Behind the debate over whether Casey Wasserman should resign as the 2028 Olympics chief over 20-year-old correspondences unearthed in the Epstein files is a fraught question that has long haunted the L.A. Games: Will there be enough money? So far, the Olympics committee has backed Wasserman, with allies saying he’s a strong leader and prodigious fundraiser. In addition to sponsorships, the LA28 committee brings in money through ticket sales and licensing agreements. By some measure, the 2028 Games is less of a fiscal gamble for L.A. compared to past Olympics. In 2021, Yoshiro Mori, the 83-year-old president of the Tokyo Olympic Committee, announced his resignation after an uproar over sexist comments he made.

He also threatened to put the AI company on what could amount to a government blacklist. At issue is the guardrails Anthropic placed on its AI model Claude. The supply chain risk designation would prohibit companies with military contracts from using Anthropic’s products in any of their military work. “I would assume we don’t want to utilize the technology that is the supply chain risk, right? “What it sounds like is that the supply chain risk may not be a legitimate claim, but more punitive because they’re not acquiescing.”

Also, the regime has been an avowed and declared enemy of the United States for decades. That’s because if President Trump goes through with a full-scale attack it will have been the single least-debated voluntary war in living memory, if not ever. And we should be clear, Congress’ failure to greenlight a war doesn’t mean the president is free to launch one. The evidence for hating Trump or being unpatriotic (the same thing in his mind) is not bending to his will.

It’s been nearly three weeks since Nancy Guthrie vanished from her secluded Tucson, Arizona, home in the dead of night, and investigators say they are no closer to identifying a leading theory or motive behind her abduction.

Disneyland Resort relies heavily on California visitors to offset a decline in international tourism, with over 50% of its audience from the state. Samantha Masunaga, Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles TimesDisneyland Resort's high percentage of California visitors has helped mitigate a dip in international tourists, an executive said Thursday. Walt Disney Co. had previously indicated a slowdown in international visitation at its U.S. theme parks in its fiscal first quarter earnings call earlier this month.

But inside the company, researchers have sought to study whether certain Facebook features could contribute to “addiction” or “addictive’-like” behaviors among users. Some of the features the company’s researchers raised questions about, including autoplay and endlessly scrolling feeds, are among the same features that lawsuits now claim contribute to youth addiction and harm. But the documents show employees expressing concerns that Harris might suggest changes to Facebook that the company’s product teams wouldn’t be willing to make. The researchers hypothesized that certain features could “promote frequent, automatic, undesired behaviors” that build habits users may not want or intend. She said Meta researchers have also met with other academics working in the space, including United Kingdom psychologists and digital psychology researchers Daria Kuss and Mark Griffiths, who were mentioned in the 2018 proposal along with Harris.

It’s especially galling because the military has previously accepted responsibility for the original crash and expressed support for this compromise before it passed the Senate unanimously. Setting baseline rules for air traffic to prevent plane crashes is one of the government’s most fundamental responsibilities. The Rotor Act would do all the above, and it was expected to easily clear the House. The real reason for the Pentagon’s reversal was that a competing House bill would offer the military more latitude to ignore new rules about using transponders. No one wants to unduly interfere with what the military needs to keep the country safe.
