Quentin Tarantino recounts seeing his first blaxploitation film with an all-Black audience at nine years old. The movie was Jim Brown’s “Black Gunn,” and the experience changed his life forever… “During this time, my mother was dating a football player named Reggie. So in an effort to score points with her, Reggie asked to hang out with me. Being a football player, he asked her, "Does he like football?" She told him “No, he likes movies.” Well, as luck would have it, so did Reggie. And apparently, he saw every blaxploitation flick that came out. So late one Saturday afternoon, Reggie, who I had never met before, dropped by the apartment, picked me up and took me to the movies. He took me to a part of town I had never been before. I had been to the big movie theater districts in Hollywood and Westwood, but this place was different. This theater row had huge cinemas on both sides of the street, which went down for about eight blocks. I realized when I got older, Reggie took me to the theater district in downtown Los Angeles, located on Broadway Boulevard. All of them were blaxploitation films. Films I had never seen, the new movie on Broadway, having opened just last Wednesday, was Blaxploitation superstar Jim Brown's new motion picture, "Black Gunn." I had seen the TV spots a lot that week, and it looked really exciting. I even remember the radio spot proclaiming, "Jim Brown was gonna get the mother who killed his brother." Well, "Black Gunn" was definitely the movie Reggie wanted to see. One being the connoisseur that he apparently was, it was the only one of the movies playing he hadn't seen. Also, it was pretty fucking obvious he dugged Jim Brown. This thing, the Saturday night showing of the brand new Jim Brown movie, the huge auditorium, I mean, it was probably 1400 seats, wasn't exactly packed, but it was definitely busy and buzzing with anticipation. My little face was the only white one in the audience. This was to be my first movie in a, except for me, all black movie theater in a black neighborhood. This was 1972. Then, on a downtown Saturday night, Jim Brown's new movie, "Black Gun," began flickering through the film projector shutter gate for an extremely excited audience of about 850 black folks, 800 of them male. And frankly, I've never been the same. To one degree or another, I've spent my entire life since both attending movies and making them, trying to recreate the experience of watching a brand new Jim Brown film on a Saturday night in a black cinema in 1972. There was no comparison. When Jim Brown sat behind his desk and Bruce Glover, Crispin’s father, and his other white gangster henchmen threatened him, and Gunn hits a button under the desk and a sawed off shotgun dropped in his lap (see below), the massive theater full of black males cheered in a way the nine-year-old me had never experienced in a movie theater before. At the time, living with a single mother, it was probably the most masculine experience I'd ever been part of. And when the movie ended with a freeze frame of Jim Brown as Gunn, the guy behind Reggie made me proclaimed out loud, "Now that's a movie about a bad motherfucker!" Sadly, after that night, I never saw Reggie again, and to this day I have no idea what happened to him." From Quentin Tarantino’s book Cinema Speculation

100% BLACK OWNED PREMIUM Pre Owned Dealership, AVARI, Menlyn IN Pretoria. It's not about tenders it's about entrepreneurs and only way 🇿🇦can grow Is if we have more South African black entrepreneurs like this. Thembinkosi Pantsi’s journey is the epitome of resilience. Born in rural Eastern Cape, his passion for cars was clear early in . In 2000, he began studying mechanical engineering but had to drop out due to financial struggles. He worked at a restaurant cleaning toilets and washing dishes, but his dream of owning a car dealership never wavered. Over the years, he held various jobs before a major breakthrough in 2012. At just 31, he became Dealer Principal at Volvo in Pretoria, driving sales growth by 37% in two years. Still, his dream was to own a dealership. Thembinkosi approached multiple government institutions meant to support black businesses, but every single one turned him down. He persisted, gaining more experience in the industry, eventually becoming Dealer Principal at Audi Sandton—the biggest Audi dealership in South Africa. I am actually shocked that institutions like NEF did not fund him. Who do they give their money too if they don't give it to honest hard working black people with a resume one can only dream off. In 2020, his big break came. With funding from a private equity firm, Avari Cars was born. A roaring success upon launch, the 100% black-owned premium dealership made waves in South Africa. However, shortly after opening the dealership Thembinkosi left to take time off and re-work the funding model. Also Covid. After returning to Audi and achieving more success, the issues were resolved, and Thembinkosi came back to Avari as MD and Co-founder. Thembinkosi appreciates the opportunity given to him by the Private Equity Firm and they are set to take the business to the next level… I cannot find a single 100% black owned dealership in South Africa like Avari. Today, Avari Premium Pre-Owned Dealership in Menlyn is thriving again. It stands as a testament to the power of perseverance and the potential of black entrepreneurship in South Africa. Politicians talk about supporting black businesses, talk, talk, talk. Lekotlas. All types of meetings but nothing comes off it. Tembinkosi is not going to bribe these institutions to get a loan. That's not how he works. Ethical and morals. Actions speak louder than words. Politicians talk but when genuine business want support they never help. Let’s support 100% black-owned businesses like Avari Cars. Exciting to note that they are moving to bigger premises nearly double the size. Just imagine having a 100% lack owned car dealership in all major towns. We wish Tembinkosi and his team all the success. I have to repeat this,for SA to succeed and get the majority black African population you have to create entrepreneurs. Today they will be small.tomorrow they will be giants.

🎥 【A Kitasan Black Son Who Doesn’t Look the Part – and That’s the Whole Point】 Sol Oriens has joined the stallion roster at Breeders Stallion Station. His signature performance, of course, was the 2023 Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas), run on rain-affected, very unusual ground. He came from well off the pace and mowed them all down in one sweeping run. It was a spectacular victory achieved while he still looked physically immature, the kind of win that made you expect much more to come. Sadly, that turned out to be the last time he ever got his head in front. Chronic issues in his back and loin area surfaced, and from that point on he was never able to show his true potential. For a horse who always looked like a late bloomer, it’s a real shame we never got to see his genuine peak. His dam Skia is a mare steeped in European blood. She won the Prix Fille de l’Air (G3), and her progeny have been high-class too: Vin de Garde, for instance, finished second and third in the Dubai Turf (G1). Physically, Sol Oriens is a small horse who looks nothing like his sire, Kitasan Black, at all – and to me, that is exactly where his value lies. The conventional way of thinking is that if a colt is good enough to become a stallion, then resembling his sire is a positive. That may be true for the first generation – but by the time you get to the grandchildren, it’s not necessarily a good thing. Out of roughly 8,000 foals in a crop, only a tiny handful will ever win a G1. As a group, those few are biological “outliers” rather than the norm. Soon we’ll be living in a world with Kitasan Black blood everywhere. Horses that “look like Kitasan Black” will no longer be individuals; they’ll be a type. In that kind of environment, which horses actually break through the ceiling? Kitasan Black himself is an outstanding stallion, but to surpass him you need to reach a dimension beyond what he alone can provide. To go beyond Kitasan Black, you don’t just need Kitasan Black – you need the power of the dam side as well. That’s one of the reasons I think the maternal pedigree is so crucial when evaluating a stallion. Sol Oriens, a Kitasan Black son who doesn’t resemble his sire and still managed to win a Classic, is almost a living proof of concept for “creating a horse that can surpass the father” and “forging an ultimate individuality – in other words, a G1 winner.” What makes Sol Oriens truly unique is the fact that he carries five separate lines of Tudor Minstrel on his dam’s side. Tudor Minstrel was a small, low-withers horse, but over a mile and below he was untouchable – he crushed the 2000 Guineas by eight lengths and ranks among the greatest three-year-old milers in history. He was a completely different type from Kitasan Black. Tudor Minstrel’s third dam is Lady Josephine, a mare I’ve cited many times. Lady Josephine stands behind the speed revolution in modern racing: she’s in the background of Northern Dancer, Mr. Prospector, Sunday Silence and other lines that reshaped the breed. This female line produced monsters like Mahmoud, Fair Trial, Nasrullah and Royal Charger. Even the famed Sunday Silence × Lyphard nick involves Fair Trial, which shows you how central Lady Josephine is as a speed influence. On top of that, Tudor Minstrel himself is bred on a 3×2 cross of the near-relatives Selene and Sansovino, with the great Hyperion – another cornerstone of European stamina – naturally present as well. When you realize that Sol Oriens has five lines of Tudor Minstrel packed into his dam’s side, he starts to look even more intriguing. He hasn’t been admitted to Shadai Stallion Station, so he’s unlikely to receive the absolute maximum level of support, and it will be difficult for him to rank among the very top sires by earnings. Even so, if he’s given enough backing, I genuinely believe it’s entirely possible that somewhere down his line, a true superstar will emerge.

I wrote a rap for Thalaivar today morning and let AI compose.. dedicated to his 50 years of domaninace. A man who stands tall... from black white to the age of AI Lyrics: From the dust to the gold, from the ground to the throne, From the dark to the spark, now the whole world knows! One man, one force, never bent, never broke, Superstar hustle - Thalaivar's smoke! No crown, no bloodline, just a will to rise No godfather, no script, just fire in his eyes. No pops, no moms, big bro raised him up, Walked the same streets, man, life was tough. Coolie in the heat, lifting sack by sack, Bus doors slam, man, he rode alone. Hands full of dust, sweat dripped to the ground, Every job, every struggle, still he never backed down. They say fate is blind, but it saw him right, One man stepped in, said, "Kid, take flight." "Yo, you a star, time to pack and go!" Took a train to the dream, left the past so cold. From the dust to the gold, from the ground to the throne From the dark to the spark, now the whole world knows! force, One man, one never bent, never broke, Superstar hustl - Thalaivar's smoke! He came in silent, but man, the world got loud, From villains to heroes, he shook up the crowd. "My way is my way!" - He walked that talk, Didn't need a crew, he made his own block. "Only pigs roll in groups, a tiger stands tall!" Now his name alone makes the theaters fall. One look, one word, yeah, that's all it takes, Rajini speaks? Man, the whole earth shakes! A hundred stepped up, said they better than him But fate just shhhh... then reminded em again They come, they go, they try, they fade, But Rajini's name? Man, it never decays! They don't cheer for the films, they cheer for the man, It's the heart, it's the wisdom, it's the love that he spans! No scandals, no fakes, just truth in his hands, That's why millions still scream out his brand! Yeah, he missed the polls, but the miss ain't his, It's ours, man, a good man's government? Still a wish. They said, "He's old, he's out," but watch him stand, Legends don't fade, they just expand! If the world turns if they hate or refuse, got one thing to say - he ain't got much to lose! He got me, he got us, through the highs and the lows, Through the rise, through the fall, through the fame and the blows! From the dust to the.... Our love knows no limits

Dave Chappelle’s story is one of the rawest examples of what happens when a black genius gets too powerful for the machine to handle—and how he clawed his way out on top. Back in 2003, Chappelle’s Show hit Comedy Central and changed everything. Those sketches—Rick James, Clayton Bigsby, the Racial Draft—weren’t just hilarious; they cut straight through America’s bullshit on race and power. The show blew up, pulling millions of viewers and raking in hundreds of millions from DVDs and reruns. Dave was thirty, suddenly the sharpest voice in comedy. But the deal he’d signed early on gave him almost nothing on the back end. Comedy Central—and its parent Viacom, run by the Redstone family—kept the real money. Dave watched his work get bootlegged and monetized while he got crumbs. Then Season 3 rolled around in 2005. During filming, something felt off. One sketch had a Black character in a pixie costume, and a white executive was laughing a little too hard, in a way that made Dave’s skin crawl. He started telling people privately, “They’re trying to make me wear a dress.” In Hollywood, that’s code for forcing Black men into emasculating roles to diminish their threat—think of the patterns with Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, or countless others. The pressure built. They dangled a $50 million deal for two more seasons. Insane money on paper, but Dave could smell the trap: even less control, more ways to twist his voice into something that served the system instead of exposing it. So he did what almost nobody does—he walked away. Dropped the $50 million, got on a plane, and vanished to South Africa. Stayed on a farm in Durban with a Muslim friend, took a breath, and reflected. The media went feral: “Chappelle’s having a breakdown,” “crack addiction,” “mental health crisis.” Same smear playbook they use on anyone who says no—Kanye, Katt Williams, you name it. Label them crazy, bury the real story. While he was gone, Comedy Central took the unfinished Season 3 footage, slapped it together as “The Lost Episodes,” and aired it anyway. Hosted by Charlie Murphy and Donnell Rawlings, no Dave in sight. They still made bank off his genius, sending a clear message: We own your art even if you run. For years after, Hollywood painted him as difficult, unstable, the guy who “blew” $50 million. Doors quietly closed. No big specials, no major movies. Dave went underground—small clubs, quiet tours—rebuilding on his own terms. Then, around 2016-2017, Netflix came knocking. This time Dave negotiated like a boss: massive paydays—reportedly $20 million per special—full creative control, real ownership. His comeback specials dropped and hit harder than ever. He talked openly about the “dress” incident, the industry’s traps for Black artists, the way they try to break you. In *Sticks & Stones*, he shredded cancel culture. In *The Closer*, he took on the trans debate and refused to bend. The outrage machine came for him full force—walkouts, petitions, headlines screaming “transphobe.” Didn’t matter. Arenas sold out, Grammys won, legacy cemented. And the sweetest part? In 2022, after years of the show being pulled from streaming (Dave had publicly asked platforms not to run it until he got paid fairly), HBO Max finally caved. They cut him a proper check, and Chappelle’s Show came back—with Dave in control. Fast-forward to right now, December 2025: Dave just surprise-dropped his newest Netflix special, The Unstoppable recorded live in his hometown Washington, D.C. back in October. In it, he dives fearless into the chaos of the year—Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Puff Daddy’s downfall, the Riyadh comedy fest backlash, National Guard deployments, free speech crackdowns, and wraps with an epic 30-minute closer weaving American history from Jack Johnson to Nipsey Hussle. Bold truths, no holds barred, and as unstoppable as ever.

In *The Closer*, he took on the trans debate and refused to bend. The outrage machine came for him full force—walkouts, petitions, headlines screaming “transphobe.” Didn’t matter. Arenas sold out, Grammys won, legacy cemented. And the sweetest part? In 2022, after years of the show being pulled from streaming (Dave had publicly asked platforms not to run it until he got paid fairly), HBO Max finally caved. They cut him a proper check, and Chappelle’s Show came back—with Dave in control. Fast-forward to right now, December 2025: Dave just surprise-dropped his newest Netflix special, The Unstoppable recorded live in his hometown Washington, D.C. back in October. In it, he dives fearless into the chaos of the year—Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Puff Daddy’s downfall, the Riyadh comedy fest backlash, National Guard deployments, free speech crackdowns, and wraps with an epic 30-minute closer weaving American history from Jack Johnson to Nipsey Hussle. Bold truths, no holds barred, and as unstoppable as ever.

The main thought I want to express toward Charlie and the Kirk family right now is gratitude. The last time I saw Charlie in person was a couple of weeks ago at headquarters. At the time, I was on the phone with a client. Unable to talk, I said hello with my eyes, widening them a bit in his direction, he nodded and slapped me on the back as I walked past. I wished I was able to say “thank you.” I was never able to thank Charlie for everything he did for me before he was called home to God. I first met Charlie in 2017 at Politicon in Pasadena. Less than a year later I would be working out of his headquarters that was in the midst of construction as a digital contractor. I’ve got to participate in a lot of cool things because of Charlie, from helping TPUSA put together Black Leadership Summits at the White House to helping manage his Chase The Vote program. Whenever Charlie saw me he would go out of his way to acknowledge me, he’s thanked me for serving on his projects countless times. I should have been the one thanking him. My career took off when I moved to Arizona to be a part of his operation. I ended up meeting my wife in Arizona. Not many people know but when Project Veritas imploded and I faced uncertainty after resigning to stand by O’Keefe, Charlie paid my salary for 3 pay periods. When I guest hosted a show on OANN last year, Charlie was one the first big name guest to agree to give me interview. In that episode, he spoke about me in a manner that I should have been speaking about him. He was the best among us, and that’s why God called him home. Before I allow my grief and celebration of Charlie’s life to transform into anger and action. I wanted to very publicly say thank you to Charlie. It was an honor to have known you and called you a friend, and for you to have called me a “patriot.” Thank you for sharing your faith with us and for leaving behind so much of your wisdom to digest. Your death will not be in vain.

Jim Jarmusch on how he got the idea to make "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999): "It really came about from wanting to work with Forest Whitaker, who I met when I was going to the Super-8 lab when I was working on 'Year of the Horse' (1997), or maybe on the video. I ran into him a couple of times and we would just start talking and he said to me the first time, "Hey, if you ever think of anything for me, let me know, I'd love to work with you." I couldn't get him out of my head, certain qualities that he has and it was more from talking to him as a person than his work. I was very, very moved by his portrayal of Charlie Parker in 'Bird' (1988). I thought it was a beautiful performance, although I'm a big be-bop fan and I did not like the movie in terms of its slant on depicting the life of Bird - how can you make a film about Bird in which Miles Davis is never even mentioned? There were a lot of things really odd to me about it. Miles' estate probably refused to let him use his name. With good reason. They usually use this very soft, gentle, poignant side of Forest and he gets cast as the loveable soft guy. And I'm really attracted to that quality, but there is a whole other side to him, just physically, his presence, there's more there than that and I wanted to get both of those things in a character. So I started thinking how can I do that? He should be a warrior and I thought he should be a hitman, that sort of cliché and then the samurai thing came to me because in eastern-culture warriors, there is a whole spiritual side to their training. If you look at the Shaolin monks in China, they're martial arts experts, but they are priests; they are enlightened religious teachers, but the physical side is also completely intertwined. So that gave me the idea to give him some depth. Then the book 'Hugga Kurai', because it's a text from the 1750s written by an old samurai as a guide to samurai life and philosophy. It contains so many things, minor, mundane details about the food you eat, or how your house is built, how often you clean your armour, to incredibly deep Zen philosophy, and it's all in this book and it jumps from one to the next. Then I just started collecting disparate ideas; I was interested in the decline of organised crime families in New York because I used to live right across from the Gambino family social club in Little Italy, and in the late 70s and early 80s when they were unravelling, and I would always see them on the street - John Gotti and Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano and Neil Belacroche and all those wise guys. So I collected some ideas about them, and the idea of pigeons came from the fact that on the roof behind me, there was an old Italian guy who had a pigeon coop for years. He died just before we started filming actually, and his birds were moved away, but I used to watch him fly his birds a lot and there was something very beautiful in that movement. Sometimes I'd just look out the window on a Saturday morning and see them moving, and the light would shift and they would go from black to white to black to white to black to white, and that was a detail. I would just collect and collect, and then I sat down and tried to weave all these disparate things into something." ("Jim Jarmusch - part three", The Guardian, 2000) P.S: On this day, 27 years ago, "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

This is a bigger problem than anti-semiteism, as the intelligent black man says, niggerism is what’s causing society to turn away from a civilization. About 71% of the founding fathers were slave owners. That is not to say all black people are bad obviously, He is a great example of what society needs to be healthy. He clearly points out the problem because he knows the problem after dealing with it. You can tell with how some people talk or type. What music they like. It’s brain rot, you can blame it on the music industry but that’s not it. No it’s not the Jewish producers or music, even though most music is Muslim and push for Allah… It’s the people who accept this culture and make it part of their lifestyle. Civilization is collapsing because of small things that add up to become a bigger problem. Well fuck the white man and English, we gon lear ar way out dis bih. Bumpin BIG HITTAH by Kevin Gates. Anyways we got the chains on our neck and then nice whips to make us move!!!! Regardless of who is fucking who, or who is influencing what, people still absorb this brain rot. There is a reason black women go to twerking like it’s a habit, you aren’t just born twerking… There is also a reason why birth rates are much higher, of course no father because it’s a culture of just popping them out. That’s why abortions are so important, they have murdered 1/3 of Gen Z, close to a hundred million humans gone. Everything is anti civilization. Not only that but everyone is allowed to have their own community, lift up each other except white people now. Most of “them” hate white people. White history month instantly turns into slavery. Nope can’t have it. Want to only shop for white business owners? Nope that’s racist but check out black Wall Street promoted by places like chase bank, etc… wow look at this Indian only / Muslim only community, nope not allowed that’s segregation but they are just not whites. A hot white girl will never be safe to go for a walk in the ghetto / hood, but always feel much safer in a nice white neighborhood. It’s called black business and you need to stay out of it whitey. Don’t like it? Too bad you owe us reparations. Make no mistake, they will never give up on reparations, and once they get them the United States is lost for good. The only way out is to offer them reparations to leave. They openly want to destroy the white population over time. Exactly the same as Muslims who brag about having more kids and in time already won because there will be a majority of Muslims. So sit there and cry Jews but the blacks will go to Islam and Jews won’t even be allowed in the USA, by that time the whites are gone too. This is not some secret plan, they openly say it all the time. Antisemitism is such a big deal, at least Trump tried to start one for anti-Christian, but that’s not good enough. The best scenario is fund reparations to be deportations. Then fund white families. Other cultures kick out people who aren’t like them, the melting pot is a fraudulent idea. The melting pot is boiling and the pot is now some molten liquid metal mess.

BBC NEWS REPORTERS' SELF-HUMILIATION The movement away from the Tiananmen Square hoax has become a stampede. * Wikipedia now admits the "massacre" never happened * Mainstream media this year almost entirely ignored the "anniversary" * A new study suggests some of the public knows it was a hoax * And reports that diplomats still believe in it don't stand up. * ALSO in this video we share two hilarious examples of BBC reporters being defensive about things they wrote – that now everyone now knows they were not telling the truth. . WESTERN 'BLACK OP' For people who didn't see our earlier report, here's a two-sentence recap: Original sources from the west show that three western groups, the US, the UK, and Australia, in June 1989 pushed a piece of fiction, signed by former British Ambassador Alan Donald, that 10,000 peacefully protesting students were killed with machine guns and crushed by tanks in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. It formed the basis of reporting on the topic for years – but journalists, diplomats, and increasingly members of the public, gradually realized it was pure fiction—created as a 'black op' by Five Eyes agents from the US, Britain and Australia. . 1. Wikipedia. Although some mysterious, anonymous Wikipedia editor will not allow the word "massacre" to be removed from the title, the text itself now describes the Alan Donald fiction, debunked by all verified witnesses, including Alan Donald himself, as a "disputed cable", and admits that "In 2011, three secret cables from the United States embassy in Beijing agreed there was no bloodshed inside Tiananmen Square." . 2. Journalists Most mainstream journalists now know that incident never happened—we can tell, because they almost all ignored the annual ritual of recycling the debunked story this year. Instead, most of the reports this year came from known propaganda groups such as Radio Free Asia (CIA-founded) and China Digital Times (a NED operation). One exception I saw this year was Reuters, which this week printed a story that echoes the Alan Donald document. Shame on Reuters. . 3. The public. The public is starting to get it, too. A recent survey by popular left-leaning US commentator Matthew John of This American Left saw 85 per cent of respondents reporting that they knew the massacre didn't happen, with only 15 per cent supporting the "black op" narrative of students being killed in the square. Obviously that's a limited survey of people who follow him—but we cannot use big surveys because there are none. The big media who normally commission surveys are not going to pay for a study which proves that they have spent decades telling the world about something that never happened. Picture the headline: "A new study shows that we have been lying to you for decades about China." So, it's better for the media to take the coward's way out, and fudge the facts or just drop the story. Helen Davidson of the Guardian this year fudged the facts, by saying that hundreds or thousands of people were killed in the streets outside Tiananmen Square—whereas in fact most deaths happened five kilometers away. Sorry, Helen. . SHERLOCK HOLMES Still, as Sherlock Holmes pointed out, sometimes the fact that a dog is not barking is actually the biggest clue of all. So the omission of the massacre story is now the real story. Like the fictitious "Uyghur Genocide", Matthew John says, "the story of the blood-drenched Beijing square has been quietly abandoned by the Western press and its bourgeois backers". Western politicians and journalist still use the tale to demonize China "even after removing the central element, the fictional June 4 massacre", John says. . PLUS MORE Watch the video for more interesting information, including a tale of two named BBC reporters who had to go into super-defensive mode (from 6m45s in the video).

Bitch, I do not play about eighth grade star aka opinions based girl….. yeah everybody’s laughing now, but it literally does not take away the fact that you are so fucking ugly like I had his ass blocked on my old account before I even saw this because every time he pops up on my for you page I just have to scroll because he’s so fucking ugly that it pisses me off he looks like he could be casted on Netflix and not in a good way. He seriously needs to find a new haircut because what the fuck is that middle part? and of course he’s a Nepo baby, and the best part is I just found out that he used to be fat, I bet he’s an anorexic asf lowkey all shade and that’s the only way his pathetic ass could lose weight and I know he didn’t use laxatives cause he’s definitely a bottom, the type that one bitch from White Lotus would say as a fem and NOT a butch. You can tell he wants to be Matthew from big mouth but he’s more of a Charlie from heartstopper, you can also tell that he’s never got his ass beat, well maybe once in middle school and then his white ass republican parents freaked the fuck out and got the kid suspended or some shit. Of course he’s obsessed with Diet Coke, he’s so obviously wants to be a white woman that it is embarrassing. Middle schoolers definitely go up to him and be like “oh my God you’re famous on TikTok” and he thinks he’s the shit but the rest of the population don’t give a fuck and the way his mom is a teacher…… I know that she probably yells at the fucking class for everything but really she’s just taking it out on these kids because she knows deep down that she wishes her son was like them instead of a fucking loser who makes strawberry bagels on TikTok not to mention everybody praised him for doing angel tree, bitch that’s nothing he probably just used some of his allowance money to look like a good person so y’all bitches would suck his dick. Omg in all of his fucking videos he tries to sound cute with that feminine ass voice and it gives me a secondhand embarrassment down. he thinks he’s Troye Sivan, but he will never admit that he probably listens to fucking country music and Taylor Swift so he can fit in with all of his Christian girl friends and that’s it. You can tell he peaked in high school. He was definitely the “token gay” and the homophobic straight boys loved him because he was “funny“ but it was all surface level, TikTok humor that seems funny to them. of course he reposted something about drinking on antidepressants. Just because you had a white claw and some lexapro(which explains why he used to be fat as fuck) doesn’t make you whatever a fucking vibe you’re trying to go for. He looks like he jerks off to the Lululemon maternity catalog while pretending he’s Harry Styles. I saw on TikTok that he has a girlfriend and I can’t tell if it’s just for attention or if he’s actually still dl so that his parents don’t freak the fuck out on him and he has to get a real job. This one girl posted him on TikTok, shaking his hips and drinking wine…… like who do you think you fucking are bro? like genuinely who the fuck do you think you are?🔑 he also reposted a TikTok about Lorde “looking a mess” I really don’t give a fuck if it was a joke. You have no place to be talking about somebody’s looks when he looks like that……. and y’all know what I mean, the type of guy who fucks all the dl in the room because he has zero confidence. The type of guy who has all the latest Apple products for no reason. I mean seriously he looks like he eats fucking rocks. Apparently he caused a lot of drama on TikTok (of course) and blamed his OCD like what kind of dumb ass excuse is that but then again he probably asked his mom what to say and then she sent him a script and he went with it. Somebody keeps on copying his videos and it’s pissing him off. I think it’s so hilarious…… you realize you’re just another copy and paste of every other wanna be “ influencer”. Don’t ever try coming for eighth grade start again.🔑🔑

Tom Cruise told an interviewer in 1986 that box office success was "gravy." That interview was filmed while promoting "Top Gun", one of the highest-grossing films of that decade. He was 23 years old. The interviewer asked Cruise how important the film's success was to him. He answered without hesitation: "When you spend 10 months making a movie, the result is not as important as what you're going through. I do not choose a film looking for a result; I look for what I am going to get from the piece, what I can communicate, and what I am going to learn about myself as an actor. Does it challenge me? The result, essentially, is gravy." This was not a man hedging his bets after a flop. "Top Gun" was already forming into something audiences would respond to. He knew it. And he still said this. What's remarkable about the interview is how clearly Cruise understood what he was building, even at that stage. He spent 10 months on the film, embedded with real Navy aviators, and came away with a specific view of who these men were. When the interviewer asked if the pilots were "kind of crazy," Cruise pushed back: "No, they're very sound. There is that cockiness when you get into it, but it's a thing of being sure of themselves. They're extremely bright and confident. You've got to know every nut and bolt in that aircraft. When you go up there every day, you are risking your life." He then added something that rarely gets quoted: "But there's a compassion and a love of flight." That detail mattered to him. Because Maverick was never supposed to be a weapon. Cruise was explicit about the intention behind the character: "The important thing when I got involved is I wasn't interested in making a war picture, which this could have easily turned out to be. I wanted the character... What is it that makes this guy tick? There was an absolute effort not to make a Rambo or an Iron Eagle." 1986 was peak Cold War cinema. Rambo: First Blood Part II had come out the year before. "Iron Eagle" released the same year as *Top Gun*. The market was saturated with a specific kind of American military fantasy, and Cruise was actively steering away from it. That choice is a big part of why the film still holds up. The interview also touches on his time with Paul Newman on "The Color of Money", directed by Scorsese. Cruise described Newman as "a man who is still striving, learning about himself, and growing as an actor and a person." And then he said something that reads almost like a personal mantra: "Seeing that as a young artist makes you feel good, that it's an endless struggle." Source: KCRA Entertainment Archives

Raquel Welch on the terrible experience she had while filming 'One Million Years B.C' (1966) & the "Political agenda" of the feminists towards sex symbols like her: "Since the ’60s, sexy girls always seem to end up in sci-fi features; and they’re still doing it. Look at Jessica Alba and Megan Fox. Since I was still unproven at the time, I was hoping that Fox would groom me for more challenging roles. But as fate would have it, the studio had a completely different plan for me. My first starring role was to be in a dinosaur epic called 'One Million Years B.C' (1966). Fox’s studio head, Dick Zanuck, called to tell me that I would be playing the part of Loana in this remake of the 1940 caveman classic. Although I thanked him for my “big break,” all I could think was, A dinosaur movie? You've got to be kidding me! I figured my performance would disappear without a trace. (...) When that famous photo [poster of the movie] was snapped on location, my little ones were miles away, playing by the hotel pool with their nanny at the bottom of a mountain, while Mom was atop a smoking volcano . . . and it was snowing! In fact, it was soooo cold that the entire crew was bundled up in nice cozy parkas. Even the cameras froze. So they hung pots of hot coals underneath the camera boxes, to keep the motors warm. But nobody seemed to care about my motor. Why didn’t I have a parka? “Cave girls don’t have parkas,” I was told. Not surprisingly, I came down with a severe case of tonsillitis. It was so not how I had pictured it. On the first day of shooting, I went straight up to the director, Don Chaffey, and said quite seriously, “Listen Don, I’ve been studying the script, and I was thinking .. .” He turned to me in amazement and said, “You were thinking? Don’t.” Then he said, “You see that rock over there?” I was all ears. “That’s Rock A. When I call action, you start running all the way over to Rock B, which is over there. When you get about midway between the two, pretend you see a giant turtle coming over that hill. You scream... and we break for lunch. Got it?” I got it all right. He was just the first in a long line of producers and directors who didn’t give a rat's ass what I thought. For years I felt like the Rodney Dangerfield of sex symbols. I got no respect. I'm glad those days are over. But I was wrong about the dinosaur movie; it wasn't a leap into obscurity. By the time we wrapped and I boarded a flight for London, unbeknownst to me, my life was already changing. When I stepped off the plane in Heathrow Airport, I was greeted by a swarm of press and paparazzi. What was the deal? No one could be more surprised by this than I was! Suddenly, I had become famous! I had to pinch myself. Was it really happening? It was a once- in-a-lifetime break for me and my kids. So Mommy became the reigning sex symbol of the swingin’ ’60s and ’70s, at the height of the sexual revolution—with one hitch." A sex symbol in the Age of Flower Children didn’t sit very well with the hardline feminists of the time. They dismissed me as nothing more than a sex object. They didn’t look beyond the poster image to see what I was made of. It felt like a slap, until I realized that official feminism had a political agenda that is not inclusive of all women. It’s only for those who fit a criterion, which does not include a bikini. So be it."" ('Raquel-Beyond the Cleavage', 2010)

Scottie Scheffler was asked ahead of the Masters if he’s surprised himself with how quickly he became the best player in the world and not only did he give a great answer, but he also explained why pathways are so important: “I mean, that's a good question. I think it's a hard one to answer. I always had faith and belief in myself, but I didn't -- I never told myself I want to win these tournaments. I always just had what I feel like were dreams and aspirations, and I feel like I had the talent to be able to accomplish certain things. “I never really kind of thought this far ahead. I dreamed of having a chance to win the Masters tournament, and I'm fortunate to have been able to have done that twice. Did I imagine that? I imagined myself winning, and I was hopeful I could accomplish that, but I didn't set out, when I came off the Korn Ferry Tour, you know what, I'm going to get to No. 1 in the world. I'm going to win this many majors. I'm going to win this many tournaments. “It was more taking it a step at a time. My manager was a big part of that as I turned pro. When I turned pro, I kind of went through all the steps. I tried some Monday qualifiers for the Korn Ferry Tour. I played some mini tour events to stay sharp. I went through Q-School, went through Korn Ferry Tour, and then I got out on the PGA Tour. Everything for me was step by step. “The year I played on the Korn Ferry Tour, I had some opportunities to come out here and play on the PGA Tour, but my manager and I kind of spoke about just being -- you can only be on the Tour where you're at, and our goal that year was to continue to play good golf, focus on the Korn Ferry Tour, develop, get better, and then get ready for the PGA Tour. “We just kind of took everything step by step, so I never really looked that far ahead, to be honest with you.” Scottie Scheffler’s rise to the top happened fast but he had to work his way up from the bottom tiers of professional golf. He turned pro in 2018 after graduating and played Monday Qualifiers for the Korn Ferry Tour, he then earned a card via Q School for 2019. That year he was Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year and earned a PGA Tour card for the 2019/20 season where he was rookie of the year. He then made his Ryder Cup debut in 2021, beating the then world number 1 Jon Rahm in the singles. That gave him the confidence to go on and win 3 times in early 2022 to overtake Jon and become world number 1 himself. He then won the 2022 Masters by 3 shots over Rory McIlroy becoming just the 5th player in history to don the green jacket as the best player in the world and he’s never looked back. Since the start of 2022 Scottie has won 25 times worldwide, including 4 majors, an Olympic gold medal and won The Players twice. He’s 3 legs towards the Career Grand Slam and looking to win his 3rd Masters title this week. He also has 16 top 10s in the 22 majors he’s played since 2020. Truly astonishing. Scottie Scheffler is already one of the best players of all time and at every major championship he plays he is chasing more history. The Masters

Warren Buffett on why he buys "terrible" businesses: A shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's exposure to the housing market through businesses like Shaw, Acme Brick, Johns Manville, and HomeServices, and what he sees coming over the next decade. Buffett didn't sugarcoat the present: "Well, the immediate situation is it's terrible. It's been flatlined now for a long time and it affects Shaw. It affects Acme Brick. It affects Johns Manville. Affects our home services operation and there has been no bounce at all." But then he revealed why that doesn't bother him. Berkshire had just bought the largest brick operation in Alabama, a state Buffett notes "uses more brick per capita than any state in the union," right in the middle of a market with virtually no buyers. "We wrote a check for cash and we like improving our position." His reasoning comes down to a simple long-term view: "This country over time will build houses at a rate that overall in total commensurate with household growth. And I think we're going to see plenty of household growth in future decades. And I think that our companies are well positioned to make significant money when we get to a normalized level of home building." Buffett admitted he had no idea when the turn would come. He thought it might happen by year end, but added: "I don't think anybody knows the answer on that." That uncertainty wasn't the point. The point was the price he paid for what the business would earn over decades. Charlie Munger cut to the heart of it: "Well, one advantage of buying these very cyclical businesses is a lot of people don't like them. And what difference does it make to us if the earnings average say 300 million a year, if it comes in in a very lumpy fashion? In the big scheme of things, what do we care if it's lumpy? As long as it's a good business and we have an advantage on that stuff. Nobody else was bidding for a brick plant in Alabama with no customers." Buffett then offered a comparison that reframes how to think about lumpy earnings entirely. See's Candy, he pointed out, loses money roughly eight months of the year: "Now it just so happens we know the seasonal pattern. So we don't worry in July that somehow Christmas won't come. We've got a couple thousand years on our side." His conclusion on cyclical businesses: "If you take the next 20 years, there will be three or four terrible years for residential housing and there'll be a lot of them that are pretty good and there'll be a few that are terrific. And I don't know the order in which they're going to appear, but I know if I can buy the assets cheap enough to participate in those 20 years that we'll do okay over that time."

🚨 ANDREW TATE ARRESTED IN MIAMI: UK CPS JUST AUTHORIZED A WAVE OF NEW CHARGES But This Is What Happens When One Man Becomes Too Powerful Exposing the Left’s Lies Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested July 18 in Miami by US Marshals on a UK extradition warrant. The Crown Prosecution Service just announced they’re prosecuting additional charges on top of the existing ones — including seven more counts of rape for Andrew, multiple new trafficking facilitation counts, assaults, and 19 charges involving indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. Alleged offences dating back years, now involving seven claimed victims. The brothers deny every single allegation and have always maintained they are innocent. No convictions. This is the latest chapter in a years-long legal war. But it didn’t come from nowhere. It came because Andrew Tate became one of the most powerful voices on the planet by telling young men the truth the left never wanted them to hear. Born in 1986 in Washington DC to a legendary chess master father and British mother, raised in the UK, Tate first made his name as a multiple-time world kickboxing champion. He exploded into public view on Big Brother UK in 2016 before a video surfaced (which he has always said was consensual adult activity). That’s when the real empire began. He built his power the old-fashioned way — through raw, unapologetic content that cut straight through the noise. Luxury cars, private jets, cigars, discipline, and brutal honesty about masculinity, money, and modern society. He launched Hustler’s University (now The Real World) and The War Room, teaching men how to escape wage slavery, build wealth online, get in shape, and stop being simps. Tens of thousands joined. Billions of views followed. Even after Big Tech banned him from almost every platform for “hate speech,” the clips spread everywhere. When Elon Musk bought X and reinstated him, his reach went nuclear. Why did the left come after him so hard? Because Tate was against everything they push. He called modern feminism a cancer that destroys families and turns women into victims while emasculating men. He said men and women are different by nature — men lead, protect, and provide; women nurture the home and family. He told young men to reject degeneracy, build themselves into high-value men, and stop apologizing for being masculine. He called out the Matrix — the system of lies that keeps people weak, broke, and obedient. He supported Trump, criticized globalists, and said the West is dying because it abandoned tradition, God, and real manhood. Millions of lost young men listened, got in the gym, started businesses, and woke up. That kind of influence terrifies the establishment. And then there was Romania. In 2017 Tate and his brother moved to Bucharest and built their life and businesses there. He was blunt about why: the West, especially the UK, had become a feminist hellhole where any woman could destroy a man’s life with an accusation at any time. In a now-deleted video he said this was “probably 40% of the reason” he left — “I’m not a fucking rapist, but I like the idea of just being able to do what I want. I like being free.” He praised Romania as more based and traditional, with stronger morality, less woke brainwashing, and a system that didn’t automatically side with accusers to destroy men. He said the West had turned men into slaves to political correctness and false claims while Romania still had real freedom for a man to live on his terms. He built his empire there while continuing to red-pill the world. That’s real power. Not bought with donations or handed out by elites — earned by speaking directly to what millions of young men felt but were told never to say.

🚨 ANDREW TATE ARRESTED IN MIAMI: UK CPS JUST AUTHORIZED A WAVE OF NEW CHARGES But This Is What Happens When One Man Becomes Too Powerful Exposing the Left’s Lies Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested July 18 in Miami by US Marshals on a UK extradition warrant. The Crown Prosecution Service just announced they’re prosecuting additional charges on top of the existing ones — including seven more counts of rape for Andrew, multiple new trafficking facilitation counts, assaults, and 19 charges involving indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. Alleged offences dating back years, now involving seven claimed victims. The brothers deny every single allegation and have always maintained they are innocent. No convictions. This is the latest chapter in a years-long legal war. But it didn’t come from nowhere. It came because Andrew Tate became one of the most powerful voices on the planet by telling young men the truth the left never wanted them to hear. Born in 1986 in Washington DC to a legendary chess master father and British mother, raised in the UK, Tate first made his name as a multiple-time world kickboxing champion. He exploded into public view on Big Brother UK in 2016 before a video surfaced (which he has always said was consensual adult activity). That’s when the real empire began. He built his power the old-fashioned way — through raw, unapologetic content that cut straight through the noise. Luxury cars, private jets, cigars, discipline, and brutal honesty about masculinity, money, and modern society. He launched Hustler’s University (now The Real World) and The War Room, teaching men how to escape wage slavery, build wealth online, get in shape, and stop being simps. Tens of thousands joined. Billions of views followed. Even after Big Tech banned him from almost every platform for “hate speech,” the clips spread everywhere. When Elon Musk bought X and reinstated him, his reach went nuclear. Why did the left come after him so hard? Because Tate was against everything they push. He called modern feminism a cancer that destroys families and turns women into victims while emasculating men. He said men and women are different by nature — men lead, protect, and provide; women nurture the home and family. He told young men to reject degeneracy, build themselves into high-value men, and stop apologizing for being masculine. He called out the Matrix — the system of lies that keeps people weak, broke, and obedient. He supported Trump, criticized globalists, and said the West is dying because it abandoned tradition, God, and real manhood. Millions of lost young men listened, got in the gym, started businesses, and woke up. That kind of influence terrifies the establishment. And then there was Romania. In 2017 Tate and his brother moved to Bucharest and built their life and businesses there. He was blunt about why: the West, especially the UK, had become a feminist hellhole where any woman could destroy a man’s life with an accusation at any time. In a now-deleted video he said this was “probably 40% of the reason” he left — “I’m not a fucking rapist, but I like the idea of just being able to do what I want. I like being free.” He praised Romania as more based and traditional, with stronger morality, less woke brainwashing, and a system that didn’t automatically side with accusers to destroy men. He said the West had turned men into slaves to political correctness and false claims while Romania still had real freedom for a man to live on his terms. He built his empire there while continuing to red-pill the world. That’s real power. Not bought with donations or handed out by elites — earned by speaking directly to what millions of young men felt but were told never to say.

The failure of Barack Obama. People hoped the nation’s first black president would be the guy to make a difference. That he’d be the guy to lead a Martin Luther King charge against the three triplets of economic strangleholds: Racism. Materialism. Economic InJustice. But Obama’s mission was never racial or economic justice, that was hologram Obama. Flawless. Generous. Magical. The grand orator who could sell water by the river to snakes. Americans fantasized that he’d spend his days out of office working with vibrant young black people —in a similar way that Jimmy Carter worked to devotedly build houses for Habitat for Humanity. Instead, Obama has spent his post-presidency hanging out on multi-million dollar yachts with Clooney in the Ligurian Riviera, a coastal region in Liguria, stretching along the Mediterranean Sea from the French border to Tuscany. And in Martha’s Vineyard, languishing in the company of Wall Street and Netflix billionaires… hauling in BIG money as the Clintons have— under the guise of narcissism and philanthropy. It’s time we stop pretending. Wall Street was/is Obama’s comfort zone, NOT main street. So here he is lecturing America on the values of life and the less important value in life: money. It’s breathtakingly hypocritical. And no one pretends better than Barack Hussein Obama. The bottom line is that Obama never really sees himself as part of the super-rich, no matter how big his pile gets. And the Obama’s pile is HUGE. In his $500,000 + speeches, Barack spins colorful yarns that paint himself as an ageless community organizer with a common “racism” theme. People hang on his every word. The “I’m just like you” black presidential hero in the speeches has come to save the downtrodden… to inspire and touch the hearts of the broken, the addicted, the welfare kings and queens, unfairly mired in a tornado of perpetual economic distress due to .Democrats habit of slinging money at problems, then abandoning minorities until the next election. The speeches are peppered with jabs at well-heeled billionaires, the same ones the Obama’s hang out with when the speeches are over. Speaking of gauche and unfair: In 2019, the ‘laughing all the way to the bank’ Barack Obama reportedly raked in $600,000 for a single speech in Bogotá, Colombia as part of an EXMA conference focused on marketing strategies. How much money is enough? Obama once asked a captivated audience. In 2025, the Obamas have now amassed an estimated $70-$90 million fortune. And that’s just what they’re admitting to and what the price is willing to print. Turns out, Obama, the alleged igniter of a treasonous Russia hoax against his successor oer .DNI Tulsi Gabbard , is not an economic justice and MLK equal rights hero at all. He’s clever and ambitious. Behind the shield of a staccato fake southern accent and the faux outrage bluster, first and foremost: Barack Obama is a deceiver. The popular, pompous, and thin skinned orator’s Hope and Change ruse was/is a fantasy. Barack the man who walked on water for eight years and said all the right words—peppered with just enough pregnant pauses to inflict guilt, while the press knelt seaside and wept. Barack was often portrayed as a saint, positioned in just the right way behind residential seals to create the illusion of a sainted halo—by design The 44th president of the United States was presented as a man who, quite simply, was too good to be true. We should’ve been prepared for his inevitable pedestal fall. The high-paid speeches were a megaphone blast that Obama’s post-presidency would, like his presidency was, be hot air and Democratic business as usual. And that means not radically altering the racial injustices of American economics. Instead, Obama is following the Clinton’s example: huffing, puffing, pontificating and lecturing his way around the world, lecturing lesser mortals… and quietly looting the taxpayers for all he can get.

Tuesday - Louis CK Louie is 58 now but moves like he's 85. He's got the darkest thickest under-eye bags I've ever seen, they're even apparent from below. He will not make it to 70 and if he does he will be so physically repulsive he won't even have to tell jokes any more — which is a shame because in my opinion he's the greatest living stand up by far. I am sick and tired of pretending there's any competition in this genre. This was the THIRD time I had heard him do this set, which barely cracks his top ten hours, and I was laughing my ass off the entire time. EVEN WITH THIS LOUD DRUNK BITCH BESIDE ME.. it made me realize how formulaic Shane Gillis and every other big up-and-comer feels in comparison right now, like they're all rolling off a conveyor belt at the comedy factory where you take a PREMISE, add a PUNCHLINE, and a CALL BACK, with THREE TAGS, and mechanically deploy this stuff over and over with no real through-line or heart in it at all. Louie is relentlessly personal and so his sets evolve with him. I saw him for the first time last year in Indianapolis, and was "severely disappointed." He seemed stilted, nervous, coasting on absurdist buzzword shit tailored for drunken simpletons. He'd say "Vagina" with no context and these hicks would lose their minds. I drove 4 hours to see him that day and couldn’t believe how empty his material was. Jokes that could’ve been written by anybody. There was one prick of personal truth — when he talked about putting his Dad away in a Home. He's been writing about his absentee father his whole life. It’s obviously a great source of anxiety and frustration. So it's no surprise that he leaned in to that thread, sharpened it over the course of the tour, and now the whole set circles around this theme of aging: "All my fat friends are dead. If you have a friend that's older than 50 you should say goodbye." Says big tall egg-shaped Louie, who looks like two Carlins combined. My date was way too drunk to appreciate the occasion. We were in front row seats at the Hollywood Bowl. She bought them for us at dinner, 1 hour before. Different Asian girl from Monday. She had never been to a stand up show in her life, and so she didn't really "get" comedy, and she wouldn't stop fucking talking. Pulling her phone out and texting God knows who. The security guy whose job it was to prevent me from climbing on stage and whipping my cock out had to reprimand her: "Please put your phone away" in the middle of the set. I could not believe it. We're here in the front row beneath the GOAT and he's KILLING, in a stadium of 20,000, and you're texting on your god damn phone? Who? Who could it be? It was a homeless guy from reddit. Not me, a different homeless guy. At one point she actually asked if she could step out and do some blow. I said are you kidding? There's like 10 minutes left, just shut the fuck up and enjoy it. I'm starting to worry that females can't appreciate stand up like I can. Overall rating: 9/10. He’s probably gonna die soon but for now he’s still got it. Mark Normand tonight, Dave Chappelle Thursday, Mulaney Friday.

Apple just made every tech giant that went all in on AI look like clowns. For 12 months straight, Apple was the "biggest loser" of the AI era. Its AI team kept losing people. Its Siri overhaul kept getting delayed. And every headline said the same thing: Apple missed the biggest technology shift in a generation. But turns out, the OPPOSITE is actually the case... Apple passed Nvidia to briefly become the most valuable company on Earth again, worth around $4.88 trillion. Apple is up nearly 23% this year. Nvidia is up just 7.3%. Apple is now the best performer in the entire Mag 7. And when you look at why, it's almost funny. Apple won by REFUSING to spend the money everyone said it had to spend. Look at what the rest of Big Tech committed to the AI buildout this year: - Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft are spending more than $665 billion combined - Apple is spending about $13.5 billion - That is nearly 50x less than its rivals For a year, that gap was "proof" that Apple had fumbled it. Then the AI trade broke, and the company with no giant AI bill suddenly looked like the smartest one in the room. Apple never took on the risk. It never borrowed the billions to build data centers, and it never had to promise Wall Street that all that spending would pay off later. So when the trade cracked this week, Apple had nothing to crack. It still runs on iPhones and a services business that keeps setting records, not on a bet about AI revenue that has not shown up yet. And the crack itself was real: A Chinese startup called Moonshot dropped a new model that rivals the best from OpenAI and Anthropic, and it messed up the whole market in a single day. Investors are already calling it a Kimi moment, a rerun of the DeepSeek shock that hit these same stocks last year. The Philadelphia semiconductor index fell into a bear market, down 20% from its June peak. The Nasdaq 100 had its worst week in almost a month. Microsoft is now down 20% on the year, its worst stretch since 2022. Every company that went all in on the buildout got hit. Apple, the one that sat it out, is the company that came out on top. Why does this matter? Because for two years the entire market ran on one belief: Spend the most on AI or get left behind. The companies that spent $665 billion were called visionaries. The company that spent $13.5 billion was called a dinosaur. This week the market briefly went the other way. HSBC just upgraded Apple and lifted its price target to $366 from $260. Money that was chasing chips is now hiding in the one megacap with almost no exposure to the thing that just blew up. And the doubts are reaching the top now too: Societe Generale's head of US equity strategy warned this week that the biggest AI spenders are still burning cash so fast that investors are openly asking whether the spending ever pays off. What happens next: Nobody knows if this holds. Apple could lose the top spot again by Monday, and the AI bulls will tell you the buildout always looks reckless right before it pays off. But something bigger happened this week... For one day, the market stopped rewarding the biggest spender and started rewarding the one that kept its wallet shut. If that keeps happening, every board that bet the company on AI has a real problem. And the company that got mocked for doing the least became the safest place to hide from the trade it skipped. What do you think?

This Chinese developer linked two $2,999 NVIDIA DGX Sparks into one box and runs the full Qwen3-235B at home, after dropping his $1,999-a-month cloud bill to zero. He wired 2 small boxes into a single computer, split a giant 235-billion-parameter model in half between them, and serves it across his own network at about 10 tokens a second, with no internet, no cloud, right there on the desk. No data center, no thousand-dollar graphics cards, no monthly cloud bill. Just him, 2 gold boxes the size of a sandwich, one cable between them, and 1 power strip. And here is the whole payoff. He used to pay the cloud $1,999 a month for the same model, and the meter ticked on every request. Now he paid $5,998 once for 2 boxes, they covered their cost in 3 months, and after that he sends as many requests as he wants for free, only electricity. The two Sparks talk over one fast cable, each holds 128GB of memory, and together they carry the whole model, about 73GB loaded per box, with the chip inside pinned near the limit at 96%. Both boxes work as one and keep trading data over the cable, with no cloud in the loop and no single word leaking out. The ready model sits on one local address, and any app on his network calls it as easily as ChatGPT. And here is how he described, in plain words, what this pair of boxes does: "this is a pair of boxes that holds the huge Qwen3-235B model and serves it to one network. the model is split in half, and each box owns its half. parts: // Box 1 (holds the first half of the model and starts the answer fast, the first word appears in under a second) // Box 2 (holds the second half and writes out the rest, about 10 tokens a second) // Cable (connects the 2 boxes and moves data between them on every step, with no lag) // Address (one local address where any app sends its request, like to a cloud model) // Test (a script that runs big prompts through and measures speed and delays) // Monitor (checks temperature, power draw, and load on both boxes every 2 seconds). the model never goes to the cloud. he only steps in when a box runs hotter than 80 degrees or the cable between them starts dropping data." So the system knows exactly what it is, what it is for, and where its limits are. It knows it has to hold the whole huge model across 2 boxes on its own. It knows it has to answer every request locally, with no meter, no limits, and no internet. It knows the human is only needed when a box overheats or the link between them stalls. → The setup runs around the clock on 2 boxes, each pulling under 60 watts → However many requests he sends, the monthly bill is $0, only electricity → The first box starts the answer in under a second → The second writes text at about 10 tokens a second → One request at a time: 838 tokens in 85 seconds, first word in 0.8s → Two requests at once: 697 tokens in 108 seconds, first word in 0.7s → Both boxes sit at 96% load and warm up to 76-78 degrees And only when a chip in a box runs hotter than 80 degrees or the cable between the 2 Sparks drops data does the system call the owner. And when he himself is out on a run or in a coffee shop, he still reaches his own model at home from his phone: sends a big prompt to the local Qwen3-235B, gets the full answer back in under a minute and a half, with no token meter ticking and no limit to hit. Here is what the test shows on his screen during one of the night runs: "one request at a time: 838 tokens in 84.9 seconds, first word in 0.8s, then 0.1s per token." "two requests at once: 697 tokens in 107.6 seconds, first word in 0.7s, then 0.15s per token." "Box 1: chip at 96% load, 76 degrees, 56 watts, 73GB used in memory." "Box 2: chip at 96% load, 78 degrees, 56 watts, the Qwen3-235B model fully loaded." And while everyone around is paying for AI by the month and bumping into limits, his top-tier model just sits on the desk and works as much as he wants: his own little power plant instead of a forever meter. He has no server rack of his own and no cloud account behind it. Just 2 DGX Spark boxes on a desk, one model split in half between them, one local address, and a folder of prompts next to it. Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the cleanest way to stop paying for AI: $5,998 of hardware on the desk once, $0 a month to the cloud, unlimited forever, and between them 2 gold boxes, 1 cable, and the full Qwen3-235B answering at home with no internet.

It knows the human is only needed when a box overheats or the link between them stalls. → The setup runs around the clock on 2 boxes, each pulling under 60 watts → However many requests he sends, the monthly bill is $0, only electricity → The first box starts the answer in under a second → The second writes text at about 10 tokens a second → One request at a time: 838 tokens in 85 seconds, first word in 0.8s → Two requests at once: 697 tokens in 108 seconds, first word in 0.7s → Both boxes sit at 96% load and warm up to 76-78 degrees And only when a chip in a box runs hotter than 80 degrees or the cable between the 2 Sparks drops data does the system call the owner. And when he himself is out on a run or in a coffee shop, he still reaches his own model at home from his phone: sends a big prompt to the local Qwen3-235B, gets the full answer back in under a minute and a half, with no token meter ticking and no limit to hit. Here is what the test shows on his screen during one of the night runs: "one request at a time: 838 tokens in 84.9 seconds, first word in 0.8s, then 0.1s per token." "two requests at once: 697 tokens in 107.6 seconds, first word in 0.7s, then 0.15s per token." "Box 1: chip at 96% load, 76 degrees, 56 watts, 73GB used in memory." "Box 2: chip at 96% load, 78 degrees, 56 watts, the Qwen3-235B model fully loaded." And while everyone around is paying for AI by the month and bumping into limits, his top-tier model just sits on the desk and works as much as he wants: his own little power plant instead of a forever meter. He has no server rack of his own and no cloud account behind it. Just 2 DGX Spark boxes on a desk, one model split in half between them, one local address, and a folder of prompts next to it. Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the cleanest way to stop paying for AI: $5,998 of hardware on the desk once, $0 a month to the cloud, unlimited forever, and between them 2 gold boxes, 1 cable, and the full Qwen3-235B answering at home with no internet.
