  1. New sex scandal is about to break I'll be mildly surprised if it's not Hegseth - although I have no idea what could possibly make things make sense.
  2. first and "top" donation seem interesting
  3. If you're on the Gaia side I recommend a stop at a restaurant and bar called Dona Maria. They also have a cigar lounge. Great views, deck, very comfortable and spacious, unlike the small, cramped restaurants that you find next to the river on the Porto side. Very reasonably priced, too. It's next to the Hilton. We went to a port house closer to Douro, Quinta do Crasto. They offer a catered lunch, tour and tastings. It was fun but I'm not a port lover. In Porto, the gelato shop Niva right down the street from Bolhão market is actually incredible. It looks super touristy though. There's one also in Lisbon. I also recommend grabbing a coffee and hitting up a bakery called Ogi. Their shop is basically the back door of a Michelin restaurant. I believe they open at 9 am. I've found breakfast the least inspiring of the meals available in Portugal - at least outside of the hotels, so a great bakery was a welcome find.
  4. I think that's right. It's been awhile since I did a AA mileage redemption through LHR. It appears Heathrow reduced their landing fees, which seems to also play a part. The $737.50 is a BA flight and the $5.60 is AA. I don't remember AA fees to London being that low in quite awhile though.
  5. Anyone know wny the extra fee for travel on AA to or through LHR have dropped for some business class rewards tickets? The extra fee was ~$1k but now I'm finding $18. Just found a couple for 55k miles + 18USD fees from Denver to Italy (with an LHR connection) in October. After my purchase I looked to see if the same deal was available for direct to LHR, and it is - on some but not all flights. The low fees are also shown for Alaska redemptions on AA metal.
  6. Epstein's co-conspirator and lawyer. No pierogies for Dersh! Send your sympathies to dersh@law.harvard.edu
  7. this thread's quiet enough so surely nobody will mind a short clip of Caleb Williams at (edit) this week's drills
  8. People keep showing up to their routine immigration hearings only to get kidnapped
  9. If this sport really exists does it mean help is on the way?
  10. WI Supreme Court https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/breaking/2025/08/01/group-run-by-billionaire-elon-musk-spent-more-than-47-million/85474210007/
  11. Some jackass had the gall to posit in this very thread that the Epstein scandal may only exit the headlines if the US were to bomb Russia. Weak.
  12. huh just imagine "The reason for the move is listed as a “lesser security transfer” (code 308) according to a transfer document I reviewed, which is completely inappropriate of for inmates who are in the early stages of serving their sentences, according to another source. “This is such obvious corruption. I have never seen this before,” said another person at BOP familiar with the situation. The unit that approves waivers for sex offenders to be moved to minimum security camps is the Designation and Sentence Computation Center near Dallas. Currently, the senior deputy assistant director is Rick Stover, a career BOP employee who speaks frequently with White House officials."
  13. Yes, not disputing the news that she was moved. Just noting that the move was certainly for a purpose and if the current BOP record is correct she has already springboarded to a private hideaway in a secret location. edit - in response to @Gil Bang
  14. If she has been "moved" a discrepancy has occurred. https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/ but it could be a lagging update
  15. I'm sure convicted child traffickers are often sent to minimum security prisons.
  16. Stiffing contractors, hiring hookers, sexual harassment, white supremacy...Elmo has a lot in common with someone but I can't quite recall who
  17. The mock-up looks better than the execution. Also, see Cybertruck.
  18. A hilarious explanation for why the Tesla Diner's matcha iced tea looks so disgusting (note: there is no explanation for the hideous wagyu chili):
