The surest way for children to learn to read is for their parents to read to them as toddlers, initially running their finger along the line as they read. Most will be reading simple books by kindergarten. A simple solution too greatly ignored. Sadly. — Dr.Stanley Goldstein (@pedpsychdoc) September 9, 2025
95% of organizations that are pouring money into generative AI have little or nothing to show for it. That isn’t rumor. That’s MIT’s own conclusion. They say the machines can’t retain data. They can’t adapt. They can’t learn over time. So let’s stop pretending. They are not intelligent. Not artificial. Not anything. But Wall Street …
China’s grand experiment with the digital yuan is spiraling out of control. Citizens are rejecting it, merchants are ditching it, and the government is panicking.

The story they tell is that they are using sea sand to make the concrete, which is salty. The salt corrodes the rebar. the rebar expands as it corrodes. This expansion then busts up the concrete. Bridges, buildings, etc are just collapsing. h/t JustmeTX
The Fed is hopelessly out of touch. Rate hikes, aimed at controlling Biden’s reckless spending, have crushed the private sector. Now, with tariffs thrown into the mix, their late response is nothing short of historic incompetence. Do they even listen to earnings calls? PepsiCo said, “Compared to three months ago, our outlook on consumer sentiment …
