Multiple police reports, social workers and family members uncover the allegations against 79-year-old Errol Musk.

Awww, yes, this is really nice.

Good to see we can push back on the gig economy. '"I know how stressful and frightening it feels when your income is suddenly cut off," he said. "But we have rights. Reach out to your union, speak up, and don't be afraid to challenge Uber's unfairness."'

Hmm. "Shalom House participants follow a strict routine filled with work, church, and activities. They're not allowed to smoke, drink, or use any drugs. They can't even swear. They are also required to sign over limited power of attorney…"

Couldn't decide whether to go to see a brutalist building or a cool water tower while I was in Osaka but I chose the brutalist building and it turned out to have a cool water tower inside it. Incredibly blessed city

This guy was 31 years old and his whole life, his literal funeral, culminated in a fireworks show for Donald Trump

This is insane, @mta.info. A white woman gets on a Metro-North, tells a Black man to sit differently, then complains to the conductor when he says no. That’s bad. But then the conductor CALLS THE COPS. On the MAN. For not changing how he was SITTING. That’s inexcusable, @mta.info.

I asked ChatGPT list my publications. All made up, and the top 3 were said to have been published in the Stanford L Rev, Yale LJ, and Harvard L Rev (none of which I’ve ever published in). Conclusion: students should not use LLMs to research me, but I highly encourage my tenure reviewers to do so.

Very important, this.

NSW Police issued a warrant for solicitor Abdul Saddik's devices earlier this year as part of a probe into his links to figures in Sydney's underworld.

This came across my feed today, and it's very good. If you are a Christian who uses "Pharisee" as a synonym for "hypocrite" or otherwise treats them as the villains in the story, you need to read this. So many passages make more sense once you learn who the Pharisees really were.

The e-bikes posing a "higher fire risk" will be banned from trains, after dozens of incidents were found to be linked to the battery technology powering them.

While the Israel Defense Forces bomb Gaza and bulldoze the West Bank for settlements, moves to recognise Palestine in pursuit of a two-state solution may appear like something of a sick joke.

Seems kinda topical, or at least indicative that not much progress has been made in the last 50 years. Observer editorial on recognising the PLO #OnThisDay 1975

That we can now date the stones is thanks to an Englishman who oversaw the forgotten drilling of one of the stone in the 1950s. He was given the core which he kept all his life. When he was 89, living in Florida, he returned it to Stonehenge. That was my father. www.brighton.ac.uk/news/2023/ne...

When Frank Pangallo announced he was joining the Liberal party, he vowed to put the blowtorch on a first-term government riding high in the polls. But barely four weeks later, the blowtorch is firmly on Pangallo instead, writes Leah MacLennan.

Ridiculous snowflake: 'Dallal […] had bumped into a protester and fallen down as a result. Still, he told the Ynet news site that in the moment he felt as though he was “being lynched” by the crowds of furious protesters.'

I've always liked this picture. Since Victorian-era photos required sitting still for so long, we assume everyone from that era was stoic and emotionless. A candid moment like this of a dude and his wife giving each other a giggle fit does more to show that we're all just goofy animals than anything

At the 1851 Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, London, the latest in scientific innovation was presented. I present to you: George Merryweather's "TEMPEST PROGNOSTICATOR" which uses leeches to predict approaching storms. 12 leeches are arranged in pint bottles around the central pillar with a bell.

Not sufficiently asked, I feel, is what drugs 12th century illuminators were on.

My beef with @dannymlavery.bsky.social is that he makes me feel like an incoherent brute who has just been enlightened on a single issue, so for the rest of the day I stumble around going "Yes! That is indeed what is wrong with The Boxcar Children!" and I want to explain it to others but can't.

Some hope this visa price hike will see the US tech industry prioritise American workers. Others argue it'll dissuade the "world's smartest talent" from choosing to work in the US.
