    Breathe at Your Own Risk

    Turns out, car exhaust and wildfire smoke aren’t just wrecking your lungs—they’re also speed-running your brain toward dementia. A massive study of 56 million people found that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) can accelerate Lewy body dementia by literally gunking up your neurons. Mice exposed to the same stuff even forgot how to mouse properly.

    NatCon 5: A Holy War on AI

    At the latest National Conservatism conference, the MAGA crowd went full medieval, calling for an actual “holy war” against AI. One professor accused Palantir’s CTO and the entire tech industry of being “globalist, feminized transhumanists”—which sounds like a metal band but plays more like paranoia. The uneasy alliance between Trump populists and the tech right? Yeah, that’s toast.

    AI Wins Again

    Half a million authors are about to get checks from Anthropic—but don’t pop champagne yet. This $1.5 billion settlement is more “hush money” than victory, since it dodges the big fight over whether AI can legally train on copyrighted books. Writers get $3,000; Anthropic gets a precedent that basically says, “Sure, we stole your stuff, but hey, fair use!”

    Partway down a residential street in the working-class town of Paulsboro, New Jersey, stood a seemingly unremarkable Italian deli. But this wasn’t just any sandwich shop. Despite its doors often being locked and its annual revenue having plummeted to a meager $13,976, this single business was the sole asset of a publicly traded company valued at an astonishing $113 million.

    This baffling discrepancy, initially exposed by a hedge fund billionaire as a prime example of financial "quasi-anarchy," had sent reporters and regulators on a wild chase for answers.

    The deli's president was the town’s beloved high school wrestling coach, who had inexplicably teamed up with a shadowy network of investors in Macau and a motley crew with a history of legal troubles. As the story unraveled, it revealed a tangled web of empty shell companies and fraud accusations.

    The deli raised a chilling question: was this a complex money-laundering front, or a new kind of meme stock whose value simply defied all reason?
