Concerns about Big Tech's capex plans are ballooning in tandem with these companies' spending ambitions. Key question for today's reports from MSFT & GOOG: what's the bar in markets for enough revenue/earnings to justify this increase in spend. A great chart from @drbcurtis.

A quick reminder of the beauty of circular financing.... I doubt there has ever been this level of dependence in the US market, as we're seeing among the AI companies today. Bloomberg does a great job with this chart.

BREAKING NEWS! The engineer who built Claude Code from scratch just released a 28-minute video that's pure gold: how to write prompts that deliver ridiculously good results. I've seen $300 courses that don't even come close to what he explains in the first 10 minutes. CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, and prompting patterns that almost no one uses... All in one single video. Completely free. No fluff. Whether you're a developer, just starting, or have already been using Claude for months, this changes the game for you starting today. Save. Watch. Share.

Rector Paul De Sutter, who goes by 'Petra' nowadays (shielding him from criticism), is an insult to science itself. He hates real scientists and truth. Paul even denies the existence of binary biological sex. When I had a debate with him on national television about transgenderism, he lost badly and tried to get me kicked out of university out of spite. Paul, leading member of the far-left Green Party, is also extremely incompetent. During his four year tenure as minister responsible for state companies, our two biggest state companies Bpost (postal services) and Proximus (telecom services) lost respectively 80% and 65% of their market value. Paul did not only commit plagiarism himself, he is also is guilty of everything he accuses others of. In 2024, days before the election, he accused me of having stalked and threatened a minor 'trans boy' (= girl). This was a complete and utter lie, but in collaboration with the media, the lie ran for days, influencing the election outcome. After I filed a complaint with police for defamation, Paul quietly retracted his statements, but never corrected them. That's how much of a coward he is. In any case, he should go to jail for deliberately, wrongfully accusing a political opponent of a heinous crime. Paul's university, Ghent University, illegally kicked me out as a student and as a member of the Board of Governors because I exposed their war on truth. I went to court and won, but as a response to my victory, they launched a barrage of lawfare suits on taxpayers money, and even though I won most, they forced me to pay endless legal fees in a battle of attrition. This is only a small fraction of the criminal and despicable behaviour of the clique running Ghent University. This is the scum that is now kicking @nathancofnas out because he did what EVERY scientist should have done: expose lies and spread truth.

Yes. Ghent University rector Petra De Sutter used generative AI (reported as a chatbot like ChatGPT) to help prepare her September 2025 inaugural speech. It contained multiple fabricated quotes attributed to Einstein, Hans Jonas and Paul Verhaeghe—classic AI hallucinations. The university confirmed the errors from AI editing, corrected the online text twice with a disclaimer, and she publicly regretted falling into the trap.

FIFA have released POV footage from the referee's body camera during the World Cup final between Argentina and Spain. Absolutely insane footage. 😳📹

The US housing market is in for a wild ride. As rates rise to new highs, the average interest rate on a 30Y Mortgage is nearing 7%. In other words, if you bought a home in 2021 at 3% interest, moving to a new home today would increase your rate by ~400 basis points. Assuming you buy a $500,000 home with 20% down: 1. Monthly Payment at 3% Interest: $1,686/mo 2. Monthly Payment at 7% Interest: $2,661/mo That's an increase of almost $1,000/mo, or +58%. The already stagnant housing market is set to freeze.
The bond market situation is crazy. While everyone focuses on AI, US borrowing rates just hit the highest level since June 2007. Credit card "serious delinquencies" are at the highest since 2010 and mortgage rates could near 8%. What's happening? Let us explain. (a thread)

Most people think Amsterdam floats on water. It doesn't. The city stands on millions of wooden piles driven through soft peat and clay into stable sand, some reaching 20 meters deep. Kept underwater and deprived of oxygen, the timber resists decay and has supported the city for centuries. Every canal house, bridge, and historic street rests on these hidden foundations. Amsterdam isn't built on land. It's built on stilts. 🇳🇱

🇺🇸Trump has stated 106 times that he defeated Iran. 🇺🇸Trump has stated 95 times that Iran is destroyed. 🇺🇸Trump has stated 88 times that a deal is imminent. 🇺🇸Trump has stated 75 times that the Strait of Hormuz is open. Fact: This serial liar has achieved nothing yet. He is just playing with the stock market. Elect a clown, expect a circus.
