SNL Weekend Update tackles Pope Trump.
In Trump's second term, Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update anchors Michael Che and Colin Jost are thriving, with no shortage of absurd headlines to skewer. The news of Trump posting an image of himself as the pope barely two weeks after the death of Pope Francis opened the show. Trump apparently attended the funeral, walked past the open casket, and thought, "Oh, we should do a 'who wore it best.'" He joked that they shouldn't threaten us with a good time. The duo made fun of Musk, who stepped back from his role at DOGE. Che said that Elon pulled out a little too late.

Darth Vader's Absence misunderstands Star Wars.
I like Lucasfilm. It is one of the best political sci-fi TV series since Babylon 5 and sometimes feels like a version of Star Wars. Even though the show talks about Emperor Palpatine a lot, I can live without an onscreen appearance of him. I think it's okay for fans to have an opinion about Darth Vader not appearing on the show. It isn't so much a disappointment that we won't get a glimpse of Vader through a Andor lens, it's that the reason Tony Gilroy offered was vague and unconvincing. When asked by Rolling Stone if he ever thought of bringing Vader in to Andor Season 2, the Andor showrunner said that was never on his agenda. Darth Vader's writing is limited. I have done it....

Trump doesn't want Powell to be fired and wants him to cut rates.
President Donald Trump said he doesn't plan to fire Federal Reserve Chair Powell despite his criticism over the pace of interest rate cuts. He said in an interview that aired Sunday on Meet the Press that he wouldn't do that. On Wednesday, Trump issued another denunciation of the central bank chief as he faces growing pressure from the backlash to his sweeping deployment of tariffs. Powell's term as chair ends in May 2026. The Fed is expected to keep rates steady when they meet on Tuesday and Wednesday. Government data on Friday showed a 177,000 jump in April payrolls. Powell could face more pressure if the Fed declines to cut rates. According to Trump, Powell doesn't want to cut rates because he's not a fan of his....

The chart of the week is '10x Money Multiplier' for Bitcoins.
Many publicly traded firms have adopted Michael Saylor's strategy of buying for the balance sheet in order to enrich their stock prices and shareholders. What does it mean for the future of the price? The results are striking. We arrive at a rough estimate of the potential price impact if we apply a 10x money multiplier and divide the total supply by the market cap. The analysts at NYDIG reviewed the cumulative equity valuation of Strategy, Metaplanet, Twenty One, and Semler Scientific since they adopted the bitcoin buying strategy. The analysts were given an idea of how much money they could raise by issuing shares at current stock prices. The projected price is nearly 50% higher than the current spot price. Wall Street money managers wouldn't mind showing this PnL chart to their clients because of the current uncertainty in the market....

The Americans I talk to will sacrifice for change.
Since President Donald Trump announced a flurry of tariffs and then paused to negotiate trade deals, the Democrats and even some Republicans have cited polls that show Americans think this policy will hurt them economically, and so surely they must be souring on him. In the last few days, I have traveled around West Virginia, Indiana and Kentucky, and I could not find a single Trump voter who regretted their vote. Not one. In Jeffersonville, Indiana, I met Terry and his wife, who were both in their 60s. Terry flies horse trainers to Kentucky Derby events in Arizona, where he runs a small business. Terry said that change can hurt at first. Time is needed for Trump to make that change. I asked the couple if part of the deal was that it has to be a meaningful and lasting change....

SNL turned Trump's 100 days into an executive order bonanza.
It feels less like a milestone and more like a dream for President Donald Trump, who has officially crossed the 100 day mark in office for his second term. Saturday Night Live opened with a Cold Open featuring James Austin Johnson as the president. Much like FDR, Trump has a deep affection for signing executive orders. Some of Trump's executive orders have been little more than press releases, but SNL Trump's executive orders have become absurdist fun. One of the highlights from the Cold Open is an order reinstating Columbus Day, something that real Trump plans to do even though it's already a federal holiday. The "Belichick Law" makes it socially acceptable for men over 70 to date women who are barely out of college.

As Israeli researchers face academic boycott, the battle for biblical archaeology is intensifying.
A leading archaeology journal has effectively barred submissions by Israelis on Judea and Samaria unless they have cooperated with the relevant Palestinian authorities, in what analysts say is a symptom of the harm caused by a global campaign to whitewash the Jewish people's history in the Land of Israel. According to a report recently published by The Press Service of Israel (TPS-IL), the Palestine Exploration Quarterly (PEQ), a peer-reviewed journal of the London-based Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF), is refusing to accept submissions from researchers affiliated with institutions operating in what it refers The PEF has an ethical policy. Charlotte Whiting, the journal's editor-in-chief, said that international law is the main aspect of this. The journal does not collaborate with institutions founded by an occupying power and will not support, encourage, or publish research by any academic associated with such institutions. According to Israeli archaeologists, any cooperation with Palestinian authorities would be impossible because they would be treated as enemies. They said that their work is in many instances shunned by the broader academic world and that researchers are forgoing focus on the biblically significant areas of Judea and the West Bank to protect their careers. Yishai Fleisher, the international spokesman for the cradle of Jewish civilization located in Judea, told Fox News Digital that there was a deliberate attempt to undermine Jewish historical ties to the land....

The advocates want the retrofitting of existing homes in fire zones.
Fire prevention groups have pushed residents to make their homes fireproof. People need to replace old vents, roofs and windows if they want to protect their home from a conflagration. There are limited incentives to encourage homeowners to upgrade. Public interest groups are urging local leaders to make retrofits mandatory now that the memory of the Los Angeles County fires is still fresh. The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety called on L.A. city and county leaders to require retrofits for surviving homes. What is home hardening?

Joe Rogan sat down with Dr. Suzanne Humphries, co-author of "Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History", one of my favorite books on vaccines. When vaccine science is misrepresented to portray them as safe and effective, they are not. She did a great job in the Rogan interview. I don't think anyone in history has laid out such a convincing and compelling case about the vaccine downsides. After decades of grinding away, her hard work is finally getting the attention it deserves, and I'm thrilled to have written the forward to her book. There are more details here.
