A Times investigation reveals new details about a probe into NCAA men's college basketball and misconduct by the lead FBI agent in Vegas.

By its own maneuvering, the modern Supreme Court has made itself the most powerful branch of government. Superior to Congress. Superior to the president. Superior to the states. Superior to precedent, procedure, and norms. In effect, superior to the people. Most talked about in this regard, of course, is the Court’s ending of long-established reproductive rights in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. But the assertion of extreme power extends well beyond the issue of abortion.

The seizure of Silicon Valley Bank by regulators Friday morning shows how brittle financial institutions can be in the digital age. The downfall of the Valley institution, which has been called “the backbone of the startup economy,” was caused by a good old-fashioned bank run, but one that ran at internet speed. The run began on Thursday, after a powerful Silicon Valley VC—Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund—had begun advising its portfolio companies to withdraw their money from SVB, sources told Fast Company. Other VCs soon caught wind of the advisory and began advising their own portfolio companies to withdraw funds from SVB, the people said. As the withdrawals accelerated, the bank began taking steps to stem the tide and preserve its solvency—just like George Bailey did in the 1946 classic It’s a Wonderful Life.

As Justin Baragona, the Daily Beast media reporter who reported on this interview, points out, Hannity played portions of his Trump interview on his Fox News show that night, but stops the remarks where Trump says he “could have negotiated” to omit the extremely newsworthy detail where Trump says exactly what the “negotiation” would have entailed.

In an exclusive interview from jail, Shanteari Weems says she shot her husband in the neck and thigh after a parent she trusted said he abused her kid... Six-and-a-half months later, a D.C. judge told Shanteari Weems she had no right to take the law into her own hands. Her supporters were stunned when Superior Court Judge Michael O'Keefe slapped her with a four-year sentence, twice what prosecutors recommended in a plea deal on charges of aggravated assault and carrying a pistol without a license. Prosecutors have charged James Weems, a retired police officer, with 33 counts of rape and child sex crimes. He’s awaiting trial, and his lawyer, Thomas Plavanic, is declining to comment to reporters. During sentencing, Judge O'Keefe said Shanteari Weems' attack on her husband was premeditated, not spontaneous. Asst. U.S. Attorney La Vater Massie-Banks said police had told her days earlier that they were investigating her husband, and they’d shut down the day care, Lil Kidz Kastle, while they looked into the allegations of child sexual abuse. But Shanteari Weems says police were very vague about the allegations and who was under investigation.

The long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) rely on limestone tools to crack oil palm nuts; they use hammerstones and anvils, very much like those used by humankind. As they crack hard nuts, bits of the stones break off, resulting in an assemblage of stone flakes.

HP customers are showing frustration online as the vendor continues to use firmware updates to discourage or, as users report, outright block the use of non-HP-brand ink cartridges in HP printers.

The suspected gunman who fatally shot seven people at a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Hamburg on Thursday night has been identified by German authorities on Friday. Police say 35-year-old Philipp F was responsible for the massacre, with the gunman also taking his own life during the incident. Eight others were injured, including four seriously. A motive for the attack—described by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as a “brutal act of violence”—remains unclear.
