Michael Shotter's review of The Forgotten War
5/5: A compelling combination of science fiction, horror, and (for lack of a better term) alternate history, "The Forgotten War" is another solid reading experience from Hulse.www.goodreads.com

Making America Epstein Again
Trump’s transactional ethics are making the U.S. a refuge for criminals. This mirrors something Israel has done for years.Maureen Tkacik (The American Prospect)
"Epstein used his status as a “model scout” for Wexner’s Victoria’s Secret to lure scores of underage models into his burgeoning sex trafficking enterprise and a parallel enterprise run by Jean-Luc Brunel, a conspirator who died in prison in 2022. Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and Bruce Weber, the retail guru and fashion photographer Wexner hired to overhaul Wexner’s preppy youth retailer, did the same thing"

“We need our political leaders to stop fanning these flames. Stop using irresponsible rhetoric. Stop referring to judges as corrupt, biased, monsters who hate America. We need leaders to lead responsibility. It’s a matter of using our words. We’re used to being appealed, but keep it on the merits, stop demonizing and villainizing us,” she said. “What they’re doing is inviting people to do us harm."

La Brown University raggiunge un accordo con l'amministrazione Trump: non effettuerà alcun pagamento diretto al governo, ma ha fatto alcune concessioni, tra cui la trasmissione dei dati sulle ammissioni
Brown è la seconda università a concludere un accordo con l'amministrazione Trump da quando la Columbia ha raggiunto un accordo simile la scorsa settimana. I funzionari di Trump hanno affermato che l'accordo della Columbia sarebbe stato un modello per i colloqui con altri college, sebbene altri esperti dell'istruzione superiore abbiano sostenuto che l'accordo fosse illegale e rappresentasse una minaccia per il settore in generale. (L'Università di Harvard, anch'essa nel mirino dell'amministrazione per presunto antisemitismo, avrebbe preso in considerazione un accordo fino a 500 milioni di dollari per risolvere la sua controversia in corso.)
