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...

Will UEFA And The FA Be Selling Women’s Football Shorts From Here On Out?

Attendances in women's football have risen dramatically. In 2019, the Camp Nou had a record attendance for a women's football match with 91,648 fans watching Barcelona take on VfL Wolfsberg; England set a record for the highest attendance at a Lionesses' home fixture in 2019 when 77,768 fans watched the team play Newcastle United; and Newcastle United set a record for its first game at St James' Park with 22,134 watching its match in the fourth-tier of English women's football. The demand for European women's football has never been higher, which is why eyebrows were raised over stadiums that have been selected to host the Women's European Championship currently taking place in England. Pundits contend that the English Football Association (FA) and UEFA, European football's administerin...

Former National Prayer Breakfast Attendee Oath Keeper Stated That If Donald Trump Were To Be Elected Again, He Would Be Likely To Try To Start A Civil War.

Former spokesperson for the Oath Keepers, an extremist group, is "exceedingly lucky" that more extreme bloodshed did not occur. Jason Van Tatenhove said that the potential for violence was "there from the start," adding that he and others are worried about the next election. He said that although tragic, some deaths during the insurrection were inevitable. "All we have to look at is the iconic images of that day with the gallows set up for Mike Pence. For the Vice President of the United States," Van Tatenhove said. As former President Trump stews about 2024 election, he is uncertain about whom he might face, but he expects that if he leaves a major office for a second time, his followers will use deception and violence to further agitate the group. “What else is he going to do if...

If You’re Feeling Down, Controlling Your Anger Is The Wisest Remedy.

As we look forward to enjoying this summer, the youth mental health crisis, mass shootings and political polarization have plunged many into distress and despair. Anxiety and depression remain significantly higher than before the pandemic, surveys show, and both of those have been linked to anger. As a psychologist, I hear from my clients about how they find themselves lashing out at people around them because their nerves are so fried. Feeling scared, irritable or sad is uncomfortable. Verbally and physically acting out might bring temporary relief, but ultimately it harms our relationships and the people we care about. Here are five strategies I share with my clients: To act generous, begin with self-sympathy Great individuals regret harming darlings when they detonate, prom...

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...

Old And New (‘Squid Game!’) Compete Amid Each Other In A Tight Race For The Emmys 2022.

Old things, new things, something international, and real life-inspired dramas are all a part of this show. This year Emmy Awards nominations juggled an almost impossible task, trying to identify standout new series, like "Only Murders in the Building" and "Abbott Elementary," while acknowledging older ones, including past winners and a number of shows that were in or about to enter their final seasons. Add to that an increasingly international flavor to the television landscape, with Netflix's South Korean sensation "Squid Game" securing a best-drama nomination -- the first non-English-language show to achieve that feat -- and you have a solid prescription for what an overwhelming task this has become. How overwhelming? Well, for starters, the Television Academy decided not to break do...

For The First Time In 20 Years, The Euro And The US Dollar Are In Line.

For the first time in two decades, the exchange rate between the euro (EUR) and the US dollar has reached parity, with the exchange rate of the two currencies equal to each other. On Tuesday, the euro reached $1, which resulted in 12% worth of growth since the beginning of the year. The fears of recession in Europe are fueled by high inflation rates and energy supply uncertainty caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Because of the war in Ukraine, the European Union has attempted to reduce its dependence on Russian oil and gas. However, Russia has throttled back gas supplies to some EU countries and recently cut the flow in the Nord Stream pipeline to Germany by 60%. Now that critical piece of gas import infrastructure in Europe has been shut down for scheduled maintenance due to last ...

An Airbus A380 Suffered A 14-Hour Flight With A Hole In Its Side, According To Reports.

Passengers on an Emirates flight from Dubai to Brisbane, Australia were stunned to discover a gaping hole in the side of their plane as they disembarked. The Airbus A380—which can carry up to 800 passengers—landed at Brisbane airport on July 1 following a nearly 14-hour journey. The damage was due to a ruptured tire caused by a "technical fault" while in the air, according to Emirates. One of the travelers on board has since taken to Twitter to depict the "frightening" occurrence, which occurred "during voyage." "Was totally frightening from the start and the lodge group knew something serious may have occurred - were promptly in touch with the cockpit," composed Andrew Morris, an English teacher at the UK's Loughborough University. "Not long after, they continued as would be expe...

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 ...

Rafael Nadal Rallied To Advance To The Semifinals At Wimbledon In Pursuit Of His 23rd Grand Slam Title.

On Wednesday, twenty-two-time grand slam champion Rafael Nadal outlasted eleventh seed Taylor Fritz, 3-6 7-5 3-6 7-5 7-6 (10-4) in a five-set thriller on Centre Court at Wimbledon. The Spaniard took the first set 6-3 with a break of serve early in the game, but Fritz responded and reeled off five successive games to take the first set 6-3. With Fritz up 4-3 in the second set, a trainer was called onto the court to evaluate the two-time Wimbledon champ. He eventually used a medical timeout and left the court for treatment. Despite those difficulties, Nadal roared back to win the second as he broke in the final game to win 7-5, tying the affair at one set each. After winning the third set 6-3, Fritz was on the brink of victory by taking a 5-4 lead in the fourth set, with Nadal serving to ...
