A few minutes after I'd hopped on a call with a tech founder, he mentioned that he'd started using an "amazing" AI notetaking app. AdvertisementI've been using Granola since midsummer, and it's changed my meetings. In fact, given the whac-a-mole way many of us work — quickly triaging the messages that bombard us throughout the day — AI notetaking apps could have our back. That's notable, in part, because in a recent survey, 57% of Granola users reported being in leadership roles.

I'm 41, and until very recently, I thought I would remain child-free. My parents, lifelong teachers and coaches, have centered their entire existence around family and kids. Maybe evolution would keep them around long enough to spend time with the kids of their own late-blooming kids after all. We'd both been ambivalent about having kids, at best. I see how having kids can deepen one's relationship with their parents and the rest of their family, and I want that for all of us.

She wants to rebuild for her family of six, but the costs are overwhelming, especially since her rental assistance ran out two months ago. For many Lahaina homeowners, rental assistance through their insurance ended in October after they’d spent the first couple of months post-fire filing claims and getting shuffled into hotels. Carolyn Auweloa and Mikey Burke have started Lahaina Community Land Trust so residents have the option to stay in Lahaina or sell within the community. Before they can apply for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s rental assistance, homeowners must first exhaust all of their LOU and ALE policies, which cover rental costs when a disaster makes your home uninhabitable. The Lahaina Community Land Trust understands that funding is an uphill battle, but it has slowly been making gains.

President-elect Donald Trump announced Saturday he would pick Kash Patel, a 44-year-old loyalist with little significant experience in federal law enforcement, to serve as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Patel, who will have to earn Senate confirmation to become FBI director, has earned a reputation as the ultimate Trump loyalist who has spread baseless "deep state" conspiracy theories and called for a purge of perceived Trump enemies in the FBI. He's arguably the least qualified person ever nominated for a senior position in federal law enforcement," said a former senior law enforcement official who interacted with Patel. "The Deep State is an unelected cabal of tyrants who think they should determine who Americans can and cannot elect as president," Patel wrote.
