AI is really really good at creating really really ugly pictures. None of that here (and no photoshop either).
There is truth in real photographs, which is why AI is out to destroy real photography.

Two-thirds of all calls to FEMA from Kerr county survivors went unanswered. Why?
Because FEMA had laid off most of its call center workers.
It laid them off THE DAY AFTER THE FLOOD.

The best source for nuts-and-bolts reporting on the war is ISW. See the "Political Developments" section. There still is room for a diplomatic solution (but via the EU not Trump).
3.67 enrichment is for power generation, not bombs.

Google AI fucks up again!
I typed "YTD total return" into Google. The response:
"To calculate YTD, subtract the starting year value from the current value, divide the result by the starting-year value; multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage."
WRONG! This ignores dividends!

All #Tesla chargers are being removed from the New Jersey Turnpike.
They are being replaced by Applegreens. Not my favorite chargers but they work with all cars. Looks like NJT is anticipating a lot fewer Teslas on the road.
FYI my favorite chargers are Jule.

My daughter works for The Visiting Nurse Service. Worked. DOGE cut their funding and yesterday she and hundreds of her colleagues were laid off. She'll survive, but tens of thousands of elderly won't. For over a hundred years the VNS have been saving lives: what Elon calls "suicidal compassion"

US treasuries are no longer priced at the risk-free rate, or anywhere near it.
This has terrible implications for the cost of the national debt (as opposed to the size of it).
Proof: just compare the euro vs us yield curve.

The rats are fleeing the ship.
Tesla's chief software engineer quit. Given his track record I doubt he was forced out.
What's going on? My guess: he plans on cashing out as soon as his contract allows.
Expect others.
