I've been listening to Dan Maraya on repeat today.
When I was growing up in Jos, #Nigeria, back in the 80s we only had 1 TV channel. Before transmission started at 4pm it'd show videos of a skinny guy playing a banjo and singing in Hausa.
That was Dan Maraya (dan in Hausa means 'of', maybe a little like 'Mac'). To be clear, I hated his music back then; I was into hip-hop. But today, I'm finding it comforting and nostalgic.

A 10-year moratorium on state AI laws survives in the Senate budget bill.
Congress can still vote to effectively bar states from enforcing their own AI laws after what Politico calls the Senate’s “rules referee” decided it meets the criteria to be included in the bill. That slashes opponents’ hope it would be excluded through the Byrd Rule, which restricts the kind of provisions that can be included in reconciliation bills. The Senate version ties the enforcement ban to states’ ability to receive broadband infrastructure funds.

Debunking image allegedly showing Israeli F-35 fighter jet shot down by Iran
The picture spread after Israel launched a surprise attack on a range of targets in Iran, resulting in retaliation.
The image depicts a house with a garage, illuminated by spotlights. The house has a blue exterior with a wooden overhang and a door with a window above it. A red arrow points from the house to a circular inset, which shows a bowl containing a yellow liquid, possibly oil. The inset is surrounded by a red border, emphasizing the bowl's contents. The house is set against a backdrop of trees and a cloudy sky. The pathway leading to the garage is bordered by a low wall with green plants. The overall scene suggests a focus on the bowl's contents, possibly indicating a step in a process or a demonstration.

I think a mark of a really sharp mind is the ability to make any idea feel approachable and understandable to someone who isn’t familiar with it. And a mark of the opposite is the insecurity that leads them to raise barriers and always try to make the simplest things seem intimidating.
