Insiders describe Linda Yaccarino's tumultuous partnership with Elon Musk and say the two failed to gel as Musk's blunt style clashed with Yaccarino's polish (Financial Times)

I guess the US Army can't defend itself and needs a fence to protect its tanks from the public that paid for those tanks.

DC prepares for Trump's June 14 military parade
As Washington, D.C., cleans up from the weekend’s culmination of World Pride, the capital city’s focus now shifts straight into a very different mass event — the June 14 military parade to honor the 250th birthday of the army and the 79th birthday of President Donald Trump. Army officials have estimated around 200,000 attendees for the evening military parade. More than 18 miles of security fencing will be erected and 175 magnetometers will be deployed at security checkpoints for the birt…

The Iranian Parliament has voted in support of closing the Strait of Hormuz,
one of the world's most critical oil transit chokepoints
Any final decision on retaliation will rest with the country's Supreme National Security Council and leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The parliament vote merely advises him of the option to pursue.

Rigid Algebras and Cospans
We introduce rigid algebras, a generalization of rigid categories to arbitrary symmetric monoidal $(\infty,2)$-categories. We develop their general theory, showing in particular that the a priori $(\infty,2)$-category of rigid algebras is in fact an $(\infty,1)$-category. For the $(\infty,2)$-category of cospans in an $(\infty,1)$-category $\mathcal{C}$, we show that the $(\infty,1)$-category of rigid commutative algebras is canonically identified with $\mathcal{C}$. This identification is used…

Turns out life doesn’t just imitate art
— sometimes it borrows the script, reboots it with National Guard checkpoints and streams it live from Los Angeles.
Case in point:
A Day Without a Mexican,
the cheeky 2004 sci-fi satire from Mexican filmmakers Sergio Arau and Yareli Arizmendi,
in which California wakes up to find every person of Latino descent has vanished into a mysterious haze,
leaving Angelenos panicking over who’s going to mow the lawns and run …

The Outrageous 20-Year-Old Movie That Predicted Trump’s America
In 2004 ‘A Day Without a Mexican’ was intended to be a political satire. In 2025 it seems all too real. Plus, Joel Grey auctions off his old lederhosen (and some nudes!) TikTok star Khaby Lame demands $1.2 million to talk, and Chet Hanks is a no-show at his book reading.
