Former Blizzard employee slams Overwatch's new Pride Month video
ALBAWABA - In reference to the 2021 sexual harassment lawsuit and the toxic work environment allegations, Activision Blizzard is once again the talk of social media after a former employee criticized Overwatch's recently shared "Happy Pride Month" video. Blizzard's former game developer, who goes by the name "Kuro" on X (formerly known as Twitter), took to their account and accused the popular corporation of trying to "save face," despite facing a lawsuit from several former employees. Kuro wrote, "You guys enabled people to sexually assault me and other LGBT people at the company then tried to ruin our lives by running to HR claiming we were responsible for getting assaulted then hijacked the initiatives we created so you could try and save face while we were suing you." An X user took to the Overwatch team's defense, stating that they had nothing to do with the allegations mentioned above and wrote, "The Overwatch dev team had nothing to do with any of that stuff tho." Moreover, several others claimed that most sexual assault and toxic environment allegations were aimed at developers from the World of Warcraft team. you guys enabled people to sexually assault me and other LGBT people at the company then tried to ruin our lives by running to HR claiming we were responsible for getting assaulted then hijacked the initiatives we created so you could try and save face while we were suing you — kuro (@ashlykuro) June 1, 2025 This all comes in after the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) filed a lawsuit against Blizzard in 2021, alleging that the company cultivated a hostile and toxic working environment, including the sexual harassment of female workers. Additionally, LGBTQ employees also reported suffering from a toxic environment during their time there, further claiming that they were targeted with stereotypical jokes about queer culture, as reported by Inverse. A former LGBTQ employee stated, "I never really felt like it was a safe place, to begin with." Three years ago, several employees who were nursing mothers reported that their breast milk had allegedly been stolen from fridges located in Blizzard's dedicated lactation facilities. Moreover, they also accused other employees of placing beer inside the fridges in question, sparking further outrage on social media, as reported by CNN.

Charlie Kirk: Islam is not compatible with Western civilization
ALBAWABA - American conservative political activist Charlie Kirk recently sparked outrage on X (formerly known as Twitter) after taking to his account and writing, "Islam is not compatible with Western civilization." As of recently, the far-right activist has been the subject of ongoing controversy for his political views and opinions on religion. His latest post on X is no exception, sparking a wave of division, with social media users either supporting Charlie Kirk or strongly opposing his views on Islam. Fellow X user Zhang Yong clapped back at Kirk and wrote, "Charlie your smile is not compatible with society," following a picture mocking the political activist's appearance. Another took to Kirk's defense and wrote, "This is, unfortunately, becoming more and more apparent." Charlie Kirk rose to fame after founding a non-profit organization named "Turning Point USA," which aims to advocate conservative views in educational institutions such as high schools and universities. Videos of his heated debates with students on campus garnered millions of views and followers across social media due to their controversial nature. The American conservative political activist presents himself as an individual who praises Christian nationalism and advocates for the teachings of Jesus Christ and against "Woke" culture. While he initially took a more secular and libertarian stance in politics, his views have undergone a drastic shift since then, leading to his current conservative and Christian nationalist stance.

Secret U.S. nuclear proposal allows limited uranium enrichment in Iran
ALBAWABA- A new U.S. proposal to revive nuclear talks with Iran would permit Tehran to enrich uranium at low levels and retain parts of its nuclear infrastructure, according to a report by Axios. Also Read Iran offers a-year enrichment freeze if U.S. releases frozen funds Two sources with direct knowledge of its contents describe the proposal, which outlines a temporary, low-level enrichment framework under strict international oversight. While the plan forbids the construction of new enrichment sites and mandates dismantling key uranium conversion infrastructure, it also envisions a regional enrichment consortium. It allows existing above-ground enrichment for civilian nuclear energy use, capped at 3% concentration, per International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) guidelines. Significantly, the plan calls for Iran's underground enrichment sites to become non-operational for a negotiated period and imposes a halt on research and development of new centrifuge technology. The package also includes a robust monitoring and verification regime, including automatic adoption of the IAEA's Additional Protocol. Sanctions relief would only come after Iran proves to both the U.S. and the IAEA that it is complying in good faith. The offer, delivered Saturday by White House envoy Steve Witkoff, appears to contradict public assertions by senior American officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who have repeatedly stated that Washington would not tolerate any uranium enrichment by Iran or allow the survival of its nuclear program. While the Biden-era nuclear framework had collapsed amid mutual distrust, this new proposal marks the Trump administration's first formal step toward a negotiated settlement. However, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that Tehran remains unconvinced, citing the absence of explicit assurances regarding lifting sanctions. He added that Iran is still reviewing the offer and pushed back on claims that the proposal is acceptable.
