WorkAre You Ready to Be a Leader? - Harvard Business Review (No paywall)The shift from being part of a team to leading one isn’t like flipping a switch. It’s a process, and it can be awkward. It can be especially difficult your identity differs from other leaders in your organization — for example, if you’re a young leader in an organization dominated by older leaders, or a woman in a male-dominated organization. WorkHow fashion conquered television - The Economist (No paywall)From Tokyo to Seoul, on to New York, London, Milan and Paris, there are more “fashion weeks” in September than there are weeks in the month. Models parade down catwalks in whimsical creations that people may marvel at in years to come—or not. Recently haute couture has also been starring in some of television’s most viewed and talked-about shows.

WorkDonald Trump's veteran problems keep growingDonald Trump has over the past few weeks found himself embroiled in a number of controversies involving military veterans, a community that, according to one expert, he has developed a "complex relationship" with. WorkCalifornia's governor has the chance to make AI historyIndependent journalism is more important than ever. Vox is here to explain this unprecedented election cycle and help you understand the larger stakes. We will break down where the candidates stand on major issues, from economic policy to immigration, foreign policy, criminal justice, and abortion. We’ll answer your biggest questions, and we’ll explain what matters — and why. This timely and essential task, however, is expensive to produce.
WorkHow to Rebuild a Broken FriendshipIn relationship research, there’s a concept known as “turning points.” These are moments when bonds change, either for better or worse—perhaps because of shifting life circumstances or something more dramatic, like a fight or reunion. WorkThe case for good jobs -- and why they're good for business tooMany of the jobs that keep the world running — like cleaning bathrooms, picking up trash, caring for the elderly — pay so poorly that workers can barely make ends meet. Nonprofit leader Zeynep Ton is intent on changing that, showing why everyone wins when companies pay their people livable wages and offer opportunities for growth.
WorkZelensky sacks Ukraine air force chief after F-16 crash - (No paywall)Zelensky did not specifically state the reason for Oleshchuk’s dismissal, but it comes days after an F-16 crashed on Monday during a deadly Russian missile and drone assault targeting infrastructure across the country. Oleshchuk called it the “most massive air attack” in two and a half years of war. WorkDigital twins are enabling scientific innovation - The Economist (No paywall)SCIENTISTS ARE no strangers to computer models. Some of the very first uses of computers to simulate reality, in fact, were built by physicists keen to understand the behaviour of subatomic particles, and meteorologists hoping to predict the weather. Over the 75 or so intervening years, computer modelling has become an integral part of scientific practice, informing everything from predictions of climate change to the monitoring of pandemics.
WorkWhy A.I. Isn't Going to Make Art - The New Yorker (No paywall)In 1953, Roald Dahl published "The Great Automatic Grammatizator," a short story about an electrical engineer who secretly desires to be a writer. One day, after completing construction of the world's fastest calculating machine, the engineer realizes that "English grammar is governed by rules that are almost mathematical in their strictness." He constructs a fiction-writing machine that can produce a five-thousand-word short story in thirty seconds; a novel takes fifteen minutes and requires the operator to manipulate handles and foot pedals, as if he were driving a car or playing an organ, to regulate the levels of humor and pathos. The resulting novels are so popular that, within a year, half the fiction published in English is a product of the engineer's invention. WorkBuy Experiences instead of Possessions to Build Social Connection - Scientific American (No paywall)The human being is a “social animal,” as Aristotle suggested. We have a fundamental need to belong. Yet we are living in a time when the U.S. Surgeon General has warned about an epidemic of loneliness and isolation. A lack of social connection can have negative consequences for both our mental and physical health. How, then, might we encourage the feelings of connectedness that are so integral to our well-being?

WorkWith X Blocked, Brazilians Find New Homes for Their ThoughtsOn Friday night, a string of goodbye posts began appearing from popular X accounts, including many fan accounts for certain celebrities. “As all administrators are Brazilian, it will not be possible for us to continue with activities at this time,” read a post from the user @21metgala, which posts updates about celebrities to its nearly 176,000 followers. “We’ll be on Bluesky and Instagram. 🤍” Work WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkSeven people killed and dozens injured in Mississippi bus crashThe transit company says it has 20 years of experience providing cross-border trips between 100 destinations in Mexico and the US. Its website promotes “a modern fleet of buses that receive daily maintenance,” and offers “trips with a special price for workers”.

WorkVenture-Backed Trumpism | Ben Tarnoff - The New York Review of Books (No paywall)Silicon Valley, strictly speaking, does not exist. Its geographic boundaries are fluid and contested; even the places considered central to it are oddly placeless. Driving through Menlo Park and Mountain View, you could be forgiven for thinking you were nowhere at all. What defines the Valley is something you can’t see: the velocity of the capital coursing through it. The region is home to more than $14 trillion worth of publicly traded companies, four of which are the largest on earth. It also includes some number of people who think Donald Trump should be the next president of the United States. WorkWorkWorkDallas Police Officer 'Executed' in Premeditated Attack, Officials SayFor some residents, the brutal manner in which the police said Officer Burks was killed called to mind a 2016 shooting, when a heavily armed sniper gunned down five officers in downtown Dallas during a protest against fatal police shootings. That shooting remains the deadliest single attack on law enforcement since Sept. 11. WorkTrump Signals Support for Marijuana Legalization in Florida“Someone should not be a criminal in Florida, when this is legal in so many other States,” he said. “We do not need to ruin lives & waste Taxpayer Dollars arresting adults with personal amounts of it on them, and no one should grieve a loved one because they died from fentanyl laced marijuana.” WorkWork3 Missing After Small Plane Crashes Into Oregon TownhousesAt some point during the crash, a power pole or tower fell, starting a brush fire, according to John Plock of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. “That fire, luckily, was kind of adjacent to a swampy area, so it didn’t really spread,” he said. WorkWorkWorkWorkHiker Is Found Dead in Grand Canyon National ParkThe death was the sixth fatality reported in Grand Canyon since July 31, according to previous park news releases. Others include an unidentified 80-year-old man who died after his boat flipped over in a river; Chenoa Rickerson, a 33-year-old woman whose body was found after a flash flood; and Leticia A. Castillo, 20, whose body was found 150 feet below an overlook. WorkWorkThe Order review: Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult star in a 'superbly acted' cop drama about US neo-NazisMathews seems to be a lot better at his job than his opponents are. While the FBI agents have a tendency to bungle their operations, and Husk himself is a recklessly impulsive mess, the tall, handsome and polite Mathews gets to make polished speeches about his beliefs, and to plan and execute his crimes with expert efficiency. Maybe it’s an accurate portrayal, but it verges on coming across as a positive one. I can’t help worrying that people who share Mathews\'s warped views might appreciate The Order more than Kurzel would want them to. WorkHas the Spread of Tipping Reached Its Limit? Don't Count on It.Ms. Jayaraman isn’t a fan of the tax exemption idea, though she is optimistic that the attention being paid to the issue could lead to policies she considers more important. One is the elimination of the subminimum wage, which allows businesses in some states to pay workers as little as $2.13 an hour as long as they receive enough in tips to bring them up to the full minimum wage. WorkIsrael Says It Has Recovered More Bodies in GazaPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel is holding out for a deal in which the country would be able to retain control of strategic parts of Gaza during the cease-fire and restart the war in the future. WorkWorkAs Ukraine Mourns a Pilot's Death, Jet's Crash Is Still a MysteryAs the nation mourned the death of the pilot, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine dismissed the head of the country’s Air Force and promised a thorough investigation of the incident, including the possibility raised by a Western official on Friday that it was the result of friendly fire from a Patriot missile battery. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkNo, a video game spin-off of The Batman is not in the works, James Gunn saysThe Batman, directed by Matt Reeves, popped back up in theaters on Wednesday as part of AMC’s celebration of the 85th anniversary of Batman. Work on a sequel is currently underway, and an HBO limited series focusing on The Penguin is slated to come out this fall. We aren’t getting a video game spin-off any time soon, though. And, in case you were wondering, “There is also no truth to Tubthumping by Chumbawamba being played on the set of Superman (this is a real rumor on Reddit someone just sent me!),” Gunn posted. WorkWorkBoeing's Starliner is coming back without a crew on September 6The space agency will cover Starliner\'s return live on NASA+, the NASA app and its website. As for the SpaceX Crew-9 mission that\'s replacing the Boeing\'s vehicle on the ISS, it\'s scheduled to launch no earlier than September 24. Instead of flying with four astronauts as planned, it will fly with two — NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov — to leave two seats empty for its return flight with Wilmore and Williams in February 2025. WorkSeeking Mavis Beacon is a wild search for a lost tech iconBut I\'d argue that\'s also part of the charm of Seeking Mavis Beacon. Jones and Ross aren\'t some true crime podcast hosts looking to create content out of controversy. They\'re young women who found comfort in one of the few faces in tech that looked like them. With this film, Jones and Ross could be similarly inspirational for a new generation of underrepresented techies.
