Police in India have arrested a man accused of operating a fake embassy for years in a rental outside New Delhi, as well as adding fake diplomatic plates on four cars adorned with flags from several nations. The man claimed he was operating as an advisor or ambassador to countries called “Seborga” or “Westarctica,” a truly incredible bit. https://apnews.com/article/india-fake-embassy-arrest-bddf800f5d851320d2d2c32ce318756f

Some exciting news: Starting today, I'm the new writer of the climate magazine Heatmap's flagship daily morning newsletter, the AM Briefing. You can read my first issue here, and sign up for tomorrow's edition: https://heatmap.news/climate/epa-science-research-shutdown I'll still be writing everywhere else I typically do, and authoring my own Field Notes newsletter. But this will be an exciting place to get my roundup of the day's top stories every weekday morning.

whoa: at the big Magic: The Gathering auction over the weekend an Unlimited CGC 5 Black Lotus card sold for $10,625, down significantly from the $15,000 to $20,000 that cards of that quality were going for in 2023. One theory? Interest in the classics is waning as collector attention goes to new cards. https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/60041/vintage-magic-the-gathering-singles-prices-struggle

this @kaufman scoop is very cool It’s not like there’s a lack of money — $50 billion has accrued federal Nuclear Waste Fund — but there is a lack of will to be the guy that points at a spot on a map in a swing state and say “that’s where all the nuclear waste should go.” https://kaufman.substack.com/p/top-nuclear-groups-press-trump-administration

France and Britain cut a deal that will allow the Bayeux Tapestry to go on display at the British Museum next year. Its the first time the tapestry will be in Britain in nearly 1,000 years! As you can imagine, it’s devastating to have a priceless artifact of your cultural history stuck in the museum of another country. Greece, Afghanistan, China, Ireland, India, Nigeria, South Africa, Rapa Nui, Italy, Pakistan, Ghana, Ethiopia, Sudan, Scotland, Iran, Iraq and Egypt must be sending the British Museum their thoughts and prayers lol
