President Donald Trump plans to release about 80,000 pages of material related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Tuesday, seeking to honor his campaign promise to provide more transparency about the shock event in Texas. “It’s a lot of stuff, and you’ll make your own determination,” Trump told reporters about the pages on Monday. Trump signed an order shortly after taking office in January related to the release, prompting the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation to find thousands of new documents related to the Kennedy assassination in Dallas. In the scramble to comply with Trump’s order, the U.S. Justice Department ordered some of its lawyers who handle sensitive national-security matters to urgently review records from the assassination, according to a Monday evening email seen by Reuters. A White House official said the documents would be released on Tuesday in the afternoon through the National Archives. Kennedy’s murder has been attributed to a sole gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald. The Justice Department and other federal government bodies reaffirmed that conclusion in the intervening decades. But polls show many Americans believe his death was a result of a conspiracy. Experts doubt the new trove of information will change the underlying facts of the case, that Lee Harvey Oswald opened fire at Kennedy from a window at a school book deposit warehouse as the presidential motorcade passed by Dealey Plaza in Dallas. “People expecting big things are almost certain to be disappointed,” said Larry Sabato, the director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, who authored a book about the assassination. He said some of the pages could simply be the release of previously published material that had a few words redacted. Trump has also promised to release documents on the assassinations of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and Senator Robert Kennedy, both of whom were killed in 1968. Trump has allowed more time to come up with a plan for those releases. Trump’s secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of Robert Kennedy and nephew of John F. Kennedy, has said he believes the Central Intelligence Agency was involved in his uncle’s death, an allegation the agency has described as baseless. Kennedy Jr. has also said he believes his father was killed by multiple gunmen, an assertion that contradicted official accounts. One revelation the documents could contain is that the CIA was more aware of Oswald than it has previously disclosed. Questions have remained about what the CIA knew about Oswald’s visits to Mexico City six weeks before the assassination. During that trip, Oswald visited the Soviet embassy. “People have been waiting for decades for this,” Trump said. “It’s going to be very interesting.” Steve Holland and Julia Harte, Reuters

Nvidia indulged all your artificial intelligence fantasies on Tuesday at what was being called the Super Bowl of AI. The chip giant’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) was held at the SAP Center in San Jose on Tuesday, and it wasyou guessed itall about AI. Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang made several large announcements during a two-hour keynote, with plenty of meat to keep AI-hungry consumers and businesses happy. That includes partnerships with large automakers to build autonomous vehicles and even personal AI supercomputers that sit right on your desktop. Here are some of the key announcements from Huangs keynote: GM partnership: General Motors selects Nvidia to build out its self-driving vehicle fleet, incorporating the technology in manufacturing and enterprise centers, in addition to in-vehicle features. Nvidia Dynamo: Dynamo is, in essence, the operating system of an AI factory, which will help companies process information to streamline AI capabilities. DGX Spark and DGX Station: New desktop personal AI supercomputers that are powered by Nvidias Grace Blackwell platform. The DGX Spark was announced earlier this year under the name Digits and will retail for $3,000. Robotics: Huang talked at length about the coming iteration of physical AI, which includes robotics, and announced a joint project between DeepMind and Disney Research for a new robotics platform called Newton. Huang was even joined onstage by a Disney-like robot that resembled the titular character from Wall-E. Huang noted that the time has come for robots, as the world is experiencing a shortage of human workers. Were 50 million short, he said, which is what will spur the robotics revolution. With generative AI now in widespread use, and agentic AI becoming ever-more ubiquitous, its only a matter of time before robots and other types of physical AI become commonplace, too. As such, Nvidia is keen on creating the infrastructure and technology to power it all. Investors didnt seem too enthused by the keynote, however. Prior to the keynote, shares of Nvidia Corp (Nasdaq: NVDA) were trading at around $118 per share, down roughly 1.5% during intraday trading. After it concluded around 3:15 p.m. ET, shares continued to sag. The stock was down more than 3.4% as of late-afternoon trading on Tuesday.

Struggling to get enough spinach in your diet? Rather than rustling up a salad or green smoothie, one TikToker has a rather unusual hack to ensure she hits her daily greens goal. I call it dinosaur time, TikTok user @sahmthingsup said in a video posted last month, wherein she stands over the sink and stuffs handfuls of raw spinach into her mouth. @sahmthingsup Ive been going strong on dinosaur time for about a week now as a supplement to my normal lunches and I feel pretty good. So maybe try it out #greens #healthy #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #healthylifestyle #fyp #dinosaur #dinosaurtime #Fitness #fitnesstips #nutrition #nutritiontips #macros original sound – sahmthingsup While it may not be the most appetizing way to consume the leafy greens, the food “hack” has already racked up more than one million views. For added enrichment, put on a dinosaur documentary, one user commented. Another added: My life changed when I realized I could do this with any food I should be getting more of. In an interview with the New York Post, @sahmthingsup explained that she started eating raw greens as a way of managing her macronutrient-rich diet. Assembling salads every day was time-consuming; when she saw a Facebook post that suggested eating handfuls of spinach over the sink, it was a lightbulb moment. I thought it was genius, so I decided to do the same and it worked beautifully, she told the Post. Since it reminded her of a Brachiosaurus eating leaves from the tree in the film Jurassic Park, she decided to call it dinosaur time. And thus a trend was born. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals while being low in calories, spinach is a superfood when it comes to overall health. Rich in vitamin A, C, and K1, as well as iron, calcium, and folate, getting enough spinach in your diet supports immune function, bone health, and red blood cell production. While rawdogging handfuls of spinach may not be everyone’s idea of a fun snack, @sahmthingsup confessed that during dinosaur time, she channels Spike after he hatches out of his egg in the film The Land Before Time. The video somehow found its way onto the radar of Stu Krieger, writer of the 1998 film. He gave the hack his stamp of approval, commenting, This might be the best channeling of Spike Ive ever seen.
