According to copies of the phone message pads, seen by the Guardian, the magician appears to have left messages for Epstein 16 times in just a few months. The notations on the pads include brief messages such as “it’s important” and “just called to say hello”. One says “it’s jackpot” without further explanation.

No explanation needed, Epstein only had one line of work.

Leaked audio from a Google’s all-hands meeting in December 2023 revealed Pichai saying it was not the best idea to inform all employees impacted by the layoffs simultaneously

“I think it’s something we could have done differently for sure,” he said.

He also said the decision to cut off access to work accounts immediately after announcing the cuts was very difficult

“I wish we’d been more low key when we fired all of those people, now give me sympathy for my very hard job”

This procedure is banned in the US. Why is it a hot topic in fight over Ohio's abortion amendment? (apnews.com)

In ads, debates and public statements, the opposition campaign and top Republicans have increasingly been referencing “partial-birth abortions” as an imminent threat if voters approve the constitutional amendment on Nov. 7. “Partial-birth abortion” is a non-medical term for a procedure known as dilation and extraction,...

Oh that’s certainly true. Why does the “migrant caravan” arrive every four years, and mysteriously disappear from rage bait news after the election?

When you can’t win actual arguments, you make up things the other side doesn’t believe in, and then you simply debate your own straw-men. This has been the leading Republican debate strategy for the last decade(s).

His tight-lipped answer didn’t seem to satisfy Brennan, who wondered if McConnell meant he could still serve “at a time when we are talking about incredible dysfunction in Washington?”

“I think we ought to be talking about what we were talking about earlier, rather than my health,” McConnell shot back.

Fox News Sunday’s Shannon Bream also interviewed McConnell. She said in her introduction to her interview that she also asked about his health and he said “he’s doing great, and has a clean bill of health.” She did not air her questioning on the subject or McConnell’s response.

I definitely prefer the CBS model wherein we actually ask politicians questions with follow ups, instead of assuming answers like Fox does.

At some point after 27 September, the CIA had added to its X profile page a link - t.me/securelycontactingcia - to its Telegram channel containing information about contacting the organisation on the dark net and through other secretive means.

The channel said, in Russian: “Our global mission demands that individuals be able to reach out to CIA securely from anywhere,” while warning potential recruits to “be wary of any channels that claim to represent the CIA”.

But a flaw in how X displays some links meant the full web address had been truncated to t.me/securelycont - an unused Telegram username.

As soon as Mr McSheehan noticed the issue, he registered the username so anyone clicking on the link was directed to his own channel, which warned them not to share any secret or sensitive information.

It’s high time for any US government agencies to leave Twitter

This “informed consent” form is part of the state’s mandatory 24-hour waiting period; people have to sign it to testify that they’ve reviewed materials the state requires (which are on a different webpage) before they can have an abortion. They have to print out the form and sign it at least 24 hours before the appointment but not more than two weeks early—the form expires after that point. The online form automatically generates a timestamp and providers have to double-check it before they can proceed.

This is the new literacy test for abortion. Completely arbitrary and useless processes that are enacted to stop people from exercising their rights.

“Are you in high school? said Mr. DeSantis, who has faced criticism as a candidate for not being fluid when interacting with voters and journalists, a dynamic that has made for some awkward exchanges on the campaign trail.

The Florida governor pivoted, arguing that if the 2024 election focused on “relitigating things that happened two, three years ago, we’re going to lose.”

That’s not why you’re going to lose, Ron. You’re going to lose because we can all see what a weak and uncharismatic loser you are. This man is the governor of a state, and he’s too weak to answer a 15 year old kid’s questions. What a coward.

North Korea’s still riding that high after supplying the Russians with weapons. They haven’t felt this important since Kim and Trump had their little lover’s spat in the last term.

Matt Gaetz is going to be the next governor of Florida, Trump is going to be the Republican nominee. I’m looking forward to Ron DeSantis disappearing into irrelevance shortly.
