President Trump on his conversation with Putin: We had a great conversation. He is wanting to make a deal and if Zelenskyy is wanting to make a deal that'd be very nice. Comment from me: *sighs heavily.* Nothing indicates that Putin is ready to make any kind of sensible deal.

Bitcoin has been plummeting in value, and interest in it is declining. This is especially dangerous because “it’s a speculative asset, which is valuable solely because people think it’s valuable,” James Surowiecki writes:

I bought a Core One 3D printer kit from @prusa3d.com. First of all great to see such a product being made in Europe. My experience was generally good with the kit, but I would say that unless you are comfortable putting together a PC you should go for the pre-assembled version.

I am annoyed by the headlines regarding the Supreme Court decisions around the deportations around the Alien Enemies Act. The headlines all depict it as a big win for Trump, but it was definetly a more mixed message where the Supreme Court clearly stated that due process was needed from now on.
