NEW: TikTok released an AI video generator. We found it recited “Mein Kampf" and Osama Bin Laden on command with no watermarks. It pulled access after CNN asked them about it. cnn.com/2024/06/21/business/…

Wemby crying on the court, Wemby bitterly quoting Camus in the postgame presser, Wemby taking an offseason vow of silence, Wemby soloing Mt Everest, Wemby returning with a Sanskrit face tattoo, admit it he’d be way more entertaining with one finals loss first

Trump now claims to never draw pictures. I tracked down a woman who solicited two doodles from Trump for a charity auction in 2004. She told me she was “shocked and impressed” by how good his were.

Trump said he never ‘wrote a picture.’ This woman solicited two drawings from him | CNN Politics

After the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday night on a 2003 letter to Jeffrey Epstein that included Donald Trump’s name and an outline of a naked woman, the president’s denial was comprehensive.

HBO kept an incredibly tight lid on the film. Not surprisingly, the crypto market went nuts and Polymarket’s betting pool grew to over $30 million dollars. My previous interview with Hoback was widely dissected by bettors hunting for clues. (Thanks for watching!)

New: Pro-crypto politicians want the US gov to get directly into the bitcoin business. Trump has called for a "stockpile" while RFK Jr. and Sen. Lummis (R-WY) have gone further, proposing the US gov spend billions on a "bitcoin reserve." I talked with @SilvermanJacob and @allisondmorrow about the new frontier of pro-crypto policies.
