Jared Leto has been accused of sexual misconduct by nine women in an investigative piece by Air Mail. Some of the women allege they were underage when they began interacting with the actor and musician. Allegations include inappropriate messages, indecent exposure, and disturbing encounters stretching back years. A representative for Leto has denied all accusations.

A few women detailed incidents where Leto allegedly exposed himself or asked explicit questions, while others claim he contacted them persistently (even at night) after brief interactions.

One woman alleged he walked out of a room naked in front of her when she was just 17.

Leto’s rep says communications “contained nothing sexual or inappropriate” and denies any wrongdoing.

Great AIC song — or the greatest AIC song?

@all90saltrock Superunknown for sure. Nirvana (Unplugged) is a close second.

Let's be fair here. Just because Elon says that Trump is in the Epstein files and just because there are dozens of photos and videos with Trump & Epstein together and just because Trump called Epstein a "terrific guy" who "likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side" and just because Trump said that he's "less so" likely to release the Epstein files because "you don't want to affect people's lives if it's phony stuff in there" and just because his administration has refused to actually release anything doesn't mean... okay yeah he's in the Epstein files.

WATCH | They’re everywhere — lounging in the sun, following schoolchildren, tailing street vendors, or curled up by a tea stall. 🐕

The Indian street dog, affectionately known as the Indie, is one of the most overlooked animals, yet a much intricate part of our history than any Western breeds, having been found in Mohenjo-daro, too.
But recently, a unique initiative set out to change that.

The Rotary Club of Bombay launched a two-minute awareness film on the plight of Indies, with actor Pooja Bhatt lending her voice to the project.

Produced by Nabeel Abbas, Founder and CEO of Epigram, and scripted by Anushree Kandalkar, the short film was a heartfelt appeal to acknowledge the Indie as more than just a street survivor.

@GyIchigo @AmyLeeEV I think she's happier and more relaxed than she was back then. And it's showing.

Not a single country stood with India during #OperationSindoor

The Government failed to stop the IMF loan to Pakistan

No country has come out condemning the Pak as terror state

POTUS Trump is declaring that he called for a ceasefire

US signs $304 Mn missile deal with Turkey

China is aligning with Pak

Now, PM Modi has not been invited to G7

If this isn’t a mammoth failure in foreign affairs and relations, then what is?

Is the Ministry of External Affairs now reduced to just organizing band-baaja receptions for NRI crowds during the PM’s foreign tours?

PM has failed the nation completely.
