Paramount executives have told Los Angeles officials the studio is "deadly serious" about abandoning California, its home for more than 100 years, unless the state drops its antitrust challenge to the company's pending merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. CEO David Ellison's company put the threat in sharper terms this week, telling L.A. Mayor Karen Bass that a deposit has been placed on "moving trucks" and identifying Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas as potential new homes. The escalation comes less than two weeks before an October 1 deadline that will trigger a ticking fee of roughly $7.2 million per day, money Paramount must pay directly to Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders for every day the deal remains stalled. Over a full quarter, that…Open

Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have published new findings showing Earth's center of mass constantly shifts by several millimeters each season, a phenomenon that could affect the satellite systems modern shipping and agriculture depend on. A team led by Dr. Donald Argus developed a new ultraprecise satellite tracking technique to measure how water, ice, and air redistribute across the planet throughout the year, tugging Earth's center of mass in different directions month by month. The study, published in the Geophysical Journal International, maps a seasonal cycle that swings the planet's mass center toward the North Pole in winter and toward South America in spring, shifts measured in millimeters but large enough to…Open

A Paris court awarded Kim Kardashian a symbolic one euro, roughly $1.15, in civil damages from her 2016 armed robbery, closing a legal chapter that began with one of France's most brazen jewelry heists. Kardashian, 45, had requested exactly that amount. The ruling followed last May's criminal convictions of eight people tied to the October 2016 robbery at the Hôtel de Pourtalès, a five-star Paris hotel where two gang members disguised as police forced their way into her suite, bound her with zip ties, and stole an estimated $9 million in jewelry. Most of the stolen items, including a $3 million engagement ring from ex-husband Kanye West, were never recovered, The Sun reported . The civil damages award was not about money. Kardashian and…Open

A watchdog investigation has traced the widely cited lists of "journalists" killed in Gaza back to a Palestinian media union whose leaders openly celebrate terrorists, raising hard questions about how international press-freedom groups let their databases become propaganda tools. The Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate, a Ramallah-based organization that lists "struggle against the occupation" among its core missions, has served as a primary data source for the Committee to Protect Journalists and the International Federation of Journalists as both groups compiled their running tallies of reporters killed during the Gaza conflict, the Washington Free Beacon reported , citing an investigation by the media watchdog HonestReporting obtained…Open

My reflections on the attacks of 9/11 begin with conveying the shock and trauma of that horrible day. One cannot understand with the distance of today how the attack on 9/11 immediately represented a profound strike to the very fiber of American society, a very shock to the idea of normalcy, and a pervasive administering of a sense of imminent threat. It also strangely bored in how alone we the United States, were as a nation. We moved toward responding as a sovereign country, but it was soon apparent how much of the rest of the world was reacting with the concern that the y world in which they had and still lived should resist the change which was inevitable from this attack. Our allies, and even our enemies, sympathized greatly, but…Open
