CNN —A plane carrying Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry landed in Puerto Rico on Tuesday, its governor’s spokesperson told CNN, after days of speculation about his whereabouts as Haitian capital Port-au-Prince plunged into crisis over the weekend.

Haiti’s government declared a state of emergency on Sunday amid the spiraling violence in Port-au-Prince. “We fear we will run out of medicines and medical supplies, which are absolutely essential to meet the enormous needs we are facing at the moment,” Haiti MSF head Mumuza Muhindo Musubah said in a statement.

It’s obvious enough that the legislation would affect those social media giants, who are challenging the laws’ constitutionality through industry trade associations. But in scrutinizing the laws’ scope and First Amendment impacts, justices from both sides of the ideological spectrum worried Monday that the legislation’s effects could spill far beyond major social media platforms. “We’re talking about the classic social media platforms, but it looks to me like it could cover Uber.

More than a dozen Republican attorneys general have argued to the court that social media should be treated like traditional utilities such as the landline telephone network. The tech industry, meanwhile, argues that social media companies have First Amendment rights to make editorial decisions about what to show. Whitaker said Florida’s law is limited by its definition of social media companies, which focuses on large platforms. “We’re talking about the classic social media platforms, but it looks to me like it could cover Uber. Whitaker said social media platforms had opaque algorithms that prevent users from fully understanding how content curation happens.

Mention “Happy Days” to TV viewers of a certain age (raises hand) and the first thing they remember might be not an episode or a scene or a catchphrase but a lunchbox. To remember “Happy Days” is to remember your youth, which was also the function of “Happy Days” when it premiered in 1974. Now “Happy Days” is 50 years old. Last year, that series’s sequel, “That ’90s Show,” created a ’90s version of the ’70s version of the ’50s. “Happy Days” was nostalgic because the teenagers weren’t smoking weed.

Goldman Sachs announced its 2023 class of managing directors Thursday afternoon, giving 608 employees the coveted title. It's a smaller cohort than the bank's 2021 MD class, down 5% amid a dealmaking slowdown. Still, Goldman appears to have taken pains to promote employees in revenue-generating divisions like investment banking and trading. Goldman says the percentage of women it promoted as part of the 2023 MD class sets a record, up 1% from 2021. Two years ago, Goldman promoted the largest managing director class in its history, naming 643 employees to the designation in 2021.

This overall cheeriness and settled demeanor is particularly interesting because Winkler didn't grow up in a happy home. Political Cartoons View All 1230 ImagesWinkler writes about landing the role of Arthur Fonzarelli, the Fonz, on TV’s “Happy Days'' in a 1973 audition. I cannot believe that dummer Hund, that dumb dog, (a name his parents called him) has done this accomplishment. AP: You write about rising to fame overnight as Fonzie on “Happy Days." AP: One surprise in the book was how ABC wanted to rename “Happy Days” to “Fonzie's Happy Days” to capitalize on your popularity, but you asked them not to.

Daniel Silva’s “The Collector.” Daniel writes the way I dream of writing. In your Hank Zipzer children’s book series and again in your new memoir, “Being Henry,” you write about growing up with dyslexia. Describe your ideal reading experience (when, where, what, how). My ideal reading experience is the dream of being able to read as smoothly as other people do. I heard that Jack Kennedy would speed-read six newspapers in the morning by running his finger down the middle of the page.

☆ At unicorn startup Carta, a culture of absolute fealty to an erratic and vindictive CEO, employees say

Both men remained valued employees at Carta, with the sales representative even getting promoted just weeks after the alleged "helicopter penis" incident, according to former employees. CEO Henry Ward cofounded Carta, originally called eShares, in 2012 as a service for startups to digitize their paper stock certificates. Today Carta helps startups track their investors, employees manage their equity awards, and venture capitalists administer their funds. The lawsuit says that 10 days after Rogers filed her complaint, Ward "began treating Ms. Rogers in an aggressive and demeaning manner during several meetings." Many of the employees who have spoken out publicly about Carta and Ward have found themselves embroiled in expensive legal battles.
