I want to kick off today’s newsletter by saying a massive THANK YOU to all 1,200+ of you! Yup, you read that right. We’ve hit 1,200+ newsletter subscribers. I started this newsletter as a way to share news in a more engaging way, alongside opportunities, and handy tools with the world. It’s been a 2-year rollercoaster, and I feel blessed to have you all riding with me all through! I couldn’t have done it without you. Shout out to everyone who has been in feedback, words of encouragement and banter, I don’t take any of it for granted! Here’s to many more years - to infinity and beyond! 🥂

Okay, I’m done being mushy lmaoo - news time, let’s goooo!

On the 26th of March, 2025, 74-year-old Jerome Dewald, appeared in court for an employment dispute hearing. Now, the thing is, the court had signed off on him being able to submit a video for his case to present his oral argument. Not even up to a minute into the video, Justice Sallie Manzanet-Daniels jumped in “Hold on……is that counsel for the case?”. The person on the video wasn’t Jerome.

“I generated that,” Dewald responded. “It’s not a real person.”. This dude straight up tried to use an AI avatar in his case, and of course, the judge was not having any of it lol.

”It would have been nice to know that when you made your application. You did not tell me that, sir, I don’t appreciate being misled………You are not going to use this courtroom as a launch for your business.”

For added context, Jerome is behind an AI startup called Tavus

Here’s the court footage if you’d like to watch it:

Pelage Pharmaceuticals, a company founded by a team of UCLA scientists, claims to have discovered a cure for baldness, a topical molecule they call PP405 (hehe 🥲).

They’ve just received the results from their first round of human testing, and the results look promising! They found a nearly 70% activity increase in dormant hair follicles and a massive increase in stem cell activity, all from only 1 week of use. It truly is a major breakthrough, as they have found no major side effects from their tests.

Last year, they raised an additional $14 million in a round led by Google Ventures. They expect to hopefully get FDA approval by 2030, after which they can fully go to market, which is great news for my comrades whose hairlines are doing things we’d rather not have them do 👀

Starting this year, mothers in Hungary will be able to earn income tax-free up until the age of 30. Mothers with three children will pay no tax for life, starting from October 2025, and mothers with two kids will also enjoy the same privilegestarting in January 2026.

Pretty cool, right?
