The CEO of video game maker TripWire Interactive resigned from his job this week just days after backlash over a tweet in which he expressed support for Texas' new abortion law.
TripWire chief John Gibson, who has been with the privately held video game publisher since its founding in 2005, took to Twitter on September 4 to praise the Supreme Court's decision earlier this month not to block the law. "As an entertainer I don't get political often," Gibson wrote. "Yet, with so many vocal peers on the other side of this issue, I felt it was important to go on the record as a pro-life game developer."Two climbers were waiting to be rescued near the peak of Denali, a colossal mountain that towers over miles of vast tundra in southern Alaska, officials said Wednesday. Originally part of a three-person team that became stranded near the top of the mountain, the climbers put out a distress call more than 30 hours earlier suggesting they were hypothermic and unable to descend on their own, according to the National Park Service.
There's no making up for what Olympic hurdler Lashinda Demus lost on the day she finished .07 seconds behind a Russian opponent who, everyone later learned, was doping. What the American 400-meter hurdles champion will finally receive is a great day under the Eiffel Tower where she'll be presented with the gold medal she was denied 12 years ago at the London Olympics.
