The “enshittification” of the internet just got a surprising new poster boy: Don Draper.

HBO Max’s $WBD ( ▲ 0.16% ) 4K Mad Men remaster was supposed to signal an upgrade. Instead, viewers got mislabeled episodes, stray crew members on screen, and the unmistakable sense that digital quality control keeps getting worse, not better.

The streamer claims Lionsgate $LGF.B ( ▲ 1.14% ) bears responsibility for sending the wrong files. Or maybe smoke just got in their eyes. Culprit aside, the real story is a familiar one: platforms cutting corners, raising prices, and delivering sloppier products in the process.

Gold sits near record highs. US policy is shifting toward critical minerals. That backdrop puts US Gold Corp (NASDAQ: USAU) in the spotlight.

The CK Gold Project in Wyoming is fully permitted and moving toward construction in 2026. It is designed to deliver more than 100,000 gold-equivalent ounces annually at roughly $800 all-in sustaining costs. A recent land purchase in Cheyenne strengthens logistics, workforce access, and community buffers.

USAU also controls exploration upside across Keystone in Nevada and Challis in Idaho, two of America’s most proven mining regions. Policy momentum toward domestic copper and gold supply adds further tailwinds.

With analysts targeting $15 to $23.50 and a leadership team built for development, US Gold Corp aligns rising gold prices with America’s drive for mineral independence.

Fast-casual restaurant chains have hit a rough patch.

After years of riding a wellness wave, so-called “slop bowl” names like Chipotle $CMG ( ▼ 0.62% ), Cava $CAVA ( ▲ 3.34% ), and Sweetgreen $SG ( ▲ 4.67% ) have seen, well, sloppier results. Stocks reset as younger consumers tightened budgets and cooked from home again.

Student-loan payments, higher rents, and a weaker job market have driven that change, according to the Wall Street Journal. When younger customers retrench, fast casual feels it first. About 3 in 4 of their diners are Gen Z and millennials.

Ergo, it’s no surprise to see shorter lines and slower comps in the near term. But, WSJ argues, the long-term picture is different.

Slop bowls still hit the sweet spot between value and quality. These chains cost only slightly more than fast food and meaningfully less than a sit-down meal. That mix has expanded the customer base far beyond office workers, to students, tradespeople, and delivery drivers.

After a sharp pullback, Cava looks like the group’s most compelling story, per the publication. The stock has fallen back near its post-IPO levels, following guidance cuts for same-store sales and profitability. Management called out the “honeymoon effect” that fades after new openings.

But, meanwhile, business has grown. Revenue is on pace to rise more than 20% this year. Store count keeps climbing. And new units have been opening with annual sales well ahead of targets.

In other words, Cava seems to have a stronger footing now than when it went public. If it executes, analysts see it scaling well past 1,000 locations. Some predict a path closer to 2,000, based on density in core markets.

The stock may never be the cheapest lunch in town. But for long-term investors, analysts say Cava still looks like a solid value menu.

Gold is nearing all-time highs. US mineral policy is tightening. In this environment, US Gold Corp (NASDAQ: USAU) is emerging as a standout domestic name in gold and copper.

The CK Gold Project in Wyoming is fully permitted and advancing toward 2026 construction. It holds 1.44 million gold-equivalent ounces in proven and probable reserves and sits on a streamlined regulatory path with no federal approvals. Recent land acquisitions bolster operations and local integration.

Keystone in Nevada and Challis in Idaho add long-term exploration leverage in top US jurisdictions. Meanwhile, policy support for critical minerals and investor demand for gold and copper create a strong setup for near-term producers.

With solid analyst confidence and a disciplined leadership team, US Gold Corp sits at the intersection of rising commodity demand and America’s resource strategy.
