▼ + stars: | 2023-06-10 | by ( Ryan Hogg | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Omega says three former employees faked a watch it paid $3.4 million for, per Switzerland's NZZ. A representative told Bloomberg the watch was a "Frankenstein" that was made of several parts. It was bought by Omega for just over 3.1 million Swiss Francs, or about $3.4 million – a record price for a Speedmaster, per Bloomberg. But according to a statement Omega gave to Bloomberg, the watch was instead a "Frankenstein" that contained mostly authentic parts from other vintage watches. It told Bloomberg it couldn't say who brought the watch to auction.

Claims online that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis became “furious” after his wife admitted their daughter watches Disney’s “Frozen” every day originated as satire, although some social media users were apparently duped into thinking they are real. Bryan Griffin, press secretary for DeSantis’ political team, told Reuters the claim is false. Reuters has previously debunked satirical claims taken seriously that stemmed from this account (here), (here), (here). There is no evidence that Casey DeSantis said their daughter watches “Frozen” every day (tinyurl.com/26ue8dst). This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team.

The economy shed a net 17,300 jobs in May, entirely in full-time work, while the jobless rate inched up to 5.2%, Statistics Canada said. Analysts surveyed by Reuters had forecast a net gain of 23,200 jobs and for the unemployment rate to edge up to 5.1% in May after staying at 5.0% since December. A series of surprisingly strong economic data and stubbornly high inflation led the Bank of Canada to raise its overnight rate to a 22-year high of 4.75% on Wednesday. "While this is an ugly set of jobs data, the labour force survey is notoriously volatile," said Royce Mendes, head of macro strategy at Desjardins Group. Reports on jobs, inflation and gross domestic product are due out ahead of the next policy announcement on July 12.

Trump's lawyers argued the $2 million in damages awarded to Carroll are "grossly excessive under applicable case law." Carroll's attorney in a statement scoffed at Trump's argument, and noted the jury unanimously found he sexually abused Carroll. "Trump now argues that, even if he did those things, Ms. Carroll doesn't deserve the $5 million in damages that the jury awarded," said Carroll's lawyer, Robbie Kaplan. Carroll is seeking no less than $10 million from Trump in the pending lawsuit. Trump during the town hall said he did not sexually abuse Carroll and has no idea who Carroll was.

Oftentimes, commencement speakers conclude their speeches with something to the effect of, "now go out and change the world."

An announcement by the PGA Tour declared a partnership with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, as well as the DP World Tour, unifying the trio under a new, yet-to-be-named, commercial entity. An eight-time winner on the PGA Tour and the 2020 US Open champion, DeChambeau’s move was a huge coup for LIV Golf. Yet many of the game’s biggest stars stayed put, with several becoming outspoken critics of LIV Golf. The latter purportedly turned down a $700 - $800 million offer to join the breakaway series, according to LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman. “I do feel bad for the PGA Tour players because they were told one thing and something else happened.

☆ All Aboard the Most Extravagant Fashion Cruise

In 1964, John Cheever published a short story called “The Swimmer” in which a seemingly happy suburbanite endeavors to swim his way home across New York’s Westchester County, by going from one backyard pool to the next in an odyssey that reveals the truth of his world. It’s a scenario that sprang to mind during the last cruise (or resort) season, a monthlong series of extravaganzas in far-flung destinations that came to an end last week. It was not hard to imagine fashionistas hieing their way from show to show to show before finally returning home. They could have started in Los Angeles with Chanel on May 9, moved on to Seoul with Gucci, on to Mexico City for Dior, then to northern Italy for Louis Vuitton (which had confusingly held a separate pre-fall show in Seoul just a few weeks before) and Alberta Ferretti, ending in Rio de Janeiro on June 1 with Carolina Herrera. Many of them may have been treated to their trips by the brands themselves (The New York Times does not accept press trips, so yours truly watches the shows on the computer), caravanning around the globe as if the pandemic was a speck in the rearview mirror.

There are plenty of reasons the Vision Pro could flop. apps — that there just aren’t a ton of people in the world who are interested in reading their emails in V.R. But I can’t dismiss the possibility that despite its limitations — such as the need to tote around a connected battery pack — the Vision Pro could be a hit. Part of my open-mindedness to the Vision Pro, I admit, is due to a kind of tech columnist PTSD. In 2013, before the first Apple Watch was released, I wrote a column confidently declaring that smartwatches were a dumb idea.

☆ Can HBO’s ‘The Idol’ Bring Back ’80s Sleaze?

The first episode begins with the pop star Jocelyn, played by Lily-Rose Depp, baring her breasts during a photo shoot as a team of handlers, crew members and an ineffectual intimacy coordinator look on. There will be no flannel PJs for Joss; a pair of wake-up scenes make it clear to viewers that she sleeps in a thong. It isn’t only the show’s gratuitous nudity that harks back to Mr. Lyne and company, but the overall look and mood, which recall a louche glamour from the time of boxy Armani suits and cocaine nights. A main setting is a $70 million mansion in Bel Air that looks like something out of Mr. De Palma’s “Scarface” but is in fact Mr. Tesfaye’s real-life home. A number of young viewers have said they find sex scenes embarrassing, but Mr. Levinson, who created the HBO drama “Euphoria,” and his fellow producers have made no secret of their desire to pay homage to the heyday of Cinemax (when it had the nickname Skinemax).

Activist Commentary: Elliott is a very successful and astute activist investor, particularly in the technology sector. In January 2017, the firm filed a 13D on NRG with a plan centered around operational improvements and portfolio actions. As part of its plan, Elliott suggested that NRG focus on its core businesses by reducing costs, monetizing non-core assets to simplify its portfolio and paying down debt. To effectively oversee this plan, Elliott believes that the board needs new independent directors with expertise in the power and energy industry. "Strong management will be key to the success of the Repower NRG Plan," and "significant changes are needed."
