Iran’s Oil Dollars Are Drying Up—and Plunging It Deeper Into Crisis
Do you think it may be possible that Voldemort knows what he's doing? Hey, easy! I did not say that. I'm just asking.

Arizona colleges enrollment is dropping. What's that say nationaally?
Ironically as second tier university enrollment slides, more young adults are choosing to read the Report vs conventional education. I asked Claude to weigh in and comment on the video (PS converted the video to a transcript and ran it through the AI chatbot) 1. Demographics — the dominant, structural driver This is the biggest factor by far, and it's not cyclical — it's permanent. Birth rates fell roughly 23% from 2007–2022 (the "Great Recession baby bust"), and those cohort

Baby Boomers refuse to leave the C Suite?
I had Claude check on this. Sounds like it's on the level. Me? I have no plans to retire unless Murdoch buys the Report. Honestly, his offers have been insultingly low.

Are serial killers vanishing from the landscape?
This doesn't mean that Dirty Harry isn't relevant or a cinematic masterpiece. This is based on the Radford University/FGCU Serial Killer Database, which tracks the number of separate serial killers (2+ victims) operating in the U.S. each year — the standard metric used in this research since exact "killings per year" isn't cleanly tracked, but active-killer count is the closest available proxy and what criminologists typically cite.

Lindsay Clansey is not the GOAT!
Winners never quit and quitters never win. Vince Lombardi Constance Margaret Fisher (née Sirois; March 26, 1929 – October 1, 1973) was an American serial mass murderer.

After spending several years in a mental institution, she was released, only to kill three more of her children in 1966. Deemed unfit to stand trial, she was hospitalized at the Augusta State Hospital, from which she mana

Lindsay Clancy and the inversion of feminism
Ironic that this is finally trending now, having occurred a almost 4 years ago. Even stranger is the outpouring of sympathy for what is either a psychotic child killer or a cold blood murderer. Whether she belongs in prison or confined to a mental institution is a legal question open to interpretation. Whether she's a monster? Sorry...can't muster much sympathy for this one. Who knows, maybe she'll be free someday and try her hand at motherhood again. Hope someone can arm

Did Bud Lights new ad land? Might it save the brand?
In case you live under a rock, three years ago Bud Light, then the top beer brand in American, decided to completely destroy itself with this enlighted ad. What happened next. This happened next! Ouch. Now they're trying to reset the narrative and reestablish the brand and it's blue collar customer base. They figure Shane Gillis can do the trick. The attempt is pathetic and a huge career misstep for the comedian. So, no it did not land.

Lululemon billionaire founder Chip Wilson files for divorce after 20 years of marriage — with no prenup in place
It's alway tragic to see two people with toned abs fall out of love. Sadly, I fear she's going to rip his bank account to shreds in the proceedings. He's going to really lean on 3-4 visits to the gym each day to keep the stress level in place. Yes, he was a little Alpha but aren't all us succesful male units? No? Am I being insensitive? I have no proof he's boofing that intern in accounting. He may have acting admirably. Unlikely, but hypothetically possible. Lululemon bi

Snitz examines the college arms race!
Snitz mansplaines why some colleges are winning big and others are getting their lungs ripped out. Actually, Gemini Ai is doing the mansplaining after some prodding. In undergraduate admissions, the landscape is experiencing a bifurcated "great sort." While total high-school graduate numbers are entering the predicted demographic cliff (a birth-rate drop tracing back to the 2008 financial crisis), applications have not dropped universally. Instead, applications are concentrat
