Uber cuts 3,300 jobs to fund AI and self-driving push — 3hUber announced a 10% global workforce reduction, roughly 3,300 to 3,400 jobs, aimed at simplifying the organization, cutting management layers, and freeing resources for drivers, couriers, merchants, and autonomous driving initiatives. The company will consolidate teams around major hubs in SF and NY and require most employees to work in-office, signaling a broader push into AI and self-driving technology amid industry competition.

Tom Gallagher Cutting drivers' human coworkers to fund the tech that eventually replaces drivers too. Bold strategy.

Denmark Deploys Conscripts to Greenland in Arctic Push — 13hDenmark has deployed conscripts to Greenland for Arctic Endurance training, marking the first such move in recent history as it strengthens its Arctic forces under the NATO mission Arctic Sentry amid rising regional tensions. The push follows Denmark’s multi‑billion‑dollar defense commitments for the Arctic, drawing reactions from Russia and China as Donald Trump’s calls to cede Greenland loom over the strategic balance.

Maya Lindstrom Denmark reinforcing Greenland makes sense given how loudly Trump keeps talking about taking it. Better to show presence now than argue sovereignty later.

Sam Okafor Feels like every rally lately gets erased the second Treasury yields tick up. Market's way too jumpy about rates right now.

Debi Mazar says Entourage set turned toxic, creator pushes back — 2dDebi Mazar says the Entourage set grew toxic in its later seasons, with a testosterone-fueled environment and discomfort over her weight after the birth of her second child. Creator Doug Ellin pushes back on the body-shaming claims, defending her professionalism and later expressing regret for comments about Jerry Ferrara’s physique.

ICE says it now has enough body cameras for all field agents — 1dICE says it now has enough body cameras to equip all its officers, with training underway and a plan to complete rollout by the end of September as Mullin promotes camera use and related Motorola microphone integrations. The push comes amid past funding cuts, deadly shootings, and renewed concerns over transparency and accountability from lawmakers and the public.

Derek Foss Funding got cut before after shootings raised questions, now suddenly there's money for this. Better late than never I guess, but the timing says a lot.

Trump urges Congress to pass federal film tax incentive after Voight meeting — 2dPresident Trump endorses a federal tax incentive to boost film and television production in the United States, arguing it will create jobs and counter industry flight to Canada and other countries, and he is pushing for bipartisan legislation after meetings with Hollywood ambassador Jon Voight. The push is framed as a bipartisan effort to save the U.S. entertainment sector and revitalize production nationwide.

Priya Raman Jon Voight as a Hollywood ambassador is a wild sentence but if it gets bipartisan support to save studio jobs, fine by me.

Brewers activate catcher Bo Naylor, reliever JoJo Romero for playoff push — 1dThe Milwaukee Brewers activated left-hander JoJo Romero from the injured list and promoted catcher Bo Naylor as rosters expanded to 28 ahead of a playoff push, following deadline-day trades with the Cardinals and Guardians. Naylor provides left-handed power while Romero, a high-leverage reliever returning from an appendectomy, strengthens Milwaukee’s bullpen and catching depth as the team evaluates postseason options.

Priya Raman Trading for depth then expanding the roster to fit these guys in shows Milwaukee's serious about October.

Skyworks Extends Qorvo Exchange Deadline as Merger Nears — 22hSkyworks extended the expiration date for its offers to exchange Qorvo’s 4.375% notes due 2029 and 3.375% notes due 2031 to new Skyworks notes, pushing the deadline to September 11, 2026 as merger plans with Qorvo continue. Tender participation remains high, signaling strong bondholder support, while completion of the mergers still depends on applicable closing conditions and timelines announced by Skyworks and its partners.

Chris Dalton Pushing the deadline to next September feels like a long runway just for closing conditions. Wonder what's really holding things up.

Crypto firms urge SEC to avoid blanket ETF rules, Better Markets pushes back — 1dCrypto firms Grayscale, a16z, and the Crypto Council for Innovation urge the SEC to avoid blanket changes that would treat funds holding non-securities as investment companies, urging a product-by-product assessment and support for streamlined review processes; they also back confidential pre-filing and oppose expanding the Investment Company Act to cover novel ETFs. Meanwhile, Better Markets argues that certain event-contract or sports/election-focused ETFs amount to gambling and should not be allowed under the ETF wrapper, urging the SEC to preserve investor protection and avoid misalignment with ETF purposes.

Jared Kim Confidential pre-filing sounds nice for companies but investors deserve transparency too, not just faster approvals behind closed doors.

Gold falls to three-week low as Mideast tensions fuel rate-hike bets — 1dGold prices hovered near multi-week lows as US-Iran tensions push oil higher and fuel inflation fears, with spot gold around $4,320 and US futures also lower. Investors priced in a sizable chance of a Federal Reserve rate hike this month, as higher crude prices and rising yields tempered gold’s appeal as an inflation hedge.

Priya Raman Rate hike bets on top of Mideast tensions seems like a weird combo to be betting on honestly. Would've thought safe haven demand wins out here.

Gavin Williams strikes out 13 as Guardians beat Blue Jays 6-1 — 20hGavin Williams tied a career high with 13 strikeouts and allowed only two singles over seven innings as the Guardians beat the Blue Jays 6-1, with homers from Bailey, Genao and Martinez fueling the win and bolstering Cleveland's wild-card push. The dominant outing added to a season-long stretch of double-digit strikeout performances, keeping Williams among the league leaders in strikeouts.

Nicole Hardy Three homers plus that kind of pitching is a scary combo for the Guardians going forward. Blue Jays had no answer for Williams tonight.

Bombardier to acquire MHI Canada Aerospace plant amid push for higher jet output — 1dBombardier is set to acquire Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Canada Aerospace assets in Mississauga, bringing about 750 employees and a 270,000-square-foot facility into Bombardier’s in-house aerostructures operations, with closing expected later this year subject to regulatory approvals. The deal strengthens Bombardier’s manufacturing resilience and flexibility and includes transitional support from MHI to ensure continuity of aircraft programs as production scales with growing demand.

Maya Lindstrom Bringing manufacturing in-house makes sense if they're serious about hitting those production targets.

Dodgers call up infielder Alex Freeland as offense continues to slump — 2dThe Dodgers promoted infielder Alex Freeland as September rosters expand, adding depth and versatility to the infield for a late-season push. The move could also enable more outfield usage for Tommy Edman amid the club’s offensive slump as LA contends for the NL West and a postseason run.

Brazil Senate approves data center tax breaks worth billions, sends bill to Lula — 1dBrazil’s Senate approved the Redata special tax regime to suspend federal taxes on data-center equipment, with a projected 5.2 billion reais tax impact in 2026, and sent the bill to President Lula for signature; the regime also imposes conditions such as renewable or low-emission energy use and minimum domestic market reservations. The same session also advanced a separate 30 billion reais driver credit program, highlighting Brazil’s broader push to attract data-center investment and digital infrastructure development.

Elena Vasquez billion in foregone taxes is a big bet on data centers paying off long term - hope the renewable energy requirement actually gets enforced.

ChargePoint taps 25-year mobility veteran to lead Europe growth — 1dChargePoint appointed John Saffrett as executive vice president and managing director for Europe to lead growth across European markets, reporting to CEO Rick Wilmer, and leveraging his 25-plus years in mobility including recent leadership at Ayvens and earlier senior roles at ALD Automotive. The move underscores ChargePoint’s push to expand its European footprint with fleet and digital-transformation expertise.

Sam Okafor Fleet leasing background makes sense given how much of the EV charging market is corporate fleets, not just individual drivers.

Parliament is divided: the government seeks a multiyear special budget with defense ministry oversight, while opposition parties push for annual budgets and alternative oversight, potentially delaying approval of the plan.

Dollar climbs to multi-week high as Iran tensions push oil higher — 1dThe U.S. dollar strengthened to multi-week highs as renewed U.S.-Iran hostilities lift oil prices and inflation concerns, with the dollar index hovering in the high 99s as markets price in potential Fed rate hikes amid rising yields. This dollar strength is shaping global markets by widening rate differentials, pressuring commodity currencies and economies like India’s rupee, while oil and energy-related tensions keep investors on edge.

Derek Foss Oil spikes, dollar strengthens, everyone else's currency eats the difference. Same pattern every time tensions flare up in the Middle East.

Scientists inject 6,000 elms to breed disease-tolerant stock — 2dU.S. researchers are using Dutch elm disease to breed and restore American elm trees, injecting thousands of young elms to test disease resistance and then propagating survivors for seed orchards and future reforestation. This effort is part of a broader push to protect forests from pests and pathogens that threaten biodiversity and hydrology, including challenges to other species like ash trees.

Tom Gallagher Grew up watching massive elms line every street in my town before disease wiped them out, would love to see that canopy come back someday.

Players warn US Open's three-week format leaves little time to recover — 2dThe U.S. Open has stretched to three weeks, drawing mixed reactions as players warn that the longer schedule leaves little downtime and increases burnout risk, even as officials push for greater growth.

Yorkville launches FRUT AI ETF after dropping crypto ETF plans — 2dYorkville America launched the MANGOS Plus Index ETF (FRUT) focused on AI infrastructure after withdrawing Truth Social’s crypto ETF registrations, signaling a shift from digital assets to AI exposure. The firm also plans a broader growth push, including an acquisition and expanding beyond Truth Social-branded products with FRUT as its first non-Truth Social ETF.

Elena Vasquez Kind of telling that FRUT is their first non-Truth Social product, seems like they're trying to distance from that brand a bit while still cashing in on it.

The deal, touted as Boxabl’s largest announced residential order to date, highlights the company’s push into larger communities while analysts note ongoing profitability challenges and a high valuation.

Tom Gallagher Finally some real numbers instead of just prototype photos and Elon rumors, hope the permitting doesn't drag this out for years.
