🪷 “The White Lotus Effect” — HBO’s tourism bump. DeepSeek’s copy/paste. The Bacon IPO.

Description:

“White Lotus Season 3” is about to debut… and it’ll boost Thailand’s economy by 20%.

The biggest IPO of 2025 is a bacon biz… so we devoured the first pureplay pork stock.

We now know how DeepSeek caught up to ChatGPT… the ol’ “copy/paste.”

Plus, the Utah Hockey Club is choosing a new name… but the fans at the rink decide tonight.
