Thousands Protest Trump’s Kennedy Center Overhaul — 22hActivist group Hands Off the Arts is organizing a Friday protest and a human chain around the Kennedy Center to oppose President Donald Trump’s bid to renovate, and potentially demolish, the landmark and to block his push to have his name added to the building, as legal rulings require 30 days’ notice for major changes. The demonstrations, supported by Kerry Kennedy and other figures, come amid concerns about safety and the Center’s temporary closure after a ceiling collapse, with ongoing debates over governance of the center during renovations.

Maya Lindstrom Safety worries after the ceiling collapse are real, but that doesn't justify rushing in Trump's name without proper review.

Nscale Files for U.S. IPO with Reports of $35B Valuation Target — 16hNscale, the Nvidia-backed AI data-center company spun out of Arkon Energy, has officially filed for a US IPO on the NYSE with a targeted valuation reportedly up to $35 billion while remaining British-domiciled. The offering comes as the firm posts material losses against growing revenue, backed by major investors and banks including Goldman Sachs, J.P.

Priya Raman A 35B valuation looks steep with those losses, but Nvidia backing could still pull in plenty of buyers.

Aura Minerals Secures $200 Million Loan for Growth — 1dAura Minerals secured a US$200 million syndicated loan at the holding-company level to fund supplier payments and prepayments for production as it advances Era Dorada in Guatemala and expands output at its Almas and Borborema operations, targeting more than 600,000 gold-equivalent ounces per year in coming years. The five-year facility carries SOFR plus 2.70% with a two-year grace period, and management says the financing diversifies funding sources and reinforces a balanced, disciplined growth strategy.

Chris Dalton The grace period helps, but hitting over 600k ounces will depend on steady execution in Guatemala and Brazil.

Orioles place Jackson Holliday on injured list for second time this season — 2dJackson Holliday was placed on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation and will be eligible to return around Sept. 25, forcing Baltimore to lean on Jeremiah Jackson at second base with Jose Barrero being recalled to bolster infield depth. The move comes as the Orioles near the end of the season with upcoming series against the Yankees and Brewers, while Holliday’s absence has already shifted lineup planning and depth options.

Nicole Hardy Bringing Barrero back helps the infield depth but this timing with the Yankees series makes it tougher overall.

The move signals a youth-forward rebuild for the program and comes amid talk of a strained Pulisic-Pochettino relationship after Pulisic’s 2025 Gold Cup absence and limited club playing time.

Elena Vasquez Sullivan getting a look at 16 is bold but the lack of experience on this roster could hurt in those friendlies.

Von der Leyen to Address AI Wildfires Ukraine and Trade in EU Speech — 4d"Von der Leyen will deliver the EU’s annual State of the European Union address in Strasbourg to outline priorities for the coming year, likely covering AI, climate change, wildfires, online safety for children, Russia’s war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and trade, with the contents kept under wraps." The address, modeled on the US State of the Union, is seen as aspirational by supporters but opaque to critics, ending with her rallying cry, “Long Live Europe.”

Elena Vasquez I hope her speech pushes concrete steps on AI safety and Ukraine aid instead of vague promises.
