I guess if I lose vision, I'll learn to like them, and they are a blessing for those that can't read with their eyes. Otherwise, a hard pass for both of us.

Two brothers from Pennsylvania and New Jersey who allegedly assaulted a New York Times photographer and stole her camera after they stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, were arrested by the FBI on Thursday. Philip Walker, a 52-year-old from Upper Chichester, Pennsylvania, and David Walker, a 49-year-old from Delran, New Jersey, face charges of forcibly taking an item from a person and assault with the intent to commit another felony, as well as other standard Jan. 6 misdemeanors for entering the Capitol. Philip Walker faces a separate charge of willfully and maliciously destroying personal property, for allegedly discarding the camera in a body of water. The men the FBI identified as the Walker brothers, as seen pointing at a New York Times photographer before her assault.The photographer in question, though not named in court documents, is Erin Schaff, who has written about her assault on Jan. 6, in which she said rioters inside the Capitol threw her to the floor, broke one of her cameras and stole the other. (Schaff has covered fallout from the riot, including photographing a separate Jan. 6 defendant named Brian Mock for a feature story on Mock's relationship with his son, who turned Mock in to the FBI and testified at his dad's trial last year). nbcnews.com

Travails of the Rich and Greedy Rupert Murdoch demanded his kids give him $100 million each as a sign of respect finance.yahoo.com Rupert Murdoch put his nepo babies to the ultimate test. After closing on the sale of Fox entertainment assets to Disney in spring 2019, the media titan—who’s worth an estimated $10.4 billion— asked his four oldest children to give him upward of $100 million from their respective payouts, according to reporting from The Wall Street Journal. The Fox sale netted $12 billion to be split among the children. But only three of them obliged. Lachlan, Elisabeth, and Prudence each gave the patriarch the money as a “sign of respect for the fortune he had earned over the years,” according to the WSJ. But James, one of the younger sons who had regularly had beef with his father over differing political and business-related views, refused. The entire transaction was quite odd, considering how Rupert Murdoch has gone to great lengths to ensure his children acquire his fortune when he dies. But Rupert has reportedly shown preference for Lachlan, the eldest son, and wants him to inherit his entire media empire. Through its trust, the Murdoch family controls both Fox Corp and News Corp. Fox owns Fox News, all 29 Fox TV stations, Fox Sports, and other Fox subsidiaries. News Corp owns WSJ, The Times, the New York Post, and right-leaning local papers. Lachlan currently serves as executive chairman and CEO of Fox Corp and is thought to be politically aligned with his father, unlike the other children. News Corp responded to Fortune’s request for comment saying all questions on the matter should be directed to Adam F. Streisand, a trial attorney with SheppardMullen. Streisand’s biography page cheekily reads “If you’ve seen it on HBO’s ‘Succession,’ Adam Streisand has litigated it (and much more) in real life,” a nod to the show that’s been deeply compared to the Murdoch family drama. There is no direct mention of litigating for the Murdochs on his page, however, and Streisand did not respond to Fortune’s request for comment. Fox Corp did not respond to Fortune’s request for comment.
