Wow! Letter from Epstein to a convicted sex offender Larry Nassar right before Epstein’s death.
This was in the files the DOJ released last night and then removed from their site.

I've been thinking a lot about how hard it is to get basic housing assistance for renters and homeowners. That's shown up a lot in my reporting this year. It's unconscionable that we allow people to suffer without the basics. It's so normalized, but I want to push back against that.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

In 2024, people with high racial resentment scores strongly tended to vote for Donald Trump, regardless of their educational attainment; by contrast, people with low racial resentment scores strongly tended to support Kamala Harris, whether they had a college degree or not.

Among white people, the correlation between racial resentment and their voting decision is much, much stronger than between educational attainment and political alignment.
In fact, if you control for racial resentment, education polarization basically disappears.
