Articles from BBC News and The New York Times by Alice Holler https://padlet.com/alic0786/Bookmarks Describe your articles en-us 2022-05-10 18:40:38 UTC 2022-06-01 07:39:52 UTC hello@padlet.com Wordle: Controversial answer was unintentional - NYT (May 9th 2022) alic0786 https://padlet.com/alic0786/Bookmarks/wish/2178272809 The article discusses how the online game "Wordle", which is owned by The New York Times, has apologized after using the word "fetus" as a solution to the daily word challenge for some players. 

The inclusion of the word comes amid the public debate about the future of abortion access in the US after a leaked Supreme Court draft ruling indicated that the US may be overturning Roe v Wade.

Roe v Wade was a case from 1973 that legalized aboortion across the country. 

Many users of Wordle has taken offense of the incident because the game is supposed to be a neutral game without any political agenda. The New York Times has made a public apology and changed the word "fetus" to "shine" in the daily word challenge.

 Roblox was very quick to take the content down and a Roblox creater by the tag "Zomebody" claims that finding something like this by accident without searching for it is extremely unlikely.

The Thot got very mad and threatened to sue roblox]]> 2022-05-20 07:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/alic0786/Bookmarks/wish/2192653566 The New York Times - Tuesday May 17th 2022 alic0786 https://padlet.com/alic0786/Bookmarks/wish/2198937208 1) Two headlines that I found interesting:
- Nordic countries turn to NATO (page 3)
- Business travel is rebounding, though not at its former pace (page 7)

2) A short summary of one article:
The article "Business travel is rebounding, though not at its former pace" discusses how business travel appears to be returning after almost disappearing after the Covid pandemic, where Zoom meetings surfaced and was thought to take over face-to-face encounters. Even though airline tickets shows a steady increase in business travels, factors like the the war in Ukraine, China's "zero Covid" lockdowns and the unpredictable path of the pandemic still affect domestic and international travels, according to the former president and chairman of American Airlines, Robert Crandall. However, the article describes how U.S. airlines business travels have recovered almost 80 percent since the beginning of the pandemic despite of the mentioned challenges.  

3) 5 new or difficult words
- Rebound = tilbagespring 
- Supplant = fortrænge / erstatte 
- Receded = trække sig tilbage 
- Abruptly = pludselig 
- Diminishing = aftagende / forsvindende ]]> 2022-05-25 06:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/alic0786/Bookmarks/wish/2198937208 New York Times.

The article discusses that the first known western psychedelic retreat was organized by the soon-to-be-fired Harvard psychology professor Timothy Leary and his partner in mind-expansion studies, Richard Alpert. People go to the retreat because they want to (maybe).

-Covid killed over a million people which is more than all wars within the same timeframe and more than all car crashes in America together. This is because of shitty healthcare system and fox news (not directly how its worded in the article). Racial minorities also appear to die more of Corona.

-1. Magnitude is something in the style of an earthquake but it can also be used to mean the grasp of something.
2. Hispanic is a bullshit American term this is supposed to refer to people with origin from Iberia except that people WHO ARE ACTUALLY FROM IBERIA are not referred to as Hispanic.
3. Transmissibility is ability to transform in order to adapt to certain things.
4. Toll the grasp of the hit of something.
5. Astoundingly is basically the same as saying shockingly.]]> 2022-05-25 07:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/alic0786/Bookmarks/wish/2199007331 End my sufferings. https://padlet.com/alic0786/Bookmarks/wish/2205686846 Start your sufferings

However this process could take up to a year. 

The war in Ukraine have interrupted the wheat production in both Ukraine and Russia. And naval blockades in the Black Sea have disrupted transport of grain.
