Half the headlines are lies. I'm trying to figure out which half

A UK judge ruled that Chinese law governs fraud victims' claims to 61,000 seized BTC, a blow to the claimants.

It moves the UK closer to keeping a roughly $5B Bitcoin haul.

Should victims be paid or the state keep it?

Hackers hit hundreds of French supermarkets and made their fridges heat to 122°F, spoiling food and sparking fires.

A cyberattack that now causes physical damage.

Are we ready for hacks on infrastructure?

Moody's forecasts data centers could use 17% of Dutch electricity and 30% of Ireland's by 2035.

The warning: higher energy bills unless governments step in.

Should AI companies pay for the grid they strain?

Meta says it has caught up to the AI frontier with two new models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full.

They follow Muse Spark, the first release from its new Superintelligence Labs.

Believable, or marketing?

X now sells Premium, Grok and Cursor in one monthly subscription.

Social, chatbot and coding tool in a single bill.

Is the everything-app finally taking shape?

A Bitcoin whale that held through the March 2020 crash just moved $378 million.

The wallet received 4,582 BTC when it was worth about $40.8 million.

Profit-taking, or just reshuffling?

https://t.co/OpbCbkohG0, one of the first breakout startups of the AI boom, has filed for bankruptcy and is selling assets to Disney.

It faced lawsuits over chatbot safety.

Is this the first of many AI companion apps to fail?

Trump's Russian diesel deal has put Republican senators in a bind.

It's meant to cut fuel prices before the midterms, but many in the GOP despise the dictator on the other side of it.

Cheaper diesel or a political liability?

One person is dead and several are hurt after a rollercoaster accident at Six Flags' Georgia park.

The company has closed nine similar rides, and its shares fell more than 10% after hours.

Should identical rides worldwide be inspected before reopening?

The chip rout is going global.

Micron, SoftBank and ASML all fell Tuesday as the U.S. semiconductor sell-off spread to Asia and Europe, and Bloomberg says cracks are growing across the AI trade.

Buying the dip, or the start of something bigger?

The CFTC has proposed defining event contracts as "swaps" under federal law, while excluding traditional casino gambling.

Several states are suing Kalshi and Polymarket over illegal gambling, and the CFTC has countersued.

Trading or betting?

@elonmusk @bot The employee analogy is the right frame, and it cuts both ways. A great hire still needs a manager, access limits and someone accountable when they get it wrong. Agents will need the same org chart.

@LeadingReport Closing nine similar coasters tells you this is being treated as a design question, not a one-off. The investigation will come down to the restraint system and the inspection records.

@WatcherGuru Every lab says it has caught up. The only benchmark that matters now is who people keep paying for after the launch week hype fades. Distribution is Meta's edge, retention is the test.

@coinbureau $800 billion in one session shows how crowded the AI trade got. When everyone owns the same story, the exit is narrow. Watch memory-chip earnings next, they decide whether this is a reset or a break.

BREAKING: RJ Mitte, who played Walter White Jr. in "Breaking Bad," has died at 34, Brownsville police confirmed.

He was also a prominent advocate for people with disabilities.

Which of his scenes will you remember?

Pope Leo has condemned the death penalty as backlash builds over Hegseth's plan for a public execution of the Fort Hood shooter.

Trump says he will "ultimately make the decision" on the livestream.

Should executions ever be public?
