Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with Woody Allen was not some passing handshake or random name in an address book. Public reporting and released records have described Allen and Soon-Yi Previn as longtime friends and neighbors of Epstein in New York, with the three dining together often and maintaining contact even after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Newly released emails added more texture to that relationship, including records showing Epstein helped arrange a 2015 White House tour for Allen and Previn. That detail matters because it shows Epstein was not merely tolerated from a distance; he was still useful, still connected, and still treated as someone who could open doors for famous people. Allen has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, but the relationship is still deeply uncomfortable because it fits the broader pattern of Epstein's post-conviction life: even after becoming a registered sex offender, he remained welcome in elite social circles where fame, money, and access insulated people from ordinary reputational consequences.Epstein's Hollywood world was part of a much larger celebrity-access machine. His name and records have been connected over the years to actors, comedians, models, producers, media figures, and entertainment-adjacent power brokers, not necessarily as criminal participants, but as people moving through the same rooms, dinners, parties, foundations, flights, introductions, and favor networks. Figures such as Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Naomi Campbell, Chelsea Handler, and others have appeared in public Epstein-related reporting or records in different contexts, while modeling-world connections also show how Epstein used glamour industries as another access point to young women and status. The key point is not that every famous person who encountered Epstein committed a crime; the key point is that Hollywood, like Wall Street, academia, politics, philanthropy, and royalty, was one more prestige ecosystem where Epstein could launder himself socially. He understood that being seen around celebrities created legitimacy, and the entertainment world gave him exactly what he craved: proximity to fame, cultural polish, beautiful people, and the illusion that his criminal past could be buried under enough dinner invitations and famous names.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Wer steckt hinter der SCP Foundation? Ihr Auftrag: Sichern. Schützen. Verwahren (Secure. Contain. Protect.). Anomale Objekte, gefährliche Entitäten und unerklärliche Phänomene sollen vor der Öffentlichkeit verborgen und unter Kontrolle gehalten werden. Klingt nach einem Verschwörungsthriller? Ist es aber nicht. Oder zumindest nicht ganz. Seit über 15 Jahren zieht die SCP-Foundation Millionen von Menschen in ihren Bann und hat sogar ein öffentliches Wiki, das sich wie eine echte Behördendatenbank liest. Wie konnte es gelingen, dass diese Organisation von einigen fast ernster genommen wird als so manche offizielle Stelle? Kann uns die SCP-Foundation tatsächlich vor einem „XK-Klasse-Weltuntergangs-Szenario“ schützen? Und was sagt es über uns aus, dass wir uns diese Frage überhaupt stellen? Wir haben uns die SCP Foundation genauer angesehen. Von den Anfängen auf einem Internetforum über die bizarre Vielfalt ihrer Kreaturen und Objekte bis hin zur Frage, warum uns das kollektive Spekulieren über das mögliche Ende der Welt so viel Vergnügen bereitet. 24.06.2026 Online-Vortrag bei der VHS Hannover „Scrollen, Swipen, Sorgen: Soll der Staat Kinder vor Social Media schützen?“ zur kostenfreien Anmeldung Wie man uns unterstützen kann, könnt ihr hier nachlesen.

Photo by Shannon Potter on Unsplash Published 4 May 2026 e552 with Andy, Michael and Michael – stories and discussion on AI, life on Mars, life of the Vision Pro, retro C64s and a whole lot more! Andy, Michael and Michael get things started with a brace of AI articles dealing with with a wide variety of topics.  First up is Meta's use of employee activities on their corporate computers to train their AI models.  Then, a discussion on the SpaceX and Cursor business deal.  Next, a conversation on a breach to access the Claude Mythos model.  Interspersed with these is a discovery by NASA's Curiosity rover finding organic molecules on Mars. With a number of articles claiming, and paraphrasing here, that the Vision Pro is bereft of life, shuffled up its mortal coil and joined the choir invisible, Michael Rowe shares his perspective on the subject.  His says his Vision Pro is not an Ex-Vision Pro. The cohosts go retro – as they are wont to do – with a flock of posts about all things Commodore.  Links below if you are curious and want to see what these devices look like. While no Artemis II image for this week's episode, do check out the minifigs.me offering of the crew, along with the jar of “Studella” in the links below.  There are a couple of additional bonus links that the cohosts didn't have time to include in the episode that prove that we can have nice things.

Is there a drift of young and grassroots rugby union players to rugby league? Auckland Rugby League chief executive Duane Mann discusses the rising popularity of rugby league in New Zealand.

The stakes are high. A region’s association with a popular dish is increasingly big business, as the Chinese eat out more. Synopsis: Every first Friday of the month, The Straits Times catches up with its foreign correspondents about life and trends in the countries they're based in. Disputes over where popular dishes originated are common across Asia. The world-famous butter chicken is fought over by two restaurants - one that started out in Peshawar, now in Pakistan, and one in New Delhi, India. In Southeast Asia, neighbours Singapore and Malaysia have also tussled over chicken rice. It is little wonder that China, given its geographic scale and the incredible richness of its regional cuisines, has its own internal food feuds. Kaoyu, or grilled fish, is a regional speciality of Chongqing, made with freshwater fish from the Yangtze River and spices such as mala peppercorns and Chinese chillies. The dish’s commercial success, both inside and outside of China, has raised questions about its true origin story, with two regions in Chongqing, Wanzhou and Wushan, laying claim to it. In this episode, host Li Xueying asks Chongqing-based correspondent Aw Cheng Wei to share his journey in tracking down where kaoyu came from, and to get to the heart of why food is so important to the Chinese. Highlights (click/tap above): 1:23 How Chongqing’s cuisine reflects its local environment and culture 4:39 Popularity of the kaoyu dish across China 5:59 Beginning of the dispute over the dish’s origin 8:46 Government efforts to preserve authenticity through industry standards and culinary schools 10:31 The complexities of culinary origin disputes across China and beyond 13:40 China’s attitude towards food 15:42 Food’s power to connect and what it means for China Read Aw Cheng Wei’s article here: https://str.sg/6y3x Read Li Xueying’s articles: https://str.sg/iqmR Follow Li Xueying on LinkedIn: https://str.sg/ip4x Sign up for ST’s weekly Asian Insider newsletter: https://str.sg/sfpz Host: Li Xueying (xueying@sph.com.sg) Edited by: Fa’izah Sani Executive producer: Ernest Luis Follow Asian Insider on Fridays here: Channel: https://str.sg/JWa7 Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWa8 Spotify: https://str.sg/JWaX Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg --- Follow more ST podcast channels: All-in-one ST Podcasts channel: https://str.sg/wvz7 Get more updates: http://str.sg/stpodcasts The Usual Place Podcast YouTube: https://str.sg/4Vwsa --- Get The Straits Times app, which has a dedicated podcast player section: The App Store: https://str.sg/icyB Google Play: https://str.sg/icyX --- #STAsianInsiderSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ecclesiastes 4 sketches a sobering picture of life under the sun, touching on oppression, envy, work, and isolation. Solomon observes that injustice can become so severe that it makes existence itself feel unbearable, a reality still echoed in modern forms of exploitation and suffering. The response begins in the heart by confronting bitterness, then moves outward through action and advocacy against wrong. He also exposes three distorted approaches to work: envy-driven striving that robs joy, laziness that erodes life, and relentless ambition that gains success at the cost of relationships. Each path, in its own way, leads to emptiness. In contrast, Solomon highlights the strength found in companionship, where people support, protect, and sustain one another through life's hardships. True presence—simply showing up and carrying burdens together—becomes a powerful antidote to isolation. He also elevates wisdom above status or age, noting that experience alone does not guarantee insight. Wisdom grows through learning, receiving counsel, and humbly seeking God's guidance. Regularly asking for wisdom reshapes daily decisions, keeping a person grounded, relationally connected, and aligned with what truly matters.

If we aren't careful, social media can become a place where we can very easily indulge our sinful nature in ways that cause us to turn ourselves into little idols. We can become consumed with building our brand, bowing to the desires of our followers, and sharing versions of ourselves that really aren't who we are at all. In a day and age where we experience ramped up identity pressure, we need to go to the right source to discover who we've been made to be. Today, I'm chatting with author and pastor Justin Poythress about overcoming these temptations, and finding stability and purpose in Jesus, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.
