This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.
Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

Trump giving Bill Clinton a blowjob is not illegal. However, Putin owning photos of these acts and using them as Kompromat and blackmail as implied in the Epstein emails is a national security catastrophe. As well as both being part of the Epstein rape trafficking network.

Also, I don’t have a Twitter account. There seem to be scammers pretending as me, but there is nothing I can do, just please be careful.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

The chaos in the BBC is yet more proof that the pillars of the 20th century are collapsing in the 21st century. From the two-party system to the national broadcaster, the old certainties are falling apart. The decline has far to go. Is democracy itself next?

I love to point out that evolution came up with two strategies for animals to survive falls:
1. Cat-righting reflex, so an animal can land on its feet when it tumbles
2. Panda gooshiness, so it doesn't hurt when they tumble

I've said it before: everything giant pandas do makes more sense if you imagine they are six drinks in on a Friday night.
But I feel like we haven't fully celebrated their triumphant return. See, the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is no longer Endangered.
A conservation success story!
