WSJ:
The canceled contracts are part of the $38 billion arid-mountain resort known as Trojena, which its managers once said would be the first outdoor ski resort in the Persian Gulf
...
Italy-based Webuild said Wednesday that Neom canceled its contract to build a $5 billion dam, which was meant to make a mountainside lake and was in the midst of construction. Malaysia-based Eversendai Corporation said Tuesday that Neom had ended its contract to supply the site with steel
At least four Freemasons from the lodge’s roughly 20 members are among those in the dock. Other defendants include four officers from France’s DGSE foreign intelligence service, three police officers
...
The case was triggered by a failed contract killing in July 2020, when two members of France’s parachute regiment were arrested in possession of weapons near the home of the business coach Marie-Hélène Dini. They told investigators they believed they had been asked to murder Dini on behalf of the French state, targeting Dini on the grounds that she worked for the Israeli spy agency the Mossad.
They are accused of the murder of a racing driver, the attempted murders of a business coach and a trade unionist, aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy – all on behalf of a mafia network inside the former Athanor Masonic Lodge in the Paris suburb of Puteaux
we are now inundated with completely unproduced livestream clips ... Most of these clips are being made in the global south, where the small payouts from the platforms are enough to fund a content farm. For instance, the account that famously clipped Clavicular being framemogged by an “ASU frat leader” is called @biggerboy111 and it’s based in Nigeria. Which is why, I assume, that user didn’t know that frats don’t have a “leader” position, it’s called a president, and also didn’t know/care that ... the guy mogging Clavicular in the video, isn’t in a frat at ASU.

First two paragraphs of a new profile by Politico:
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — This is how Rahm Emanuel eats a salad: He rips open its clear, clamshell container with two hands. He grabs the ramekin of the dressing. He pours it across the salad. Then he picks up the salad container, shaking it with an intensity and ferocity that forces the balsamic throughout, giving no quarter to the greens and the grilled chicken.
This is material information, mind you, for his would-be 2028 Democratic presidential primary rivals. Because how Rahm eats a salad is how he does anything and everything: with intent and with verve and without mercy.

NYT:
One of the most common questions among college sports fans is also one of the hardest to answer.
How much are players getting paid?
The answer is unverifiable because programs treat revenue-sharing documents as literal state secrets.
...
Public schools that receive public money generally make their budgets public. Online databases can show you the salary of a janitor at UMass ($44,000) or a surgery professor at Florida ($1.35 million). A records request can get you the recruiting budget for North Carolina football ($2.6 million), food expenses for Houston men’s basketball ($504,000) or Lane Kiffin’s contract at LSU.
But player compensation has been a black box.
The University of Kansas said "times have changed" and the university will now help financially support KU Athletics, according to a statement Tuesday from the chancellor's office.
...
After years of KU Athletics transferring roughly $15 million annually to the university's general fund, KU said it will now help fund student-athlete tuition, housing and scholarships.
Getting attention now because:
University of Kansas Chancellor ... and Provost ... addressed Kansas Athletics funding, employee salaries and campus facilities in a statement released Tuesday.
...
Results showed that a majority of the 2,012 respondents, about 80%, expressed “no confidence”

(I did play it for a while--was interesting to see how far I could get in challenges playing for free, and also seeing how many tries it would take to complete a level (unbeatable levels would suddenly crumble). Would like to see someone try to create data about that.)I have no interest in this man’s problems

@wallstreetjournal Telluride, Colo., has descended into what some have called the “ski-gate scandal”: an alleged attempted coup to force resort owner Chuck Horning to sell to investors. The upheaval has involved resignations, a work stoppage and a protest, leaving America’s “most luxurious ski town” in crisis.

The WSJ takes a detailed look at the efforts by seemingly everyone living in Telluride, Colorado to oust the owner of the Telluride Ski & Golf resort:
He even fired his own son, Chad, who Horning said led several attempted management coups against him. Chad Horning declined to comment, saying, “This is a highly personal family matter.”
