On top of everything else, oil and gas prices are going to spike because of Trumpโ€™s war in Iran.

The US Had a Big Battery Boom Last Year Despite Donald Trumpโ€™s unrelenting attacks on renewable energy, thereโ€™s a quiet revolution happening on US grids.

Big Battery Energy? Yes, America boomed in 2025. ๐Ÿ”‹ Batteries are one of the 6 technologies outlined by Sr. Scientist Amanda Smith, PhD. that will make up the cleaner electric grid of the future.

I get the whole โ€œQuit ChatGPTโ€, but honestly they are all bullshit generating, automated plagiarism machines.

They do more harm than good to society, without a doubt, and we would be better off walking away and focusing on enhancing, not replacing, human skills.

When you lay off 40% of your workforce on a single day, without some kind of fiscal emergency, it doesnโ€™t make you a business genius.

It makes you a moron who didnโ€™t see โ€” for months and years โ€” that nearly half of your entire organization wasnโ€™t needed.

The companyโ€™s โ€œAIโ€ famously canโ€™t do anything right even 50% of the time, and they are so transparently unethical that even the Facebook folks are like โ€œwe probably shouldnโ€™t use tech that way,โ€ so sure, by all means, put them in charge of the nuclear codes or whatever.

Whenever I see something like this, I immediately think about the dozens of meetings, pitch decks, proposals, and business plans that led up to this.

Creating this was actually a serious *job* for a bunch of people.

And it would be fun to meet them at a party.

โ€œSo, what do you do?โ€

Sheโ€™s raised almost $20m to help Minnesota โ€“ she thinks you can do it too Ashley Fairbanks launched Stand with Minnesota as ICE raids rocked her home town โ€“ now donations are pouring in, and familiesโ€™ rent is being paid

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this.

I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it.

I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.
