- Tech firm Nvidia has lost hundreds of billions of dollars in market value since the revelations that its CEO, Jensen Huang, had an affair with a woman suspected of being a spy for China. Huang, as well as the company, are now being sued by investors for covering up the affair and thus allegedly defrauding shareholders. I imagine Huang's wife has a few questions about the matter as well.
- A group of activists stormed a Microsoft data centre under construction in Amsterdam and hung banners related to the company's services to ICE and the IDF while another group of protesters, not directly connected to the raiders, remained outside; the latter group were part of a European wide campaign by a group called "Stop Dirty Data Centres" that also held protests in Bristol, Warsaw, and Zagreb.
- A Newfoundland man, Alex O'Driscoll, was visited by the RCMP after the US Secret Service flagged a Facebook comment that he had allegedly made on a thread about what Canadians should do if the US were to invade. O'Driscoll had allegedly written "Shoot him on sight", referring to Trump; he does not recall writing this but doesn't deny it either. He has since deleted his Facebook account. The RCMP told him that they do not believe that he is a threat but warned him that he may be banned from entering the US as a result, something that doesn't particularly bother him.
- A Brandon man was arrested after a Remembrance Day poppy donation box containing around $1,000 was stolen from a business. The man, who was reportedly intoxicated, was arrested nearby.
- A man who apparently fancied himself the Chinese version of Marvin Heemeyer was arrested after damaging a government building with an excavator.
- A New York resident named Carole Blank Brown got a vanity plate that said "BLANK" in honour of her maiden name. Unfortunately, she ended up getting hit with $40,000 in outstanding parking tickets that had been issued to vehicles with no plates - with the parking officers writing "blank" in the relevant field. She eventually got the tickets thrown out and has surrendered the plate.
