Le Premier Jour

Le Premier Jour.. the first day. 🎉 

I’ve frankly been feeling bored ad nauseam lately. Not in the I-don’t-have-anything-to-do way but moreso a bystander’s experience even though I have plenty going on. So, here’s to being loud and forging a center aisle for my voice to reach your inbox.

Stick with me as the formatting and sections take shape.

Art:

The Sistine Chapel may show woman with breast cancer.

An art heist gone wrong: Andy Warhol robbers were only able to fit 2 of 4 paintings in their getaway car.

Science:

AI may revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry.

Scientists are dropping fake whale poop into the ocean.

News:

Volkswagen to invest $5.8 billion in Rivian.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to co-lead Department of Government Efficiency (yes, that is DOGE for short).

Apple now sells replacement parts for iPhone 16 and 16 Pro.

23andMe is laying off 40% of its workforce.

Current Reads:

The sexual paintings buried by Mount Vesuvius.

The Wall Street Journal recently did this piece on the Hermès heir who seemingly has $13 billion worth of shares with declared unknown whereabouts. You really must read for yourself as it illustrates well how dashing and fantastical a life it seems being so drippingly wealthy that somehow inconsequentially 13 billion dollars goes missing.
