LACMA’s Geffen Galleries: a $723.8 million bet on culture and controversy

LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries carry a final price tag of about $723.8 million (roughly $585 million in hard costs and $138.7 million in soft costs). The project was funded with county support and a large donor campaign, with $125 million in county backing and a $300 million credit, and the campaign has exceeded its $750 million goal (now well over $875 million). Debt has grown to about $617 million and is planned to be paid off by 2050. Despite ongoing criticism of the price and design, museum officials defend the build as essential cultural infrastructure, with previews starting April 19 and general admission in May 2026, after a gala on April 16.

Pentagon: Six-day Iran war costs exceed $11.3B, Congress told

The Defense Department told senators in a closed briefing that the first six days of the Iran conflict cost more than $11.3 billion, with lawmakers warning the total will rise as full costs are tallied; replacement costs for munitions alone could exceed $10 billion. The briefing, reported by The New York Times, comes amid ongoing fighting with hundreds of casualties across the region, including seven U.S. service members killed. Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have intensified as CENTCOM says Iranian minelayers and other vessels were neutralized, and Congress is preparing a supplemental funding bill to cover wartime costs.

Low-dose GLP-1 tapering may sustain weight loss, study suggests

A small Scripps Health study followed 30 patients who reduced their GLP-1 medications after reaching weight-loss plateaus. Many kept their BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar improvements with dosing as infrequent as about every two weeks, though a few regained some weight. While promising for reducing treatment burden and costs, the findings are preliminary and require larger randomized trials to confirm generalizability.

GTA 6 Delay Sparks Financial and Industry Reactions

GTA 6 has been delayed until November 2026, potentially costing Rockstar up to $60 million, despite reports that the game is already content complete and the delay is for polishing and bug fixes. The delay is significant but relatively small compared to the game's projected $2 billion budget, and insiders suggest the postponement is not due to recent layoffs. Fans remain supportive, encouraging Rockstar to take the necessary time for quality.

It encourages starting with small changes, planning for key nutrients like iron and B12, and viewing diet as a supportive tool rather than a perfectionist pursuit.

Mint Mobile Launches Affordable 5G Home Internet Starting at $30

Mint Mobile offers a very affordable 5G home internet plan starting at $30 per month for new customers who also have a Mint phone plan and pay upfront for at least three months, but the actual cost can vary up to $50 depending on the plan details. The service provides comparable speeds to T-Mobile's 5G home internet, with some limitations like data throttling after 1-1.2 TB and fewer perks. The pricing structure is complex, requiring upfront payments and specific plan combinations, making it a potentially good option depending on location and user needs.
