Waited So Long: “A federal jury on Monday found that tech billionaire Elon Musk waited too long to bring his lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and others, throwing out the suit that claimed Altman had unlawfully enriched himself from the organization Musk and Altman co-founded.” (This was like a Yankees/Dodgers game. I was hoping both sides would lose.)
+ Minor Inconvenience: “A study of insurance claims for 1.8 million children found that the number of families raising mental health issues at visits to general practitioners rose sharply over a decade, with anxiety by far the fastest-growing complaint.”
+ Broken Families: “The findings point to a scale of family separations that far eclipses that of the first Trump administration’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy in 2018, when about 5,500 children were removed from their parents immediately after crossing the southern border.” Over 100,000 Family Separations in Deportation Push, Report Estimates.
+ Tennessee No Evil: Removing voting rights is just one part of a much broader attack. For example, “Knox County Schools in Tennessee is removing Alex Haley’s 1976 novel ‘Roots’ from its libraries.”
+ Lane Change: “Everlane built its following in the early 2010s around what it called ‘radical transparency’ on pricing and supply chain practices, positioning itself as a sustainability-minded, affordable basics brand.” So much for those goals. The brand just got acquired by Shein.
+ The Rai Stuff: “You won’t find one person on property who’s not happy for him.” … “There’s very few people that are nicer and kinder human beings than Aaron.” … “He’s such a good dude.” Those were just some of the comments made in celebration of an unlikely winner of golf’s PGA Championship. We’re gonna have to rethink where nice guys finish. Why all of golf was glad to see Aaron Rai win the US PGA Championship.
