And here I am again today, seeing as how not one but three of my four (okay, seven) daily reads lead with headlines about Mr. Wexner (sometimes obliquely) and Mr. Epstein. He then reminded Mr. Wexner of what he said was their mutual indebtedness and his past protection of Mr. Wexner’s interests. And the David Schwartz angle, I suspect you are asking at this point? David Schwartz, a Bronx native, was presumably a little more emotionally resilient, and seemed to manage his double life just fine-- until it managed him. I think David was hiding, and he was hiding in a place he was familiar with.

Tacoma Detention Facility Sued: Three Black men detained at Northwest ICE Processing Center are suing the facility's owner, GEO Group.

Now, in this moment, the Bezos-owned Washington Post has gutted its coverage of them and the tech industry at large as part of a sweeping set of layoffs that affected more than 300 people. The team that includes tech, science, health, and business was cut by more than half — from 80 to 33 people — according to Post tech reporter Drew Harwell. The newspaper also laid off staff covering the media industry (which had previously reported on Bezos’ ownership over their own paper). The Post cut its entire sports bureau and nearly annihilated its foreign reporting teams, including its Middle East desk, and reporters and their editors covering Ukraine, Russia, Iran, Turkey, and others. The Post cut its staff from 1,000 to under 800 last spring, with CEO Will Lewis calling out the $100 million loss from the previous year.

SpaceX and xAI signed a merger agreement creating a $1.25 trillion company on Jan. 31. The $1.25 trillion value assigned to the new SpaceX is a bet on Musk’s plan for the convergence of AI and space.
