Deepfakes are getting more realistic, and more difficult to stop. Congress needs to take steps now.

Tankers U-turn, zig-zag, pause around Strait of Hormuz reut.rs/44jkH07
Tankers U-turn, zig-zag, pause around Strait of Hormuz
At least two supertankers made U-turns at the Strait of Hormuz following U.S. military strikes on Iran, shiptracking data shows, as more than a week of violence in the region prompts vessels to speed, pause, or alter their journeys.
Washington's decision to join Israel's attacks on Iran has stoked fears that Iran could retaliate by closing the strait between Iran and Oman through which around 20% of global oil and gas demand flows.

Only a few decades ago, content implied verbals and non-verbals. What was not as accessed were the subconscious, covert, tacit and contextual.
The premium will possibly shift from the handheld to the heartfelt.
And these transitions may be really awkward. For kings, princes, paupers and us!

UPS said it expects to cut 20,000 jobs this year and close 73 buildings in the next two months, as the company reduces its business with Amazon and faces wider economic uncertainty.
UPS set to lay off 20,000 workers as it reduces business with Amazon
The shipping giant said the moves were expected to save $3.5 billion and were made in anticipation of “lower volumes from our largest customer,” which is Amazon.

It's when perspective is dried out like fleshy fruit in the sun, that the grief is in the inattention and contempt for feelings. Grief is a contact emotion. Like the leaf that drops to the ground from its tree. Only moments in the air that caresses the leaf's decay. Nature cares for its elements.
Grief is not a purely negative emotion. Over time, sadness is joined by love and gratitude.
The purpose of grief is not to cause pain. It's to keep memories of loved ones alive and remind us to make the most of our time.
Moving forward is not about erasing sorrow. It's about gaining perspective.

Conscience has a wake up call.
“Hamilton” is canceling plans to perform next year at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, citing President Trump’s moves to impose his values on the venue. “We’re not going to be a part of it while it is the Trump Kennedy Center,” said its creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

If leaders are serious about ending war, women need a seat at the table.
Global data, 1989-2011: When women are involved in agreements, peace is 35% more likely to last 15+ years.
Men alone shouldn’t decide the fate of nations. Gender balance is especially vital with high stakes and hot tempers.
