His religious thought is well remembered today — but his resolutely socialist thinking and agitating is not. A bust of Paul Tillich at Paul Tillich Park in New Harmony, Indiana.

The panel investigating the attack on the Capitol is demanding information from Alphabet, Meta, Reddit and Twitter. WASHINGTON — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol issued subpoenas on Thursday to four major social media companies — Alphabet, Meta, Reddit and Twitter — criticizing them for allowing extremism to spread on their platforms and saying they have failed to cooperate adequately with the inquiry. In letters accompanying the subpoenas, the panel named Facebook, a unit of Meta, and YouTube, which is owned by Alphabet's Google subsidiary, as among the worst offenders that contributed to the spread of misinformation and violent extremism. The committee said it had been investigating how the companies "contributed to the violent attack on our democracy, and what steps — if any — social media companies took to prevent their platforms from being breeding grounds for radicalizing people to violence." "It's disappointing that after ...

The stock market can be fickle, particularly in the short term. But over time, companies that continue to deliver strong financial results are rewarded, along with their shareholders. That's why it pays to invest in equities that are arguably trading below their intrinsic value. Let's consider two stocks currently priced at only a fraction of what Wall Street analysts think they are worth: Block (NYSE:SQ) and Chegg (NYSE:CHGG) .  SQ data by YCharts 1. Block: Implied upside of 95.5% Block, the company is formerly known as Square, changed its name in December to reflect the fact that it has evolved beyond the business that first made it famous. Block initially burst onto the scene and rose to prominence thanks to the suite of products it offered small and medium-sized sellers and merchants: the ability to turn almost any mobile device into a point-of-sale system. But now, it provides much more than that, and in particu...

'Political Correctness', a popular buzzword, is being thrown around a lot these days. There has been a steady rise of intense debate surrounding its merits, demerits and even the validity of its existence. What do we understand by PC? In simpler words, political correctness refers to abolishing speech, behaviour, or action that harms or excludes a group that is already subjected to discrimination in some shape or form. The term's origin can be traced back to the multicultural landscape of the US and in the struggles, its minority groups experience in obtaining their rights. Owing to globalisation and English is utilised as the medium of international discourse, PC culture has been slowly spreading to other corners of the world as well. Representation in media One of the fields where the influence of PC (politically correctness) culture is heavily felt is the mainstream media. Starting from the all-female cast of Ghostbusters (20...

The Pixel Launcher is one hallmark of Made by Google phones that has remained relatively unchanged over the years. Google is now letting you disable weather from appearing at the top of the Pixel Launcher in At a Glance. To customize At a Glance, you long-press on the widget and tap "Preferences," which is also accessible from Assistant Settings > Personalization. Google recently added "Weather — Current weather information" as a toggle that you can disable.

This applies to both the Pixel Launcher and lockscreen/always-on display (AOD), as well as Google app widget — which is available on other phones but cannot be sim...

Most of Google's apps received Material You-themed redesigns ahead of Android 12's official launch last year, including Maps, Play, and Photos. There's a handful of services that have yet to receive a visual refresh, with Google News chief among them. While the app has yet to get a full Material You redesign, an updated look is currently being tested with a select group of users. While there's no dynamic theming to be seen here just yet, the new design does manage to look pretty fresh. Google News now uses bigger, bolder lettering than the old UI for its headings, even renaming its main display as "Your briefing." The weather icon at the top has been replaced with a new pill-shaped button, matching the Material You design guidelines and hinting at more changes to come in the future.

CAMPAIGN OF THE CENTURY Kennedy, Nixon, and the Election of 1960 By Irwin F. Gellman For Richard Nixon, the holiday season of 1960 was a sullen affair. Weeks before, on Nov. 8, he had lost an exceedingly close presidential election to Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. Near the end of December, while President-elect Kennedy received national security briefings at his family's estate in Palm Beach, Nixon hosted a cheerless Christmas party at home in Washington. "We won," he groused to his guests, "but they stole it from us." Nixon's complaint — which, today, has a dismally familiar ring — is the central contention of "Campaign of the Century," by the historian Irwin F. Gellman. For more than two decades now, Gellman has undertaken a rolling rehabilitation of Richard Nixon. In previous books, he cast a sympathetic glow on Nixon's years in Congress and reframed Nixon's relationship with Dwight D. Eisenhower, whom he served loyally but a...

Hyderabad: Telangana Finance Minister T Harish Rao said that chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's decision to introduce English medium education in government schools is making the BJP and Congress unhappy because they don't want children of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward castes, and the poor who predominantly go to public schools to study. Addressing the media on Sunday, Harish Rao targetted the opposition on a range of issues from Dalit Bandhu to Central assistance to the state. "I don't understand why Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay and TPCC Chief Revanth Reddy are feeling the heat when CM KCR wants to introduce English medium in public schools. I think they are just worried that our government will get the credit for doing a great job," he said.
