Taiwan Quake: Taiwan rocked by 7.4 magnitude earthquake, leaving at least 9 dead and nearly 1,000 injured. Here are some photos from the worst earthquake to hit the island in 25 years. Quartz: Taiwan’s deadly earthquake stopped chipmaking at TSMC. The plant was only down for a brief time, but the earthquake was a reminder of how much of our chip-driven supply chain could go offline with one really bad event.

+ Let Them Eat: “In the worst conditions you can imagine — after hurricanes, earthquakes, bombs and gunfire — the best of humanity shows up. Not once or twice but always. The seven people killed on a World Central Kitchen mission in Gaza on Monday were the best of humanity. They are not faceless or nameless. They are not generic aid workers or collateral damage in war.” A must read from Jose Andres written in the hours after 7 World Central Kitchen workers were killed by an airstrike. NYT (Gift Article): Let People Eat. “In the worst conditions, after the worst terrorist attack in its history, it’s time for the best of Israel to show up. You cannot save the hostages by bombing every building in Gaza. You cannot win this war by starving an entire population.”

+ Care Less: “A state law enacted 48 years ago required the hospital to offer a forensic exam, often called a rape kit. A revision passed in 2018 also required the hospital to notify a sexual assault advocate on the girl’s behalf. But neither of those things happened.” APM: Survivors Sidelined. “How Illinois’ sexual assault survivor law allows hospitals to deny care.” (One of the most consistent stories uncovered by investigative reporting is the mistreatment—on often the vilifying—of sexual assault survivors.)

+ Trump Stakes: Yesterday, I gave a few of the many reasons why Trump’s new publicly traded company is a garbage investment. (Trump and Dump.) It will take a while to get to the bottom of all the shenanigans, but let’s warm up a bit. The Guardian: Trump Media saved in 2022 by Russian-American under criminal investigation. And, two brothers plead guilty to insider trading scheme linked to Trump’s media business. And here’s the least surprising headline of the day. Trump Sues Truth Social Company Co-Founders to Zero Them Out. (Next he’ll sue god out of his cut from the Bible sales.) How has he gotten away with everything for so long? There are a lot of answers. At least when it comes to the remarkably cut and dry documents case, the answer is Judge Aileen Cannon.

+ Quality and Quantity: Yesterday, I also covered the remarkable rise of women’s sports, especially this year’s March Madness. (I Am Woman, Hear Me Score.) Today, we have some numbers. Iowa’s win over LSU draws 12.3M views to smash record for most-watched NCAAW game. “That’s more than all but one NBA Finals game last season.”

+ Kiss and Sell: Remember Luis Rubiales, the president of the Spanish football federation who was canned because of an unwanted kiss delivered to Jenni Hermoso after last summer’s World Cup final? Well, he’s back in the news, but this time for a much more expected offense. “He is suspected of receiving illegal commissions when negotiating a lucrative deal to stage the Spanish Super Cup competition in Saudi Arabia.”
