Scandals Swirl: Epstein Ties, AI Slop, and Arctic Wounds Erupt

UK Police Review Misconduct Claims After Mandelson's Leaks to Epstein

London police are reviewing allegations of misconduct in public office after revelations that Peter Mandelson, the former UK ambassador to Washington, leaked confidential government information to Jeffrey Epstein, according to Al Jazeera. The Metropolitan Police announced the review on Monday after investigative files released by U.S. authorities revealed Mandelson shared government plans with Epstein while serving as a UK minister, Al Jazeera reported.

The release of files related to Epstein has also brought scrutiny to other public figures. Physician and longevity influencer Peter Attia is facing criticism after correspondence between him and Epstein was released on Friday as part of a large tranche of files, according to the NY Times. Attia's name appears in more than 1,700 documents, some of which include direct correspondence in the mid-2010s between him and Epstein, a disgraced financier who had already pleaded guilty to prostitution charges at that point. Epstein would later be charged with trafficking underage girls for sex.

Attia, who is in his early 50s, said in a statement posted on X on Monday that he never witnessed illegal behavior and never saw anyone who appeared underage in Epstein's presence, the NY Times reported. He also stated that he was never on Epstein's plane.

In other news, a right-wing Brazilian influencer who defended Donald Trump's immigration crackdown was arrested by ICE agents in New Jersey, The Guardian reported. Júnior Pena, whose full name is Eustáquio da Silva Pena Júnior, declared his support for Trump in a recent video message to his hundreds of thousands of social media followers. Pena, who has reportedly lived in the U.S. since 2009, falsely claimed migrants being rounded up, including Brazilians, were all criminals, according to The Guardian.

Meanwhile, in the Arctic, Trump's past interest in Greenland continues to resonate. In Canada, residents of Iqaluit showed support for Greenland during a solidarity march through Nunavut, The Guardian reported. The marchers waved signs that read: "We stand with Greenland" and "Greenland is a partner, not a purchase." According to The Guardian, for Indigenous peoples across the Arctic, the battle over Greenland is a reminder of troubling imperial past.

The rise of AI-generated content is also causing concern on social media. The BBC reported that AI "slop" is transforming social media, and a backlash is brewing. Théodore, speaking to the BBC, described an AI-generated image of two emaciated, impoverished South Asian children with beards, one missing limbs, sitting in the rain with a birthday cake, that went viral on Facebook with nearly one million likes. "It boggled my mind," Théodore told the BBC, referring to the absurd AI image.

Global Scandals: Porn Bans, Epstein Links, Graft Convictions Rock World Stage

Pornhub has restricted access for UK users who haven't previously verified their age, citing the upcoming Online Safety Act as the reason, although critics suggest this may be a tactic to pressure politicians to change the law, similar to actions taken in multiple US states with age verification laws. This decision, reported across various news outlets, has sparked debate about the law's effectiveness and Pornhub's motives, with some speculating it's a ploy to increase registered users.
