Google Workers Demand ICE Divestment

Country music singer Brantley Gilbert performed at Turning Point USA's "All-American Halftime Show" on Sunday, an event organized to counter the Super Bowl halftime show. The event, which featured Kid Rock as the headliner along with Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett, was held in response to the Super Bowl halftime show, according to Fox News.

Gilbert, who has been performing professionally since 2007 and released his debut album in 2009, was one of four performers at the Turning Point USA event, Fox News reported. The event was held as an alternative to the Super Bowl halftime show.

In other news, the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games officially began with a vibrant opening ceremony split across four locations, BBC World reported. The primary venue was Milan's San Siro stadium, with elements of the ceremony also taking place in Cortina, Livigno, and Predazzo. Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli performed a rendition of Nessun Dorma as the torch entered the San Siro.

Meanwhile, the award-winning fantasy game series Baldur's Gate is being turned into a TV series, according to BBC Technology. The show will be headed up by Craig Mazin, who also made 2019 hit Chernobyl, and will continue where the game series left off. However, Baldur's Gate developers Larian Studios will not be directly involved in the adaptation.

Also, Google executives are facing pressure from staff over the company's ties to the federal government's crackdown on immigration enforcement, BBC Technology reported. In an open letter published on Friday, nearly 900 full-time Google employees demanded more transparency over what the company's technology is being used for inside the US government. A Google employee of seven years said he found it "mind-boggling" that Google was maintaining its ties with the immigration enforcers.

Finally, the question of US intervention in Iran is a personal one for some Iranians, BBC World reported. Mojdeh and her husband, who traveled to Tehran to visit family, found themselves stranded due to protests and flight cancellations. "Life was on pause," Mojdeh said, especially at night, when the internet and even phone networks went dark.
