Thanks Doc Robinson: The NYPD is not required to protect New Yorkers, city lawyers argue in court filing
The argument came in response to a claim filed by Amanda Luci, who alleged NYPD officers failed to protect her from a mob of young men and boys who she said attacked her in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in 2025.
In her lawsuit, Luci said she was surrounded, kicked and threatened by the large group of people, most of whom were wearing traditional Orthodox Jewish garb, after they mistook her for a pro-Palestinian protester in front of a historic synagogue. Her lawsuit claims the NYPD officers who responded to the scene emboldened the mob by doing nothing to quell the situation, in part because they also believed Luci was expressing pro-Palestinian views. https://gothamist.com/news/the-nypd-is-not-required-to-protect-new-yorkers-city-lawyers-argue-in-court-filing

..At around 6:50 a.m. in New York, S&P 500 e-Mini futures trading on the CME recorded a sharp and isolated jump in volume, breaking from an otherwise subdued premarket backdrop. With thin liquidity typical of early trading hours, the sudden burst stood out as one of the largest volume moments of the session up to that point.
A similar pattern was observed in oil markets. West Texas Intermediate May futures also saw a noticeable pickup in trading activity at roughly the same time, with a distinct volume spike interrupting otherwise quiet conditions.
Roughly 15 minutes later, at 7:05 a.m., Trump said on Truth Social that the U.S. and Iran had held talks and that he was halting planned strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. That announcement prompted an instant rally in risk assets, with S&P 500 futures soaring more than 2.5% before the opening bell. West Texas Intermediate futures dropped nearly 6% following the announcement.....In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures were bought. $192 million in oil (CL) futures were sold.

..The new decree specifically bars the U.S. Surgeon General, the CDC, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) from pressuring platforms to censor, suppress, or otherwise curate content.
Federal officials from these agencies are now also prohibited from threatening social media companies with legal, regulatory, or economic sanctions in order to remove, suppress, or algorithmic reduce protected speech.
The decree further states that the government cannot use labels such as “misinformation,” “disinformation,” or “mal-information” as a justification to bypass First Amendment protections. https://www.themahareport.com/p/a-victory-for-free-speech-and-the

Justice Clarence Thomas said a service provider is liable for a user’s infringement only if it intended its service to be used for that purpose. “The provider of a service is contributorily liable for a user’s infringement only if it intended that the provided service be used for infringement, which can be shown only if the party induced the infringement or the provided service is tailored to that infringement,” he wrote.
Such intent exists only when the provider actively induces infringement - such as by marketing a product as a tool for piracy - or offers a service that is “not capable of ‘substantial’ or ‘commercially significant’ noninfringing uses,” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/supreme-court-limits-isps-liability-online-piracy

Goodbye rich black farm soil of Webberville, Texas: Elon Musk’s Terafab announcement is so ridiculously ambitious it should actually scare you — these numbers are straight-up mind-blowing:
•The factory will pump out 70% of TSMC’s entire global capacity (10 GW) and scale all the way to 1 terawatt at full build-out.
•Two AI chips per year will be enough to power a BILLION Optimus robots… plus millions of AI satellites.
•80% of the chips head straight to orbit, where the satellites pull 5× more solar power 24/7 to train Grok — and it’s way cheaper up there.
•The plant itself is 100 million square feet… literally the size of San Francisco. https://x.com/XCorpHub/status/2036196434371027121
Interest in short-term fasting (STF) and fasting-mimicking diets (FMDs) during chemotherapy has surged because of compelling preclinical biology and early human feasibility signals.
The clinical question is whether deliberately inducing a fasting-like metabolic state around chemotherapy cycles can:
reduce toxicity and improve tolerability (support dose intensity),
enhance antitumor efficacy (response, pCR ), and/or
improve patient-reported outcomes (fatigue, QoL).
Short-term fasting (STF) typically means 24–72+ hours of water (or near-zero calorie) intake before chemotherapy, sometimes continued for 12–48+ hours after. https://substack.com/home/post/p-189606321
