Uh oh! It sounds like Monty Python co-founder John Cleese won’t be able to fart in our general direction via his show about cancel culture any time soon, because it has reportedly already been canceled. Help! He’s being repressed! The project—pretty hilariously titled John Cleese: Cancel Me—was announced all the way back in 2021. “I’m delighted to have a chance to find out, on camera, about all the aspects of so-called political correctness. There’s so much I really don’t understand, like: how...

By STEVE MEGARGEE MILWAUKEE — The Bucks and Clippers remain unsure just when they’ll have their top player back on the floor. So far, they’ve still managed to do just fine in their respective first-round playoff series.

United did not say whether or not it expects to be reimbursed by Boeing for the cost of the grounding of its 737 Max 9s for three weeks following the January 5 incident. But it did say that it would have been profitable without...
We previously wrote about the University of Southern California calling off all guest speakers for its 2024 commencement ceremony after controversy erupted over the scheduled (then canceled) speech by the antisemitic valedictorian to graduates, with the provost explaining that “[t]he intensity of feelings," and mounting criticism from people "out of USC"--along with "the ongoing conflict in the Middle East," had made putting on the speeches untenable. They were worried about "security," and the...
Columbia University canceled in-person classes today and new demonstrations broke out on other U.S. college campuses as tensions continue to grow over Israel’s war in Gaza.
When they canceled a graduation speech by a pro-Palestinian valedictorian, USC officials intended to cool down tensions that have roiled the campus throughout the Israel-Hamas war. Instead, the decision by President Carol Folt to revoke a speaking slot for the valedictorian ignited more controversy and catapulted the university further into debates over student activism, free speech, antisemitism and anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hate. On Wednesday, a smattering of protesters gathered by the...
LOS ANGELES — Some students at the University of Southern California said their sense of pride was dashed this week when the school canceled Muslim student Asna Tabassum's valedictorian speech out of security concerns. They said the announcement of Tabassum's selection as valedictorian this month made them feel seen and heard. “It showed me that our people have a voice on campus,” said USC student Abdullah Khlefat, who is Muslim. Another student, named Layan, who asked that her last name not be...
When President Joe Biden signed a $95 billion foreign aid bill into law on April 24, it started the clock on a nine-month window for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app. The president can extend the deadline by three months, and TikTok has indicated that it plans to challenge the law in court. If the law stands and the company fails to sell the app, TikTok will be blocked from any U.S. app store or web-hosting service. This would affect TikTok’s more than 170...
