WorkWorkOscar-nominated composer Danny Elfman accused of sexual assault by second woman  The new lawsuit against Elfman was filed under a so-called “window law” allowing people who believe they were victims of sexual crimes to override the usual statute of limitations and file legal complaints within a limited timeframe. The California Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act came into force at the beginning of this year and remains in effect until 1 January 2026.
WorkWhat accusations mean for Michigan football, Jim Harbaugh?  In 2016, then-Baylor assistant coach Jeff Lebby was suspended for a half for being on the sideline at a Tulsa-Oklahoma game. Lebby was in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to attend a wedding, and he and his wife had been invited to the game.

He missed the first half of Baylor\'s game against Oklahoma that season. Work
WorkSidney Powell Pleads Guilty in Georgia Trump Case  Danny Hakim is an investigative reporter. He has been a European economics correspondent and bureau chief in Albany and Detroit. He was also a lead reporter on the team awarded the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News. More about Danny Hakim WorkConcert Review: Rickie Lee Jones Makes Historic Return To The Roxy  At 68, Jones is no longer the bad-girl ingenue of thrift shop rock. Now she’s a torch singer by way of what a new generation of hipsters calls “lived experience.” After a story about finding true love on the eve of 70, Jones’s heartfelt version of the Sinatra standard “The Second Time Around” took on new resonance. Likewise, “One for My Baby (And One More For the Road)” was recast for women talking at the bar. Jones brought out Straw for a slowed-down, grown-up take on Steely Dan’s “Show Biz Kids” that suddenly felt like an indictment of TikTok stupidity (damn those “show business kids making movies of themselves!”). Jones ended the night with “the one truly great song” she says her late father, Richard, wrote—“and one great song is more than enough for anybody,” she said, launching into “The Moon is Made of Gold.”
WorkElon Musk says X to have two new premium tiers  Since taking over the firm in October last year he has looked to incentivise users to pay for an enhanced service, which is now called X Premium, and tried to woo advertisers back to X with offers of discounts. Work
WorkGovernment borrows less than expected in September  Mr Hunt on Friday said that the UK needed to \"get debt falling and reduce public sector waste so that those delivering public services can get back to what they do best; teaching our children, keeping us safe, and treating us when we\'re sick\". WorkStrong Economic Data ‘Could Warrant’ Higher Rates, Fed Chair Says  “A range of uncertainties, both old ones and new ones, complicate our task of balancing the risk of tightening monetary policy too much against the risk of tightening too little,” Mr. Powell said. “Given the uncertainties and risks, and given how far we have come, the committee is proceeding carefully.” WorkAtlantic Hurricanes Are Getting Stronger, Faster, Study Finds  Although this study isn’t global, it’s one of the most robust so far, said Karthik Balaguru, a climate and data scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory who also studies hurricanes and wasn’t involved in Dr. Garner’s research. The fact that this finding of more quickly growing storms stayed consistent through multiple kinds of statistical analyses shows there’s a real trend in the data, Dr. Balaguru said. WorkWorkRepublican Tempers Flare as Speaker Fight Continues, Paralyzing the House  Annie Karni is a congressional correspondent. She was previously a White House correspondent. Before joining The Times, she covered the White House and Hillary Clinton\'s 2016 presidential campaign for Politico, and spent a decade covering local politics for the New York Post and the New York Daily News. More about Annie Karni WorkWorkIn Britney Spears’s Memoir, She’s Stronger Than Ever  As freely confessional and often furious as it is, “The Woman in Me” isn’t quite the blazing feminist manifesto that some witnesses to history may have wanted Spears to write, nor the kind of granular, completist portrait-of-an-artist autobiography that others have dutifully supplied in the past. It could be argued, though, that she never stopped telling us who she was — in loopy hand-held videos on Instagram and, naturally, in her vast catalog of songs, with their lyrics about loneliness and emancipation, desire and defiance. It’s only pop, after all, and Britney did more than most to make it bigger and shinier and more bedazzling — a blond supernova dancing at the edge of what feels a lot, from this vantage point, like the last gasp of monoculture. Now maybe we can let her live. WorkDouble Defeat for Sunak’s Conservatives as Labour Snatches 2 Seats  But Mr. Curtice, the polling expert, said that “no government has hitherto lost to the principle opposition party — in a by-election — a seat as safe as Tamworth.” He also recalled that the Conservatives had lost a similar election in the same region, then named South Staffordshire, in 1996. |
