Scoop: They tried to bury this news on Black Friday, but, well...

Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov.

We called the auditor.

He resigned in August.

That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks.

Highlight of the holiday: Getting a tattoo with my mom, sister and nephew - a first for all of them, and my first in literally half a lifetime.

Verdict: You haven't truly lived till you've seen your 78-year-old mother get tattooed by a bald man in a leather kilt.

The biggest social media company literally blamed the "media narrative" for an internal study that showed exposure to Facebook could be damaging users' mental health.
In 2019 Meta did causal research looking at the effects of randomly asking Facebook users to stop using the platform for a month. After the first week of the study, results showed that leaving the platform was good for people’s mental health.

Meta then shut the project down.

Definitely not going to excuse Waymo on this one, but for perspective: at least 50 precious human lives that we know of have been ended by Tesla's Autopilot/FSD.

Sad as it is, a dead cat is a long, long way from the biggest scandal in this technology.
“You can tell by the love and support he’s getting from the community that he was amazing.”

KitKat, known as the "Mayor of 16th Street," was killed by a Waymo cab last week, sparking calls for more regulation of driverless cars.

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com
