A new mark for our next chapter — introducing the new CNBC logo.

CNBC has a new logo. Here it is.

I worked at a university where the five highest paid employees were the men’s basketball coach, the former men’s basketball coach who was fired, the former men’s basketball coach who was fired before that one, the former president who had been fired, and the current president. In that order.

Today you can pre-order the 1X Neo humanoid robot for $20K. As in, it will come live in your house in 2026.* I spent a lot of time with Neo. You do not want to miss this wild video and column. *Also, a teleoperator might need to peer into your house. Like I said, wild. www.wsj.com/tech/persona...

Thirty years ago Monday, astronomers announced the first planet around a Sunlike star. Since then they have cataloged more than 6,000 alien worlds. I asked a bunch of astronomers what their favorite exoplanet is, and wrote about it for @nature.com. What's yours? 🧪 #astronomy

This, to me, is key. It’s not Mamdani’s background or religion or even his professed socialism — which let’s be real is manifesting in some fairly middle-of-the-road policy proposals — that freaks these guys out. It’s that he’s subverting the machine.

Just for fun, here are all the tariff letters from yesterday: Japan (25%) Korea (25%) South Africa (30%) Kazakhstan (25%) Laos (40%) Malaysia (25%) Myanmar (40%) Tunisia (25%) Bosnia and Herzegovina (30%) Indonesia (32%) Bangladesh (35%) Serbia (35%) Cambodia (36%) Thailand (36%)

Driving past the Wayne exit when you’re listening to Fountains of Wayne is also a fun moment

Jacksonville is launching an autonomous fixed bus route, the first one in the US! I don't expect unions to like it, but operating cost for transit is mostly labor cost, so if it could scale it could be transformative. Vehicles are way too small, though. www.jtafla.com/media-center...

Something I think about a lot is that, during the Republican primary in 2023-24, a colleague and I did a piece titled "Who’s Running for President in 2024?" It was just a simple graphics tracker with headshots, and we removed people as they dropped out. We kept it updated thru the election... 1/x 🧵

NHL legend Dominik Hasek has been a vocal critic of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This week, Hasek said he’s received death threats from former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, who is currently deputy head of Russia’s security council chaired by Vladimir Putin. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/630...

Last night I watched the funk documentary on PBS (it’s not new, just missed it when it came out) & Questlove was talking about the era where everyone had to take music class & that’s how we got all these amazing bands with horn players & I got so mad that we stopped doing that

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

Sad to hear about Val Kilmer, always enjoyed seeing him on screen. A few years ago my friend Leo co-directed a documentary based around 100s of hours of footage shot by Val behind the scenes of the films he'd worked on. it's well worth a look if you haven't seen it www.youtube.com/watch?v=f__e...
