Alec Baldwin is being sued by the family of Marin for slander, as he falsely accused the soldier who was killed in Afghanistan during the 2021 withdrawal, media reported Wednesday.
💸 After the soldier’s death, Baldwin found Rua, one of Marin’s sisters, and sent her a $5,000 check for his widow Jenna Creighton and her newborn, according to a lawsuit.
But then he suddenly another one of his sisters, Roice, of taking part in last year's riots in the nation's capital and called her a "rebel" after she posted an Instagram photo she took on January 6, 2021 at the Washington Monument.
🗣 “Your activities resulted in the unlawful destruction of government property, the death of a law enforcement officer, an assault on the certification of the presidential election. I reposted your photo. Good luck,” Baldwin wrote back, according to the lawsuit.
According to The NY Post, Roice, who attended a demonstration in support of President Donald Trump, was not involved in the riot and was never charged with any crimes during the riot.
Roice was soon assaulted with “hostile, aggressive, hateful” messages from Baldwin’s followers, including one that said, “Get raped and die, worthless c— (kiss emoji). Your brother got what he deserved,” the lawsuit reportedly says

🎮 Microsoft's biggest antitrust test in Europe for its $68.7 billion deal is whether it yanks games from PlayStation
Antitrust regulators at the European Commission are likely to dig their heels in on Microsoft's record-breaking $68.7 billion acquisition of video-game publisher Activision Blizzard. The deal will, according to the announcement, make Microsoft third-biggest in gaming by total revenue, behind Sony and Tencent. Sony's market value plummeted by $20 billion on Wednesday after the news of the deal broke.
How much attention the EU pays to Microsoft may come down to how much it vertically integrates Activision Blizzard into its existing console, mobile, PC, and cloud ecosystems. Activision Blizzard's latest earnings report recorded 390 million monthly active users for the third quarter of 2021.

🏙 New York City Mayor Eric Adams says his first paycheck on Friday will be converted to bitcoin and ether via Coinbase
Adams has been vocal about wanting to transform New York into a bitcoin hub to compete with Miami. The extra step of converting is due to a labor regulation that does not allow New York City to pay its employees in crypto.
"New York is the center of the world, and we want it to be the center of cryptocurrency and other financial innovations," the mayor said in a statement.

✈ Why airlines and telecoms are fighting over the 5G rollout?
Today, as carriers expand their 5G networks across the country, they are faced with an equally dangerous prospect: that one of 5G’s spectrum bands may interfere with the radio altimeters aboard commercial aircraft below 2,500 feet, potentially causing their automated landing controls to misjudge the distance from the ground and crash.
Airlines had canceled more than 320 flights by Wednesday evening, or a little over 2% of the U.S. total, according to FlightAware.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency said it wasn’t aware of any problems on the continent caused by 5G interference. To mitigate airline interference, French telecom providers reduce the strength of their high-speed networks near airports.
Some experts say poor coordination and cooperation among federal agencies is as much to blame as any technical issues. In the meantime, airlines scrambled to adjust to the new reality.
