I refuse to believe that the Tears for Fears, Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead or Aretha Franklin estate would be ok with serving as the soundtrack to Melania Trump’s self-adulation.

“We are the only nation able to keep Greenland safe” is such a Putinesque argument. Coming to save a troubled country from whatever enemy has been Russian invasion MO for decades. We in the former Czechoslovakia could tell you all about it… and so can Ukrainians, Georgians… #trump #davos

6/ This new betting obsession is especially harmful for young men. Millions of young men are withdrawing from social life and into solitary lives of betting - losing connection and thousands of dollars.
How sports betting can harm young men
Legalized sports betting is linked to rising bankruptcies, lower credit scores, and financial distress—especially for young men in low-income areas.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

A disconcerting number of high status people upended their worldviews because other people did not affirm that status in the way they thought appropriate.
And social media accelerated this because for high status people it is often the experience of people telling you that you are wrong.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.
