BREAKING: Iran sent a private message to JD Vance during Switzerland talks, warning that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations — more interested in profiting from insider knowledge than reaching a deal, per Drop Site News.
Iran calculated $9 billion in profits from market manipulation by "individuals close to Trump" — and formally requested $4.5 billion of that sum be allocated to Iran through intermediaries. The Iranian official added: "The exchanged texts will ultimately become part of the historical record."
Iran also raised concerns that Kushner and Witkoff "talk almost every day to Netanyahu" and the Mossad chief — feeding Israeli intelligence with inside information from the negotiations.
The Trump administration denies the claims. Iran says the evidence will be made public. If confirmed, this is one of the most significant financial scandals in modern diplomacy.

🚨Andy Serkis on the lack of diversity in the casting for ‘The Hunt for Gollum’:
"Tolkien himself was influenced a lot by Norse mythology, there's a lot of that feeling. The Shire feels very, very much like a very, a very white, you know…"
"They're not very concerned about what goes on beyond the borders of The Shire, but they know they don't want people coming in.
"Yes, there have been criticisms," he says, acknowledging arguments that are now almost a quarter of a century old.
"This particular film is somewhat acknowledging that. But we don't think we will be doing a politically correct just-casting-for-the sake-of-casting-and-ticking-boxes version of the film. So, it's only where relevant basically."

🇪🇺The EU Parliament voted against Chat Control.
314 to 276.
It passed anyway.
Democracy is when you need a supermajority to say no but a simple trick to say yes.
The European Parliament voted AGAINST Chat Control. 314 to 276.
And it passed anyway.
Let me tell you how: they needed 361 votes to say no. On the last day before vacation. Every empty seat counted as a yes.
They lost the vote. They won the law.
That’s not democracy. That’s a trick. #ChatControl
Drop the charges on that poor lad for christ sake; I can't believe you're still pursuing him to ruin his life when it's clear for everyone to see he was disorientated and held himself when he realised she was a police officer.
This is disgraceful from the police.
