a) U.S. counterterrorism officials told NYT that it was done by the ISIS-K;

Musk... RFK jr... I'm starting to question this woman's judgement.

RFK Jr.’s newly-announced running mate, Nicole Shanahan, is anti-IVF just like many Republicans.
She says women who have fertility issues can conceive children through “exposure to sunlight” instead.https://t.co/TpezlxvYQ8 pic.twitter.com/C2WXjQNnuz
It seems to me, if you’re going to cover it at all, the headline is RFK Jr chose the donor who paid for his superbowl ad as his running mate. That ad exploited his murdered uncle’s memory and he tried to disavow it, apparently facetiously.

From Reuters:
'Why do I need an all-Black cast?' ... "Black Panther" is the sixth highest-grossing domestic release of all time, according to the site Box Office Mojo, and was the first Marvel film to be nominated for Best Picture.
This reminds me of an anecdote from Harlan Ellison's Watching.
