Amused that Trump's lawyers really sent the legal letter to:
BBC Television Centre,
London W12 8QT.
I wonder if they included a self addressed envelope for a reply and called 018118055 to confirm receipt.

Well, there goes Trump’s defence that, despite spending hours with her, Giuffre is on record saying he never did anything wrong.
To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

If any of these investigations make it to court, the discovery process is gonna be Trump’s worst nightmare.
Really not sure he’s thought this through.

Instead of just releasing the Epstein files, Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate Democrats and AG Pam Bondi is complying.
Are they setting up a pretext to block the release by arguing the files are now part of an active investigation? I’m not saying that would work, but he’s desperate to block.

I meet adults who are frustrated by the inability of young people to google things how we did at their age, seems to be from losing touch with how it's all trash now. our lives either don't need it as often or we take for granted we gradually learned to work around slop as it festered

Of course, Epstein being a self-aggrandising monster, there’s always the possibility that, with Trump as Prez, he saw an opportunity to get closer to other powerful people by claiming to have an in with him.
This isn’t a reason to dismiss the emails. It’s why we need all Epstein files released.

NEW: In text messages from 2017, Jeffrey Epstein seemingly represented himself as positioned to pass information from the Trump White House to Bill Gates through an intermediary, claiming intimate knowledge of Trump’s views in an exchange with a Gates adviser.

The thing that really bugs me about this is the inference that all Bond movies until now exist in the same logical continuity. The Bond of Dr No is the same Bond of No Time to Die.
That’s demonstrably not the case. Casino Royale was clearly a hard reboot, and there have been plenty of soft reboots.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

You gotta find room for all those unsold copies of Fetterman’s memoir somewhere.
Local Barnes & Noble used to have an entire wall for graphic novels. They closed for three months, reopened today and have… One small bookcase.

Ooh a balance patch that for once doesn’t look like it’s gonna nerf my current fave deck but possibly nerf my most frustrating matchups!
Blizzard just posted a teaser for Patch 34.0.2, releasing tomorrow! It's a big balance update with changes to multiple formats. Here are the teasers for Standard (16 nerfs) and Wild (2 nerfs). Sadly, it looks like no buffs. Learn more: www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/hearthstone-... #Hearthstone

To give Leavitt the ability to hide behind this answer, obvs.
Follow Up: Why was this being discussed in the situation room?
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

As if Epstein wasn’t already a monster, he also types multiple spaces after each period.
"THIS IS NOT WHAT I DO." - Epstein, after suggesting that he will "pass on" a proposal if the redacted party on the other side of the email wishes him to do so
