Listen "AT&Technical Difficulties"
Episode Synopsis
AT&T restored nationwide wireless service after a major outage affecting several U.S. cities, with officials investigating the cause, which did not appear to be a cyberattack, leaving at least 70,000 users without service. A Texas judge ruled that punishing a Black teen for the length of his dreadlocks did not violate the state's CROWN Act, sparking disappointment among natural hair advocates and a vow from the teen's family to continue the legal battle. A U.S. spacecraft, the Odysseus lander, made history by touching down on the moon, becoming the first privately made spacecraft to do so. Former talk show host Wendy Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a disorder affecting behavior, language, and movement. Yale University will reinstate standardized test scores due to the harm on lower-income students caused by test-optional policies, a reversal of their Covid-era policy. President Biden promised "major" sanctions against Russia in response to Alexei Navalny's death during a private meeting with Navalny's widow and daughter, with details to be announced. Nvidia, the chipmaker driving AI advances, saw a 16.4% surge in the stock market, propelling the Dow Jones to a record 39,069 points.
