Contrarian take: What if regime change has actually been achieved? Taking the fallout for an apparent surrender might just be a mirage, and Trump could be praised for this for decades to come. Did he just pull a Ronald Reagan?

What President Trump’s goals were when he launched the Iran war in February compared to what he signed tonight.

Anshul Kuncha was 28.

An Indian man in Pennsylvania, working late at night, delivering pizza , trying to build a life.

He was lured to a vacant apartment with a fake order.
The pizzas were left untouched.
He was followed.
Then he was shot dead.
And the silence is DEFEANING.

If this were any other community, politicians would be holding press conferences, media panels would be running nonstop, and every activist account would be screaming his name.

But because he was Indian, people want to file it away as “just another crime story.”

No.

Say his name: Anshul Kuncha.

An Indian immigrant was murdered while working.
His life mattered.
His family deserves JUSTICE.
And America needs to stop treating violence against Indians like background noise.

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.

She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.

Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.

Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.

Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.

She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.

By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

Uber’s CEO watching his engineers write code after slashing the AI budget:

[Vishal Jain @vjain22]

When the measure of a good job is token usage, engineers will use more tokens. Why grep or navigate code when you can just chat?

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Uber’s COO says heavy AI spending is getting harder to justify, as higher token usage fails to show a clear payoff in consumer features.

@DivaJain2 crude oil imported, LPG/CNG imported, cooking oil imported, heavy machinery auto components & airplanes imported, most electronics imported, cheap plastic stuff like toys imported, fertilizers, pharma APIs.. and you ask depreciating INR won't make India lose purchasing power?

what i’m really curious about is what happens to SF real estate when all the AI Lab Bros cash in on their billions in equity at the same time as all the mid-level FAANG employees get laid off, what happens then

[Vishal Jain @vjain22]

@mayukh_panja Not true for all Indian consulates. US consulates in SF turn around passport pretty fast. From application to receiving new passport, it makes barely 4 weeks.

@ecommerceshares He did great but a large part of gains came from purchasing power increase in Asia and hence more people buying apple products there.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page.

It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection.

Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do.

Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades.

The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water.

It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left.

The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero.

When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.
