“A 20-year-old man was arrested early Friday after allegedly throwing an incendiary device at a North Beach home belonging to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Open AI spokesperson Jamie Radice confirmed to SFGATE that Friday morning, Sam Altman’s North Beach home had been attacked with a ‘Molotov cocktail’ and threats had been made against the company’s San Francisco headquarters. … San Francisco police responded at 4:12 a.m. on April 10 to a North Beach residence for a reported fire investigation, SFPD spokesperson Allison Maxie told SFGATE in a statement. ‘At the scene, officers learned that an unknown male subject threw an incendiary destructive device at a home, causing a fire to an exterior gate,’ Maxie said. ‘The suspect then fled on foot.'” (04/11/26)

“Americans are falling in love with Project Hail Mary, a movie about an astronaut who finds himself alone at the end of the universe, with perhaps no hope of ever returning among mankind. He then has to figure out how to save mankind in very difficult circumstances, by his wits and his technical know-how. A man a lot like the navigator-turned-shipwreck Robinson Crusoe, so much so that it’s worth comparing them, their stories, and why they matter to modern society.” (04/10/26)

“On Thursday, in the exact White House room where President Trump recently addressed the nation about the Iran war, First Lady Melania Trump strode up to the lectern to address a different sort of crisis. Her topic and demeanor were grave; her scripted words meant to convey solemnity. The delivery, however, conveyed a jarring disconnect. This is not to litigate the complex web of associations and legal questions swirling around the Jeffrey Epstein case. Those demand their own continuous investigation. But the timing of the First Lady’s rare national address was weird, the formal setting incongruous, and the call for Congress to act befuddling. We will certainly find out more in the coming days, but this piece is not about the Epstein case. This is about what we heard in that room.” (04/11/26)

“Less than 24 hours after the U.S.-Israeli coalition bombed oil depots around Tehran on March 7, blanketing the city of 10 million with smoke that blotted out the sun, Brenda — 6,300 miles away in South Baltimore — found out she had lost her food stamps. She had checked the status of her SNAP benefits after I had first interviewed her a few days prior about the United States spending billions on war with Iran while Americans like her struggle to eat. When she logged in to the online portal, she discovered her food stamps had been terminated. She’s tried to stay positive in the weeks since. … But it stings that she can’t afford to give her 13-year-old daughter healthy options, like fresh fruits and vegetables.” (04/10/26)

“A U.S. appeals court on Friday declared unconstitutional a nearly 158-year-old federal ban on home distilling, calling it an unnecessary and improper means for Congress to exercise its power to tax. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled in favor of the nonprofit Hobby Distillers Association and four of its 1,300 members. They argued that people should be free to distill spirits at home, whether as a hobby or for personal consumption including, in one instance, to create an apple-pie-vodka recipe. The ban was part of a law passed during Reconstruction in July 1868, in part to thwart liquor tax evasion, and subjected violators to up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.” (04/10/26)

“He’s out of ideas, a mind running on empty. Increasingly, he is also short of reason, zapped by geopolitical addling and meddling. Now that US President Donald J. Trump has reached an uneasy understanding with Teheran that a two-week ceasefire should apply to the warring parties (Israel, as usual, has its own elastic interpretation as it continues attacking Lebanon), it is worth considering the warring language he has been using since February 28. Of note is the shrill wording of various ultimata he has directed at Iran.” (04/10/26)
