Twitter’s Legal Team Calls Elon Musk’s Attempt To Abandon The Acquisition Agreement “Invalid And Wrongful.”

Elon Musk is reportedly trying to get out of a contract to sell Twitter. In this context, Twitter is unwilling to give in. Musk moved to terminate a $44-billion acquisition agreement with Twitter on Friday, alleging that the social media company breached the deal by failing to hand over data he says he needs to evaluate the number of bots and spam accounts on the platform. However, Twitter's legal representatives hit back in a letter to Musk's lawyers Sunday, calling his claims "invalid" and demanding that Musk follow through with the takeover. "Mr. Musk's and the other Musk Parties' purported termination is invalid and wrongful, and it constitutes a repudiation of their obligations under the Agreement," reads the letter from William Savit, a lawyer at Wachtell, Rosen, Lipton and Katz—w...

Swimsuits That Had Been Chosen By Chance With The Help Of A Size 32J Fashion Editor Were 30 In Total.

For years, women with large breasts were relegated to two types of swimwear: matronly wiring that covered their breasts entirely, or flouncy and frilly lingerie-like designs with full cup coverage. But now designers are creating swimsuits that are not only flattering but also fashionable. I love my Whistles blue-and-white gingham swimsuit because it looks like real swimwear rather than a bra that happens to be waterproof. Thanks to the arrival of a range of philanthropic individual brands, consumers having special needs are finally being provided options that make better sense for them. Just say, bustier swimwear now actually looks like bustier swimwear. Carly Worson and Stephanie Korn, from Melbourne, Australia, have created a swimwear brand for women with larger cup sizes. They had...

UK Antitrust Officials Are Investigating Microsoft’s $68.7 Billion Acquisition Of Activision Blizzard.

The UK competition regulator announced Wednesday that it was launching an antitrust investigation into Microsoft's proposed $68.7 billion acquisition of video gaming giant Activision Blizzard. The probe will focus on whether the deal may substantially lessen competition—or create expectations that it might. Microsoft has previously said it expects antitrust officials to scrutinize how the deal, announced in January, may affect competition in the video game industry, app stores and even labor markets. "We expect and believe it's suitable for controllers to investigate this obtaining," Lisa Tanzi, corporate VP and general direction at Microsoft, said in a proclamation Wednesday. "We have been clear about how we intend to maintain our gaming business and why we accept the arrangement will ...

Experts Say Myths About Abortion And Women’s Mental Health Are Widespread, But Research Does Not Support These Claims.

Experts say that a message about abortion is often repeated without evidence: Having an abortion may damage a woman's mental health, perhaps for years. "There's so much misinformation, so many myths about abortion. Abortion will lead to substance abuse, depression, suicidal thoughts; abortion is bad for your health; every woman is going to regret it," said social psychologist Brenda Major, a distinguished professor emeritus in the department of psychological and brain sciences at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Research has shown that "the vast majority of women feel they made the right choice, and they don't experience regret," said Major, who led a 2008 American Psychological Association task force exploring the science on abortion and mental health. The task force revi...

Because Of The Wildfire Threat, Machu Picchu In Peru Recently Faced Threats.

Peru's firefighters were battling to control a forest fire near the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu on Thursday, as the fire threatened to reach the historic site high up in the Andes. The firebrand, which encompassed an area of roughly half the size of Vatican City, started on Tuesday by farmers burning undergrowth and debris to clear the way for a new planting season. As of Wednesday, about 20 hectares (49 acres) had been affected by the fire. The mayor of the nearby city of Cusco said that Machu Picchu, a complex of stone structures sitting atop a mountain, was built more than 500 years ago by Incas. The fire's remoteness has hindered firefighters' efforts. "We have already been fighting the forest fire for two days and it has not been possible to get it under control, given the area is ...

A Time-Tested Practice May Provide Temporary Relief From Chronic Tension Headaches.

People who experience a particularly persistent type of headache pain may derive relief by performing an ancient Chinese practice, according to recent research. For people that have chronic tension-type headaches, acupuncture can reduce the amount of monthly headaches. This was published in a journal by the American Academy of Neurology on June 22. A tension headache is a pressing or tightening feeling on both sides of the head with mild to moderate intensity. After two months of treatment, acupuncture may provide relief from chronic tension headaches for at least eight months, said Dr. Ying Li, principal investigator of the study and professor at Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Past investigations have discovered that needle therapy might be compelling for lon...

NetEase Has Delayed The Launch Of ‘Diablo Immortal’ In China.

NetEase appears to be in trouble. The Chinese gaming company postponed the release of a video game that was expected to be released on mainland China this week after its social media accounts were blocked for reportedly politicizing a comment. "Diablo Immortal," which was scheduled to be delivered on Thursday, has been delayed until additional notification, as indicated by a declaration on NetEase's (NTES) Chinese site on Sunday. The title was co-made by NetEase and Blizzard Entertainment, a division of Activision Blizzard (ATVI).   NetEase didn't give motivation to the last-minute postponement, yet proposed in its proclamation that it was making specialized updates to the game. The organization didn't share another delivery date, and declined to remark further regarding this...

Ways To Create Desire In Long-Term Relationships.

In her debut story collection, Watching Women & Girls, Riposte founder Danielle Pender discusses life's pillars: the desire for love, the urge to serve, the desire for ambition, the need for friendship, and the necessity to sustain sexual desire. Ahead of its publication date on June 23, she considers what it takes to sustain sexual attraction with a long-term partner. Want, what an inebriating drug. More intense than any class As, more overpowering than any psychedelic drugs. It's a need, a need, a longing for a person or thing that can consume your contemplations, energy, and here and there your life. Toward the start of any relationship, want is the fuel that pushes two individuals toward one another, and it tends to be a hazardous encounter. Along these lines, no big surprise wh...

Big Tech CEOs Come To Congress In Anticipation Of Landmark Antitrust Legislation.

Amid a push to pass landmark antitrust legislation, Big Tech is bringing out its heaviest hitters to influence the members whose votes could decide the bill's fate. Google CEO Sundar Pichai will travel to Washington next week to meet with US lawmakers, two people familiar with the plans said. Pichai's excursion comes after Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook was spotted meandering the Senate last week. (Apple didn't answer inquiries on Cook's visit at that point.) It likewise follows a report by Politico that Amazon (AMZN) CEO Andy Jassy has straightforwardly called numerous individuals from Congress to communicate resistance to the bill. In an explanation, an Amazon representative told CNN that Jassy "meets with policymakers on the two sides of the passageway in regards to strategy gives that co...

A Posthumous Book By Virgil Abloh Will Be Published, A Work In Progress Created After His Death.

Penguin Random House has announced that it will posthumously publish Work in Progress, a book Virgil Abloh began writing before his death in 2021. Work in Progress, co-authored by the late, visionary Off-White founder and artistic director of menswear at Louis Vuitton and Anja Aronowsky Cronberg, founder and editor-in-chief of Vestoj, will be a “hybrid work that combines cultural criticism, theory, art, and personal narrative.” It does not yet have a publication date. Abloh has sought refuge in intellectual, theoretical, and imaginative conversations with Aronowsky Cronberg about his work. One World told Vogue that Abloh’s new book, Work in Progress, is the culmination of their dialogue. The book illuminates the ideas behind Abloh’s astonishing process and practice. Nicole Counts, senio...
