  • United Auto Workers (UAW) deal—the 32-hour week likely not to be a part of it

  • UN General Assembly meets this week: there was a huge climate change protest on Sunday

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit with President Biden: to ask for help on a 10-point peace proposal and address the food security crisis

  • Drew Barrymore apologized for her decision to resume production despite the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike and reversed her decision

  • TikTok Shop is the latest social media platform to pivot to e-commerce

  • Orcas are attacking people now . . . ? Or still. But now it might not just be playing and could be actual hunting
