Went into this story thinking it was a profile of two brilliant pranksters—Connor Gaydos and Peter McIndoe of Birds Aren’t Real fame. They started Enron as a satire of greed and corporate buffoonery. But those things aren’t as easy to defeat as you might imagine. 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Today Melania Trump met with execs in support of AI in education. It's part of a big push by tech companies and the Trump Administration to get AI products into schools fast. If there's an American child you care about, pls read my recent article about what's happening. Let's be informed.

This is a really terrific piece that reads like an American tragedy: a smart and curious young man interested in history and technology bought into the online far-right ideas about govt and used his talents to eviscerate it.

On his 100th day in office in 2017 Trump headed to a PA wheelbarrow factory to launch his trade policy and put the US on the path to today’s tariffs.

Eight years on that factory is closed. The wheelbarrows are now made in China.
