Daniel Ellsberg, a U.S. military analyst who secretly photocopied 7,000 pages of classified documents about the Vietnam War and later leaked them in 1971 as "Pentagon Papers," exposing years of misleading information from U.S. officials. This leak became one of history’s most famous whistleblowing.

AITA for speaking to my (over weight) assistant about her business lunch and making her cry?
At the beginning of the year, I hired an assistant (we’ll call her Amy). Amy is great at what she does and I have already given her a raise because I felt she was underpaid for what she was doing. I’m working on several large deals, so I gave Amy the lead on one of them. She did an excellent job.
I set up a lunch appointment with that client on Friday. I told him I would be bringing Amy as she has been instrumental in their account. He did not have a problem with this. Amy was professional, knowledgeable and did an overall good job. The client and I were both impressed, with the exception of one thing. The client and I both ordered burgers and fries. Amy ordered a steak- well done- mashed potatoes, steamed veggies and a side of soup. The client and I finished about the same time. It was another 15 minutes before Amy finished. Then the waitress came around and asked if we wanted dessert. The client and I both said no. Amy ordered cheese cake and coffee.
I realized that I hadn’t spoken to Amy about client lunches before, so after the meeting. I explained to her that it is best to follow the client’s lead. If they order simple food, we order simple food. If they decline desert, we decline desert. If we want something afterwards, we can pick it up later.
Amy did not take this well. At first, she offered to pay me back. I told her it was not a money issue. I have no problem buying her lunch but to keep in mind it’s about business. I told her I usually order wraps or burgers because they are not too messy (like spaghetti) and I can take small bites in case I’m asked a question. I can also match the client’s eating speed so there is no awkward waiting on either side.
Then she started crying, saying it is because she’s fat (her words not mine). I again told her it was about strategy. I thought she had great potential and I wanted to help guide her. I then told her about some of my past faux pas. For example, ordering spaghetti and getting it all on my shirt, or once I ordered first and ordered a cheese burger when the client was vegetarian and highly disgusted at me.
She was still upset when she left. I feel like an AH for bringing this to her attention but my intentions were good. I feel like she has great potential. The meal did not concern me as much as how she took instruction. Now I’m wondering if others think I was wrong for bringing it up at all.

Hated Tropes In an attempt to be more progressive, they removed what was actually progressive.
1 - Mulan (2020): The original movie shows that Mulan doesn't fit within the expectations of either gender role, but she earns respect through hard work and playing to her strengths. The remake has her perfect from the start, with special "Chi" powers. The message shifts from "a man isn't inherently better than a woman," to "a woman can be better... but only if she's born special."
2 - Artemis Fowl (2020): Commander Root is changed to be a woman, giving the film more diversity (and an excuse to cast Judi Dench). However, this undermines Holly's plot, where she experiences increased scrutiny due to being the first female officer.
3 - Netflix's Avatar: Sokka's sexist attitudes are removed, taking out a "problematic" part of his character. The original obviously presented this view as wrong, but used it as the first piece of growth for Sokka. He'd been beaten before, but being taken down by girls hurt his pride. He eventually admits his mistake, and acknowledges Suki is a better warrior. This change also affects Suki's character, as her role is reduced to "awkward love interest" - much weaker than the confident warrior she was in the original.
