Is the MAGA media machine actually cracking up, or is it just taking a summer nap? Jared and Mike sift through new data reporting from The New York Times, and a truly staggering amount of cringe, to find out. View counts are dropping, engagement is cratering, and people are getting "the ick" from influencers like Benny Johnson.Amid this MAGA content recession, one unusual newcomer is growing her audience: self-styled "American Sweetheart" Savanna Cannon. First covered in The Bulwark, Cannon is producing racist Instagram content in apparent hopes of converting horny MAGA men into OnlyFans simps who will pay to watch her do anal.MAGA has also taken aim at rap music, claiming without evidence that the genre only succeeded in pop culture because of funding from since-shuttered USAID programs. If not for this secret USAID scheme, they suggest, maybe we'd all be line-dancing to country tunes right now. Imagine that!Links to stories referenced:The MAGA Media Machine Is Fracturing (Stuart A.

attention.Ca: El corrent d'aire era fresc dins de la sala de conferències, oferint un descans del calor d'estiu.En: The air inside the conference hall was fresh, offering a respite from the summer heat.Ca: Núria es preparava mentalment mentre Oriol resplendia a l'escenari.En: Núria was mentally preparing herself while Oriol shone on stage.Ca: La seva presentació va ser perfecta, plena d'imatges

passió de Núria i la seva autenticitat.En: They were drawn to Núria's passion and authenticity.Ca: Al final, la sala va esclatar en aplaudiments encara més forts que per Oriol.En: In the end, the hall erupted in even louder applause than for Oriol.Ca: Quan Núria va sortir de l'escenari, es va sentir alleugerida.En: When Núria left the stage, she felt relieved.Ca: Havia après que confiar en les seves capacitats i intuïcions podia ser igual de poderós que qualsevol presentació perfectament planificada.En: She had learned that trusting in her abilities and instincts could be just as powerful

So as an homage to them, I have this recent article titled 3 AI Infrastructure Stocks That Could Double by 2027 from finance.yahoo.com. It's by Will Healy at fool.com. Here's a bit of what he says in his article. "1. Nvidia (NVDA) trades at a P/E ratio of 31, which is actually less than the S&P 500 average of 32. This has occurred as Nvidia's revenue grew by 85% yearly in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 (ended April 26). When also considering the 211% profit increase for the same period, the earnings multiple would arguably appear low even if Nvidia's stock price were to double. 2. CoreWeave (CRWV) As one of the leading neocloud companies, CoreWeave has drawn increased attention. Amid the potential for massive stock gains, huge losses and rapidly rising debt levels have soured some investors on this company… CoreWeave has Nvidia as an investor and a partner. That gives the company capital and access to Nvidia's latest technology, giving CoreWeave a competitive advantage. 3. Meta Platforms (META) Facebook parent Meta Platforms is in the process of transitioning into more of an AI-oriented enterprise. The company pledged to spend between $125 billion and $145 billion in capital expenditures (capex), most of which will probably go to building more AI infrastructure… Indeed, the 26% forecasted revenue increase for 2026 is a slowdown from Q1. Nonetheless, that would put downward pressure on an already low P/E ratio if the stock price stayed the same. Moreover, if Meta's AI inspired more confidence, its current valuation indicates the stock price could double without making Meta an expensive stock."

Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro Ep 3 Recap Watch the podcast on YouTube! Put on your dancing shoes because Matt Liguori and Sasha Joseph are here every week to break down Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro. Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro rolls into episode 3, guided by hosts Matt Liguori and Sasha Joseph as they break down a week full of group challenges, reality TV-worthy drama, and an unexpected medevac. This round brings a shift from solo performances to teamwork under the mentorship of pro Brit Stewart, with contestants pushed to master fast choreography, navigate clashing personalities, and cope with sudden setbacks. Amid rising tension, the pressure reveals who thrives in chaos and who begins to crack under the glare of the ballroom lights. The show episode sees pros-in-training split into two teams, throwing Nina, Tristan, and others into a real-time test of leadership and collaboration. The injury and removal of Natalie from the competition casts a shadow over the rhythm of the week, yet sharpens the spotlight on team dynamics and communication breakdowns, especially between Nina and Selena. Matt and Sasha discuss how these moments expose the growing pains of becoming a DWTS pro—balancing star power with humility and the ability to support a partner on stage. Matt breaks down the implications of Natalie's injury, analyzing how group numbers and a medevac shape the episode's stakes and structure. Sasha takes a close look at the escalating tension and communication struggles between Nina and Selena, raising questions about teamwork and likability in pro dancers. The hosts debate Val Chmerkovskiy's sharp comments about AJ, comparing industry expectations, confidence, and what separates arrogance from leadership potential. They dissect the pros' approaches to group choreography, spotlighting Brit Stewart's tough but supportive mentorship style and its effect on both team morale and performance quality. Tristan's emotional reaction to feedback and the fallout from team rehearsals open a conversation about resilience, self-doubt, and the ability to recover under pressure. As the competition narrows and personalities clash, questions linger: Can Nina manage her confidence to become a team player, and will Tristan bounce back or continue to struggle under the spotlight? With chemistry week and steamy partnerships on the horizon, the stage is set for even more intense challenges. Catch the full discussion for analysis of behind-the-scenes strategy, cast dynamics, and predictions for which dancer might seize the coveted DWTS pro spot.
