Mon. 03/24: DNA, DMs, and Dumb Decisions

Private chats re Houthi attacks in Yemen in Signal got leaked to a journalist like it was WhatsApp in 2012, Trumpito’s back in court doing his best impression of a man who’s never read the Constitution, and 23andMe just filed for bankruptcy—which, let’s be real, is poetic for a company that sold your DNA like Groupon coupons. We say goodbye to the champ George Foreman, grill king and heavyweight icon, and spotlight the 21-year-old in NYC who just became the first person cured of sickle cell disease with a one-and-done gene therapy. Science wins. Privacy loses. And Trump’s still Trump.
