Co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, Inc. Jack Dorsey on Sunday officially endorsed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president, saying that the Democrat “can and will” beat Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis in addition to President Joe Biden. Dorsey tweeted a clip of RFK Jr. speaking with Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner last week, which on YouTube was titled, “Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. argues he can beat Trump and DeSantis in 2024.” “He can and will,” Dorsey wrote in the tweet sharing the clip. When a Twitter user replied asking whether Dorsey was “endorsing or just predicting,” the former Twitter CEO replied, “Both.”

“We really want to make the public aware of these associated risks. In particular, caution should be exercised regarding the harvest and processing of sargassum biomass until the risks are explored more thoroughly,” he said. That’s become a worry for many, from municipal crews charged with clearing the washed-up seaweed from Florida’s beaches to make them more attractive for vacationers, to the tourists themselves and teams of environmentally conscious volunteers who fill trash sacks with washed up detritus.

Chicago police officer Jeffrey Kriv used the same alibi to contest dozens of traffic tickets over the years. A deeper look at his career sheds light on Chicago’s troubled history of police accountability.

Scientists are using a UC Santa Cruz greenhouse to re-create the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs. They want to learn why some species survived. As bad days go, it’s hard to top the one 66 million years ago when a space rock the size of Paris slammed into Earth at 45,000 mph. The heat of impact generated massive fires that annihilated everything around them and sent colossal plumes of pollutants soaring into the atmosphere. Within a day or two, toxic clouds of pulverized rock, sulfate aerosols and wildfire soot had blanketed the planet, blocking all but a tiny fraction of the sun’s energy and bringing photosynthesis to a virtual halt for the only known time in history. No event before or since has so thoroughly devastated the basic processes that make life possible here. Earth became a dark, noxious landscape of dead vegetation littered with charred carcasses of dinosaurs, pterosaurs and other creatures. By the time the Cretaceous-Paleogene, or K-Pg, extinction event was over, about three-quarters of species alive at the time of impact had disappeared forever. Eventually, the first green shoots of life emerged from the detritus. No one knows exactly when these first buds appeared, but the fossil record tells us what they were: ferns. Lots of them. The dinosaurs’ demise gets all the attention, but the survival of plants is at least as important a chapter in the story of the planet. Why did ferns thrive when almost everything else was destroyed? And what could their extraordinary hardiness tell us about how today’s ecosystems might fare after another cataclysm?

Several state lawmakers awoke on Friday morning to find their houses defaced with messages protesting the end of a state program that provided motel rooms to homeless people. Rep. Martin LaLonde (D-South Burlington) was among those targeted, South Burlington Police Chief Shawn Burke confirmed. "Isn't it nice to have a home" was scrawled across his garage door, though by mid-morning, the words were only faintly visible.

Workers say Dollar General continues to understaff its stores and pay poverty wages. The alleged violations have gotten so bad that, this week, shareholders defied the company’s board of directors and approved a proposed third-party audit of safety conditions.

Did the veteran newscaster give Kissinger a pass on his hundredth birthday?

A South Carolina man robbed a convenience store with a fake gun from the Nintendo game Duck Hunt earlier this week, stealing $300 in cash. As reported by Charlotte, North Carolina-based news station WBTV, David Joseph Dalesandro held up a Kwik Stop store on Tuesday evening around 5:45 p.m. According to a statement from the York County Sheriff’s Office, witnesses said that Dalesandro came into the store wearing a mask, wig, and hoodie, flashed the cashier the pistol, and demanded money.

In a reversal of its election integrity policy, YouTube will leave up content that says fraud, errors or glitches occurred in the 2020 presidential election and other U.S. elections, the company confirmed to Axios Friday. Why it matters: YouTube established the policy in December 2020, after enough states had certified the 2020 election results. Now, the company said in a statement, leaving the policy in place may have the effect of "curtailing political speech without meaningfully reducing the risk of violence or other real-world harm."

Kansas City Chiefs superfan ChiefsAholic made KC Crimestoppers’ Most Wanted Fugitives list after skipping an Oklahoma court hearing in March.

Two new books call ‘private equity’ what it actually is, but neither offers much hope for emancipation from our eternal hostile takeover.

In what is a first in recent memory, prosecutors are openly charging people with felonies simply for being organizers within a bail collective.

An associate professor of mathematics at Morgan State University, a public historically Black college, sent Jeffrey Epstein a bizarre and self-serving business proposal while he was in prison on sex trafficking charges, in which he argued the disgraced financier and sexual predator should give him millions of dollars to help rehabilitate his image in Black communities. Dr. Jonathan Farley, a highly credentialed mathematician with degrees from Harvard and Oxford, wrote a colorful email in which he proposed that Epstein, with whom he’d previously had a meeting over Skype, donate money for an endowed chair at Morgan State for “women in mathematics,” and a separate amount to Farley personally, to allow him to become a lecturer at Oxford. (There is no evidence that either Morgan State or Oxford signed on to this scheme; neither university responded to a request for comment.) Epstein’s donations would, Farley wrote. “Our accepting your $5 million will show the world you are not a pariah,” he wrote, “and may help you avoid a conviction like Bill Cosby.”

Farley later flew to Turkey to meet her parents and after a three-year courtship, they married at the Towson courthouse. Within two weeks of getting married, Farley said his wife's behavior completely changed. "The arguments and insults," said Farley. "And the spending was incredible. We went to places like Walmart and she would spend $400. We went to Bed Bath & Beyond and she spent $900. I don't remember how much we spent at Ikea." He says the spending continued, as well as the insults, until he hit his breaking point three months into the marriage. His wife wanted a new coat. When Farley offered to go with her to make the purchase, she got angry.
