Between Air Force Academy swim meets, a fiftieth-birthday celebration, Harvard Parent Weekend for two kids, a Distorted publishing deadline, and a world-class case of COVID — Jim’s finally back behind the mic.
This week, it’s a full-service check-up on ten headlines that forgot to match their own paragraphs:
the $14-billion “disaster” that wasn’t,
the Fed’s optimistic rate-cut asterisk,
Amazon’s AI “layoffs,”
consumer confidence’s one-point panic,
the inflation report on vacation,
HR’s new “no hire, more fire,”
New York’s poetic mayoral victory,
the CIA’s Venezuelan side hustle,
a Kardashian “crisis” in a group chat,
and Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb trying to get NASA to return his calls.
Dry humor. Real receipts.
Ten stories, one cough drop, and a reminder that truth usually lives in paragraph seven.
