What if ponies had wings? What if dinosaurs walked around smoking giant doobies? What if fish had bicycles and we all wore them on our heads like little hats
What if the A.I. bubble “is an inevitable part of developing and adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity and growth?” Mohamed El-Erian writes.
Opinion | A.I. Is a Bubble. Maybe That’s OK.
Investors’ excitement rightly reflects the potential transformation of the entire economy.

The Diplomat w/o spoilers: I’m still entertained but holy shit, I did NOT sign up for Scenes from a Marriage (bonus content: Everyone Else’s Romances Too). I signed up for geopolitical intrigue and a plot. Actors are fantastic tho.

Most of this Atlantic article is so clearly written by AI it’s funny. And the premise! I’d speculate it was proposed by a tween intern, but, I have more faith in tweens and interns. (This link doesn’t give them traffic.)

This is important. The US has lost years worth of medical trials — for treatments that were almost ready to save lives and now have to be started over. Take the ball and run (soccer version).
With the European Commission and the Heads of Medicines Agencies, we have set new targets to make the EU a top destination for #clinicaltrials and speed up patient access to innovative #medicines.

News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.

Look at this photo caption. “Activists.” This is a photo of children, holding photos of murdered children. This is kids (and adults) who just want it to STOP. The media calling this ‘activism’ is one reason it doesn’t.

CHILD: *pulls another book from the shelf and sits down *

Lol this wins a prize for Most Baldly Self-Serving article planted by industry. Hotels want to serve less free food and “downsize cakes, pastries and muffins” for the sake of — you guessed it! — sustainability and customers. So thoughtful.
Is it time to retire the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet?
Once a hallmark of hotel luxury, the breakfast buffet is under scrutiny for its waste, overconsumption and environmental impact.

Alien Earth (non-spoilery) so far: Like the characters — Wendy! — but need more character development quickly. Ready to be done with flickering-light sets. Looking forward to Hawley’s take on, uhhh, late-late-stage capitalism.

Mondo was like the sleeper agent of the last summer Olympics. Activated our dormant love of pole vaulting.
Olympic champion Mondo Duplantis set the 13th pole vault world record of his career by clearing 6.29m at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial in Budapest, Hungary.
It’s also his third world record of 2025.

Just saw and really liked the quiet little documentary ‘Folktales.’ It’s one to see on the big screen. (Have always been fascinated by folk schools, but even teenage me wasn’t brave enough for the Arctic Circle.)
The Story Behind 'Folktales' and the Arctic Refuge Where Teens Escape the Anxieties of Modern Life
A new documentary travels to a folk school in Arctic Norway where teens spend more time with Huskies than on their phones.
