The Best One Yet - 📚 “Pimp My Dorm” — University spending splurge. Target’s Starbucks bet. Brightline’s Olympics train.

The WSJ examined 20 years of collegiate (over)spending — but the buck stops with the boards. Target added Starbucks to curbside pickup at 1,700 locations — turning a weekly shopping habit into a daily coffee habit. And Brightline, the first private Amtrak competitor, is breaking ground on rails from LA to Vegas — and it didn’t set a deadline, it set a finish line.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Project Orion

In the years immediately following the end of the Second World War, several of the scientists who took part in the Manhattan Project had an explosive idea. 

They wondered if we could harness the incredible power of atomic bombs and put them to use for peaceful purposes. 

In particular, what if we could use atomic bombs to literally blast ships into space? 

This idea went far further than you probably think it did.

Learn more about Project Orion and the quite serious idea of blasting ships into space on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What A Day - Staying Lahaina Strong

More than 90 people have been killed in Maui since wildfires erupted last week, making it the deadliest wildfire in the U.S. in over a century. The Hawai’i Tourism Authority is urging travelers to not visit the island at this time as organizers work to provide shelter to thousands of displaced residents.

Former president Donald Trump could face his fourth criminal indictment as soon as this week. Fulton County Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis appears close to charging Trump with more crimes regarding 2020 election interference in the state.

And in headlines: the governor of Illinois signed a law allowing people to sue gunmakers over ads that target children, police raided a local newspaper in Kansas, and the Biden administration announced a $1.3 billion investment to suck carbon dioxide out of the air.
