TGIF.

A lot to think about over the weekend.

Last night in Osaka, Donald Trump sat down with Vladimir Putin at the G-20 for their first meeting since the Mueller report came out. When asked by a reporter about 2020 election meddling, Trump dismissed the question with humor by wagging his finger at Vladimir and said “Don’t meddle.”

A U.S. – China trade war also hangs in the balance at the G-20 as Xi Jinping and Trump prepare to meet tomorrow.

And in Miami last night, the second democratic presidential debate highlighted a shift in the primary from candidates attacking Trump to attacking each other.

Let’s leave despair until Monday. Later today, I’m shifting my attention to the Women’s World Cup where the United States faces France, the tournament host, in a highly anticipated quarterfinal between what are the two strongest teams. The winner will play England on Tuesday. The Americans are the most accomplished women’s team in the world and the defending World Cup champion. #USA

And if you want to find a parade or dance party in New York City, we hope you’ve been resting up because this weekend is going to be a fun one.

Bloomberg employees, friends and family will descend onto Randall’s Island for the annual New York summer picnic. Check out this throwback photo from a picnic in the 1990s.

And four million people are expected to arrive in New York City this weekend to celebrate World Pride. Could there be a better kind of guest?

Not Just the 737 Max: Pilots Flagged Software Problems on Boeing Jets Besides the Max (Bloomberg)
Commercial pilots flying Boeing’s NG, or “Next Generation,” models have registered concerns on a variety of computer problems through the Aviation Safety Reporting System, a database administered by NASA. One reason glitches are multiplying is that Boeing and Airbus are both trying to shoehorn more complicated digital systems into older designs. Boeing shares dropped after Bloomberg’s report.

Best of late night.

On a U.S. Christian group that gathered 20,000 signatures on a petition to cancel the Amazon Prime TV show “Good Omens”:

“The problem is they sent the petition to Netflix, but the show is on Amazon Prime! So they have also demanded that ABC cancel “The CBS Evening News.”

On the Democratic presidential debate last night:

“Tonight we saw the clash of the big B’s, Biden, Bernie, Buttigieg…Bicken-Blooper.”
–Stephen Colbert

“With 10 people onstage it was less of a debate and more of, like, a lightning round. Or in Bernie Sanders’s case, more a ‘struck-by-lightning round.’”
— Jimmy Fallon

On World Pride festivities in New York City this weekend where four million people are expected to attend:

“New York will hold its annual LGBTQ pride parade this weekend. And if you don’t know what LGBTQ stands for, those are the trains that will be out of service.”
