From the WSJ this morning below. Decided to do a little research with ClaudeAi. It's pretty clear the pandemic and the decision to have kids stay isolated had a critical impact on learning. My take: A number of private schools made arrangements for children to quickly return to class, reducing the impact. A smart move since COVID for the most part had almost a zero mortality rate for kids. Sadly the impact of isolating these kids will be felt for year. Stupid. Last winte

One important factoid. Much of Europe (especially Germany and France) has seen their immigrant population skyrocket. These new transplants are largely refugees from the Syrian War that haven't not integrated well with the locals. On the other hand, Iceland's new friends come largely from Ukraine and Lithuania. Ergo easy to assimilate.

It's official! Dogs are marrying cats. I fully expect New York's new mayor to do the same exceptional job that Chicago's mayor is doing. What Voldemort thinking? I can't process that right now. I need to lie down.

Key points: People holding onto to smartphones longer. India is the largest market for new sales. China still produces the lions share of them. The Smartphone Era Is Ending. Now What? World Population Review Inside the global slowdown—and the tech reshaping life after phones. The smartphone reshaped the world. But now, the momentum is stalling. Sales are slipping. Innovation feels stale. And in many countries, we’ve hit peak device. So what comes after the smartphone? The End

You like that headline? All me baby. I still can bring on the literary heat! Except for EV cars which are kind of a joke*, the whole clean energy space is going nowhere. *Hey I'm sorry. That was insensitive of me. You probably own a Tesla and some high school kids egged your car. Your a little anxious. Clean energy investment hit a new record last quarter, mostly driven by EVs Chart R The expiry of electric vehicle tax credits didn’t just do wonders for the sales figures

What the f-ck. What in the wide world of sports is going on here. Last time I checked, we're not electing a social activist! We're objectifying women by rating how they look in a bikini.

I'm concerned. I hope the Dark Lord will have sufficient capital to retire comfortably when he's done dishing out the hurt.

Here's my take on things. During the golden age of films (1940s & 1950s) there were approx 800 films made per year. This year almost 700,000 films have been produced worldwide. The critical issue driving movies is and has always been good screenplays. There are a finite number of outstanding writers. Are there more today than in the 1940s? Perhaps, may be a factor of 2 (as our population has grown). Enough talent to create tight engaging stories when the number of films has

Yup, all the legacy media outlets (except Fox which is equally leaning right) were giving their anchors free reign before Weiss showed up. No slant on the news. The corporate ownership was totally hands off. Haha. Couric should do us a favor and employ the time testing approach of shutting the f-ck up.

Women’s rights have been broken on the wheel of the trans ideology By Brendan O'Neill, The Spectator November 5, 2025 So there you have it: the feelings of white men matter more than the rights of black lesbians. That’s the takeaway from the mad fracas at a Gold’s Gym in Los Angeles this week, where a female gym-goer by t

Thomas Spritzler announced yesterday that he’s purchased the rights to the Ms Universe Pageant and will be rebranding the event as Ms Earth. “I’m trying very hard to remove the appearance of impropriety.

He confirmed that the pageant will be mc'd by the Dark Lord and is evaluating the inclusion of a gender neutral division. Miss Universe Selection Committee President Becomes Third Judge to Drop

I know what you're thinking. She partied too hard the night before and is not a rocket scientist. Shame on you. It turns out she's an ophthalmologist.

My take: There's nothing wrong with a comedian poking fun or criticizing the Commander and Chief. Unless the joke doesn't land or the comment is an outright lie. Kirk's killer wasn't a MAGA member. Kimmel knew that refused to correct his remarks. Very lame. Whether you like Kirk or not, insulting his family after a shooting not cool. There's zero evidence that Voldemort did anything wrong with Epstein. The Dems had this same info for 4 years and kept it in the holster. Wh

Below from today's WSJ. Hard to believe! Voldemort's done some f-cked up stuff, but nothing worse that putting RFK in a position to f-ck with the FDA and vaccines. The damage he can do to American health is impressive. BTW, do I agree with his ideas about the food chain. Mostly yes. Move him to the Dept of Agriculture. PS. Do I believe Pfizer and Moderna accurately reported some of the serious side effects of the COVID vaccine? Probably not. That doesn't justify attacki
