After an intense dispute threatened the ceasefire during the week, Israel and Hamas made their sixth exchange over the weekend — with two more weeks remaining in the ceasefire.
Iconic comedy show Saturday Night Live celebrated its 50th anniversary over the weekend, and it celebrated with a star- and alumni-studded weekend: A special concert featuring past musical guests, the first-ever episode of SNL, and a three-hour anniversary special.

A California construction company announced its plans to 3D-print ‘inflammable homes’ for LA wildfire victims
Emergent Construction CEO Don Ajamian is all too familiar with wildfires: the Carr Fire struck his community in Redding, California and while he didn’t lose his home — many of his neighbors did.
He founded Emergent to act as a “second responder” after a disaster strikes. It 3D prints homes out of concrete, providing construction that’s not only faster and sturdier — it uses no flammable materials.
Emergent has “built” seven homes so far, six of them in Redding. Now, it’s hoping to help LA wildfire victims by providing “attractive, dignified, long-term solutions for local housing.” And it’s not just for those who can afford it — Emergent wants to help families of all socio-economic backgrounds “have a place to call home.”
Why is this good news? The clean-up and rebuilding process following the immense damage caused by the Eaton, Palisades and other fires in the Los Angeles area will take time — solutions like these are a quicker fix. Unlike other “quick fixes,” though, this one also offers safe, secure, dignified shelter for people who lost everything.

A decade ago, it took the world a year to add a gigawatt of solar power capacity — now it only takes a day
In 2004, it took about a year for the world to add one gigawatt of solar power capacity. Less than a decade later, in 2023, the same amount was added every single day on average.
One gigawatt of solar is enough to power around 200,000 homes in the U.S. — meaning the world’s capacity for powering homes with renewable energy is expanding rapidly.
Much of this growth is happening in China, which in 2023 accounted for about 43% of installed solar energy capacity globally.
I spent some time over the weekend re-watching iconic Saturday Night Live skits — I definitely have a soft spot for the Amy Poehler and Tina Fey era. And I’ll admit: I laugh the hardest when they break character.
Did you watch any of the anniversary special? Or have a favorite cast member or skit?
