    In late 2017, with #MeToo in full swing, I set out to see if my high school harbored any teachers who took advantage of the often blurred boundaries with students on campus. I never expected to find my journalism teacher.

    Musk "was completely naked except for a sheet covering the lower half of his body." During the massage... Musk "exposed his genitals" and then "touched her and offered to buy her a horse if she would 'do more,' referring to the performance of sex acts." businessinsider.com/spacex-paid-25…

    When ProPublica flagged numerous political ads to Facebook that weren't in its archive, $FB said it would investigate its protocols. Now, Facebook has effectively blocked the very tool that ProPublica used to spotlight the ads in the first place.

    I thought my story on how my HS journalism teacher groomed students for sex would close the book on a dark chapter of abuse at my alma mater. It turns out I only scratched the surface. Tomorrow, we're publishing the full story. It goes back 40 yrs & involves dozens more teachers

    The attendant, who rides horses, declined and continued with the massage without engaging in any sexual conduct. The attendant "is not for sale," the friend's declaration said. "She is not going to perform sexual favors for money or gifts." Via @RichMcHugh for @thisisinsider

    Nike is leaving its flagship Niketown store-in the shadow of Trump Tower-with four years left on its lease with Trump Org. We spoke to current employees who said the decision was at least in part motivated by @realDonaldTrump's divisive political rhetoric. forbes.com/sites/danalexa…

    It's been a day, as they say. I've been laid off from @protocol, along with a dozen of my now former colleagues. My first startup experience ended the way most do: sooner than you expect. Thank you to everyone for reaching out. It's nice to be reminded how small the world is.
