I have never worn anything but for at least 25 years, news to me!

A reader asked our fashion critic: "When did the retro sneaker phase start, and what’s it all about? There are so many cool color combinations … but will it last?"

We were so close to killing off Wendy’s nasty ass food and then dumbass millennial nostalgia brought it back.

Just remembering when I had to sit thru an hour of Dick Durban at my SILs graduation giving a speech about what a powerful brain he had for compromising with the Republicans on everything from inequitable crack sentencing to environmental regulations

I was at the bowling alley and this college kid came up to me b/c I had a Rilo Kiley shirt on and was like "can I get a picture of that shirt, they're my dad's favorite band" and I almost killed myself right there

The real test for Big Z will be seeing how his coalition survives when people like the guy I know supporting him who pays $500 a month to garage his M2 over the winter is they’re giving things up. This is the limit of Sewer Socialism and why Americans turned to stupid shit like Third Way Liberalism

You need to think long and hard about how awful — fat, bald, dumber than dogshit you are.

My pitch to progressives would be that you need to think long and hard about how awful — racist, transphobic, a climate denier whatever else — you think I am and then assimilate the information that I’m a Clinton / Biden / Harris voter and Democrats need to win the votes of people way to my right!

I guess here on Bluesky it's controversial to note that the Democrats, once the majority across this country, were reduced to national minority (in stages, from 1968, to 1980, to 2016) by moving left.
But if you'd rather think I'm just making Trump's point...well, whatever helps you cope.

I'm questioning this statement, "the left started to lose the public (who to this day don't see Reagan the same way they do.)"
Who is this *public* you speak of? Wouldn't the left be a subset of it?
This feels like the current Trump regime's feelings that Democrats aren't real Americans.

I hear “sober minded” type who say “well AI won’t do all the stuff they say but it’ll be specifically useful later on” and like how could it ever be economically viable for anything but socially disruptive impact? It’s not the dot com bust and “buying things online” is still sound business

Premium Newsletter tomorrow: Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft must add $2 Trillion in AI revenue by 2030 or they wasted their capex.

The cost of data centers GPUs may make it impossible to make a profit from AI. Here's $10 off annual.

So, big tech has spent hundreds of billions of dollars of capital expenditures, and much of those expenditures are on GPUs. These GPUs, once installed, immediately begin decaying in value, and the more you use them, the more likely they are to crap out, and even when sitting idle, these GPUs have some power consumption — somewhere between 7% and 14% of their power in the case of the H100 — making them a consistent burden on the infrastructure of any purchaser whether they have customers or not. This becomes an even bigger problem for more expensive GPUs like the B200, which has an idle power draw of 140W per GPU. Extrapolate that out to thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of them, or to the 50,000-per-building of them inside Stargate Abilene’s NVIDIA’s , and you’ve got yourself a problem. Even without customers, even without IT load, these servers sit burning power, and while a company could turn them off and boot them on for a period of time, these racks are often run in clusters — servers of GPUs that are synced together using high-speed networking — and while I can’t find anything firm as far as how long it takes to set up a cluster, this presentation on cluster design from the CEO of Lambda details a cluster’s sheer complexity, involving discrete networking, software layer and storage methods just to get the bloody thing working. In simple terms, it may be expensive to leave them on, but it’s going to take a bunch of time and energy to restart these things, meaning that they are more than likely left on, slowly burning energy. Imagine how bad that is at a scale of hundreds of thousands of GPUs? Yet things might be a little wonkier, as the reality may be that while hyperscalers have customers, those customers might not be using all their GPUs at all times. Although there may be some customers that agree to a minimum spend or throughput, it’s hard to imagine that these contracts are enough to surmount the destructive margins. And when … And when I say “destructive margins,” I mean so much more than just the power to run and cool them. There’s the construction of the data centers to house them, the necessary maintenance, and, of course, any and all debt used to buy them. While I can (and will!) say that for every $50,000 GPU bought, big tech needs to make another $100,000, I believe that the hole created by the GPU’s existence is likely larger than just $100,000, with every construction delay, power outage, or moment of idle compute adding dollars to the hole for each and every GPU. Need a very real example? The Information reported recently that Oracle lost $100 million between June and August 2025 on rentals of NVIDIA’s Blackwell chips: In the three months that ended in August, Oracle lost nearly $100 million from rentals of Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which arrived this year. That’s partly because there is a period between when Oracle gets its data centers ready for customers and when customers start using and paying for them, the documents show. It’s not clear what causes the gap or how Oracle plans to shorten it. So, while we can’t say for sure, there’s a chance a large chunk of these losses were caused by the spread-out deprecation of those Blackwell GPUs — after all, its most recent quarterly earnings included $1.35 billion of depreciation, right? Sidenote: For context, Oracle reported depreciation of $804m in the same period last year, and depreciation of $3.867bn for the whole of FY2025. This should give you a sense of how rapidly these GPUs are becoming a millstone on its earnings. …is there any way to actually recover that $100 million through the margins on these chips? Oracle only has 4.5 years of depreciation on these Blackwell Chips, and The Information reports that those GB200 server racks have a negative 100% gross margin according to internal Oracle documents. If that’s the case, we have a much, much bigger problem, but even if the margins aren’t literally negative…will ther…
