Who won the Westminster Dog Show?
Then the publishing world is locked in a heated debate over those little blurbs you see on the back of books. It's Wednesday, February 12th. Let's ride.
The Super Bowl wasn't the only contest that everyone you know is talking about this week. The Westminster Dog Show was held last night, and best in show went to a giant schnauzer named Monty. It's the most prestigious prize in the U.S. dog show world, where dogs are judged according to how closely they match the ideal for their breed. Monty's owner and handler could barely hold back tears on the podium. Puppy did the damn thing, and I'm so proud of him, she said. Having been named the top dog, Monty will now be retiring from competition. Toby, what did you accomplish when you were five years old?
Absolutely nothing compared to Monty. This was Monty's third time in a row representing the working group classification of dogs. Screw the Chiefs dynasty. I'm all in on the Monty dynasty. Hopefully it kicks off a new era for the working group, though. This was its first win since 2004. You also got a feel for Bourbon the Whippet, who is a runner up for the third time at the competition. And get this, the nine and a half year old Came out of retirement just days before the competition, so what a performance out of Bourbon. Other finalists did include the crowd favorite, Neil, the Bichon Frise representing the non-sporting group. Neil, never heard of a dog called Neil.
That is also the first time I've heard of a dog named Neil, and I feel bad for that dog, to be honest.
But get this, Neil, heel does kind of roll off the tongue. But congrats to Monty. Its owner says it's retiring from the competition on top. What a performance. Now a word from our sponsor, Wise Business. Neil, I notice you've been getting into jigsaw puzzles lately. I love it. Very meditative. But you also do them without looking at the picture on the box. That is wild to me. I like the challenge. You're puzzling with one hand behind your back. It's like trying to send and receive international payments without using wise. You are choosing to ignore a tool that could make things faster and easier.
Well, I'm not an international business owner. I'm just a humble puzzler.
Thank goodness you aren't because growing businesses know that wise business is the move. Just like a real puzzler knows that looking at the picture can speed up your process. I'll admit wise business is the move, but you can never make me look at the picture. Don't be like Neil. Visit wise.com slash business to speed up your payment processes abroad.

What is the feud between Elon Musk and Sam Altman about?
Well, Mom, the billionaires are fighting again. Sam Altman and Elon Musk escalated their beef yesterday with the two trading barbs on X in interviews over Elon's last-ditch attempt to hijack a deal to make OpenAI a for-profit company. Earlier this week, Elon shocked the tech bro world by making an unsolicited bid to purchase the nonprofit arm that controls OpenAI for $97.4 billion. Elon co-founded the multi-billion-dollar startup with Sam Altman as a nonprofit back in 2015, but has spent much of the past few years railing against Altman's plan to convert the company into a for-profit entity. Through submitting a bid, Elon has thrown a wrench into those carefully laid plans. OpenAI's board doesn't have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize returns, since it's technically a charity. But by submitting a bid, Elon is setting a public floor price for anything Altman ends up offering, likely forcing him to pay a higher price to take control.
