I mean, you fire them.
For those arguing Jensen should not be fired (and there are many on here), my basic question:
If you're the board, what else do you do once confirming that your CEO lied to you about one affair (which has major nat sec implications) and also was sleeping w/ a direct report (obvs policy violations for good reason)?

I know we’re all focused on the Huang-doings of NVIDIA’s CEO, but, serious question…what happens to the woman accused of being a spy? Has anyone checked in on that lately?
Jensen Huang had a relationship with an Nvidia executive who reported to him.

iHeart is pushing back on this report pretty hard.
"While we don’t generally comment on rumors or speculation, I can tell you that we have no plan to sell our podcasting business," a spokesperson for iHeart said.
New: @iHeartRadio is exploring a sale of part or all of its podcast business.

Reporters Without Borders has never publicly called for the remova of a U.S. government official.
Until today, when the organization said FCC Chairman Brendan Carr should be impeached. thedesk.net/2026/11/reporter…

I've been using X (Twitter) for almost 20 years and I'm only now discovering that people are surprised to learn about basic features that have been around forever.
(j/k nothing surprises me anymore.)

I have been in the lounge.
Twice.
The food is amazing.
There is unlimited candy.
It is heaven underneath Sacramento.
I'd be mad, too, if I was a star rook and had to play for a garbage team where so much was riding on my back.
Like, what a terrible way to spend your first few games in the pro league.
If you win, it's a miracle, if you lose, it's your fault.
Frustrations are riding high in Sacramento. Darius Acuff Jr. post game was very different. Some pretty raw vibes after a 1-10 start:

"Just don't talk" is always a good option.
Advice I should take more often.
I’ve largely stepped away from social for the last couple years. Every so often there’s an event or moment that I want to post about or times when I want to be snarky.
I’ve relearned a lot out here irl. Did you know you can just allow someone to be wrong and not say anything??

One of the worst parts about the Kings having a terrible season has little to do with the team — indie outlets, like the Kings Herald, are suffering too as fans tune out of coverage about the team.
Which is REALLY bad because our newspaper laid off their sports writers.
Kings just lost to a team with 6 guys out with injury.
I don’t want to be hasty here and make any grand proclamations but I think there’s a really strong chance that we’re the worst team ever.

Total of 13,573 seats sold, or 77 percent capacity, for a home game against the Magic, one that Sacramento could have and should have won, and came close to winning.

The best validation from this website: When you're having a conversation with someone, and a troll decides to insert themselves with their dumb "hot take," and then they're absolutely owned to the point that they get frustrated, grab their ball and go home (read: press "block.")

I've seen the script for this.
Narrator voice:
"He was a journalist, on a deadline, with a full inbox.
She was a publicist, just trying to land some earned media.
Joshua H. Savannah B. Starring in...
YOU'VE GOT E-MAIL"

Elex seems super-surprised that two guests from different sides of the political spectrum can engage in civil dialogue on TV.
Wait until he finds out Bill Maher has been doing this for over 20 years on HBO. (And, also, on CNN for the past two years!)
What's next for @katieporterca and @SteveHiltonx?
Hilton: "not ruling out" another run for office.
Porter: "I don't think I'm ready to run again."
Porter, a Democrat, and Hilton, a Republican, found a few areas of common ground while running for California Governor.
Hilton liked her answer on minimum wage. Porter liked his tax plan.
"If you're not able to talk to the other side...you're not going to hang on and really find solutions."

Can confirm. Very nice to close the laptop on Friday, and hang out with my partner and our close friends, none of whom are in the journalism or PR industries.
We know a lot of state workers, though. Different kind of interesting people.
sorry this journalism vs pr nonsense is one of the biggest signs that some of you desperately need friends that are outside of your field of work
