he designed the V-12 engine that would power the company's first GT cars and later the Miura. It's like finding out that the same Italian guy painted both The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. Oh wait, that did happen.
A little over 10 years ago, Lin-Manuel Miranda was still performing on Broadway in “Hamilton” while writing the music for Disney’s “Moana.”
Since then, Moana has grossed more than $643 million at the global box office, and its 2024 sequel earned more than $1 billion worldwide. This weekend, the live-action version of the film starring Dwayne Johnson as demigod Maui sails into theaters, with Catherine Laga’aia in the title role. As with the animated feature, the film follows Moana’s journey as she restores the heart of Te Fiti and help her village of Motunui. Johnson’s Maui joins Moana on her quest.

The Mandalorian finally returns next week — but there's a catch

After the disaster that became The Mandalorian & Grogu, the idea of Star Wars returning to do anything else with The Mandoverse — the nickname for the interconnected era of live-action Star Wars TV shows that took place in the post-Empire era like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Skeleton Crew, and Ahsoka — may sound like a terrible mistake.
