The Oklahoman: New executive order makes it easier for tribal nations to access federal funds. “The executive order also creates a ‘one-stop-shop’ for federal funding to be available to tribes and Native American businesses through a database called the Tribal Access to Capital Clearinghouse, which was launched at the Tribal Summit, the White House said.”
TWEAKS AND UPDATES
PC Magazine: Google Rolls Out Recovery Tool for Bug That Deleted Drive Files. “In late November, users started noticing missing Google Drive files.

Google now has a potential fix with a new recovery tool.”
Amnesty International: South Korea: Google fails to tackle online sexual abuse content despite complaints by survivors. “Google has failed to fix its flawed system for removing non-consensual sexually violative content from its searches despite a long-running campaign by South Korean women and girls targeted with digital sex crimes, Amnesty International said today – exactly one year after first highlighting the problem.”

RESEARCH & OPINION
Defector: Elon Musk Is Grimly Determined To Let You Know He Is Funny. “Not to take the comedic semiotics of Elon Musk too-too seriously, but the most interesting facet of his dogged, ever-flopping quest to be thought of as a comedy genius as well as a success entrepreneur guy is the ways in which he is consistently five or more years behind the online comedy meta-game.
