In 2007 Al Gore won his Nobel Prize for predicting the Climate Apocalypse. Then Obama fired up the Dems program to go "Green". Remember the Green New Deal championed by Kamala and her buddies. Meanwhile China was calling on all nations to follow their lead on Green technology. AI is the same story repeating itself? I had Claude generate a graph of CO2 emissions below. Yep, China is leading the way...in polluting the earth. The Great AI Slowdown? Nothing is now stopping Anth

This is becoming more typical of mainstream media. The WSJ has a major story on Malls coming back but they don't really explain why or put the data in context. I had Claude take a look at this. Claude arguably did a better job. Gen Z is the biggest driver. WSJ reported that consumers aged 18 to 24 purchased 62% of their merchandise in stores last year — 10 percentage points more than shoppers 25 and older, citing data from Circana. The theory is generational: this cohort sp

If I must go, I'd rather do it myself than have Xi do it to me. Err...wait. That didn't sound right? I smell a dirty Dem rat here! It's fricken Bernie. I knew it. Trump dismisses warnings that AI could wipe out humanity, saying China is the real AI risk The president said the U.S. is leading China in AI by roughly a year, while researchers at Anthropic and OpenAI have warned of catastrophic risk By Cris Tolomia, Quartz Updated September 11, 2026 Trump dismisses warnings th

In inflation adjusted terms, taking into account the curvature of the Earth, The Report is 1.115% more expensive than at this time in 2017. Consumer prices are up 30% since 2019. Here's what got more expensive From steak to rent to car insurance, years of inflation have left nearly every spending category more expensive than before the pandemic By Cris Tolomia, Quartz Media Updated September 11, 2026 Consumer prices are up 30% since 2019.

Welcome to Dr Spritzler's Science YouTube Channel. What James May is getting at, in addition to some cool physics is the fact that trains and tankers are by far the most efficient way to move things or transport cargo (as Claude describes below). Here's roughly how they stack up, in BTU needed to move one ton of cargo one mile (log scale, since the spread is huge): F-150 pickup (gas): ~4,600 BTU/ton-mile — based on DOE/ORNL data for large pickups (~38.5 gal per 1,000 ton-mil

I'm with the Dark Lord on this one. Trump Sees Race Against China as Key Issue on AI Regulation President defends minimal regulation and stresses need to keep lead as tech executives raise alarms about breakneck development By James Romoser, Meridith McGraw and Amrith Ramkumar, WSJ Updated Sept. 13, 2026 President Trump and AI adviser David Sacks defended the administration’s minimal regulation strategy after top AI executives endorsed a slowdown. WASHINGTON—President Trump a

It's time to open the Spritzler School for the Gifted. Children will be admitted with only a pencil, a class uniform and the desire not to be jolted by our patented 110 volt shock generator. Keeps it "fresh". Yes, Children Really Are Getting Dumber Covid shutdowns, grade inflation and now AI are degrading the quality of American education.

Ok, you pathetic children who've never heard of him. He was at one time the world's great and most pompous sportscaster. Billy Crystal capturing the true Howard. In fact Howard was so full of himself, he cast him in Bananas. Howard was a great sport and was happy to be lampooned. Anything to get his face in front of a camera.

I know this will seem odd, but our nation needs more people studying gender differences, diversity and mindfulness. China is missing the boat by generating armies of engineers and removing barriers for businesses to innovate. Sure they'll run the world, most in Gen Z & Millennials will work for a Chinese conglomerate but...we'll be more psychologically "centered". That is until we realize our economy is getting squeezed like Germany is experiencing now. Never mind. Forgot

Hey, I'm as patriotic as the next guy but I'd rather own a BYD (which I can't buy because Voldemort is angry at Xi). I guess that Covid thing pissed him off. And so I need to suffer? Is that fair?

Do you care about any of this crap? NO! What you care about is: The U.S. Electorate’s Changing Racial and Ethnic Makeup The share of eligible voters who are White has declined since 2006, while the Hispanic and Asian shares have nearly doubled ByMark Hugo Lopez, Dalia Fahmy, Alexandra Cahn and Jeffrey S.

Very thought provoking. My only difference of interpretation: Israel has done a brilliant job against Hezbollah, Iran, the Houthis and has every right to exterminate any member of Hamas. Was leveling Gaza City an effective tactic? Not sure about that. Could they have done better or come up with better options? I suspect so. That doesn't however mean they've committed genocide and Maher is correct on that point. Is Bill right to call out young people and Dems who refuse to

About 8 in 10 Americans take supplements, and many see them as important to their health ByEmma Kikuchi and Brian Kennedy, PEW Research About eight-in-ten U.S. adults say they are currently taking at least one supplement for their health, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. And most people who do this say supplements are at least somewhat important to their health. Vitamins and minerals (such as iron, calcium or multivitamins) are by far the most common supplement.

Dagnabbit. I hate it when the facts ruin a perfectly good story. There's a small chance that Ms. Omar didn't marry her brother. Ok, fine! If you're going to be a nitpicker, there's a good chance. Talk about ruining my day. The claim that U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar married her biological brother centers on her 2009 legal marriage to British citizen Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. While the rumor has circulated widely and led to scrutiny of her personal records, no conclusive evide
