Lunar New Year: Here’s what to know about the Year of the Snake

On Jan. 29, Asian American communities around the U.S. will ring in the Year of the Snake with community carnivals, family gatherings, parades, traditional food, fireworks and other festivities. In many Asian countries, it is a festival that is celebrated for several days. In diaspora communities, particularly in cultural enclaves, Lunar New Year is visibly and joyfully celebrated. In the Chinese zodiac, 2025 is the Year of the Snake. Different countries across Asia celebrate the new year in many ways and may follow a different zodiac. What is the Lunar New Year? The Lunar New Year — known as the Spring Festival in China, Tet in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea — is a major festival celebrated in several Asian countries. In Taiwan, this year, people have been drawn to the White Snake Temple to pay their respects. In Indonesia, it is celebrated with dragon puppets and drum displays. It is also widely observed by diaspora communities around the world. It begins with the first new moon of the lunar calendar and ends 15 days later on the first full moon. Because the lunar calendar is based on the cycles of the moon, the dates of the holiday vary slightly each year, falling between late January and mid-February. What are the animals of the zodiac? Each year honors an animal based on the Chinese zodiac. The circle of 12 animals — the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig — measure the cycles of time.

How DeepSeek answers questions on China differently than ChatGPT

Chinese tech startup DeepSeek ’s new artificial intelligence chatbot has sparked discussions about the competition between China and the U.S. in AI development, with many users flocking to test the rival of OpenAI‘s ChatGPT. DeepSeek’s AI assistant was the No. 1 downloaded free app on Apple’s iPhone store on Tuesday afternoon, and its launch made Wall Street tech superstars’ stocks tumble. Observers are eager to see whether the Chinese company has matched America’s leading AI companies at a fraction of the cost. The chatbot’s ultimate impact on the AI industry is still unclear, but it appears to censor answers on sensitive Chinese topics, a practice commonly seen on China’s internet. In 2023, China issued regulations requiring companies to conduct a security review and obtain approvals before their products can be publicly launched. Here are some answers The Associated Press received from DeepSeek’s new chatbot and ChatGPT: What does “Winnie-the-Pooh” mean in China? For many Chinese, the Winnie-the-Pooh character is a playful taunt of President Xi Jinping. Chinese censors in the past briefly banned social media searches for the bear in mainland China. ChatGPT got that idea right. It said Winnie-the-Pooh had become a symbol of political satire and resistance, often used to mock or criticize Xi. It explained that internet users compared Xi to the bear because of perceived similarities in their physical appearance...

DashCon, the infamous celebration of Tumblr fandom, is coming back. This time, organizers say it will be different

Anyone well-versed in internet lore will be familiar with the image of a slightly deflated child’s ball pit on a hotel convention room floor. DashCon (originally called Tumblr-Con, although not officially affiliated with Tumblr) was a fan convention held in Schaumburg, Illinois, back in 2014. It was originally intended to bring the Tumblr community together and scheduled to feature vendors and special guests from fandoms like Doctor Who and Sherlock.  After a string of disasters, the weekend culminated in the 17-year-old organizer, Nessie O’Neil, going around with a paper bag asking attendees for donations to make up the roughly $17,000 needed to keep the convention afloat. Afterward, it was immortalized as one of the internet’s most infamous failures.  In the years since, people have tried and failed to bring DashCon back. And now another group is trying to revive DashCon once again—not as a Tumblr convention, but as an internet history con.  In addition to honoring the original event, DashCon 2 will celebrate “a very specific era of fandom culture,” the codirectors wrote on their website. “We want to bring people together to reminisce on an era long past, and to celebrate the local artists, performers, and creators of today.” The new DashCon website did not include the organizers’ last names. They are identified as Avis (“Literally assigned tumblr sexyman at birth”) and Simone (“Goddess of audacious emailing.”) Why now? None of the DashCon 2...

Philadelphia Whole Foods workers just unionized—just as Trump made it harder for them to get a contract

Whole Foods workers at a Philadelphia store voted this week to unionize, becoming the first store at the Amazon-owned grocery chain to do so. But then the Trump administration dealt a blow to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), ousting two officials in a move that labor experts say violates the law—and will hamper worker rights, including around bargaining union contracts.  President Trump fired both the NLRB’s general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo, who was a Biden appointee, and Democratic board member Gwynne Wilcox. Wilcox’s firing is unprecedented and illegal, experts say; it marks the first time in 90 years that a president has fired a board member, and violates a statute that says board members can be removed “for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, but for no other cause.”  Because of existing vacancies, Wilcox’s termination leaves the board with just two members. (The board is meant to have five members when fully staffed.) That means it’s short of the quorum needed to decide any cases—and so the NLRB’s powers to protect workers are, essentially, halted. “What this says is [the Trump administration] is okay with effectively denying workers in this country protection for their right to collectively bargain,” says Sharon Block, executive director of the Center for Labor and a Just Economy at Harvard Law School. “With a board down to just two members, it can’t function. And if it can’t function, then the rights of American workers can’t funct...

Medicaid, SBA loans, student loans, SNAP: What is and isn’t affected by Trump’s freeze on federal grants?

Monday’s memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) pausing federal grants and loans set off a scramble in Washington and across the nation as administrators and individuals tried to figure out how the order would affect funding, from the SBA to Medicaid to the Pell grant program. (It also drew a flurry of lawsuits.) An addendum issued Tuesday has offered a bit more information, but things are still hardly crystal clear. The original memo, from acting director Matthew J. Vaeth, ordered federal agencies to “temporarily pause all activities related to obligations or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance” and conduct a “comprehensive analysis” of their grant and loan programs. Specifically, those analyses were to ensure the programs fell in line with Donald Trump’s executive orders banning federal diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, limiting clean energy spending, and more. Slated to go into effect Tuesday at 5 p.m. ET, the new rules have baffled both federal organizations and private companies that work with them. In an attempt to clarify things, the OMB put out another memo Tuesday, saying the pause was not across the board. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, in her first briefing, also attempted to explain the freeze, but didn’t provide much more clarity other than to reiterate that the ban would not impact individual benefits.Then on Tuesday afternoon, a federal judge temporarily blocked the freeze on federal gran...
