Helllo! I'm historian Lucy Worsley and quite often I have to take an early morning taxi to work at @historicroyalpalaces Kensington Palace. I begin south of the river and take in quite a few London landmarks.

Nelly Korda has been dominant this season, which leads to a major conundrum at Riv this week: Bet her at a short price or try to find someone who can actually beat her.

A Yale-educated senator just dismantled Boeing's CEO in under 90 seconds using nothing but math.
Senator Josh - "What is it that you get paid currently?"
Dave - "That's well disclosed in our proxy documents."
Senator Josh - "Well, let me help you out. It's $32.8 million this year. Sound right?"
Dave - "Yes, it does."
Senator Josh - "That's a 45% increase over last year. Sound right?"
Dave - "Yes, it does."
Senator Josh - "You've got 32,000 machinists in the Pacific Northwest. They got 1% wage increases over 8 years. You got 45% just last year. Do you think maybe these folks deserve a raise?"
Dave - "They will definitely get a raise."
Then came the verdict.
"I've listened to your testimony. The gist seems to be that if you could just get your employees to comply, things would be better. I don't think the problem is with the employees. I think the problem is with you. It's the C-suite. It's the management. Your engineers are probably the best in the world. Your machinists are outstanding. You're the problem."
"I just hope to God that you don't destroy this company before it can be saved."

Geoffrey Boothroyd was a gun aficionado who wrote to IAN FLEMING asking him to change Bond's signature gun – a Beretta.
SEAN CONNERY — on the set of GOLDFINGER (1964) — introduces Boothroyd who shows us why he thought 007 needed a gun with more oomph.
While the PGA Championship grabs the headlines, the ‘STORY OF THE YEAR’ just happened on the Ladies European Tour.
In 2013, Leonie Harm went for a run & was hit by a drunk driver. She was given a 4% chance to live.
Harm just holed a putt on 18 for her first @LETgolf title. 🥲
Before I got triggered but thankfully I had Bob I was going to see - and he worked on my hip today sciatica was peaking around the corner past few days - it didn’t completely make its appearance - needless to say I worked through some shit at the gym
This player took PTO to play the LPGA in Mexico and cashed a paycheck
It's not often that a player has to take PTO to compete on the LPGA. Alana Uriell came into the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba in Mexico fully expecting to be by the pool on the weekend enjoying a margarita.
Instead, she found herself with a weekend tee time.
"I have a golf team with Visa that I play golf with regularly," said Uriell, "and I think they're at home right now cheering me on and saying, man, I played golf with her last week. We were having a White Claw together on the golf course."
Full story below!
Warren Buffett: "[Gambling] is a tax on stupidity."
"Rich people love [legalized gambling] because they don't have to pay. To the extent that states raise money from people who the dollar really means something to them, it actually relieves the taxes on me or other rich people. It's not direct, but it's the net effect."
"I don't like things that make a sucker out of people. I don't think the function of the government is to play its people for suckers."
I think this is the most insane thing the CIA has ever made public. 😨
They have a secret AI tool called Ghost Murmur.
It detects your heartbeat from 40 miles away using AI.
Not your phone. Not a tracker. Not a radio signal.
Your heartbeat.
It uses sensors built from synthetic diamonds to lock onto the electromagnetic fingerprint your heart produces every single beat, then pairs it with AI to filter that one signal from 1,000 square miles of noise.
Last week, a wounded American pilot was hiding in a mountain crevice in Iran.
No phone. No tracker. No way to call for help.
America found him anyway. From the sky. By listening to his chest.
But nobody mentioned the most important detail.
This was Ghost Murmur's first operational use. It's been sitting classified for years. Tested. Ready. Waiting.
They didn't reveal it to impress you. They revealed it because the rescue was already public.
Every technology a government admits to is the one they've already moved past.
Your heart has been broadcasting your location your entire life.
Someone just built the receiver.
One thing I can promise you with The Early Wedge is that you will laugh with us (or at us) throughout the show. You might get some winning picks too.
