After watching Inter crash out of the Champions League on Tuesday at the hands of Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt, Juventus could be the final Italian side remaining in Champions League play by the time they host Galatasaray on Wednesday.

Nuclear power was once an environmental boogeyman, but not anymore. Somehow, despite shedding its reputation for creating Blinky the three-eyed fish on the Simpsons, and despite convincing AOC to like it, nuclear power is still managing to be right-coded in the year 2026. Nuclear’s sketchiness is just mutating into a new form—smearing it with the same cultural muck as crypto and AI.  In September of last year, when Trump negotiated tariffs with Japan, Japan’s end of the bargain required its government to invest $550 billion in the U.S. That deal is creating a giant pool of Japanese money for American…

The restaurant, located on the hotel’s lowest level, with low ceilings, stone walls, and views onto the surrounding forest, is overseen by the Italian chef Davide Degiovanni, who built out his CV in London at the Four Seasons in Mayfair and as head chef at Gordon Ramsay’s Union Street Café.
