A former Comcast retail employee alleges that a Connecticut store manager tied the lowest-performing salesperson to a chair each month and had co-workers smash a cream pie into their face, recording the incidents as a sales-motivation tactic. The plaintiff says he resigned after reporting the alleged assaults and is seeking damages for constructive discharge and emotional distress. Ars Technica reports: A Comcast store in Plainville, Connecticut, "had a policy that the highest-ranked Retail Sales Consultant for the prior month was instructed by his or her supervisor -- Ms. Peterson, the Comcast Store manager -- to tie the lowest-ranked sales consultant for the prior month to a chair in the back office and thereafter assault that person by violently smashing a cream pie in their face," the complaint alleged (PDF).
Plaintiff David Figueroa's lawsuit said he was hired as a retail sales consultant on February 2, 2026, and was supervised by store manager Sully Fuentes Peterson. Figueroa alleges that Peterson "designed and implemented" the pie-in-face ritual to meet goals related to sales and positive responses in customer surveys.
"Defendant did not inform the Plaintiff prior to his acceptance of Defendant's offer of employment that the Comcast Store has a policy of subjecting Retail Sales Consultants to public assaults by co-workers -- at the direction of Ms. Peterson, the store manager -- for the purpose of increasing Defendant's sales and profitability," the lawsuit said.
Figueroa resigned on February 27, and he alleges it was a constructive discharge. The lawsuit says the defendant, Comcast, was negligent because it "reasonably should have known" about the store management's policies and that the policies could harm employees. Comcast "failed to properly supervise the Comcast Store's management team," allowing store management to humiliate employees "for the purpose of promoting the Defendant's revenues and profits," the lawsuit alleged. Comcast said in a statement: "The Company has zero tolerance for harassment, humiliation, or any behavior that compromises a respectful and safe workplace. This matter is in litigation so we will not comment on the specific allegations, other than to say that we disagree with the claims in the complaint and its characterization of the alleged events, and intend to fully respond through the legal process."

ZOETERMEER (ANP) - Consumenten zullen in september, als de nieuwe oogst geplukt wordt, genoegen moeten nemen met kleinere vruchten en daardoor zijn ze ook duurder. Dat zegt John Kusters, voorzitter van de Nederlandse Fruittelers Organisatie (NFO). De reden is de droogte in heel Europa.
"De kleinere Europese oogst heeft een prijsopdrijvend effect", aldus Kusters. Door de vele zonuren is de kwaliteit wel goed volgens hem. "Door de zonuren zijn de suikers nu al hoog. Daardoor zal er smakelijk fruit geconsumeerd kunnen worden. Wel is er veel hagel gevallen, waardoor er wat uiterlijke schade is. De consument kan de teler helpen als zij ook appels en peren met een plekje kopen."
Het is voor de telers door de droogte wel een uitdaging om de gewassen te koelen en van voldoende water te voorzien, aldus Kusters. "Als ze niet meer gekoeld kunnen worden, verbrandt de schil. Wat je overhoudt is een onverkoopbaar product. Omdat telers hun product maar een keer per jaar kunnen verkopen, zal het voor telers die dat treffen een dramatisch jaar worden."
MAASTRICHT (ANP) - Gezondheids- en voedingsbedrijf dsm-firmenich wil de komende twee jaar ongeveer 1000 banen schrappen om kosten te besparen, maakte het bedrijf donderdag bekend.
Het bedrijf heeft het reorganisatieprogramma inmiddels "volledig in gang gezet" en dit gebeurt in nauw overleg met de ondernemingsraden. Dsm-firmenich verwacht hiermee jaarlijks 100 miljoen euro aan kosten te besparen.
Wereldwijd heeft dsm-firmenich meer dan 28.500 mensen in dienst. Waar de banen precies verdwijnen, is nog niet bekend. Wel bevestigt een woordvoerder dat ook in Nederland banen verdwijnen, al is nog onduidelijk hoeveel.
"Het is een wereldwijd besparingsprogramma. Maar waar precies en hoeveel moet nog allemaal besproken worden met de sociale partners", aldus de zegsman. Volgens hem verdwijnen er ook banen via natuurlijk verloop.
HERAKLION (ANP/AFP) - De Nederlandse reisorganisatie Sunweb heeft 252 reizigers in veiligheid gebracht op Kreta vanwege een bosbrand die daar woedt. Dat bevestigt het bedrijf na berichtgeving door het AD.
De reizigers zijn woensdag uit voorzorg met transferbussen naar andere accommodaties op Kreta overgebracht. Alle reizigers van Sunweb op het Griekse eiland zijn veilig en er zijn geen gewonden, stelt de reisorganisatie. Sunweb is ook bezig om het vervoer voor vertrekkende en aankomende reizigers te regelen en houdt de situatie "nauwlettend in de gaten".
Inmiddels is een weg op het eiland tussen Heraklion, waar het vliegveld ligt, en vakantiedorp Agia Galini weer open, laat Sunweb donderdag rond het middaguur weten. "Transfers van reizigers die vandaag aankomen, kunnen daardoor volgens planning doorgaan." De geëvacueerde reizigers worden donderdagmiddag "geleidelijk teruggebracht naar hun oorspronkelijke verblijf", voegt de zegsvrouw toe.
Griekenland heeft in de zomer vaak te maken met natuurbranden. Ook nu woeden op verschillende plekken in het land branden.
AMSTERDAM (ANP) - De rechtbank in Amsterdam heeft een miljardenclaim van Shell afgewezen. De gastak van Shell had een vergoeding van enkele chemiebedrijven geëist omdat die de prijs van ethyleen jarenlang te laag zouden hebben gehouden. Ethyleen is een vloeibaar gas dat de basis vormt voor onder meer plastic verpakkingen.
Grote ethyleenbedrijven zouden informatie hebben uitgewisseld en daarmee de prijs naar beneden hebben gehaald. De rechtbank concludeert dat dit niet is vast te stellen.
De Europese Commissie beboette in 2020 het Zwitserse chemiebedrijf Clariant, het Mexicaanse Orbia en de Amerikaanse producent Celanese voor een totaal van 260 miljoen euro vanwege illegale prijsafspraken op de handelsmarkt voor ethyleen. Maar Brussel heeft toen niet uitgezocht of die praktijken daadwerkelijk effect hadden op de prijs, aldus de rechtbank. Volgens de rechter hadden alle marktdeelnemers, dus ook Shell, bovendien kennis van de belangrijkste factoren voor de prijs van ruwe aardolie en de beschikbare hoeveelheid ethyleen.
Even diep ademhalen voordat je een belangrijke beslissing neemt? Het klinkt als een goed idee om zo een verstandige keuze te maken. Maar nieuw wetenschappelijk onderzoek laat zien dat die bekende ontspanningstechniek misschien juist het tegenovergestelde doet.
Voor het onderzoek kregen 41 jonge volwassenen een reeks financiële gokkeuzes voorgeschoteld terwijl ze in een MRI-scanner lagen. De deelnemers moesten beslissen of ze een 50/50-gok accepteerden of afwezen. Dat deden ze twee keer: één keer met een normale ademhaling en één keer met een techniek waarbij ze twee seconden inademden en vervolgens acht seconden uitademden.
Die verlengde uitademing is geen onbekende methode. Militairen, politie en hulpdiensten gebruiken het al jaren om kalm te blijven onder druk. De techniek activeert namelijk het parasympathische zenuwstelsel, oftewel de rust- en herstelmodus van het lichaam. Maar juist tijdens die ontspannen toestand gebeurde iets opvallends.
Meer oog voor de beloning
De deelnemers kozen tijdens de langzame uitademing vaker voor de risicovolle optie. Opmerkelijk genoeg werden ze niet minder gevoelig voor mogelijke verliezen. In plaats daarvan kregen ze simpelweg meer aandacht voor de mogelijke beloning.
Hersenscans bevestigden dat beeld. Gebieden die betrokken zijn bij het inschatten van de waarde van een keuze en het verwerken van lichamelijke gevoelens werden actiever naarmate de ontspanning groter was. Volgens de onderzoekers laat dit zien dat onze lichamelijke toestand niet alleen invloed heeft op hoe we ons voelen, maar ook op de manier waarop we beslissingen nemen.
Nog geen reden om ademhalingsoefeningen af te zweren
Toch waarschuwen de wetenschappers voor te snelle conclusies. Het onderzoek was klein, bestond uitsluitend uit gezonde twintigers en draaide om kunstmatige gokken in een laboratorium. Of hetzelfde effect optreedt bij belangrijke beslissingen in het dagelijks leven, zoals beleggen, solliciteren of een huis kopen, is nog onbekend.
De uitkomsten betekenen dus niet dat ademhalingsoefeningen slecht zijn. Integendeel: eerder onderzoek laat zien dat ze stress kunnen verminderen en de bloeddruk kunnen verlagen. Wel suggereert deze studie dat een ontspannen lichaam je blik subtiel kan verschuiven richting wat je kunt winnen.
Dus de volgende keer dat je vlak voor een grote financiële of zakelijke beslissing een paar keer extra diep ademhaalt, is het misschien goed om jezelf nog één extra vraag te stellen: kies ik nu echt verstandiger of voelt de beloning gewoon aantrekkelijker?

This essay originally appeared in The Guardian.
I teach public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Munk School at the University of Toronto. And it will come as no surprise to you that my students regularly use AI to complete their writing assignments. Doing so is a waste of their tuition money. But if their entire career is going to include AI writing assistants, why shouldn’t they embrace their future?
The best way I’ve found to explain the dilemma comes from the AI researcher Daniel Meissler: it’s the difference between work and the gym.
At work, if your job is to move a bunch of heavy things from one side of the room to another, you should use whatever assistive tech you have on hand: a wagon, a forklift… even an AI-powered robot. But at the gym, it makes no sense for that robot to lift weights for you. The point of weightlifting isn’t to move heavy things across the room; it’s to actually lift those heavy things.
The same analysis holds for any task an AI can do for you. If it’s work—if the task has to be done and no one cares how—then it’s fine to use AI assistance. But if the task is more like the gym, and how the task is done is at least as important, then it probably doesn’t make sense to use AI.
This, of course, assumes that the AI is actually up for the task and that it’s trustworthy: that it can do the job well, that its mistakes are minimal and correctable, that it’s been secured from cyber-attacks that would influence its results. Those are all important, and shouldn’t be minimized. There’s no point giving an AI something that it can’t do reliably. But once you’re confident that the AI can perform the task, the work vs. gym distinction helps you decide if it should.
The writing assignments I give my students are gym tasks, not work tasks. I ask them to write policy memos not because the world needs more policy memos. I assign them because the very act of writing, which includes thinking and outlining and drafting and editing, making and criticizing and revising arguments, will help develop the critical thinking skills they will need in their future careers. And without this constant mental exercise, those skills will atrophy. Employers are already noticing.
Reading the assignments they turn in, I can see those skills either flourishing or atrophying in my students. At least today, I can pretty easily tell the difference between an AI-written memo and a student-written one—especially if the student just turns in what the chatbot produces. It’s a catchy, plausible, grammatically perfect essay that’s not particularly well-crafted or logically coherent—and with all the tells of mid-2026 AI-generated writing.
But it’s precisely because I have spent years developing my own writing skills that I’m able to identify prose that sounds great but doesn’t actually make sense. My students don’t have that skill; they mistakenly view a confident, well-written essay as evidence of the quality of their ideas. They see the AI as cleaning those ideas up, getting them through that uncomfortable stretch of having to turn those ideas into prose. What the students miss is that their initial discomfort is a normal and healthy stage of writing, and not something to quickly get beyond. The very act of struggling with how to express what they think is an important part of the process. It’s how they test out their ideas, examine their hypotheses, and actually figure out what they think. Homework is not work; it’s the gym.
Work vs. gym also helps us understand the problem facing creatives of all kinds.
Most of the time when someone hires a writer, they just need the words. They need an instruction manual for a piece of equipment, a detailed sales presentation, a government-mandated disclosure document, or a legal brief. They need dry, predictable, accurate writing: a piece of work, exactly what AIs are good at today and what I don’t want in my student assignments. Only sometimes is writing an art form—a book, a poem, an uplifting political speech. That kind of writing is more like the gym: process matters just as much as product.
For most of human history, the only option for all of these tasks was human writers. We hired one regardless of whether we needed work writing or gym writing. And that paid a lot of writers’ salaries. I know fiction writers who supported that poorly paying career with lucrative technical writing work. Now, for the first time in human history, we can separate out when we need writing as work and when we want writing as gym. And if AI can do most of the work-type writing, society doesn’t need as many human writers.
It’s the same for visual artists. Sometimes we need an actual artist, but most of the time we just need an image: a corporate mascot, a “beware of the dog” sign, or a packaging label. Historically we gave those jobs to artists, and sometimes beautiful art resulted. But most of the time it was just work. And, as it turns out, the world needs less pure art than simple images.
Explaining the problem isn’t the same as providing the solution. I give my students the “work versus gym” speech every class, but they still use AI. I have sympathy: assignments are hard, everyone is overworked and overstressed, and—most importantly—students feel like they’ll look bad in comparison if their peers are all using AI. Even if they don’t want to use the technology, they feel like they have no choice.
There’s also an incentive problem. No one pays us to go to the gym; maintaining healthy habits requires discipline. For me, the payoffs to exercise—fewer aches and pains, less fatigue, better mood/stress management—might make me a better writer and teacher, but they’re subtle and easy to miss. For my students, incremental improvements in their reasoning and writing are equally subtle.
We do have a choice. We can look at the tasks of our lives and separate them into work or gym. Just as we might choose to use the stairs instead of the elevator, or walk instead of calling an Uber, we can wall off our cognitive gym tasks from AI and ensure that we don’t lose our skills to this technology. And we can do the same when we assign a job to someone else. If it’s a work task, we can have AI do it. If it’s a gym task, it’s a waste of everyone’s time to give it to an AI because no one learns or gets stronger as a result.
Similarly, a future where AI generates words and images is one where society has to make choices about how it will treat its creatives. This won’t be the first time—today there is minimal demand for portrait painters, for example—but maybe this time we can make different, more deliberate, choices about the value of art in our society.
AI is going to fundamentally change the nature of work. Not nearly as fast as the AI companies want you to believe, but eventually it will. Policy analysis will definitely involve AI from now on, and my students need to reimagine what it means to learn and practice that skill. More generally, the line between work and gym will change in the future as we humans adapt ourselves to a world with these new intelligences.
But for now, the work vs. gym distinction is pretty clear. Use it on yourself.
With support for MySQL Galera Cluster ending in two months, open source observers are again questioning how much of the technology's future MariaDB plc intends to keep in the community edition. The company says Galera remains a core, open source component of MariaDB while it develops separate replication capabilities for enterprise customers. In March, MariaDB, the company behind the database forked from MySQL, reversed course and announced that MariaDB Community Server 12.3 would continue to include the Galera Cluster libraries. Galera is GPLv2-licensed database clustering technology created by Codership Oy, which MariaDB plc acquired in May 2025. Developers had previously noticed the clustering libraries were being removed from future versions of MariaDB Community Server, the open source database stewarded by the MariaDB Foundation. Frédéric Descamps, open source evangelist at the MariaDB Foundation, said at the time that there had been a "friendly reset" in the company's relationship with the open source community. He added that the concerns about the future of Galera in MariaDB were a "predictable outcome of people caring about continuity." Those concerns have resurfaced as the September 30 end-of-life date approaches for MySQL Galera Cluster. Announcing the decision in December, Max Mether, co-founder and vice president of server product management at MariaDB plc, urged users to migrate, saying: "This extended timeline gives your team ample opportunity to leverage the new in-place migration method and secure your future with MariaDB Galera Cluster." He also said the company was focusing innovation and new feature development exclusively on MariaDB Galera Cluster. "This consolidation allows the combined engineering team to deliver more powerful and advanced clustering features, ensuring industry-leading high availability for MariaDB," he said. Others have questioned whether migrating from MySQL to MariaDB is a price worth paying to remain with Galera. In a social media post, Marco Tusa, MySQL Technical leader at open source consultancy Percona, said: "Migrating to MariaDB isn't a simple 'drop-in' binary swap. Years of divergence in data dictionaries, [transaction] formats, and system tables mean moving to MariaDB is essentially adopting a completely different database." Percona provides its own alternative clustering technology for MySQL, XtraDB Cluster (PXC), which it says is open source with no proprietary hurdles. The consultancy also maintains its own tracking fork of Galera with critical stability fixes. In response, Descamps said that for users who specifically want to remain on the MySQL codebase, PXC proposes an "understandable and practical transition." However, he added that remaining aligned with upstream MySQL would leave users dependent on Oracle's long-term decisions for the database. "It may be the most convenient path for preserving today's MySQL compatibility, but that does not automatically make it the clearest long-term open source strategy," he said. He added: "most of the team that worked on Galera" appear to be developing a more enterprise solution. "Will that become open source one day? That's not the current direction.". Other open source developers would be free to add to Galera, "but currently, the previous Codership team is working on something different," he said. Vikas Mathur, chief product officer at MariaDB plc, said in a statement: "Innovation in the MySQL ecosystem has stalled, and users know it. MySQL customers are actively looking for a database that's moving forward, and that's exactly what we're offering. With the original Galera team now a part of MariaDB, moving to MariaDB Galera Cluster is an upgrade, not a workaround, and we've given users an extended runway through September 2026, plus a near-zero-downtime migration path, to make the move with confidence." The Register understands that maintaining a separate MySQL build no longer fits MariaDB plc's commercial focus. The company nevertheless insists that Galera remains a core component of its platform. Separately, MariaDB is developing proprietary replication capabilities for demanding enterprise use cases. The company says this work follows a distinct development path from open source Galera and will be offered as a premium feature. ®
The Russian espionage crew that turned simply reading an email into a security risk has expanded beyond Zimbra, with Proofpoint saying it's now pulling the same half-click trick against Microsoft Outlook Web Access. Proofpoint says the cyber group it tracks as TA488, or "Laundry Bear," began exploiting CVE-2026-42897, a cross-site scripting flaw in the Outlook Web Access (OWA) component of on-premises Exchange Server, a day before researchers and government agencies exposed the group's abuse of a zero-day in Zimbra Collaboration Suite. Unlike conventional phishing attacks, this one doesn't depend on persuading the victim to follow a link or download a file. If a target opens the booby-trapped message in OWA, the browser executes attacker-controlled JavaScript inside the victim's authenticated mail session. Exchange Online is not affected. According to Proofpoint, TA488 abused the OWA flaw to target government organizations in the US and Europe, along with telecommunications, financial services, hospitality, and aerospace companies. The researchers said the unusually broad campaign may have been intended to hide among the background noise of everyday email traffic rather than the tightly focused operations more commonly associated with espionage groups. "TA488 appears to demonstrate interest in a wide range of sectors while maintaining priorities for intelligence collection against government and defense," Proofpoint said. "Lure themes remain generic and unremarkable, so the target is more inclined to open and skim the email but ultimately overlook it." Instead of dropping conventional malware onto the endpoint, the attackers deploy a browser implant dubbed OWAReaper that lives entirely inside OWA. Proofpoint says it leaves virtually no host artifacts, communicates over two command-and-control channels, supports multiple methods of exfiltrating data, and survives browser restarts, password changes, and even a complete device rebuild because the foothold resides in the compromised mailbox rather than on Windows itself. CVE-2026-42897 isn't making its debut on The Register. Microsoft disclosed the bug in May following reports that attackers were using it in the wild. Proofpoint's latest report fills in more of the picture, showing the activity formed part of a broader espionage campaign rather than isolated exploitation. Proofpoint believes TA488 may actually have been exploiting the flaw as a zero-day, citing attacker infrastructure that dates back to March, roughly two months before Microsoft's out-of-band patch. If accurate, that would suggest the campaign was underway well before defenders knew there was a vulnerability to fix. "If this is the case, the combined improvement of the malware and the exploit development against a harder target in Outlook Web Access signal a leap in capability by TA488," Proofpoint said. Microsoft did not immediately respond to The Register's questions, but if Proofpoint's assessment holds up, TA488 isn't just recycling an old trick. It's refining one that has already proven capable of slipping past one of the oldest pieces of security advice in the book: don't click suspicious links. ®
Jenrick questioned about latest Guardian revelations
Q: [From ITV’s Romilly Weeks] You say that Reform UK followed all the rules in relation to donations. But why did George Cottrell give $2m to his mother shortly before she made substantial donations to the party?
Jenrick said Reform was certain all the rules were followed. Any questions for Cottrell would have to be directed to him, he said.
It does seem curious that in this case the police have chosen not to take action.
We’ll see whether they take action against the individual who posted the original tweet, who wore the T-shirt. I’m hearing today that the police may have closed that investigation as well. [See 9.20am.]

Most Americans say the war in Iran has not been worth fighting and president Donald Trump’s approval rating on Iran has fallen slightly since last month, according to a new AP-NORC poll.
The results are a stark repudiation of Trump’s approach to the conflict, which has dragged on far longer than he originally predicted.

Kijk het mag hè. Dat je als NRC een hoofdredactioneel commentaar schrijft over "de vrijheid om jezelf te zijn" en daarin ongeveer net zoveel aandacht besteed aan de aanslag in Berlijn, waar een IS-aanhanger met een busje en machetes mensen te lijf ging, als aan het coalitieakkoord in Oldebroek, waar wethouder Tom de Nooijer over het weghalen van de regenboogvlag zei: "We hoeven niet meer elk jaar met een symbolisch ritueeltje te bewijzen dat we echt wel tolerant zijn voor mensen die een andere geaardheid of iets dergelijks hebben."
Het mag ook hè. Dat je in een schizofrene alinea opschrijft: "Migratieachtergrond en leeftijd hangen niet direct samen met verminderde tolerantie, volgens onderzoekers van de UvA. Religie wel: de onderzoekers concluderen dat religieuze jongeren gemiddeld conservatievere opvattingen hebben dan niet-religieuze jongeren, en islamitische jongeren weer conservatievere dan christelijke en andersgelovige jongeren." En dat je er daar niet bij vermeldt dat de onderzoekers 'migratieachtergrond' nogal wel-binair hebben opgevat (en daarmee alle Duitse, Belgische en Britse allochtonen op een hoop hebben gegooid met Syrische, Marokkaanse en Turkse). En hee. Die islamitische jongeren (opvallend: "autochtone" moslims, oftewel de derde generatie, zijn nóg conservatiever dan allochtone moslims) waar zouden die allemaal vandaan komen? Uit Oldebroek?
Daarnaast staat in datzelfde onderzoek van de UvA dat in andere literatuur juist wél een verband gevonden is tussen tolerantie en migratie-achtergrond (mogelijk omdat het daar beter is onderzocht dan door middels deze wereldvreemde dichotome variabele, red.) én werd dat verband juist wel gevonden in onderzoek naar het tevens in het NRC-stuk aangehaalde opvallende cijfer uit Amsterdam over de teruggelopen tolerantie. Raar om dat allemaal niet in je stuk te zetten, maar ja, dat mag allemaal.
De vrijheid om jezelf te zijn geldt ook voor schrijvers van hoofdredactionele commentaren in NRC.

Op achtjarige leeftijd sloot Christian Feyenoorder József Kiprich voorgoed in zijn voetbalhart. De Hongaarse spits met zijn matje, vlassnor en ogenschijnlijk trage loopje werd begin jaren negentig een cultheld in De Kuip. Ruim dertig jaar later reisde Christian Swinkels speciaal naar Hongarije om zijn grote idool te ontmoeten. Wat begon als een droom , eindigde met een biertje op de bank bij de oud-Feyenoorder.
The official, Sergei Bochkarev, oversaw the seizure of Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport, food manufacturer Makfa and gold miner YUGK, among others.
