Yes, for now. "Upon the signing of this MoU, the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels, with no charge for 60 days only, from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman, and vice versa."

This is a weird comparison for a children’s movie.

Remember how the US fought a war to illegalize owning humans for forced labor, and a whole bunch of the losers decided NOT TO TELL said humans so they could continue extracting from them for YEARS? A #Juneteenth lesson: the US has a long history of not letting human rights get in the way of profit.

What’s up with those empty seats at World Cup games?

Really hard to imagine becoming a trillionaire and not wanting to immediately liquidate enough assets to give at least a few hundred billion to organizations making the world a better place.

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

President Trump is seeking to create state-by-state citizenship lists, saying they are necessary to block noncitizens from voting, a virtually nonexistent issue that the president has described as widespread despite his own administration’s inability to substantiate the claim. Here's what to know.

Love it: the night after he was kicked off of CBS for good, Stephen Colbert hosted a public access show in southeast Michigan.

JUST IN: A day after the collapse of the "Broadview Six" case, attorneys for the former defendants have filed an emergency motion seeking preservation of U.S. attorney's office emails and texts about the case. A motion for sanctions will undoubtedly be filed down the road

Very rich people getting booed during commencement speeches is my new favorite genre of entertainment.

This is not how those work.

NYT confirms — with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying."

If he's talking about Talarico - he has a Masters in Divinity. And to be cisgender is to be the gender you're born with. But it sounds like he understands it as "six genders".

🚨 The NYT appears to have taken a great feature story written by my colleague at Bolts about a west Tennessee county & the VRA, & essentially rewritten it. (Same frame, similar hed, overlapping sources.) Without a single mention, credit, let alone the a hyperlink buried somewhere.

🚨BREAKING: After three decades behind bars and 9 execution dates, Richard Glossip has been granted bond by an Oklahoma County judge, setting him up for release in the days to come. Bond set at $500k. Story with @jordansmith.bsky.social to come @theintercept.com

At least it wasn’t a Cubs jersey.

Kinda funny that they turned a color photograph into black-and-white for this.
