HOAX! Biggest scam in modern history, and you probably missed this HUGE story, as the Main Stream Media (low information folk) will not embellish on what they pounded into everyone's heads, especially children in school from 2000-2025.
NOT AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT — Global Warming
Nearly lost my job/career from yet another lie, perpetrated by those who are agenda-driven.

I mean, Real Estate has a higher P/E

T at Apollo: Fed data show the US consumer is less K-shaped than perceived:
• Nominal spending growth has been a similar ~4-5% YoY across all income groups since 2024.
• Household net worth is up substantially across the board since 2019—including ~80% for the bottom 20%.

连马斯克都承认，未来自己大概率会被AI瞬间拿下。
不是靠武力，是纯粹靠说服力。
在超级智能面前，人类的心智可能一回合就会被击穿。
连他自己都不保证能扛住。
谁信？
机器发几段话，就能把受过专业训练的人给绕进去？
是真的。
而且根本不用等未来，这件事今天就已经发生了。
战场就在每天写代码的屏幕前。
大批一线软件工程师，早就悄悄交出了防线。
模型修完一个程序漏洞，顺手附带了一段技术解释。
工程师扫了一眼，觉得这段解释听起来完全合逻辑。
到底有没有暗坑还没细看，手指已经按下了代码合并键。
超级智能碾压人类，需要硬碰硬吗？
根本不需要。
马斯克还在对未来的心智沦陷严阵以待。
而现实里的工程师，早就败给了一句"听着挺对"。

BREAKING: Catastrophic flash flood strikes Nepal, again.
Homes, buildings and bridges completely swept away.
The images and video coming out of the Country are hard to watch.
Fun fact: The U.S. has about 75% of the world’s tornadoes; they can happen elsewhere. @MikeZaccardi

Sound up!
Incredible video from a viewer fishing about 50 miles offshore in the Gulf. They were about 10 miles from a thunderstorm when they heard clicking and saw blue electrical arcs coming from the boat’s metal rod holders. They were even getting shocked touching the metal.
That’s St. Elmo’s Fire — a corona discharge caused by a strong electric field around the storm.
It’s fascinating to see and hear, but also a warning: the atmosphere is highly electrically charged. On a boat, that’s not something you want to hang around and watch. At all.
They did the right thing and headed back in at max speed and away from the thunderstorm!📷Scott Gilligan #Florida

🧵 4 years ago this afternoon, Florida was brought to its knees by the most devastating storm to strike the state since 1935.
This is the story of CATEGORY 5 Hurricane Ian, as it happened in late September of 2022.

GS: We estimate that hyperscaler capex is driving roughly half of S&P 500 earnings growth this year.
As hyperscaler capex growth slows and depreciation expenses rise, the impact of AI investment spending on S&P 500 earnings growth will begin to fade and eventually become a drag.

A lot of people are asking - Is this a hurricane?
No. This is a powerful nor’easter.
The biggest difference is how they get their energy. Hurricanes are fueled primarily by warm tropical ocean water and have warm cores.
Nor’easters are fueled primarily by strong temperature contrasts, fronts and upper-level dynamics.
But “not a hurricane” does NOT mean “not dangerous.”
A strong nor’easter can still produce tropical storm to hurricane-force wind gusts, damaging coastal storm surge, and significant flash flooding.
Sandy had already transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone before making landfall in New Jersey, and we all know how destructive its impacts were.
For this storm, coastal New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts are the areas I’m watching especially closely, with flooding concerns extending farther into New England.
Know what the storm is, understand the hazards, and take it seriously, but don’t panic. Stay updated and weather aware.

Right now, there are 250 people on Socorro Island, Mexico staring down at the 175 MPH (280 kph) fury of Hurricane Polo to their southeast.
The good news here is that the storm is going to curve around the western side of this remote volcanic island, keeping the catastrophic eyewall offshore and avoiding a landfall. Heavy rain, winds, and surf should be the extent of the impacts.
