This morning, Netflix stock hit a 52-week high. They made institutional investors alone $106+ billion dollars this year. $106 BILLION. Fran Drescher, for her entire life, is worth $25 million.

Fun fact: Hedy Lamarr pioneered the tech that would one day become the underpinnings of Wi-Fi, in part because she was the “trophy wife” sitting at the table with access to so many technical conversations. They thought she was too dumb to understand, but she took in every word.

I’ve recently been reading bios of incredible women from the past century. Started with Juliette Greco, then onto Elsa Schiaparelli, now doing Hedy Lamarr. The running theme? Being underestimated can be used to your advantage.

In conclusion, if you (like me) are having trouble figuring out what kind of house you can afford, and if you should even try, it's because nothing is clear and everything's expensive theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

1) Thread for today: I am not going to opine on the Supreme Court's ruling except to tell a story about a late and valued friend. The story will suffice for the sum of my thoughts about affirmative action. I was working at the student newspaper at the University of Maryland...

During a certain period, Sears offered complete houses in large do-it-yourself (DIY) kits through their catalogs. These kits were transported by train and encompassed around 30,000 components, including wiring, plumbing, and heating, which collectively weighed over 25 tons. Customers had the option to choose from more than 370 designs, and each kit included a 75-page instruction manual. Sears asserted that an individual with "average" skills could construct the entire house within a span of 90 days. Between 1908 and 1940, Sears managed to sell over 70,000 DIY homes at prices ranging from $600 to $6,000 (approximately equivalent to $8,400 to $84,000 in today's currency). One notable model, known as the Martha Washington (as depicted in the accompanying images), was sold for $3,028 (equivalent to $45,538 today) in 1921. In 2016, the same Martha Washington model was purchased for $1.06 million in Washington D.C. Remarkably, almost 70% of these Sears DIY houses are still standing today.

Such a fun session and Grady jumped in for his first showing! This was a really unique interview and we covered a lot of topics that I’m passionate about but don’t get to discuss often.
Zelda@zeldapoem

Danielle @DStrachman, Grady (her cat!) and I reflected on the best strategies for introverts to navigate group events. We also talked about the difficulty of becoming an adult, her dedication to bringing freedom to young people and rebellion! Watch more: youtu.be/gDkohptdvbs

Instant Pot parent company declared bankruptcy today. Sales went from $758m in 2020 to $344m in 2022. The Instant Pot is like a once-in-decade purchase, so PE guys tried to extend brand with Air Fryer, mini-oven and coffeemaker.

Exclusive: Westfield stopped paying its $558 million mortgage and is surrendering its namesake SF mall, the biggest in the city, to lenders in the wake of Nordstrom's planned closure and plunging foot traffic (down ~42% from 2019) and sales (down ~1/3) sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

Here’s how I used AI to clone a 60 Minutes correspondent’s voice to trick a colleague into handing over her passport number. I cloned Sharyn’s voice then manipulated the caller ID to show Sharyn’s name with a spoofing tool. The hack took 5 minutes total for me to steal the info.

60 Minutes hired an ethical hacker to show how easy it is to be scammed. She conned our unsuspecting colleague using artificial intelligence. cbsn.ws/3MOhmia
