Luigi Mangione, Sam Bankman-Fried and Diddy are all at the same prison in Brooklyn. A group of San Francisco comedians wrote a musical about that -- and it's been selling out. Gift link: wapo.st/4fKymmk

Meme coin enthusiasts acknowledge the silliness and risks of meme coins. But for a generation that can feel excluded from traditional paths to economic independence, betting on a meme coin payday can seem like a reasonable shot at the American Dream.
