| Work How a Dating Show Host Spends Her Sundays  Born and raised in New Jersey, Ms. Dag graduated from New York University in 2017 with what she describes as “a misguided dream that I was going to change the world with political satire.” Instead, she went viral interviewing her male friends about female anatomy on TikTok, and launched “Hot & Single” on Valentine’s Day last year. |
| Work Senate passes bill renewing key FISA surveillance power moments after it expires  Warner said that allowing FISA to expire would have put the U.S. in “uncharted territory” as companies who work with the government to provide intelligence might have stopped doing so without a reauthorization. |

| Work L.A. council member to seek more money to help tenants in Chinatown apartment building  As part of the deal, Botz will have an additional 10 years to repay a $3.5-million redevelopment loan at 1% interest. A second, $1.85-million loan will eventually be forgiven, as long as the landlord adheres to the terms of his agreement with the city, housing officials said. |
| Work Commentary: Spring is a real thing in L.A., if you go to the mountains  For years now, with several of “my” spots having been blasted by fire, every trip into the local mountains has felt like one last pilgrimage. The ephemeral majesty of this spring may feel like a reprieve, but I won’t assume how long it might last. |
| Work Solving the mystery of a human jawbone found in an Arizona boy's rock collection  “Your DNA could be that key piece that brings it home for us that are working on these [investigative] cases, solving violent crime cases, solving missing persons cases,” Binder said. “Every member of the public has a chance to make an impact by doing that.” |

| Work This Therapy Helps Victims of Violent Crime. Who Will Pay for It?  In addition to the Coney Island facility, two other trauma recovery centers have opened in New York over the past year, one in East Flatbush and another in the Bronx. Their foremost evangelist is the City Council speaker, Adrienne Adams, who was central to establishing them. But the funding — $5 million, which has come entirely from the Council’s discretionary funds over the past two budget cycles — is not enough to sustain them. |
| Work Alfred Molina on the Museum He Never Misses When He?s in New York  I like to start my day with something bright and fast, like Art Pepper or Dexter Gordon. I’ve listened to jazz since I was a teenager — I wasn’t good at sport or popular with the girls, but I loved music, particularly Black American music. I used to read the music papers — the weekly Melody Maker, the New Musical Express — and whenever a review of a band or album used the word “jazz,” I would try to listen to it. |
| Work Peter Morgan Turns His Pen From ?The Crown? to the Kremlin  “It’s just a delicious combination of characters,” Morgan, 60, told me, in an interview at the Ethel Barrymore Theater in Times Square. “There’s a sort of violence, whereas in ‘The Crown,’ there’s this politeness and there’s repression, and it’s very female. There’s something very male, very violent about this play. It felt like a natural thing to do, having spent so much time in the one world to go into another world just to relax a little.” |

| Work The wheelie bag rides again as 'nanna glamour' takes hold  John Lewis sells two Rolser trolleys, both of which are currently sold out, perhaps because the reviews on its website are so enthusiastic: "Had a stigma about buying one until I saw this," said one buyer, while another swooned that it was "very lightweight and glides along nicely". Another said it "gives me the confidence to walk to the shops instead of using my car and paying to park". |
| Work Labour targets TikTok microinfluencers ahead of election  He said influencer content only works if the public believes an endorsement is legitimate – and he predicted this would become an issue during the election: “You want real voters, you want real people.

| Work 8 Hits of the Venice Biennale  This year’s guest curator is Adriano Pedrosa, the director of the São Paulo Museum of Art.

(More on all this in the coming days.) |
| Work Where Jurors in Trump Hush-Money Trial Say They Get Their News  Lawyers for each side have a limited number of so-called peremptory challenges, which they can use to dismiss jurors without having to state a reason.

| Work ?Aging in Place, or Stuck in Place??  But they can’t find one. Local developers are putting up four-level townhouses with even more stairs.

| Work Americans? New TV Habit: Subscribe. Watch. Cancel. Repeat.

| Work A Bill to Limit Canada?s Trade Negotiators on Farm Goods Edges Nearer to Law  Under the system, to avoid price-killing oversupply, farmers are assigned a production quota — effectively a license to produce milk, chicken, turkey or eggs — that they cannot exceed.

| Work Bucking Trump, Anti-Abortion Movement Shows Deep Roots in Arizona  This commitment to Arizona’s 1864 ban — a near-total ban that the State Supreme Court recently reinstated — underscores the power of conservative Christian abortion opponents in shaping American abortion laws, even as they represent a minority view.

| Work Your Android phone could have stalkerware -- here's how to remove it | TechCrunch  Consumer-grade spyware apps are frequently sold under the guise of child monitoring or family-tracking software, but are referred to as “stalkerware” and “spouseware” for their ability to also track and monitor partners or spouses without their consent. These spyware apps are downloaded from outside of Google Play’s app store, planted on a phone without a person’s permission and often disappear from the home screen to avoid detection. |
| Work Too many models | TechCrunch  How many AI models is too many? It depends on how you look at it, but 10 a week is probably a bit much. That’s roughly how many we’ve seen roll out in the last few days, and it’s increasingly hard to say whether and how these models compare to one another, if it was ever possible to begin with. So what’s the point? |
