The clearest sign of Mr. Wexner’s nearly limitless comfort with Mr. Epstein came in July 1991. Mr. Wexner signed a three-page legal document, known as a power of attorney, that enabled Mr. Epstein to hire people, sign checks, buy and sell properties and borrow money — all on Mr. Wexner’s behalf. Mr. Epstein, the document stated, had the “full power and authority to do and perform every act necessary” for Mr. Wexner. “It takes a vast amount of trust to give someone total control,” said William P. LaPiana, an associate dean at New York Law School and a trust and estates expert who reviewed the document at the request of The Times. “Essentially what this means is, I can sign your name to anything.” For the next 16 years, that document gave Mr. Epstein unmatched authority over Mr. Wexner’s financial affairs — and it corresponded to a period in which Mr. Epstein came to control or own valuable assets that previously belonged to Mr. Wexner or his companies.

I cannot be confident that I will make a difference. I am reminded, however, of what Senator Robert F. Kennedy said in 1966 about ending apartheid in South Africa: “Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.” Enough of these ripples can become a tidal wave. And as Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney wrote, sometimes the “longed-for tidal wave of justice can rise up, and hope and history rhyme.” I want to do all that I can to make this such a time.

Know Nothing Party.

“Members of the movement were required to say "I know nothing" whenever they were asked about its specifics by outsiders, providing the group with its colloquial name”
The American Party, known as the Native American Party before 1855[a] and colloquially referred to as the Know Nothings or the Know Nothing Party, was an Old Stock nativist political movement in the United States from the 1840s through the 1850s. Members of the movement were required to say "I know nothing" whenever they were asked about its specifics by outsiders, providing the group with its colloquial name.[4]

Mike Liberatore, who was xAI’s chief financial officer, also quit over the summer after three months in the role, soon followed by its general counsel Robert Keele. In early October, X’s chief financial officer Mahmoud Reza Banki, announced that he was leaving after less than a year in the role, a departure first reported by the Financial Times.

On a call with investors Wednesday, Musk locked onto that last point to make his most threatening argument for a gigantic payday yet. “My fundamental concern with regard to how much voting control I have at Tesla is, if I go ahead and build this enormous robot army, can I just be ousted at some point in the future?” he said. “If we build this robot army, do I have at least a strong influence over this robot army? Not control, but a strong influence … I don't feel comfortable building that robot army unless I have a strong influence.”

Not a joke, and not his sword.
The request for a gift for King Charles came from a State Department liaison who used the email address “giftgirl2025” and initially told the museum that they were looking for “like a sword or something,” according to a person familiar with the discussions. As it happens, shortly before the Trump administration’s failed efforts to secure a sword from the Eisenhower library, two other Eisenhower swords went on view in a temporary display at the Nixon library. According to a news release, they are on loan from Julie Nixon Eisenhower, a daughter of President Nixon, who married the grandson of President Eisenhower. They include a “Sword of Honor” given to him in 1947 by the City of London to honor his role as the Allied supreme commander during World War II, described by the Nixon library as being “treasured as a family heirloom.”

This is not how a capitalist country, a country you can Do Business with, functions.
Seoul wants to reduce upfront equity commitments by using loans and guarantees from state-run financial institutions such as the Export-Import Bank of Korea and the Korea Trade Insurance Corp., while Washington is pushing for a higher proportion of direct investment and also demanding control over which projects are selected. But Seoul is against this, arguing that Korean firms should decide based on business feasibility.

Kelley described a chaotic scene as the students sheltered in place or fled the 900-student campus, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) west of Denver. “He would fire and reload, fire and reload, fire reload,” she said. “This went on and on.” But the shooter was blocked by secured doors and couldn’t get into areas where students were sheltering, Kelley said. She added that Holly had lots ammunition. “The reason we have so many crime scene areas inside is because we have windows shot out. We have lockers that were shot up. We’re finding spent rounds, unspent rounds. So it’s a huge area,” she said.

And his proof is "X...lost around ten per cent of its European user base, around eleven million accounts, since August of 2024."
I suspect that left-leaning journalists and editors are migrating back to X not because of the ideological tenor of Bluesky but because they miss the attention arms race. If X-ism is preferable to Blueskyism, it’s because X users don’t have to work as hard to reach people. On the internet, a bigger megaphone is still considered a better one. Yet parsing the distinctions between Bluesky and X has a burgeoning air of futility. The truth is that text-dominated social networks are largely decaying across the board. According to Bluesky’s open-source data, the number of daily posters on the platform has been declining each month since its peak in January of this year, following Trump’s Inauguration (though it is still four times as large as it was last year). X has been forced to release some of its internal statistics owing to new technology regulation in the European Union; the data, from earlier this year, show that the site has lost around ten per cent of its European user base, around eleven million accounts, since August of 2024. Meta’s Threads app is growing, thanks to its ongoing support from Instagram, but since its launch, in 2023, it has not, at least by my recollection, generated a single major cultural moment or meme.

Fuck every one of these piece of shit Nazi informers.
“They were a union member, and the people confided in them because they had helped them win lawsuits over unsafe working conditions,” Branum says. She declined to name the union worker who acted as the informant. From there, Branum says she reached out to ICE on the agency’s website, and an agent then contacted her.

This is good and is an example of why Schumer needs to resign. If you can’t show a different and better alternative, if you’re just catering to the median political consumer, you’re useless. You’re Being Led. You’re a… ConSchumer!*

The Pentagon has also shifted $200 million from Army, Navy, Air Force and Defense Department programs, such as barracks where enlisted personnel live, to replace a 12-foot-tall mesh barrier with a 30-foot-tall permanent protective barrier at the Barry M. Goldwater Range in Arizona. As Task & Purpose previously reported, the border mission has quietly (and not so quietly) been used as a military test-bed, with the Integrated Visual Augmentation System, or IVAS; the deployment of a platoon of 10th Mountain Division soldiers who worked on a counter-drone mission on the U.S.-Mexico border; and a vehicle equipped with a BlueHalo LOCUST Laser Weapon System.

Magnitsky Act fuckery

2018: "Sanctions law behind Putin's request to Trump for former U.S. officials"
TRUMP TOWER MEETING In the U.S. presidential campaign that year, Akhmetshin and Veselnitskaya appeared to gain traction. At Trump Tower, they met with the Republican candidate's oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law and now a senior adviser to the president - a meeting now under scrutiny in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. The conversation straddled the same subjects they had repeatedly raised with journalists and lawmakers. Six months into his presidency, Trump was discussing the Magnitsky issue with Putin himself, during a private meeting at the Group of 20 conference in Hamburg. "I actually talked about Russian adoption with him, which is interesting because it was a part of the conversation that Don had in that meeting," Trump told The New York Times in July 2017. Browder denies the Kremlin’s claims. He told Reuters this week, “I’m always worried about Putin taking extrajudicial actions against me. I’m always worried about assassination and other renditions.”

I know the real answer is just “more whites” but still want someone to ask these guys what they think the exact right number of humans on earth is.

Is it 1800s levels? 1950s? Infinite growth forever? And if so why, why does every square inch of earth have to have a human standing on it.
