A federal affidavit debunks far-right conspiracy theories about the attack on Paul Pelosi. Paul Pelosi was hospitalized with a skull fracture but is expected to fully recover. The attacker entered the bedroom and said he wanted to talk to "Nancy," according to the affidavit. The affidavit, however, explains that Paul Pelosi had said in the call the man who identified himself as David was waiting for Nancy Pelosi, and he didn't know him. Jenkins also said the attacker was looking for Nancy Pelosi and that reports that a third person was at the home were untrue.

Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked on Friday morning. Police identified David DePape, a 42-year-old Berkeley, California, resident as the suspect. Online activity from DePape showed he espoused conspiratorial views, according to reports. The San Francisco Police Department said DePape broke into the Pelosis' home and assaulted Paul Pelosi with a hammer. DePape has a winding past that mysteriously leads up to an apparent fixation with extremist views, according to reports.

Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was assaulted on Friday morning. The attack echoes the calls for violence against the House Speaker on January 6, 2021. Experts say the assault occurred in an atmosphere of mainstream rhetoric tinged with violence. But the idea to incite political violence becomes normalized when mainstream outlets and public figures choose not to condemn the attacks, she said. "So there's mainstream rhetoric out there that refuses to recognize the violence that was perpetrated that day."

ATHERTON, Calif. — Three decades after a car was reported stolen in Northern California, police are digging the missing convertible out of the yard of a $15 million mansion built by a man with a history of arrests for murder, attempted murder and insurance fraud. Although cadaver dogs alerted to possible human remains on Thursday, none had been found more than 24 hours after technicians with the San Mateo County Crime Lab began excavating the car, DeGolia said. The car was reported stolen in September 1992 in nearby Palo Alto, he said. Cadaver dogs were again brought back to the house and again “made a slight notification of possible human remains,” DeGolia said. Daniel Larsen said the dogs could be reacting to human remains, old bones, blood, vomit, or a combination of those things.

Snapchat no longer has an office presence in San Francisco. Snap's San Francisco lease wasn't due to end until November 2024, according to another person familiar with the situation. The move is another blow to San Francisco, formerly a mecca for tech workers and glitzy modern offices. The company opened the 33,000 square foot San Francisco office in 2017, shortly after it went public that year. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, where it has more than 400,000 square feet of office space in Santa Monica.

Both have a slight growth advantage over BA.5, which is the dominant version of COVID right now in the US.

We spoke with one tech founder who moonlights as a ghostwriter for prominent VCs, and rakes in hundreds of thousands of dollars — sometimes for a single thread. Below, we've got an inside look at the lives of Twitter ghosts, a job that, in one ghostwriter's case, is "60% shitposting." Top VCs are paying ghostwriters big bucks to craft tweets for them. This person — a founder of a tech startup — started ghostwriting as a side hustle, taking five hours out of his week to come up with original tweets. VCs, on their hunt for the next superstar startups, must establish themselves on Twitter, and write the kind of content that will get the attention of young founders.

Before I leave Kesey's farm, Mountain Girl and I walk outside to the old brown barn where Furthur now rests. But for Mountain Girl, it lives forever, an emblem of everything her generation believed in, and all that they achieved.

It was 1988, and he'd approached President Ronald Reagan in the Cabinet room at the White House. People scoffed at the glowing hourlong media conference that President Donald Trump's White House doctor gave about his health. Reagan publicly announced he had Alzheimer's disease five years after he left the White House. Francis Shen, who teaches psychiatry at Harvard Medical School's Center for Bioethics, would like to see information about political leaders' cognitive health made public. Cognitive health should be no different, he said, because it also might affect the way presidents and members of Congress make important decisions.

Planta mirositoare este o adevărată curiozitate a naturii și atrage mulțimi ori de câte ori apare pe undeva.

Peter worked out a budget and moved to San Francisco, where he "lived very frugally" in a small studio apartment. (According to CNBC's calculations, $90,000 of Berkshire Hathaway stock in 1977 would be worth more than $300 million as of Jan. 5, 2023, for a return of over 300,000%.) "But I didn't make that choice and I don't regret it for a second," Peter writes. "I used my nest egg to buy something infinitely more valuable than money: I used it to buy time." That distinction is easy to miss in Warren's case, because the work he loves most — investing — is all about money.

Theodore Kaczynski at his arraignment in Helena, Mont., April 1996. Photo: Michael Macor/San Francisco Chronicle/Getty ImagesOn Sept. 19, 1995, readers of the Washington Post opened their newspapers to find a special section entirely devoted to a single, 35,000-word essay. Still more unusual was the way the article had found its way into print. America’s most wanted terrorist, an anonymous individual then known only as the Unabomber, had offered to stop mailing bombs if the paper published his manifesto, “Industrial Society and Its Future.” At the urging of the FBI, the Post agreed, with the New York Times sharing the cost of printing.
