So SARAH PALIN, the beginning of the sharp decline of the GOP and American politics, claims she was duped by the great SACHA BARON COHEN. How is that now the most meta thing in the history of the universe?... For the first time in years, there's tangible optimism in the music business, and some leading companies are taking that optimism to WALL STREET. Are we in a music bull market? MusicREDEF's MATTY KARAS takes a look in MusicSET: "The Year of the Music IPO? "... For four years, REDEF has been charting how NETFLIX was misunderstood, what it was trying to achieve and what it would take to get there. MATT BALL takes a look back at all our pieces in MediaSET: "Signed Up and Hooked In: Netflix's Misunderstood Path to Domination"... Sat in a banquet at SOHO HOUSE WEST HOLLYWOOD and watched FIFA WORLD CUP and ate. Then worked and ate. And hung and ate. So I had to pay on the elliptical for 2 hours ... My friend JOHN AVLON married his reach school. And oh, FIRING LINE is coming back...

| Five years ago, 25-year-old radical libertarian Cody Wilson stood on a remote central Texas gun range and pulled the trigger on the world's first fully 3-D-printed gun. When, to his relief, his plastic invention fired a .223-caliber bullet into a berm of dirt without jamming or exploding in his hands, he drove back to Austin and uploaded the blueprints for the pistol to his website, Defcad.com. | | |
