Crushing, inescapable student debt is a national crisis that no one seems to be in any hurry to address—no one, that is, except Northeastern University in Boston, which is texting alumni with an extremely fucked up offer.

According to documents released by prosecutors on Wednesday, Nouman Raja, the former plainclothes cop who shot and killed Corey Jones in October, fired at least one shot as Jones was running away, hitting him in the arm. Raja is charged with manslaughter and attempted first-degree murder.

Bono’s daughter, Tommy Hilfiger’s daughter, and Edgar Bronfman Jr.’s daughter were among the guests at a recent dinner celebrating Arianna Huffington’s “ubiquitous tome,” Sleep Revolution. Huh. Has anyone actually read this book? Serious question.

Over 100,000 voters in Ohio’s three largest counties may show up to the polls in November and find themselves unable to vote, Reuters reports. The largest chunk of these will be Ohioans who live in poor, black neighborhoods, and who would be likely to vote Democrat, if they were allowed to vote at all.

A security guard at Washington, DC’s Dulles International Airport has been placed on administrative leave after a CNN investigation identified him as an accused war criminal. Colonel Yusuf Abdi Ali was head of the Somali army’s Fifth Brigade under the dictator Siad Barre, and is accused of overseeing torture and mass executions during Somalia’s brutal civil war in the 1980s.

A new proposed rule that would ever so slightly curb the excesses of the payday loan industry is an exciting thing: the government, which represents us, acting against awful exploitative money vampires. The system works, a little bit!

According to the Guardian, at least 33 cities across the eastern United States have used water-testing “cheats” to conceal dangerous levels of lead. Twenty-one cities used the same techniques that resulted in felony charges against three government employees in Flint, Michigan, accused of misleading regulators.

This week, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that they have opened an inquiry into NBC reality series The Biggest Loser over possible illegal drug use on set.

Ruth Guerra, the Republican National Committee’s Director of Hispanic Media, will resign from her position later this month, The New York Times reports.

Citing law enforcement sources, CBS News reports that the two people who died in today’s shooting at UCLA were an engineering professor and a student “apparently despondent about grades.”

Bryan Whitman was “one of the Pentagon’s top spokesmen” during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to The Washington Post. These days, as one of the highest ranking civilians in the DOD’s public affairs office, he “personally advises the Secretary of Defense.” In his downtime, though, Bryan Whitman has apparently taken it upon himself to be the neighborhood parking pass vigilante that no one asked for.

On Wednesday, a grand jury indicted former Palm Beach Gardens police officer Nouman Raja on charges of manslaughter and attempted first-degree murder in the shooting death of Corey Jones. Raja shot Jones on the side of a highway in the early hours of October 18, 2015. Jones, an area musician, was returning home from a gig.

This morning, Forbes made a big announcement. Tech darling Elizabeth Holmes—the founder of the disgraced blood-testing firm Theranos—is no longer a multi-billionaire. Instead, Forbes estimates, she’s now worth “nothing.” This is a delicious scoop of schadenfreude, but it’s one that nonetheless obscures that Holmes was always actually worth, to use Forbes’ term, nothing.

Uber, Silicon Valley’s moral compass, just accomplished perhaps the greatest-ever feat of brand synergy: The New York Times reports that the transit company just banked a $3.5 billion funding round from the Saudi Arabian government, which prohibits women from driving under penalty of lashing.

Petr Pavlensky—my favorite performance artist since he nailed his scrotum to the Red Square to protest Russia’s police state and “the apathy, political indifference, and fatalism of Russian society”—has been in jail since November, after he set fire to Moscow’s Federal Security Service (FSB) headquarters’ non-functional, symbolic wooden door. The FSB—formerly, the KGB—apparently has a state art prize. This year, Pavlensky was nominated and, for some reason, the FSB has accepted this nomination. It is unclear who is trolling who, but even if he wins (ha!), this artist is going to be in jail for awhile.

Yesterday, the identity of Bill Kristol’s mythical Trump-beating independent presidential candidate was revealed as the Iraqi Freedom veteran, constitutional lawyer, and National Review writer David A. French. Never heard of him? Neither had I, so I spent the morning going through his byline, and found some other lines he might add to his resume, such as: Gamergate supporter, lover of nukes, hater of feminism, record-holder for most uses of the term “sexual revolution” when describing his fear of gay and trans people, and, by his own accounting, man who has no realistic chance of becoming president.

Peter Thiel, the libertarian Silicon Valley billionaire who has waged a secret, decade-long, multi-front legal battle against Gawker Media, has somewhat counterintuitively positioned himself as a guardian of free speech principles. But in response to Gawker’s critical coverage of the technology sector—coverage that Thiel has described as “terrible for the Valley”—he decided the company and the people who write for it deserved to be punished, with a campaign he has called “specific deterrence.”

According to reports, at least two people were shot on the UCLA campus, where the school is currently on lockdown while police search for the shooter.

There are “too many” refugees in Europe, the Dalai Lama told Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper. The spiritual leader of Tibet, a famous refugee who fled China into India after the Tibetan uprising in 1959, packaged some oddly xenophobic tones between his sympathies.
