👋Good morning! Saturday morning has a particular sound to it: the kettle, the dog asking pointed questions about the walk, the blessed silence of a calendar with nothing in it. Enjoy it, because Friday was loud. It didn't so much end the week as slam the door on its way out. Energy got expensive, borrowed money suddenly looked a lot pricier, and the grand AI party everyone's been invited to started checking whether anyone had actually paid for the drinks. Policymakers spent the day sounding calm in that very specific way that makes you nervous, and the people building the future were busy drafting the rules they'd quite like to be held to. It was a day about bills arriving (for energy, for ambition, for promises). So pour something warm, put your feet up, and let's go through what happened while you were sensibly logging off.
