Guardian misstepping:
“It also marked a rare instance of direct US intervention in Latin American currency markets, underscoring Washington’s strategic interest in Milei’s success”

It is definitely *not* “Washington’s interest” it is Trump only, and Bessent’s pal who will benefit hugely

“Meanwhile, the boy remains trapped in a prison 500 miles away from home with an unhealed broken foot, sleeping on a concrete floor with an aluminum blanket, and crying to his mother on the phone”

He is 13

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

Agree. Art is expression in a way that is not necessarily usefully reducible to science. Art requires faith and interpretation while science aims for consensus

Fun fact. I contributed to an art-science piece in @science.org, about the amazing Art Center

All of this reporting on the Nobel Peace Prize is thoroughly misguided noise. The Nobel process is impervious to lobbying. In Trump’s case it would clearly not help and likely backfire

Tim Payne changed his name to Parlatore.
And: “He was inspired to pursue a legal career in part by observing the “legends” who served in criminal defense during the “heyday of organized crime,” Parlatore told a podcast.”

His law firm partner defended Gotti

OpenAI's models are amazing. They can replace your radiologist with a bot that cheerfully misdiagnoses and congratulates you, then offers to send you hyper-realistic dick pics when you get home.

“We often talk about the fact that we work with some of the biggest emitters on the planet because we believe that’s how we actually affect climate change,” said Blair Ciesil, the global leader of talent at McKinsey”

college football coach market is nuts: ”none of the 30 highest-paid coaches in the country have a buyout of less than $20M”
From a signaling POV buyouts are a little odd: coaches insist on them bc they can, and expect to be fired.
Wouldn’t you prefer a self-confident coach who said no buyout?
