Pickup Problem

Tesla recalled over 46,000 Cybertrucks after discovering an exterior trim panel that can detach mid-ride. With demand for its much-hyped (and, let's face it, polarizing) electric pickup already waning, Tesla didn't need another PR disaster.

​

​NHTSA filing highlighted that failing panels could become dangerous debris. Tesla's stock is also low as backlash against Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration continues to mount. This may delay Cybertruck's hype cycle or slow it down, but Tesla has already faced many speed bumps this year.

In Context: Musk donates to G.O.P. Members who support impeaching judges.

Ultimate Decision

​Daniel Kahneman left his family on March 26 and flew to Switzerland. His email explained why:

Nobel laureate and author of "Thinking, Fast, and Slow" died last year via assisted suicide, a shock to many who admired his research on human decision-making. Even though he's physically and mentally capable, Kahneman has personal beliefs about avoiding decline.

Many of his closest friends and family are left unsettled, but others see it as another bold experiment in autonomy. Kahneman's last act reminds us that even the best minds in decisions can't escape the most personal judgment.

Under the Lip

These pouches were invented in Sweden to lure women away from old-school brown snus, then became a hit with American guys—thanks to influencer hype and a year-round shortage fueled the craze. The hush-hush nic buzz sneaks seamlessly into work calls and weekend benders like a secret handshake.

​

While some worry about long-term health risks, supporters say it's a brilliant harm-reduction tool—an alternative for cigarette quitters and “productivity hackers” alike. Zyn's popularity shows Americans still crave the timeless nicotine high, only now it comes in tiny white pouches instead of smoldering ash.
