U.S. Vice President JD Vance speaks to members of the media before boarding Air Force Two, after the U.S. and Iran held high-level talks at the Lake Lucerne Summit, at Emmen Military Air Base June 22, 2026 in Emmen, Switzerland. Nathan Howard | Getty Images Economic pressure is the United States’ “most effective tool” against Iran, according to U.S. Vice President JD Vance. Speaking on a podcast, Vance said that the move was “a delicate dance” as both sides apply pressure to each other, but added that “what has been true over the last couple of weeks is they felt a lot more pressure than we have.” His comments come after U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. will launch what he called the “most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country” against Iran. Trump also threatened severe financial penalties on any nation that helps Tehran evade sanctions, and added that “this will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale.” Vance, in his remarks, said pump prices for Americans are still elevated, …

If you’ve followed explore.org’s livestream of the bears at Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska this summer, you’ve probably noticed a big bear nicknamed Bucky Dent who is great at catching fish. Officially designated as Bear 164, this roughly seven-year-old adult male is so good at catching fish, he invented a new way to find them as a young subadult bear. Today, the cameras spotted Bucky Dent catching a salmon that looked pretty determined to swim away.  Cameras also spotted him doing a “tango,” or weaving in and out of the water with Bear 909, while searching for fish. Bucky and 909 are often spotted searching for salmon together, and don’t seem to mind close fishing quarters. Meet Bear 164 Bucky Bucky …

Meet the startup helping Wall Street put a price on AI compute

Meet the startup helping Wall Street put a price on AI compute

Published by skeptic

The AI buildout shows no signs of slowing. And with hundreds of billions of dollars a year going into data centers and GPUs, compute has become the single biggest cost for anyone building AI products. But for all that spending, there still isn’t a straightforward way to put a price on compute — or for firms to hedge their exposure when the price changes.  Silicon Data just closed a $30 million Series A to change that. The startup aims to become the reference price for GPU rental and an index that a Wall Street futures contract would settle against. The company plans to launch its compute futures trading on the CME October 5th, pending regulatory approval.  On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan is joined by Steve Hou, head of research at Silicon Data, to discuss the health of the AI buildout, and why the data is telling a different story than the doom and gloom headlines about depreciating chips and stalled data centers.  Subscribe to Equity on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.

Published by Daniella Wilson

Christian Slater is a proud father of four, having welcomed his kids Jaden and Eliana with his ex-wife, Ryan Haddon, and his kids Lena and Sully with his wife, Brittany Lopez. The True Romance star opened up about how his approach to fatherhood changed over the years, particularly after Lena and Sully arrived in 2019 and 2024, respectively. “The whole thing is different. I’m certainly a lot more present, and I just love it,” he told People. “I think I was more scared of [fatherhood] the first go around and a little bit more confused, and I was very distracted.” © AFP via Getty ImagesChristian has two daughters and two sons “And now, it’s all I really think about, and all I really care about, and all I want to be around. I’m happy to be in that situation,” he added. For the 57-year-old, family is everything.

Who is Natalie Harp? Meet Donald Trump’s devoted 35-year-old aide who ‘will never leave’ him

Published by Daniella Wilson

Donald Trump has surrounded himself with a fiercely loyal inner circle throughout his second term in the White House, but few aides appear to have become quite as indispensable as Natalie Harp. The 35-year-old executive assistant has been photographed at the President’s side everywhere from the Oval Office to the golf course, while her extraordinary devotion to her boss has now become a major talking point in Washington. Natalie has reportedly been described as Trump’s “human printer” because of her habit of carrying a portable printer to provide him with articles, social media posts and other material throughout the day. She also helps manage his Truth Social presence and has become one of the small group of aides with almost constant access to him. © Getty ImagesNatalie Harp, executive assistant to U.S. President Donald Trump Her relationship with the 80-year-old President has come under renewed scrutiny following revelations in Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, which details the extraordinary extent of Natalie’s loyalty.

Meet Polyester: Gen Zs new way to call you fake

Meet Polyester: Gen Zs new way to call you fake

Published by skeptic

Nobody online wants to be polyester right now. That is not a compliment. According to the Gen-Z lexicon, something “polyester” is a way of saying it feels cheap, mass-produced, low-effort, or inauthentic. It might look polished at first glance, but underneath the sheen, something about it feels artificial. A generic influencer brand can be polyester. An overly polished video can be polyester. So can your relationship. The insult draws on the fabric’s increasingly poor online reputation. Polyester is a synthetic fiber made from plastic, and younger shoppers have spent years complaining about finding it in expensive clothing, purging it from their closets, and searching for cotton, wool, and other natural materials instead. Polyester is not necessarily low-quality — different versions of the material have legitimate uses, including in performance clothing — but online fashion discourse often treats the word as shorthand for the cheap, shiny fabric associated with fast fashion. That made it particularly effective as an insult for anything that looks manufactured or disposable. Where did the polyester meme come from? Before people had polyester …
