The company also said it has not and will not employ so-called fact-checkers.
Go 95% on your first sprint then try to match that number in subsequent rounds. Stay on the rower for the full 25 minutes, but row easy for the recovery intervals.

Preparation
In a deep skillet or pot over medium heat, melt butter (2 Tbsp). Add chopped onion (½ cup), minced garlic (2 cloves), chopped celery (½ cup), and chopped fennel (½ cup, optional); sauté for 4–5 minutes until soft and aromatic.
Stir in tomato paste (1 Tbsp) and cook for 1 minute to deepen the flavor. Add crushed tomatoes (1½ cups), white wine (½ cup), and seafood broth (1½ cups). Stir in dried oregano (½ tsp), dried thyme (½ tsp), red pepper flakes (¼ tsp, optional), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, for 10–12 minutes to meld flavors.
Add fish chunks (6 oz) and simmer for 3–4 minutes. Then add shrimp (6 medium), scallops (6), and mussels (6). Cover and cook for 4–5 minutes, until the mussels open and the seafood is cooked through (discard any unopened mussels).
Stir in butter (2 Tbsp) and heavy cream (2 Tbsp); simmer for 1–2 minutes more to incorporate the richness.
Ladle stew into bowls, drizzle with olive oil (1 Tbsp), and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Last week Google admitted YouTube wrongly removed users during the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 election, even acknowledging that the bans came under pressure from the Biden administration. The company now says those restrictions have been lifted and previously banned creators will be allowed back on the platform. Google stressed that it values free expression and never used fact-checkers to police content, but critics note the damage was already done—political and medical speech was silenced at a critical moment. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) called the reversal a victory against censorship, underscoring how government influence over Big Tech stifled debate during pivotal events.
