McDonald’s always-broken ice cream machines might finally get easier to fix. That’s because the US Copyright Office granted an exemption allowing third parties to diagnose and repair commercial equipment — including the ones that make your McFlurries.

Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko ridiculed McDonald’s on Friday, after the company announced it would be replaced by a Russian franchise following its departure over the Ukraine conflict.

“Why, can’t we cut a bun in half and shove a piece of meat, potatoes and salad in between? God, who even consumes this? I don’t know.” He said.

Starting Tuesday, McDonald’s in Belarus will operate under the brand ‘Vkusno i tochka’, or ‘Tasty and That’s It’, the Russian chain that took over the U.S. burger group in Russia in June.

NPR is Not Your Friend

NPR is a problem. Good and proper leftists who read Current Affairs may already realize this. “Of course. NPR (Neoliberal Propaganda Radio) is a bastion of establishment groupthink and orthodoxy that gives cover to imperialism and corporate capitalism.” By contrast, readers on the Right who find themselves consuming Current Affairs may have an equally disdainful but entirely different critique. “Of course. NPR is an elitist liberal propaganda cult that serves as a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party, is openly hostile to any conservative voices, and ought to be defunded!”
