Happy Monday, TFP. As of today, Meta reportedly has no fact-checkers in the US, according to the company’s chief global affairs officer, Joel Kaplan. It’s okay, we’ll keep fact-checking our stories over here… but we also accept community notes (an email) from our eagle-eyed readers when we get something wrong. We appreciate all of you.

Vimeo is debuting a new feature called “Vimeo Streaming” that allows users to build their own streaming services through the platform.

The Big Picture: At one point, Vimeo was seen as a storytelling-focused alternative to YouTube… but ended up transitioning to an enterprise-first platform under its former CEO. Under new chief executive Philip Moyer, Vimeo seems to be returning to catering to creators by focusing on its tech instead of an algorithm. The move could position Vimeo as a rare and stable choice for creators looking to build a following.

Behind the Scenes: Vimeo is giving creators the power to start their own version of a streaming platform.

Final Upload: It looks as if Vimeo wants to exist at the cross section between video platforms like YouTube and subscription platforms like Patreon. If Vimeo can make good on the personal streaming-service pitch, it could be a transformative product that allows creators to build consistent revenue. Case in point: Dropout (formerly College Humor) already uses Vimeo Streaming and calls it “far and away, our biggest revenue driver.”

Honda plans to test its hydrogen power in orbit via new partnerships with Sierra Space and Tec-Masters to see if it can launch a fully self-sustainable power and oxygen source.

Why It Flies: Honda has stayed the course on hydrogen as the key to decarbonizing its vehicles by 2040… but the approach hasn’t garnered much outside support due to price and logistics issues. If Honda can prove its power beyond Earth, it may give people the push to invest in it back on the surface.

Between the Fuel Cells: Honda thinks hydrogen power could give life to space stations and astronauts.

The Future: The hope is that the system can provide oxygen and electricity on a future lunar colony — a mission that several space startups want to make a reality. Having a regenerative energy source makes that ambition much more possible and may serve as key infrastructure for humans to one day complete the long journey to Mars.

87.1% of you voted Yes in Friday’s poll: Are you concerned that the new tariffs could trigger a recession?

“Here we go! :/”

“Those of us who are retired will feel the impact of these tariffs the most. Half of our retirement is associated with the stock market. That part of our income may take a drastic fall. Then the Medicare portion is also questionable.”

“I want to believe that it will be short-term but am unsure about the end game. Don’t think it could be worse than the last four years. That was runaway inflation without a plan.”

“If you look at the long-term results (more free trade, production in the US), it would be worth the temporary pain.”
