Kat Curtis| Forbes just dropped its 45th annual Forbes 400, the definitive ranking of the wealthiest Americans, and the numbers are genuinely mind-bending from top to bottom. Let us start with what it takes just to get on the list. This year the minimum net worth required to make the Forbes 400 was $4.4 billion dollars — a full $600 million higher than last year’s cutoff. That means there are now 590 American billionaires who are simply not wealthy enough to be included. The 400 people who did make it hold a combined net worth of $8 trillion dollars, a [See More…]

For the first time since the United States launched its war against Iran on February 28th, we now have a clear and official accounting of what this conflict has actually cost the American taxpayer. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released its findings this week, and they are extraordinary by any measure. The war has cost the Pentagon $38.1 billion dollars through August 1st alone. To put that in terms that are easier to grasp, that is an average of $246 million dollars spent every single day since the fighting began. More than half of that total — $21.7 billion — [See More…]

The Trump administration just made one of the most significant and far-reaching environmental decisions in American history. The EPA announced Monday that it is completely repealing all greenhouse gas emission limits on coal and natural gas power plants across the United States. And in a move that has alarmed environmental and legal experts equally, the administration is simultaneously taking a separate step designed to potentially prevent any future president from ever reimposing those limits again. Here is what that actually means in practical terms. Coal power plants that were required under Biden-era rules to either capture their smokestack emissions using [See More…]

A resignation letter just went viral in a way that should make everyone stop and think. Jacob Coxon, a 27 year old AI researcher who spent three years working at both OpenAI and Anthropic — the company behind the AI chatbot Claude — publicly quit his job on Tuesday and posted a warning on X that has since been viewed over 70 million times. His words were not subtle and they were not vague. He wrote that the companies racing to build artificial intelligence are heading straight toward self-improving superintelligence and gambling with all of our lives in the process. [See More…]

If you have been following the controversy around Meta’s Ray-Ban AI smart glasses, there is finally a meaningful update worth knowing about. These glasses feature a built-in capture LED, a small light on the front designed to signal to anyone nearby when the camera is actively recording. The concept was straightforward — transparency for bystanders. But users quickly discovered a loophole that completely undermined that intention. If you started recording while the LED was visible and then covered it mid-recording, the camera kept going. Secretly. In public. Without anyone around you having any idea. Meta has now addressed this with [See More…]

Stan Kroenke just became the undisputed most powerful sports owner on the planet. Kroenke Sports and Entertainment announced an agreement to purchase the Los Angeles Angels for $4 billion dollars, a new MLB record and a staggering number on its own. But when you add it to everything Kroenke already owns, the picture becomes truly jaw-dropping. Here is the complete list. The NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, Super Bowl champions. The NBA’s Denver Nuggets, NBA champions in 2023. The NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, Stanley Cup champions in 2022. Arsenal FC, one of the most storied clubs in English Premier League history.

Krysta Lynn| This one is going to surprise a lot of parents. Young adults between the ages of 18 and 21, who are legally prohibited from sports betting in most US states, have bet an estimated $5.4 billion on the Kalshi prediction market so far in 2026. Five point four billion dollars. The vast majority of it, $3.9 billion, went directly on sports bets and parlays. So how is this legally possible when most states set the minimum gambling age at 21? The answer is a loophole that the gambling industry is furious about. Kalshi operates not as a state-regulated [See More…]

Alana Blaire| Grand Theft Auto 6 just broke the internet, and the game is still months away from launching. On Thursday August 27th, Rockstar Games released a 26-minute extended preview of the game exclusively on Netflix first, in a move that analysts immediately described as unprecedented for a video game release. The reaction was instantaneous and overwhelming. Netflix experienced bandwidth errors and crashes within minutes of the preview going live. Twitch crashed simultaneously as millions of viewers tried to stream their reactions in real time. And in the 24 hours that followed, YouTube racked up more than 10 million views [See More…]
