Enhanced Games athlete in photo is James “The Missile” Magnussen. Australian swimmer with an Olympic silver medal. Said he’d “juice to the gills” if offered $1m to break 50m freestyle record of 20.88. Enhanced Games agreed.

For the inaugural Enhanced Games this weekend, Magnussen will also wear a full-body polyurethane super swimming suit that was banned after 2008 Beijing Olympics (he’s been training and doping at a facility in LV).

So an AI infrastructure company that happens to own the world’s dominant launch platform and satellite broadband network fascinating

Christopher Nolan admits he’s never used email or owned a smartphone.

Massie: I would have come out sooner but I had to call my opponent to concede and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv
