The True Origins Of The Seth Rich Conspiracy Theory

In the summer of 2016, Russian intelligence agents secretly planted a fake report claiming that Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was gunned down by a squad of assassins working for Hillary Clinton, giving rise to a notorious conspiracy theory that captivated conservative activists and was later promoted from inside President Trump’s White House, a Yahoo News investigation has found.

Russia’s foreign intelligence service, known as the SVR, first circulated a phony “bulletin” — disguised to read as a real intelligence report —about the alleged murder of the former DNC staffer on July 13, 2016, according to the U.S. federal prosecutor who was in charge of the Rich case. That was just three days after Rich, 27, was killed in what police believed was a botched robbery while walking home to his group house in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C., about 30 blocks north of the Capitol.

The purported details in the SVR account seemed improbable on their face: that Rich, a data director in the DNC’s voter protection division, was on his way to alert the FBI to corrupt dealings by Clinton when he was slain in the early hours of a Sunday morning by the former secretary of state’s hit squad.

Why We Forget Most of the Books We Read

July 9, 2019

Pamela Paul’s memories of reading are less about words and more about the experience. “I almost always remember where I was and I remember the book itself. I remember the physical object,” says Paul, the editor of The New York Times Book Review, who reads, it is fair to say, a lot of books. “I remember the edition; I remember the cover; I usually remember where I bought it, or who gave it to me. What I don’t remember—and it’s terrible—is everything else.”

For example, Paul told me she recently finished reading Walter Isaacson’s biography of Benjamin Franklin. “While I read that book, I knew not everything there was to know about Ben Franklin, but much of it, and I knew the general timeline of the American revolution,” she says. “Right now, two days later, I probably could not give you the timeline of the American revolution.”

Surely some people can read a book or watch a movie once and retain the plot perfectly. But for many, the experience of consuming culture is like filling up a bathtub, soaking in it, and then watching the water run down the drain. It might leave a film in the tub, but the rest is gone.

They finally built a better ketchup bottle. And soon it’s going to be everywhere.

Remember when ketchup turned upside down? Or when half gallons of milk grew plastic screw caps on their sides? We are resistant to change in food packaging, attached to our squeezy honey bear, Toblerone’s triangular prism, the resealable paperboard tube that houses Pringles’s neat stack of hyperbolic paraboloid chips.

But what if there’s a better way? (Seriously, try going back to doing the pinchy-pully motion to open the cardboard wings of a milk carton without mauling things.)

Something new is coming and soon you will scarcely remember when it didn’t exist. It’s called the Standcap Inverted Pouch. Daisy brand sour cream led the charge, debuting their Daisy Squeeze in 2015: a soft-sided, inverted wedge shape with a flat, flip-top dispensing closure on which it sits jauntily. It rolls down like a toothpaste tube, uses gravity as an assist and minimizes the introduction of oxygen, thus slowing spoilage.

What You Lose When You Gain a Spouse

In America today, it’s easy to believe that marriage is a social good—that our lives and our communities are better when more people get and stay married. There have, of course, been massive changes to the institution over the past few generations, leading the occasional cultural critic to ask: Is marriage becoming obsolete? But few of these people seem genuinely interested in the answer.

More often the question functions as a kind of rhetorical sleight of hand, a way of stirring up moral panic about changing family values or speculating about whether society has become too cynical for love. In popular culture, the sentiment still prevails that marriage makes us happy and divorce leaves us lonely, and that never getting married at all is a fundamental failure of belonging.

But speculation about whether or not marriage is obsolete overlooks a more important question: What is lost by making marriage the most central relationship in a culture?

Future Of Obamacare Uncertain As Appeals Court Grills Democratic Defenders

A federal appeals court panel grilled Democratic attorneys general on Tuesday about whether Obamacare violates the U.S. Constitution, as it weighs whether to uphold a Texas judge’s ruling striking down the landmark healthcare reform law.

The judges focused on whether the 2010 Affordable Care Act lost its justification after Republican President Donald Trump in 2017 signed a law that eliminated a tax penalty used to enforce the ACA’s mandate that all Americans buy health insurance.

Republicans have repeatedly tried and failed to repeal Obamacare since its 2010 passage. The Justice Department would normally defend a federal law, but the Trump administration has declined to take that position against a challenge by 18 Republican-led states.

Amy McGrath, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel and combat pilot, announced Tuesday she’s running against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

McGrath tweeted a video marking the launch of her campaign, in which she describes writing a letter to McConnell as a 13-year-old girl, noting he never wrote her back. She claims “everything that’s wrong in Washington” started with McConnell, “who was elected a lifetime ago, and who has, bit by bit, year by year, turned Washington into something we all despise.”

Within an hour of her tweet, McConnell’s campaign released an ad attacking her progressive beliefs.McGrath’s new ad echoes a similar spot she released when she challenged GOP Rep. Andy Barr ― who received an endorsement from President Donald Trump ― in Kentucky’s 6th District in 2018. Her announcement comes after months of speculation that she might run, including reports that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) actively recruited her for the race.

Kamala Harris On Alex Acosta: We Don’t Need Leaders Who Protect Predators

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on Tuesday called for Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta to resign over his involvement in a secret plea deal given to billionaire and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2008.

“Alex Acosta should resign as Labor Secretary,” Harris tweeted. “We need leaders committed to fighting for justice for survivors of abuse, not protecting predators.”

In 2008, Acosta, then a U.S. Attorney in Miami, approved a wildly lenient deal for Epstein, who was arrested on and later pleaded guilty to prostitution charges. Epstein ― who at the time was accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls at his Palm Beach home ― had to register as a sex offender but avoided federal prosecution and a possible life sentence.
