From Business Insider - Oracle's $38 billion loan closed, but those who have bought into the various loans around OpenAI's data centers can't sell off the debt without taking a loss - and the pool of investors who still have an appetite for their debt has shrunk.

Basically agree, though it's also important to understand your risk tolerance and your objectives to make sure they don't conflict significantly.
Control what you can and ride out the rest.

"Dumb," you mean like up and to the right? Millions of Americans have gotten wealthier in the last 10-15 years. no matter who was POTUS.
I can't emphasize enough how important it is to separate your politics from your portfolio. It is CRITICAL to building wealth in markets.

It’s been one blunder after another during the early days of the Tony Dokoupil era at ‘CBS Evening News.’ From night one, the broadcast has been marred by technical mess-ups, bizarre attempts to suck up to the Trump administration, and low-key humiliation by President Trump.

All I hear when people say "if you're not constantly furious at the news, you don't care" is "if you're not overwhelming your nervous system to the point of exhaustion, you're doing it wrong".

Big: Wyoming supreme court just struck down abortion ban.
And get this: The reason is a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare!
Quite the backfire. We explained this lawsuit a few years back:

![Put more simply, Congress’s job is “[p]assin’ laws and juggling bills” that could authorize the sort of investigation the government wants to do here; the Executive Branch is “here to see that the laws get done.” Schoolhouse Rock!: Three-Ring Government (ABC television broadcast Mar. 13, 1979), http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKSGyiT-o3o. Proper “law enforcement” by the Department of Justice, then, requires a “law” justifying its actions. The short of it is that “the government ought to turn square corners when dealing with its citizens.” Howbert v. Penrose, 38 F.2d 577, 581 (10th Cir. 1930). Congress has made no law authorizing an investigation of gender-affirming care, let alone one aimed at ending such care. Such an investigation, then, is no faithful execution of any law. Indeed, Colorado law makes such care legal, and “an investigation predicated solely upon legal activity does not pass muster under any standard.” Major League Baseball, 331 F.3d at 1188. The Executive Branch cannot engage in new lawmaking on its own and, thus, until and unless Congress creates a statute](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreif4blabnvcavytvlx2pqp5iqbdaxavskf7br53ilt3cfciungeahy@jpeg)

I wouldn't be quite so hardcore...NTP is a great service; accurate clocks are actually an important cybersecurity control (ensuring accurate logging)...but I don't like it when an OS provider requires you to open up an account with them just to get your system up and running. That *should* not be.
I miss when the OS was a self-contained tool rather than an internet service. We had to manually configure the date and time, which was a small trade off in exchange for the independence.

In Denver, if a deal by Nexstar to take over Tegna goes through, the staggering result would be Fox31 replacing 9NEWS. That would mean an outlet little known for its watchdog reporting would subsume a leader in accountability journalism on commercial TV.

In an age where AI slop websites have made entire categories of information difficult to find, what we need is Yahoo (or Dmoz): a human-curated list of reliable websites, organized by topic.
