Article excerpt: When ProPublica emailed questions to Newby’s daughter, the North Carolina Republican Party’s communications director, Matt Mercer, responded, writing that ProPublica was waging a “jihad” against “NC Republicans,” which would “not be met with dignifying any comments whatsoever.” “I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and I’m sure they would be interested in this matter,” Mercer said in his email. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

Text from article: The traditional ways to undo such a decision would have been for the legislature to pass a new law that made gerrymandering legal or for Republicans to file a lawsuit. But that would’ve taken months or years. Newby cleared a way to get there sooner, well before the crucial 2024 election. In January — once two newly elected Republican justices were sworn in, giving the party a 5-2 majority — GOP lawmakers quickly filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to rehear the gerrymandering case. Such do-overs are rare. Since 1993, the court had granted only two out of 214 petitions for rehearings, both to redress narrow errors, not differences in interpreting North Carolina’s constitution. The lawyers who’d won the gerrymandering case were incredulous. “We were like, they can’t possibly do this,” said Jeff Loperfido, the chief counsel for voting rights at the Southern Coalition for Social Justice. “Can they revisit their opinions when the ink is barely dry?”

The statue of Millicent Fawcett in Parliament Square, Westminster, London, honours the British suffragist leader and social campaigner Dame Millicent Fawcett. It was made in 2018 by Gillian Wearing. She holds a banner with the words Courage Calls To Courage Everywhere. The bronze statue portrays Dame Millicent at the age of 50, when she became president of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. She wears a walking suit, typical attire of that period featuring an overcoat and a long dress. The artist integrated the pattern and texture of the tweed fabric into the bronze of the suit. description source wikipedia

A chart illustrating the interconnected investment and partnership ecosystem within the AI industry. The central and largest players are Microsoft (Market Cap: $3.9T) and Oracle, who are making massive infrastructure investments. Key deals include OpenAI planning to deploy AMD GPUs, with AMD offering OpenAI a share purchase option, and OpenAI inking a $300 billion cloud deal with Oracle. Oracle, in turn, is spending tens of billions on Nvidia chips. The ecosystem includes major hardware providers like AMD, Intel, and Nvidia, and cloud/computing platforms like CoreWeave and Nebius. It also features prominent AI software and service companies such as OpenAI, Mistral, Figure AI, Harvey AI, Ambience Healthcare, and Anysphere. The visual uses circle sizes to represent the market value of these entities, showing a complex web of dependencies where venture capital, hardware, software, and cloud services are all deeply intertwined.
