Here’s How the AI Crash Happens The U.S. is becoming an Nvidia-state.

The new "Big Short"

Data-center leases can be combined into a security and sorted into what are called β€œtranches” based on their risk of default. Exactly what Wall Street did with mortgages - and falsely marketing them as high-quality - until it all crashed.

The escalations in Venezuela mirror Trump's escalations in our streets. The lawlessness is the same, but the lethality of force isn't, yet.

A lot of people who don’t attend church and have an axe to grind about Christianity are quick to criticize our faith because this fits an anti-faith narrative. Non-evangelical Christian’s are allies.

Not saying you one of those people but I’m anticipating they’ll show up in the comments.

It sounds self righteous to say that about churches universally. It is a time for church staff to be introspective and look for ways to help but giving it all away without weighing the costs elsewhere in church programs?

This is why Gavin Newsom is a non-starter for me.

Sure, he's "a fighter" who's landed a few good punches on Trump, but that's not the same thing as a leader.

A real leader doesn't fight back against an authoritarian takeover by using the most vulnerable as his shield.

Remember that ceasefire everyone praised Trump for securing between Israel & Gaza?

Netanyahu just massacred 104 Palestinian civilians, including 46 children, on the mere accusation that Hamas handed over the 'wrong' corpse

HE MASSACRED 46 CHILDREN & I doubt you've heard one media outlet mention it
