The first resolution, passed unanimously, condemned the International Olympics Committee’s (IOC) kid-gloved handling of missing tennis star Peng Shuai. Shuai disappeared from public view after she publicly made a sexual harassment complaint against a Chinese political official. The second resolution—approved 428 to 1—promises to cause China even greater aggravation by punishing companies that use forced labor from China’s Uyghur Muslim minority, victims of a ferocious security crackdown that America has labeled genocide....

The resolution calls for the Arizona lightning rod to face a public reprimand on the House floor, as well as his removal from his two committee assignments—House Oversight and Reform and the Committee on Natural Resources.

The new museum also got a lot of notice because of its location. Northwest Arkansas may be the home of the biggest company in the world, but it’s never been an American cultural center. As far as most of the art world was concerned, Bentonville was literally in the middle of nowhere and Alice Walton was a super-rich art enthusiast trying to buy into the big leagues.

While people were supportive of Reid covering his face, helping to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19, they couldn’t help but laugh at the fact his face shield progressively became foggier throughout the night. Reid himself said after the game that wearing it was “brutal.” After seeing how much of a problem it was, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he gave up on his plan to wear a face shield like Reid....

The rumors—and the inevitable march of progress—say that AirPods 3 are due any time now. Some of these rumors, from semi-reliable Chinese site 52 Audio, say that Apple’s next-gen wireless earbuds will adopt many features of the AirPods Pro, maybe even a noise-canceling function. So, what could Apple add to the AirPods to improve them? “Having a smaller stem on the wireless design without compromising the quality would be a good start,” CocoSign co-founder Caroline Lee told Lifewire via email, “and we still haven’t heard anything about waterproofing or water resistance....

Reddit user ThaddeusJP took to the site to post some pre-production images of Hot Wheels’ take on the Batmobile from Robert Pattinson’s The Batman. At 1:64 scale, it’s obviously not going to have the detail of a full-sized vehicle, but without its trademark dark color scheme, it kind of just looks like a regular tiny muscle car. Of course, that’s to be expected since this is a pre-production image. The silver and blue colors are simply those of the parts themselves....
