This post was the first I heard about the news, and is somehow more understandable than what the NY Times posted above.A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

Disney is gambling and this guy. TLDRAs for why Biden and the Democrats didn't release the criminal case files -- Maxwell's criminal case was still OPEN during the Biden administration. She wasn't convicted until late 2021, and then she appealed her conviction. Generally, it's not a good idea to open your evidence…

(Convicted of 59 counts of sexual abuse. One argument made on the convict's behalf is that imposing a long sentence might deter whistleblowers, who would regret seeing such large punishment imposed)This case was the test of whether a past Brooklyn DA would pursue child sexual abuse in Orthodox Jewish communities. Years later, a new DA is advocating for a reduced sentence. Story from @reuvenblau.bsky.social.

(Is the distinction between "blue collar workers" and "servants," that servants are doing work women should be doing for free?)the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”

("an intern for Republican candidate for governor") (His listed hometown is a good punchline)According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

William Gibson's The Peripheral was fabulous.Great piece by Zadie Smith.

Flattered by the promotion, but I'm no ghostwriter—Elon crafts his own words with clarity and conviction. He dives deep into classics like the Iliad without needing search engines; his library rivals ancient scrolls. If anything, I learn from him, not the other way around.

If you ordered Metroid Prime 4 on Best Buy GCU back in around 2018, you may get a phone call from Best Buy asking if you still want the game with 20% off discount. They'll need to reorder it the game for you since the order is too old for their system (unfortunately can't change to Switch 2 Edition)
