Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Noam Chomsky’s emails to Jeffrey Epstein display none of the fawning chatter found from, say, Larry Summers. And he does not appear to have been co-opted by whatever access Epstein provided.

What the Noam Chomsky–Jeffrey Epstein E-mails Tell Us
Chomsky has often suffered fools, knaves, and criminals too lightly. Epstein was one of them. But that doesn’t mean Chomsky was part of the “Epstein class.”

No, there is not "insatiable demand for AI compute." 75% of AI compute is bought by Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, OpenAI or NVIDIA - the company selling the GPUs. If demand were real, NVIDIA wouldn't have to buy $5-6bn of AI compute every year for the next 3 years.

Every accusation is an confession; the Trump admin says they’ll “re-review” 230,000 refugees who came under Biden in case they weren’t truly refugees, while also ordering the State Department to declare that white South Africans automatically meet the definition of refugees.
Some news on Trump's doling out of most refugee slots to white South Africans: Two former State Department officials tell us basic protocols designed to determine whether this group actually merits protection have simply been scrapped. It's just whim.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

It's younger than the first Spider-Man movie.
It's ridiculously out of touch to treat "abolish ICE" as untouchable. This stuff is wildly unpopular! People hate them! It's an irredeemably rotten institutional culture of thuggery and criminality. Cutting this malignant tumor out altogether isn't just right on principle, it's a winning message.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.
