Musk asked Epstein for ‘the wildest party.’ Now he claims to stand up for victims. The billionaire Tesla CEO has called for accountability for figures named in the Epstein files — despite appearing in them himself.

Elon Musk emailed Jeffrey Epstein on consecutive Christmases

2012: "Do you have any parties planned? ... I really want to ... let loose."

2013: "When should we head to your island on the 2nd?"

My piece looking at his fraught effort to position himself as a voice for victims now wapo.st/4b9kYWV

So let me get this straight ...

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil

Pace of global warming has nearly doubled since 2015, reveals study - Carbon Brief An acceleration in human-caused global warming could see the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C limit breached before...

I'm not suggesting this is an open secret within the climate science community, but it's remarkable how little impact this sort of research is generating. Because if the rate of warming really has *doubled* then you can kiss goodbye to 2°C. www.carbonbrief.org/pace-of-glob...

My Washington State tax is going to go up and that's a good thing. We had the most regressive tax structure in the country for DECADES.

That's ironic, Washington already has a guy who wants Mein Kampf.

It's just unnecessary. Run mugshots. Use a proper editor. Using AI to create hollow slop adds what to your coverage? We get it, people age as they get older. Don't burn half a lake using AI to give us these empty calories.

We're at war in Iran, the president is already talking about another war with Cuba, and the White House and secretary of state are spending their time doing a roundtable on Name, Image, and Likeness rights in college sports?

So you don't heave a missile into an elementary school, then fire a second missile into the school to finish off the survivors is why a professional military engages in dumb, politically correct rules of engagement. But no, American exceptionalism > 175 schoolgirls.

MLS & Inter Miami's unwillingness to stand for something (and that's the best-case scenario here) means they're props for literal death threats.

Not surprised, as the league has generally preferred to avoid any kind of stance about any moral issue, but this is what you get for not standing up.

"You can only be decent because we are horrible" is a very, very popular line of thinking among horrible people.

UAE billionaire tears into Trump for dragging ME into war with Iran UAE billionaire Khalaf Al Habtoor tore into U.S. President Donald Trump for dragging the Middle East into war with Iran.

This is 💥.

"Before the ink has dried on the #BoardOfPeace initiative that you announced in the name of peace and stability, we find ourselves facing a military escalation that endangers the entire region...And what is the fate of the commitments made in the name of peace?"
