I helped write some profiles for American Banker's Most Powerful Women in Banking list, including Santander US's CEO, who likes to vibe code: www.americanbanker.com/news/2026-th...

The Most Powerful Women in Banking Women to Watch, #1, Christiana Riley, Santander U.S.
Riley is in the midst of closing the $12.3 billion acquisition of Webster, the first time in years that a European bank has sought to acquire a U.S. bank.

I don't use AI transcription (mainly bc I don't want to pay for it), but in my boomer opinion I do think automating that would make me a worse journalist. How else would I excruciatingly learn I didn't ask the right follow up question to someone I'll never get to interview again

I can’t stop thinking about this page of allegations from Blake Lively’s lawsuit. If this could happen to an A-list actress on a set for a movie that made $350 million, it could happen to anyone on any kind of set.
night, which he said was important to him because he and his partner climax simultaneously during
intercourse. Mr. Baldoni then intrusively asked Ms. Lively whether she and her husband climax
simultaneously during intercourse, which Ms. Lively found invasive and refused to discuss.
35. On the day of shooting the scene in which Ms. Lively's character gives birth, Mr.
Baldoni and Mr. Heath suddenly pressured Ms. Lively to simulate full nudity, despite no mention of nudity
for this scene in the script, her contract, or in previous creative discussions. Mr. Baldoni insisted to Ms.
Lively that women give birth naked, and that his wife had "ripped her clothes off during labor. He claimed it was "not normal" for women to remain in their hospital gowns while giving birth. Ms. Lively
disagreed, but felt forced into a compromise that she would be naked from below the chest down.®
36. When the birth scene was filmed, the set was chaotic, crowded and utterly lacking
in standard industry protections for filming nude scenes-such as choregraphing the scene with an
intimacy coordinator, having a signed nudity rider, or simply turning off the monitors so the scene was not broadcast to all crew on set (and on their personal phones and iPad). Mr. Heath and Mr. Baldoni also
failed to close the set, allowing non-essential crew to pass through while Ms. Lively was mostly nude with
her legs spread wide in stirrups and only a small piece of fabric covering her genitalia. Among the non-
essential persons present that day was Wayfarer co-Chairman Mr. Sarowitz, who flew in for one of his
few set visits. Ms. Lively was not provided with anything to cover herself with between takes until after
she had made multiple requests. Ms. Lively became even more alarmed when Mr. Baldoni introduced his
"best friend" to play the role of the OBGYN, when ordinarily, a small role of this nature would be filled
by a local actor. Ms. Lively felt that the selection of Mr. Baldoni's friend for this intimate role,…
