US secured debt issuance tied to data centers is projected to reach a record $25.4 billion in 2025.
This would represent a +112% jump from the $12.0 billion issued in 2024."

You’re leaving Beignet off that list. Plus a couple Oracle-related data center syndicated loan deals that summed to ~$40bn IIRC. Then of course there’s all the middle market construction lending on individual data center projects. ORCL has 10% of LT debt in cash. Meta’s debt is $6bn > cash. Etc.

Absolutely recommend giving this a listen. Porn bans have historically always related to controlling people and suppressing minorities, and today, it's also about collecting and selling your private data.
OMG! Adam Conover platforming adult performers! I know the guy has a huuuge liberal audience - many of whom are unfortunately anti-porn - hopefully atleast few people will get it, finally.

NFIB data is suspect in general but its labor market series does a good job tracking national conditions and this morning's release showed little change, further reinforcing the idea that labor demand and supply have dropped but are not collapsing as in a recession.

c) they moved everything, again
d) the internet gremlins have decided to mess with my head
or e) all the above.

IMO, if you want to use Bayesian statistics in your professional work, either (a) work through at least one Bayesian textbook yourself or (b) collaborate with someone who has already done that work themselves.
Take your data seriously.

Big companies could fund four years’ worth of SNAP benefits from what they’re spending on AI. It may not be a bubble but the numbers in AI are bonkers.
