The Superhero Complex - Introducing OUTLAWS: The Good Thief

Vassilis Palaikostas, aka “Greece’s Robin Hood” has been on the lam for 14 years. In his absence, legends of his generosity have grown. But no one knows where he is, or if the stories are even true. 

Here’s what we do know: there’s a million Euro bounty out for Vassilis, and a 24-hour task force trying to track him down. When he robs banks, he shares the money with the poor. When he kidnaps industrialists-- and he only kidnaps those who are known for unfair labor practices-- they give baffling interviews showing how he opened their minds. And when he escapes heavily reinforced prisons, as he’s done ... by helicopter ... twice, he does it without harming a guard. 

Join host Miles Gray and our team of Greek reporters as we follow Vassilis’ trail from Athens to tiny islands to remote mountain hideouts. Along the way, we’ll meet Vassilis’s inner circle, chat with police chiefs and prime ministers, and work to understand how this thief managed to steal the country’s heart.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Small-Vox symptoms: Spain’s elections

After no party won a majority, forming a government may take weeks—or another election. But predictions that Vox, a far-right party, might enter government failed to materialise. Russia’s navy is repainting its vessels in a bid to frustrate munitions powered by artificial intelligence (10:03). And why the push to invent outlandish ice-cream flavours such as ketchup is deeply misguided (17:59).

Is it just us, or does every celebrity have their own tequila brand — But when you drink a celebrity liquor, you’re drinking hip hop history. Amex Platinum *was* the only credit card with its own lounge, until now — Chase launched one, because vanity is the most seductive sin. And Amazon just bought an old NASA facility in Florida to build the other AWS — Amazon Web Satellites, because Amazon thinks 20 years ahead. $JPM $AMZN $AMP Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?
