Join Cult of the Living Dead as we plunge headfirst into enchanted forests, primal innocence, and baroque nightmare imagery in Legend. In this episode, The Dale, Cea, and Twan unpack the film's strange cult legacy, tracing the fragile balance between light and darkness as the last unicorns are hunted and the world begins to slide toward eternal winter. Following the forest-dwelling Jack, the curious Princess Lili, and the monstrous ambitions of the Lord of Darkness, we explore how the film drifts between fairy tale purity and gothic horror. We break down Ridley Scott's dreamlike visual design, the film's mythic symbolism of innocence and temptation, and the unforgettable presence of Darkness himself as one of fantasy cinema's most iconic embodiments of evil.

A estrategista de investimentos do BB Private, Erica Santana, CEA, CFP®, analisa os principais fatos da última semana e reflete sobre as expectativas para a semana atual no Brasil e no mundo para te ajudar a tomar as melhores decisões de investimento: "No cenário internacional, a escalada das tensões no Oriente Médio elevou os preços do petróleo e aumentou a volatilidade nos mercados globais, com impactos sobre inflação, juros e rotação setorial nas bolsas. Nos Estados Unidos, os indicadores econômicos seguem mistos, mas ainda compatíveis com atividade em expansão, enquanto o Federal Reserve monitora possíveis repasses de custos. No Brasil, os dados reforçam um cenário de desaceleração da atividade, com crescimento mais moderado e maior sensibilidade da política monetária aos próximos indicadores de inflação. A alta do petróleo traz efeitos ambíguos, ajudando o fiscal, mas aumentando riscos inflacionários. Nos mercados, houve abertura da curva de juros, queda do Ibovespa e maior volatilidade no câmbio."Confira agora o BB Private Highlights.

Join Cult of the Living Dead as we plunge headfirst into mechanical wonder, existential dread, and hand-drawn spectacle in Robot Carnival. In this episode, The Dale, Cea, and Twan unpack the film's cult legacy, tracing a loose procession of animated vignettes that explore humanity's obsession with creation, automation, and self-destruction, from playful clockwork fantasies and melancholic robot romances to catastrophic war machines and godlike engines spiraling out of control. We explore how Robot Carnival assembles a roster of Japan's most inventive animators into a tonal patchwork of comedy, tragedy, awe, and terror, united by the recurring image of robots as both miracles and mistakes. A dazzling anthology of 1980s animation that captures the beauty, hubris, and quiet horror of giving life to things that may ultimately outlive us.

In this piece, I discuss the sexual harassment I experienced at the Centre for Effective Altruism, the organisation's response, the outcomes of two independent legal reviews, and the final settlement. In the second part of this piece, I make cultural critiques of CEA and EA more broadly. Everything shared here reflects my own experience and perspective. I have anonymised the perpetrator, but I reference specific leadership roles where I believe this to be appropriate and necessary. Trigger warnings: non-specific reference of rape and specific discussion of sexual harassment TL;DR (One-page summary) After I was raped (outside of and unrelated to work), a colleague at CEA wrote and circulated a document that included a sexualised description of my rape, speculation about my mental health, and commentary on my personal life, all without my consent. Several senior leaders, including the CEO and the now-former COO, received this document and took no safeguarding action for approximately nine months. I was never officially informed of its existence; I only learned about it informally through one of the recipients. After I filed a harassment report, the incident was independently investigated and determined to be harassment. Despite this, I was denied access to the document [...] ---Outline:(00:47) TL;DR (One-page summary)(03:38) A more detailed account(03:42) The sexual harassment incident(06:42) The investigation(10:38) The appeal and final report(14:02) Public accountability versus internal processes(16:59) The final settlement agreement(18:54) I still think there is a lot of good in effective altruism(20:33) Various cultural reflections(20:50) 1) Sexual harassment is not the natural result of an open and high-trust culture, it is the natural result of misogyny.(22:46) 2) The danger of EAs fixation on intent and why he didnt mean it is not good enough.(24:11) 3) Cowardice and deference at CEA.(26:30) 4) Women in EA are often encouraged to try and settle things informally or to trust their organisations -- another abuse of high-trust culture.(28:45) 5) A harmful misunderstanding of trauma and mitigating vs. aggravating factors.(30:27) 6) I have encountered so many EAs who believe it is easy for victims to speak publicly, or to share their experiences with other community members. And thus, if they arent regularly hearing from victims, harassment must be rare.(33:02) To any women who have faced something similar(34:40) Acknowledgements --- First published: February 27th, 2026 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/XxXnPoGQ2eKsQx3FE/cea-s-response-to-sexual-harassment --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Every teacher deserves to be treated with fairness and respect. On this episode of CEA's podcast Glastonbury Education Association President Kristen Basiaga and 2020 CT Teacher of the Year and Woodland Regional High teacher Meghan Hatch-Geary talk with CEA President Kate Dias and Vice President Joslyn DeLancey about proposals before the legislature that would ensure a fair process for educators. Per Connecticut statute, teachers who are facing termination are entitled to a hearing before a neutral hearing officer, but this officer's decision is only a recommendation to the local board of education. Unlike for other school employees, it is the board of education, not a neutral third party, who makes the final decision in the event of an appeal. For educators, the threat of arbitrary treatment creates a climate of fear that Basiaga and Hatch-Geary say colors the entire teaching environment. Listen to this episode to find out more about why teachers are pushing for legislation that would ensure a fair process and binding arbitration, and join us Saturday, February 28, to share your education priorities with legislators.

Împlinirea a patru ani de la declanșarea invaziei rusești împotriva Ucrainei reprezintă un subiect predilect în presa internațională. Comentatorii semnalează câștigurile minime ale Rusiei, dar știu că Vladimir Putin nu are de gând să se oprească. „După aproape patru ani de război împotriva Ucrainei, Vladimir Putin încă nu a obținut victoria la care spera”, își începe editorialul ziarul Le Monde. „Rezistența ucraineană și mobilizarea occidentală au zădărnicit planurile FSB, care îi promiseseră președintelui o victorie rapidă și ușoară. Deconectat de realitate și izolat după un sfert de secol la putere, liderul de la Kremlin se trezește prins într-un război de uzură, care provoacă ravagii pentru câștiguri teritoriale limitate. Putin spera să profite de revenirea lui Donald Trump la Casa Albă pentru a pecetlui rapid un «acord de pace», cu complicitatea Washingtonului. El rămâne prins în logica sa belicosă, mânat de o căutare existențială a victoriei pentru a-și justifica viziunea istorică și ambițiile militare. O nouă ofensivă pe un alt front european ar fi o evadare irațională, dar nu mai irațională decât tragica sa decizie de a invada Ucraina acum patru ani.” USA Today observă la rândul său că „liderul rus i-a convins pe Trump și pe negociatorii americani, inclusiv pe trimisul prezidențial Steve Witkoff, că dorește să încheie un acord – chiar dacă Moscova lansează rachete și drone asupra orașelor ucrainene. Războiul pe care Trump a jurat în repetate rânduri că îl poate încheia într-o singură zi are acum patru ani”. Pentru First Post, „războiul dintre Rusia și Ucraina a arătat o oglindă a Occidentului, expunând fracturi în credința îndelungată în descurajare, coeziune transatlantică și legitimitatea internaționalismului liberal. De asemenea, a grăbit calea către o ordine mai multipolară în care Sudul Global - și India în special - caută o voce distinctă”. La rândul său, revista Forbes constată că Rusia și Ucraina nu sunt deloc mai aproape de pace, după patru ani de război la scară largă. Timp de peste un an, președintele american Donald Trump și administrația sa au condus negocierile pentru a pune capăt războiului. Aceste eforturi, însă, nu au dus la încetarea războiului. Potrivit analizei publicației ucrainene Kyiv Post, strategia Rusiei nu s-a schimbat: „Ucraina trebuie zdrobită prin uzură în timp ce se agită sabia armelor nucleare. Rusia pariază pe faptul că democrațiile nu au curajul pentru sacrificii prelungite, cu riscul unui război nuclear. Până acum, având în vedere că administrația lui Donald Trump declară „nu este războiul nostru”, pariul lui Putin a dat roade. Publicația spaniolă La Vanguardia, citată de Eurotopics, notează că, din perspectiva europenilor, „Putin nu trebuie lăsat să câștige, deoarece acest lucru ar deschide calea pentru o nouă agresiune rusească. Cea mai mare teamă din capitalele Europei este că presiunea asupra lui Zelenski ar putea produce un fals sfârșit al războiului, după care Putin s-ar putea reînarma și ar putea ataca din nou.”

Part 2: The Blueprint for a High-Performance Grow RoomWelcome to Part 2 of our conversation with Nadia Sabeh, PhD, PE, aka Dr. Greenhouse.In The Blueprint for a High-Performance Grow Room, Mark Doherty picks up where Part 1 : Lights vs. HVAC: The Invisible War Happening Inside Your Canopy left off, focusing on what it truly takes to design a sustainable, high-performance cultivation facility in today's evolving market.They explore why cannabis still lacks a replicable “gold standard” grow room, how over-engineering can quietly drain budgets, and why long-term success depends more on managing costs than chasing higher yields. The conversation introduces a “less is more” economic strategy—arguing that survival in a maturing market depends on reducing costs and optimizing energy use, not just pushing for higher yields or 30%+ THC results. They also dive into designing within real-world constraints—retrofitted spaces, non-standard warehouses—and the importance of integrating lighting, HVAC, irrigation, and controls into one cohesive system rather than isolated parts.This episode is a practical reality check: high-performance grow rooms aren't built on hype or “magic” solutions—but on data, integration, and intentional design.About Nadia Sabeh, aka Dr. GreenhouseDr. Nadia Sabeh works with indoor and greenhouse growers to create the best possible environment for their crop. In 2017, she founded Dr. Greenhouse, Inc., an engineering firm that specializes in the design and operation of HVAC systems that maximize yield and quality, while minimizing costs. She and her team have worked on over 200 controlled environment agriculture (CEA) projects around the world. Her blog and podcast, "The Doctor Is In,” is geared toward growers who seek to advance their knowledge in CEA, climate management, and CEA crop production. She speaks regularly at conferences and events and has authored or interviewed for over 50 articles. Dr. Sabeh discovered CEA as an undergraduate working on a commercial mushroom farm, has a PhD in Agricultural Engineering, and is a licensed Mechanical Engineer in several states.If you'd like to learn more about Dr. Greenhouse, visit them at: www.DoctorGreenhouse.com.About Mark Doherty, Doherty AgMark Doherty is the Vice President of Construction and Facilities Management for Grown Rogue, bringing over 15 years of experience in controlled environment agriculture and commercial cannabis cultivation. Throughout his career, he has led operations and facility development across multiple national brands, including roles as COO at Dual Draft Integrated Airflow, Executive VP at urban-gro, and VP of Facilities Management at Vireo Growth.Through his firm Doherty Agriculture, Mark focuses on turning around underperforming cultivation assets using his signature People, Plants, Profits framework—treating each facility as a living, breathing machine to drive efficiency, consistency, and profitability. He is known for combining deep technical expertise with practical leadership to elevate both the people and the plants behind successful cultivation operations.If you'd like to connect with Mark, please email him at mark.edward.doherty@gmail.com.About TSRgrowTSRgrow's advanced cultivation technology helps growers improve efficiency, consistency, and crop performance.

The Council of Economic Advisors is one of the most prestigious appointments a practicing economist can achieve. Several Nobel Prize winners have chaired the council. Recently, the CEA released a study on the effects of eliminating state income taxes. Not surprisingly, they found that replacing income taxes with consumption taxes would have a myriad of positive effects. Check out the details in this week's Chairman's Report.

Anyone who owns an annuity should listen to what is about to come on next Sundays show..... No Agenda... Olympics - Anything to discuss? MONEY FOR ALL - The average tax refund is 10.9% higher so far this season, compared to about the same point in 2025, according to early filing data from the IRS. - The 2026 tax season opened Jan. 26, and the average refund amount was $2,290 as of Feb. 6, up from $2,065 about one year prior, the IRS reported Friday night. - As of Feb. 6, the total amount refunded was more than $16.9 billion, up 1.9% compared to last year, according to the IRS release. That figure reflects current-year returns only. - This is partly because there were excess-witholdings from last year on the rules changed and paycheck withholdings were not adjusted. This is a one time situation.. Emplyment - 4.3% - "Better" than expected payrolls number - A major revision was released last Wednesday. Overall 2025 job growth was much weaker than initially reported. The total net change for the full year 2025 was revised down from +584,000 jobs to just +181,000 jobs (seasonally adjusted) — an average of only about 15,000 jobs added per month instead of ~49,000. This made 2025 one of the weakest years for job creation in recent non-recession periods. - Employment levels were consistently overstated throughout 2025 by roughly 800,000 to over 1 million jobs, peaking around mid-year. For example: By March 2025, the level was revised down by 898,000. By December 2025 (preliminary), down by 1,029,000. - Monthly changes were also adjusted downward in most cases (e.g., August's originally reported -26,000 became a larger loss of -70,000; September's +108,000 became +76,000). - The revisions reflect normal annual benchmarking, but this one was unusually large (larger than the typical 0.2% average over the prior decade), likely due to factors like overestimation of business births or other data mismatches. - In short, the data reveals that the U.S. labor market in 2025 was significantly softer than the monthly headlines suggested at the time — job growth was overstated by a substantial margin, painting a picture of a much weaker employment picture for the year. AI Updates - While U.S. markets have been focused on the impact of Anthropic and Altruist's tools on software and financial services, China's tech giants have released AI models this week that have shown advancements in robotics and video generation. - Google is reporting that China's AI models are just MONTHS behind western models - However - is this progress? In a video demo, Alibaba showed a robot with pincers for hands that appeared to be able to count oranges, pick them up and place them in a basket. It was also shown taking milk out of a fridge. - Alibaba on Monday unveiled a new artificial intelligence model Qwen 3.5 designed to execute complex tasks independently, with big improvements in performance and cost that the Chinese tech giant claims beat major U.S. rival models on several benchmarks. - Zhipu AI — which trades as Knowledge Atlas Technology in Hong Kong said the model approaches Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.5 in coding benchmarks while surpassing Google's Gemini 3 Pro on some tests. - Shares of MiniMax also jumped Thursday after it launched its updated M2.5 open-source model with enhanced AI agent tools. Grok Update - Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot, has been gaining ground in the U.S. over the past months, data showed, even as it draws global censure and regulatory scrutiny after being used to generate a wave of non-consensual sexualized images of women and minors. - U.S. market share of the tool rose to 17.8% last month from 14% in December, and 1.9% in January 2025, according to data from research firm Apptopia. - Men are still the largest % users of Grok ~ 78% (down from 89% in April 2025) AI Market Share - ChatGPT's share slumped to 52.9% last month from 80.9% in January last year, while Gemini's grew to 29.4% from 17.3% over the same period. AI Market Share InfoGrapic and AI Understanding - Have we gone through this? - At its core, AI is technology that lets machines perform tasks that normally require human intelligence — things like understanding language, recognizing images, making decisions, or solving problems. - Modern AI (especially since ~2022) is dominated by machine learning — systems that learn patterns from huge amounts of data instead of being explicitly programmed rule-by-rule. - Inference is the "using" or "applying" phase of AI — when a trained model takes new input and produces an output / prediction / answer. Contrast with training (the "learning" phase): ------ Training ? Like a student studying for years: very compute-heavy, expensive, done once (or rarely) on massive servers/GPUs, adjusts billions of parameters based on examples. ------ Inference ? Like the student taking a test or doing their job: much faster, cheaper, runs on your phone/laptop/cloud, uses the fixed knowledge from training to respond instantly. - gentic AI takes regular AI (like chat models) to the next level: instead of just answering questions or generating text, these systems act autonomously to achieve goals with minimal human help. "Agentic" comes from "agency" — the ability to make decisions, plan, use tools, take actions, adapt, and even learn from results — like a smart digital employee rather than just a smart answer machine. AI Infographic Last AI Item - A shortage of memory chips is hammering profits, derailing corporate plans, and inflating price tags on various products, with the crunch expected to get worse. - The fundamental reason for the squeeze is the buildout of AI data centers, with companies like Alphabet and OpenAI buying up large shares of memory chip production, leaving consumer electronics producers fighting over a dwindling supply. - The resulting price spikes are causing concern, with some warning of "RAMmageddon" and others predicting that memory chip prices will go "parabolic", bringing lavish profits to some companies but painful prices to the rest of the electronics sector. Here is something: - Gallup will no longer track presidential approval ratings after nearly 90 years - Founded by George Gallup in 1935, the Washington, DC-based management company began tracking the president's job performance 88 years ago. - Gallup told USA TODAY it will no longer publish "favorability ratings of political figures," a decision it said "reflects an evolution in how Gallup focuses its public research and thought leadership." - Gallup said the ratings are now "widely produced, aggregated and interpreted, and no longer represent an area where Gallup can make its most distinctive contribution." - "Our commitment is to long-term, methodologically sound research on issues and conditions that shape people's lives," the company wrote, adding that its work will continue through the Gallup Poll Social Series, the Gallup Quarterly Business Review, the World Poll and more. - Seems like they are unable to SHAPE opinion due to social media etc.....? Apple Podcast Update - Big news! - Apple on Monday announced that it will bring a new integrated video podcast experience to Apple Podcasts this spring. - The move comes as video viewership continues to reshape podcasting. About 37% of people over age 12 watch video podcasts monthly, according to Edison Research. - The update brings Apple Podcasts more in-line with its competitors Spotify, YouTube and now Netflix, which have increasingly leaned into video podcasting. -“Twenty years ago, Apple helped take podcasting mainstream by adding podcasts to iTunes, and more than a decade ago, we introduced the dedicated Apple Podcasts app,” said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Services, in a statement. “ - By bringing a category-leading video experience to Apple Podcasts, we're putting creators in full control of their content and how they build their businesses, while making it easier than ever for audiences to listen to or watch podcasts.” M&A - Texas Instruments Inc. has reached an agreement to buy Silicon Laboratories Inc. for about $7.5 billion, deepening its exposure to several markets for chips. - Silicon Labs investors will receive $231 in cash for each share of the company's common stock and the transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027. - The transaction still needs to win approval by investors in Silicon Labs and shares of Silicon Labs surged by 51% to $206.48 after the announcement. Inflation - This helps - PepsiCo, will cut prices on core brands such as Lay's and Doritos by up to 15% following a consumer backlash against several previous price hikes, the snacks and beverage maker said on Tuesday after it topped fourth-quarter results. Miran - Moving - Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran is leaving his post as chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, CNBC has confirmed. - He joined the CEA in January 2025, but had been on leave from that post since last September when he filled the unexpired term of former Fed Governor Adriana Kugler.- He reamins on Fed board No Biggie???? - There are some astonishing cased being reported of Bad AI in the operating room - JNJ's TruDi Navigation System - Since AI was added to the device, the FDA has received unconfirmed reports of at least 100 malfunctions and adverse events. - At least 10 people were injured between late 2021 and November 2025, according to the reports.

We are Melanie and Anthony, the two community builders at EA Barcelona. In this post, we share where the group stands today and reflect on key learnings from nearly three years of grant-funded community building. We hope these reflections are useful to other community builders, funders, and CEA, particularly around what it realistically takes to build and sustain EA communities over multiple years, from funding stability and feedback loops to the personal sustainability of professional community builders. TL;DR EA Barcelona was funded by the EA Infrastructure Fund between May 2023 and December 2025 (

Ce se va întâmpla în Europa după Conferința de securitate de la München? Comentatorii de pe ambele maluri ale Atlanticului încearcă să găsească răspunsul. Un lucru e clar: schimbarea nu mai poate fi oprită. Euronews vorbește despre „vântul schimbării” , amintind de hitul formației Scorpions din 1990. După 1989, expresia simboliza ”promisiunea unei ordini mondiale unite și liberale”. Astăzi, ”la sfârșitul celei de-a 62-a Conferințe de Securitate de la München, vântul s-a schimbat. Ne lovește direct - și nu mai vine doar din Est. Vine chiar din interiorul Occidentului și zguduie fundațiile structurii noastre de securitate mai mult ca niciodată. Cea mai mare schimbare geopolitică din trecut a fost prăbușirea blocului estic. Cea mai mare schimbare de astăzi este transformarea Occidentului în interiorul său. Citeste siRubio la München: cuvintele frumoase nu ascund realitatea Vântul s-a schimbat - și vine din direcții pe care le-am crezut mult timp sigure. Europa are la dispoziție resurse enorme: putere economică, capital intelectual și experiență diplomatică. Cu toate acestea, acest potențial nu trebuie utilizat doar retoric, ci și în mod real”. De partea sa, Le Monde invocă necesitatea unității europene. ”Observarea unei înstrăinări durabile între Statele Unite și Uniunea Europeană, care a reieșit din discursul lui Marco Rubio rostit sâmbătă în Germania, îi obligă pe europeni să nu mai apară ca divizați. Când administrația americană prezintă o imagine apocaliptică a Uniunii Europene ca pe un cimitir al ambițiilor, identităților și libertăților, UE poate riposta cu acuzații de negare a schimbărilor climatice, respingere a științei, derivă plutocratică și tendințe autoritare. „Civilizația occidentală” pe care Moscova o denigrează, nu mai are aceeași definiție de ambele părți ale Atlanticului, iar europenii nu au absolut niciun motiv să o abandoneze pe a lor”. ”Căsătorie de conveniență” Publicația poloneză Polityka, citată de Eurotopics, vede deja conturarea unui nou curs: ”Atitudinea prietenoasă a reprezentantului de la Washington a fost binevenită, dar fără mari iluzii. Cursul pentru consolidarea capacităților de apărare ale Europei a fost stabilit de mult timp și este acum larg acceptat, deși este implementat cu viteze diferite de către diferiți actori” Dincolo de Ocean, The Wall Street Journal consideră că SUA și Europa ”nu mai sunt suflete pereche și intră într-o căsătorie de conveniență”. Potrivit ziarului, ”provocarea majoră în materie de securitate, văzută dinspre capitalele europene, este reprezentată de războiul Rusiei de subjugare a Ucrainei și de posibilele planuri ale Moscovei asupra statelor baltice și a altor părți ale Uniunii Europene. Președintele Trump, în schimb, a vorbit în repetate rânduri despre Rusia ca despre o sursă de afaceri importante și o posibilă protecție împotriva Chinei. Presiunea exercitată de Trump asupra Ucrainei pentru a accepta un acord de pace în termenii Rusiei și a ceda teritorii necucerite din regiunea Donețk, a fost o sursă de tensiune transatlantică timp de luni de zile. Întrucât Trump îl prezintă pe președintele ucrainean Volodimir Zelenski drept un obstacol în calea păcii, problema ar putea declanșa o altă criză în relațiile transatlantice în următoarele săptămâni, se tem mulți lideri europeni”.
Join Cult of the Living Dead as we plunge headfirst into cosmic nihilism, nerd fantasy, and rotoscope spectacle in Heavy Metal (1981). In this episode, The Dale, Cea, and Twan unpack the film's cult reputation, tracing the corrupting journey of the glowing green evil known as Loc-Nar as it threads together a chain of brutal, sex-charged, and apocalyptic tales across time and space, from doomed astronauts and warrior women to undead bombers. We explore how Heavy Metal collides science fiction, sword-and-sorcery, horror, and rock-and-roll excess into a delirious animated assault on morality, power, and desire. More than four decades later, it endures as one of the most abrasive and confrontational cult animation landmarks of the early 1980s.

Guidance for 2026 was upbeat (~61% revenue growth). Shares rallied sharply initially (~7–11% post-earnings), but gave back some gains amid broader tech volatility (e.g., down ~11–22% in parts of the week from peaks). - AMD: Reported mid-week, beating EPS (~$1.53 vs. lower expectations) with solid data center growth (~39%). However, Q1 guidance disappointed relative to high expectations in the AI chip space. Shares sank dramatically — down ~15–17% the next day, with some reports noting up to 20%+ drops at points, contributing to broader chip sector pressure. - Alphabet (GOOGL/GOOG): Reported beating on revenue (~$113.8B) and EPS (~$2.82), with strong core performance. But capex guidance for 2026 ($175–$185B, roughly double prior levels) sparked AI spending worries. Shares dipped post-earnings (down ~0.5–5% initially, flat to lower the next day, with some volatility pulling it below key moving averages). - Amazon (AMZN): Reported after hours on February 5, with mixed results — EPS ~$1.95 (narrow miss vs. ~$1.97 expected), but solid overall. The big negative was a surprise $200B capex forecast for 2026 (well above expectations), tied to AI/cloud buildout. Shares plunged sharply — down ~7–10% in after-hours/extended trading, with Friday moves around -5–8% in some sessions. Recent Tech CAPEX announcements - Amazon (AMZN) — Guided to approximately $200 billion in capex for 2026 (a massive jump from ~$125–131 billion in 2025, with ~80% likely AI-related per analyst commentary). This was the largest single-company figure and a major surprise, contributing heavily to the week's "wild" reactions. - Alphabet (GOOGL/GOOG) — Guided to $175–185 billion in capex for 2026 (roughly double the $91 billion spent in 2025, far above analyst expectations of ~$115–119 billion). Emphasis was on AI compute capacity, servers, data centers, and networking to meet demand for Gemini and cloud services. - Meta Platforms (META) — Guidance from late January (but heavily discussed last week): $115–135 billion for 2026 (up significantly from ~$70–72 billion in 2025, potentially an ~87% increase). - Microsoft (MSFT) — No new full explicit 2026 guidance in early February (fiscal year runs July–June), but recent quarterly run-rate and analyst projections put it around $97–145 billion (with some sources citing ~$105 billion or higher based on Q2 spending trends and signals of continued growth from prior levels of ~$88 billion in FY2025). ------!!!!Combined 2026 capex projected at $635–665 billion (low/high ends) or up to $650–700 billion in some reports — a ~60–74% increase from their collective ~$381 billion in 2025. Market Reaction from all of this.... - Markets were a bit spooked on the Anthropic announcement earlier in the week - software sold off and set a sour mood - Microsoft dumped pretty hard as the amount of spend was higher than anticipated, especially with some slower growth in Azure. - Amazon took a beating on the increased spend they anticipate *(extra by $50B) - BUT: Friday markets rallied as there was realization that the $200B spend by Amazon would seep into the economy and fuel infrastructure spending along with chips, tech etc. Other Earnings of Interest - Reddit reported fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday in which the social media company beat on the top and bottom lines. - The company said it expects first-quarter sales to come in the range of $595 million to $605 million, which is higher than Wall Street expectations of $577 million. - Reddit also announced a $1 billion share repurchase program. - Reddit gets about $250 million a year from OpenAi and Google to have your data for training their LLMs While we are on the subject - Friday, DJIA hit 50,000 - first time ever! - Up 1,200 point of which approx 350 was from caterpillar and 280 was from Goldman Sachs Hats off to WalMart - Walmart Inc. shares pushed its market capitalization past $1 trillion on Tuesday for the first time ever| - Big transformation over the pst year - Walmart has maintained its appeal to households looking for value, its online offerings are drawing new, wealthier shoppers seeking convenience. Google Bond Offering - Issuing several tranches of bonds, denominated in Stirling - one as long as 100 years - Would you buy that? - The Google parent is set to raise $20 billion from a US dollar bond offering on Monday — more than the $15 billion initially expected — and is also pitching investors on what would be its first ever offerings in Switzerland and the UK. - The latter would include a rare sale of 100-year bonds, the first time a tech company has tried such an offering since the dotcom frenzy of the late 1990s Fat Profits in Dietville - Really interesting sequence of events happening... - Hims launches compounded pill at prices as low as $49 per month - Analysts cite questions on efficacy, legality of pill - Hims' move shifts focus from Novo's strong Wegovy pill launch - Broader obesity market whipsawed as pricing pressure rises THEN.. - Hims and Hers Health shares dive 14% after hours on Friday (Down 25% on Monday) - FDA cites concerns over quality, safety, federal law - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Friday it would take action against telehealth provider Hims & Hers, for its $49 weight-loss pill, including restricting access to the drug's ingredients and referring the company to the Department of Justice for potential violations of federal law.

Analysts expected revenue of $77.62 billion, according to LSEG. - Meanwhile, NOVO had a really bad outlook that took the shares down 13% after the report. Japan Markets Soar - Japanese stocks jumped to a record high Monday, leading gains in the region after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi won a landmark election victory. - The ruling Liberal Democratic Party captured a two-thirds supermajority in the 465-seat lower house, public broadcaster NHK reported. - Japan's Nikkei 225 jumped past 57,000 for the first time before paring gains to close 3.9% higher at 56,363.94, while the Topix also notched a record high, closing at 3,783.94, up 2.3%. Employment Report? - Government shutdown is forcing them to postpone again (Which is dumb) - Number due this Wednesday - Maybe because of this:U.S. employers announced 108,435 layoffs for the month, up 118% from the same period a year ago and 205% from December 2025. The total marked the highest for any January since 2009. - At the same time, companies announced just 5,306 new hires, also the lowest January since 2009, which is when Challenger, Gray & Christmas began tracking such data. - Also, job openings fell sharply in December to 6.54 million, to their lowest since September 2020. - Available jobs are down by more than 900,000 just since October. - NO! Ai and advancements in tech have noting to do with this! NO NO NO M&A - Texas Instruments Inc. has reached an agreement to buy Silicon Laboratories Inc. for about $7.5 billion, deepening its exposure to several markets for chips. - Silicon Labs investors will receive $231 in cash for each share of the company's common stock and the transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027. - The transaction still needs to win approval by investors in Silicon Labs and shares of Silicon Labs surged by 51% to $206.48 after the announcement. Inflation - This helps - PepsiCo (PEP.O), opens new tab will cut prices on core brands such as Lay's and Doritos by up to 15% following a consumer backlash against several previous price hikes, the snacks and beverage maker said on Tuesday after it topped fourth-quarter results.

Join Cult of the Living Dead as we plunge headfirst into the sun-scorched highways, occult bravado, and lawless excess of Álex de la Iglesia's Perdita Durango (1997). In this episode, The Dale, Cea, and Twan unpack the film's feral cult reputation, tracing the violent road trip of Perdita and her unhinged lover Romeo Dolorosa as a botched kidnapping, and a Santería-fueled scheme spirals into ritual murder, borderland chaos, and reckless erotic power games. We explore how Perdita Durango collides crime thriller, dark comedy, and exploitation spectacle into a savage satire of American pop mythology, spiritual grifting, and outlaw romance. Nearly thirty years later, it endures as one of the most abrasive and confrontational cult films of the late 1990s.

Modern founders spend years building toward a hopeful exit or liquidity event. Almost no one talks about what comes after the acquisition.In this episode, Nico Johnson sits down with Andy Klump, founder of Clean Energy Associates (CEA), for a thoughtful conversation about leadership after transition. After fifteen years growing CEA and completing a multi-year earn-out, Andy is in a rare season of pause — stepping back from the CEO seat and reflecting on what actually mattered.Rather than revisiting the early days, Andy shares lessons from leading through change, protecting culture during uncertainty, and recalibrating his identity once the nonstop pace slowed. They discuss why communication cadence matters more than vision statements, how internal Net Promoter Score became a tool for listening, and what founders often underestimate about earn-outs and transitions.This episode is for founders and operators who are scaling fast — or quietly wondering what comes next.Press play.

Join Cult of the Living Dead as we descend into the blood-spattered back alleys and righteous fury of Troy Duffy's The Boondock Saints (1999). In this episode, The Dale, Cea, and Twan unpack the film's cult-born legacy, tracing Irish Catholic brothers Connor and Murphy MacManus as a drunken bar brawl, a mysterious execution, and a whispered blessing from a shadowy figure ignite their violent crusade against Boston's criminal underworld. We explore how The Boondock Saints fuses vigilante fantasy, religious symbolism, and crime swagger into a chaotic morality play about justice, brotherhood, and the seduction of being chosen. More than two decades later, it stands as one of the most divisive and strangely enduring cult films of the late 1990s, a messy, profane, and fervent relic of indie bravado that still dares its audience to cheer for holy violence.
