In his first stand-up special since the infamous incident at the 2022 Oscars, Chris Rock finally gave his rebuttal to Will Smith, boasting that he took the hit like Manny Pacquiao. In Selective Outrage, streamed live on Netflix, Rock touched on “wokeness,” hypersensitivity, and selective outrage while discussing contemporary issues, including virtuous signalling, high-priced yoga pants, the Duchess of Sussex, the Kardashians, abortion rights, the U.S.Capitol riot, and the American obsession with attention. Although he did not focus on the 2022 Oscars, he occasionally riffed on the strangeness of Snoop Dogg being such a revered pitchman. However, an hour into his set, Rock delved into the notorious moment at the Oscars when Smith struck him. Prior to Selective Outrage, Rock had been touring new material as part of his Ego Death tour for the past year, often mixing jokes and reflections on the slap.

Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway and husband are divorcingWASHINGTON (AP) — Kellyanne Conway, a senior presidential adviser in the Trump White House, and her husband, attorney George Conway, a prominent critic of the former president, say they are divorcing.

While Kellyanne Conway defended Trump at every turn, her husband wrote tweets and articles and appeared on news shows to condemn his actions. He helped found the Lincoln Project, which sought Trump's defeat in 2020. In their statement, the couple asked that their privacy be respected and said they appreciated those who “know us, care for us, and support us.”The Associated Press

Smith government wastes generational opportunity in AlbertaIn its first budget, the Smith government had a golden opportunity to use Alberta’s surpluses—fuelled by a temporary windfall in resource revenue—to improve the province for the long-term. When resource revenue is high, the province enjoys surpluses and largely spends them away, but once resource revenue inevitably declines, the province falls into deficits. Finally, the government could have used the surpluses to re-establish a rainy-day account based on the previous Alberta Sustainability Fund. After determining a stable amount of resource revenue to include in the budget annually, the government would automatically save any resource revenue above that amount in this rainy-day account to be withdrawn in years when resource revenue falls below the stable amount. In its first budget, the Smith government squandered an opportunity to forge a new fiscal path in Alberta and sustain the province’s finances for the future.
