What the newly released Epstein files show — and what they still don't

Millions of new files relating to the late ******* offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released by the US Department of Justice, the largest number of documents shared by the government since a law mandated their release last year.
Three million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos were posted publicly on Friday.
The release came six weeks after the department missed a deadline signed into law by US President Donald Trump that mandated all Epstein-related documents be shared with the public.
"Today's release marks t

Real ID required to fly starting Sunday — or pay a fee and risk TSA delays

Airline passengers will need to show Real ID to travel starting on Sunday — at least if they want to avoid having to pay an extra fee. Air travelers who don’t have Real ID will be charged $45 under a new Transportation Security Administration policy that goes into effect on Feb. 1.
The new policy marks the next step in TSA’s effort to encourage travelers to meet its higher standards for identity verification, which went into effect earlier this year after nearly two decades of delays.

Bitcoin holders have experienced over $4.5 billion in realized losses following the cryptocurrency’s dramatic decline from above $120,000 to below $90,000, which marks the highest level of capitulation since the 2022 bear market.
The Bitcoin price prediction indicator shows that the price might be bracing for another drop below $80k because the last time this much realized losses occurred in Bitcoin, the price dropped more than 50% to $28,000 from $69k.
The exodus from Bitcoin continues through institutional channels, with U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs recording $1.33 billion in net outflows over

‘Walking sharks’ lay eggs without breaking a sweat

Being pregnant and giving birth is hard work for any species—but epaulette sharks (Hemiscyllium ocellatum) might disagree.
These fish and a number of other species are known as “walking sharks” for their ability to traverse both the seafloor and land with their fins. But as of now, that’s no longer the coolest thing about this rather adorable predator. Epaulette sharks’ energy use didn’t change during their reproduction cycle, as described in a study recently published in the journal Biology Open.
“Reproduction is the ultimate investment

The post A Major Revision to the Story of Large Shark Evolution appeared first on A-Z Animals.
Large-body sharks in the Lamniformes family appeared 15 million years earlier than science previously claimed.
Understanding shark evolution can be difficult because sharks are cartilaginous, so only their vertebrae and teeth survive fossilization.
A richly biodiverse ocean during the Late Cretaceous period allowed gigantic sharks to coexist with other apex predators.
As a shark tooth and fossil hunting enthusiast, I often have people ask me why I find fossils so fascinating. To me, the answer is

A Hidden Warning Sign Discovered in The Gut May Increase Cancer Risk

As we get older, chemical marks on our DNA slowly shift. Now, a study reveals this 'drift' in gut stem cells is fueled by inflammation and disrupted cell signaling, and it may help explain why our risk of colorectal cancer rises with age.
The international team of researchers has called this process Aging and Colon Cancer-Associated (ACCA) drift, and it involves shifts in DNA methylation that can 'switch' genes on or off without altering the DNA – called epigenetic changes.
In this case, the drift leads to the gradual si

Video of tourist's disrespectful behavior at national park sparks debate online: 'Please tell me you called the authorities'

Some people must think the world is their personal sandbox. At least, it seems like that's what a tourist hurling rocks off an awe-inspiring rock formation at Valley of the Gods in Utah thought.
The clip of the tourist went viral after being shared by the Tourons of National Parks (touronsofnationalparks) Instagram account.
The footage featured an account from the person who submitted it: "As I was driving by, I saw this guy climbing the rock formation and throw[in

The winter solstice is upon us, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year.
People across the country have already faced multiple blankets of white snow where they live, but the winter solstice marks the first official day of winter.
The solstice also marks the start of the Pagan holiday, Yule, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. The holiday is thought to celebrate the sun's return and the land's rebirth as days begin to get longer after the longest night of the year.
The solstice is celebrated by many as a time of rebirth and change. Many cultures throughout human history ha

A photo of Miss Finland sparks racist accusations and furor across Asia

HELSINKI, Finland (AP) — Finland’s government is facing heavy pressure and accusations of racism from several Asian countries after its representative to the 2025 Miss Universe pageant was seen pulling the corners of her eyes in a photo -- and some Finnish politicians posted their own photos repeating the gesture.
Sarah Dzafce lost her Miss Finland crown last week after a photo of Dzafce pulling the skin at the corners of her eyes posted on social media went viral late last month. The photo, and its caption reading “ea

MLK Day and Juneteenth dropped as free park days. Trump's birthday added.

In 2026, Americans will get free admission to national parks on President Donald Trump's birthday but no longer on Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day, according to the National Park Service website.
Previously, the National Park Service included these two federal holidays among its free-entry days for around 100 park sites.
National parks ordered to check gift shops for DEI-type items
Federally recognized in 2021 under the Biden Administration, Juneteenth has been celebrated for more than a century and a hal

In recent remarks at the “Revitalizing America’s Markets” event, SEC Chair Paul Atkins laid out a plan that would fundamentally redefine what it means to be a public company in the United States. He framed it as a plan to “make IPOs great again,” but beneath the rhetoric lies something far more consequential: a shift toward a marketplace where public companies behave like private ones — shielded from disclosure, insulated from shareholder input, and increasingly detached from the long-term health of the broader economy. In essence, it is a move toward absolute control by CEOs and their boards

Grand Jury declines 2nd attempt to indict Letitia James

A federal grand jury on Dec. 4 rejected an attempt to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, a key target of President Donald Trump's ire, less than two weeks after a judge threw out the Trump administration's first indictment against her.
The grand jury’s rejection of charges marks the Justice Department’s second attempt at indicting the New York attorney general whom the president has railed against in recent weeks. James brought a lawsuit against Trump in 2022.
In a statement, James slammed the attempted indictment, calli

Earlier this week, Robert Griffin III, a former NFL quarterback from 2012 to 2020 (Redskins, Browns and Ravens), posted on X about why BYU had earned its place in the College Football Playoff. Punctuating his remarks, he said at the end: “Stop the persecution of the Christians, man ... come on!”
His commentary became a social media magnet for naysayers ready to recap their theological reasons for objecting to the label. But Robert Griffin III (often called RG3 for short), has heard this pushback before.

Surf Cam Captures Possible UFO Sighting in SoCal (Video)

With hundreds of cameras live-streaming continuously all across the globe – primarily, of course, to check surf conditions – Surfline has a godlike network of eyeballs.
And occasionally, it’s not just the waves that Surfline’s cams capture. The cameras have recorded (and ****** isted in solving) crimes; they’ve caught sharks breaching at popular surf spots like Lower Trestles; and dead whales slowly and sadly washing ashore.
But this next clip may just be the biggest in terms of strange phenomena, outside the realm of surfing, as ca

Some 80 million years ago, an earthquake seemed to have sent a flock of frightened sea turtles scrambling across the seafloor.
Traces of this prehistoric panic were stumbled upon by a group of free climbers in 2019 on a steep slope overlooking the Adriatic Sea, which the public is typically prohibited from accessing due to rockfalls. They noticed a chunk of rock covered with marks that looked like footprints and snapped some photos. One of the climbers later showed these to Paolo Sandroni, a geologist (and fellow free climber) at the Marche region’s Multi-Risk Functional Center in Italy.

President Donald Trump announced a major reset of federal fuel economy standards on Wednesday, rolling back Biden-era regulations that would have pushed automakers toward electric vehicles.
The move will save American families an average of $1,000 per new car purchase, the White House said. The policy reversal represents Trump’s latest effort to combat what he calls “hidden cost-of-living increases” from the previous administration. His reset of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards marks a significant victory for traditional automakers struggling to meet aggressive EV targets.

The December full moon, or "Cold Moon," will peak in Kentucky on Thursday, Dec. 4, and it marks the last supermoon of the year. It will also appear full on Friday, Dec. 5.
Here's what to know.
The next full moon is visible on Thursday, Dec. 4, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. It is the third and final supermoon of 2025.
The Cold Moon will peak at 6:14 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 4.
The name for the December full moon originated from the Mohawk tribe, who called it the Cold Moon because of the frigid conditions that occur during the month.

Trump's transit chief says dressing better will improve air travel. Experts howl.

Apparently nostalgic for the Champagne, pillbox hats and soft-lit glamour that characterized the skies in the 1950s and ’60s, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy urged airline passengers to dress nicely and mind their manners ahead of the year’s busiest travel week.
“Are you dressing with respect?” he asked in an online video. “Are you saying please and thank you?”
Doing so, Duffy suggested, would help to usher in a new “golden age of travel” — a phrase that harks back to the mid-20th century flight

The human brain is not a hard-wired machine but a malleable organ that is regularly re-shaping itself.
Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK and the University of Pittsburgh in the US have now identified four major turning points in brain wiring between birth and death.
Like chapters of our lives, each of these neurological 'epochs' marks a new era of development or decline.
"Looking back, many of us feel our lives have been characterized by different phases," says senior author and neuroinformaticist Duncan Astle from Cambridge.

Foreign tourists will pay $100 more at top U.S. national parks in 2026

It’s going to get much more expensive for international travelers to visit some of America’s most popular national parks.
Starting Jan. 1, 2026, "nonresidents without an annual pass will pay a $100 per person fee to enter 11 of the most visited national parks, in addition to the standard entrance fee," the Department of Interior announced on Nov. 25, among other changes.
"These policies ensure that U.S. taxpayers, who already support the National Park System, continue to enjoy affordable access, while international vis

Tesla's (TSLA) Europe woes are only getting worse.

Meanwhile, total EV registrations in the region, which includes the UK and the European Free Trade **** ociation, rose 32.9% in October, with overall registrations regardless of powertrain up 4.9%.

Scientists have no problem using the word “play” to describe dogs who fetch sticks or cats batting around yarn. But with sharks, it’s a whole other ballgame.
A new study in the journal Applied Animal Behavioral Science describes sharks interacting with human toys in a way that resembles play, though the word “play” does not appear in the paper.
Video footage from the study shows sharks swimming through hoops, picking them up with their nose, and flicking the toys with their tails, and ******* ping or biting them. Like they do in the wild, they would also rush towards one toy and then abruptl

If you were traversing the ancient Tethys ocean some 115 million years ago and encountered gigantic lamniform sharks, you’d most definitely need a bigger boat.
Lamniformes, an order of sharks that includes the great white of Jaws infamy, evolved around 135 million years ago and may have begun as wee, shallow water-dwelling creatures—around 3 feet long. But over time, they evolved into massive, fearsome fish that ruled the world’s oceans, for example the extinct megalodon that might have surpassed 50 feet long.
Previous evidence suggested that lamniformes swelled in size to hit the top of the

Bitcoin is attempting to regain upward momentum after recent declines, but the crypto king’s recovery is being met with caution.
While sentiment has softened, the current structure suggests consolidation rather than a major bearish reversal.
One of the clearest signals of cooling momentum is the sharp decline in Realized Cap Change, which has fallen to 1.4%. This marks a 28.1% drop and places the metric below its lower band. The shift reflects softer net inflows and lighter demand across the market. These conditions are consistent with consolidation phases, where investors prefer to observe
