The nicest weather in the USA today will occur around Cincinnati, OH.

@Jason The comparison to uranium was nutso! Perhaps we should refer to AI as the new printing press. Are we going to deny literacy to Americans?

Get in the fucking car losers, we’re not gonna be losers 🫡 we’re not cars

@Jason This is great. Thanks for building a data center for this. 😉

I’m trying to get some work done — so glad we’re running out of GPUs 😂

Honored to have traveled further than any spread in history 🚀 Taking spreading smiles to new heights ❤️

NEW: Savannah Guthrie releases emotional Easter message amid the disappearance of her mother, says she still believes. Guthrie says she has questioned if Jesus ever experienced the specific pain she feels regarding the disappearance of her mother. “Perhaps this is too dark a message to share on Easter morning, but I have long believed that we miss out on fully celebrating resurrection if we do not acknowledge the feelings of loss, pain, and yes, death.” “It is the darkness that makes this morning’s light so magnificent, so blindingly beautiful. It is all the brighter because it is so desperately needed...” “So I close my eyes this morning and I feel the sunshine. I see a bright vision of the day when heaven and earth pass away because they are one on earth as it is in heaven.” “When we celebrate today, this is what we celebrate. And I celebrate too. I still believe. And so I say with conviction, Happy Easter.”

🚨 WOW! Artemis II pilot Victor Glover gives the PERFECT response to a leftist reporter asking about skin color "I hope we push that one day...it's about human history, humanity, NOT 'black history,' not 'women's history,' but that it becomes human history!" RIGHT ON! Victories for Americans and victory for humanity 🇺🇸🚀

We are on the move in the USA.

💡 🏘️ 🚨 Bruce Katz and I make the case that housing should be front and center in how states think about opportunity zone designations this year— the data from OZ 1.0 is compelling, and the housing need has only grown since 2017. Tighter income thresholds and Governors have 90 days to make decisions that will shape investment flows through 2036. Every community should be making their case now. Here's hoping states bring more intentionality to the process in 2026 than they did in 2018. 🤞 Bottom line: Put housing at the decision making table, you want an Opportunity Zone designation— and this round, they're going to be harder to come by. @bruce_katz @NovogradacNews @InnovateEconomy thenewlocalism.com/newsletter/opp…

@DallasAptGP Hard to directly compare a deck to a video. Mine goes into the different styles of OZ investments and clarifies who the players are.

@FMennone How does it compare to the video that Notebook just made? What did Notebook miss?

I spent an hour with Google NotebookLM and it made a better Opportunity Zone explainer than anything I have ever seen online. Just good source docs and a clear prompt. It walks through the full OZ framework: defer, reduce, eliminate, and no depreciation recapture (which most people miss). The first version was generic and rushed the math. A few prompt revisions later it nailed the pacing, got the 1245 recapture trap right, and explains it all pretty well.

That’s the best you can do, IOC? foxnews.com/sports/ioc-add…

NYC gave McKinsey a $4M contract to answer one question Should trash go in a trash can They studied it for 20 weeks Looked at Paris Looked at Amsterdam Looked at Barcelona Produced a 95-slide deck Titled "The Future of Trash" $42,000 per slide The conclusion after 20 weeks and 95 slides Yes Trash should go in a bin Not on the sidewalk They called it "containerization" Which is a $4 million word for "trash can" The mayor then stood at a podium and unveiled a bin A bin With wheels And a lid Like the one in your garage right now The one you bought at Home Depot for $50 He presented it like he had discovered gravity Camera crews were there Photographers Press releases For a bin I run the finances of an entire company If I handed my board a 95-slide deck that concluded "put the thing in the container" I would be fired by slide 2 My analyst could have done this in an afternoon With one slide That said "yes" And I would have redlined it for being too long But this is government Where common sense costs $4,000,000 And comes with a PowerPoint Make common sense common again Plz fix.

What the US map should really look like: "The researchers then used an algorithm to identify the best boundaries to 50 economic communities. That’s how they created the map below, showing what our 50 states might look like if they were redrawn today based on economic connections"

If you’re tired of seeing my face in your newsfeed or on the TV, apologies in advance, because it’s about to get a lot worse. By the end of the year, you’re going to be absolutely sick of me, due to America’s ever widening skills gap, and our ongoing attempts to close it with a record number of work ethic scholarships from mikeroweWORKS, and therefor, a record number of invitations to apply. The situation is serious. Skilled tradespeople are retiring much faster than they’re being replaced. For every 5 that leave the workforce, two come in. The math is not sustainable, and not a week goes by that I don’t hear from some industry leader wondering if I can help with their recruiting challenges. Every trade is in demand like never before. In fact, there’s been so much outreach from so many CEO’s and elected officials, that we’ve doubled the size of our scholarship fund, and extended the application period this year from six weeks to nine months. Last year, we received 10X the number of applications we normally get, and this year, with the disruption of AI, I suspect the number will be even higher. These are AI-proof, six-figure jobs that don’t require college debt, but instead, training. Thus, I will be cluttering up the media landscape with an onslaught of invitations to apply for scholarships, (like the one attached,) and good-natured appeals to support our efforts with a modest (or immodest) donation. Toward that end, I’m pleased to announce that the enrollment period is officially open. Funds are now available to help train the next generation of skilled workers. My goal this year is to award $10 million in scholarships, and you’re invited to apply today. Or, if the spirit moves you, to support our efforts with a donation of any size. The donate button is big and red and hard to miss at mikeroweworks.org. If nothing else, please share this, so others can be similarly annoyed with another unsolicited invitation to help us close America's skills gap.

@Jason He needs another one! A team of shovel bots.

and another well paying job goes 💨 in the age of AI [ these jobs can pay 35-50 an hour — I’ve learned! ]

@jessegenet @openclaw You are reinventing education on the fly! Amazing work.

Back on my homeschool grind… my @openclaw is cooking with nano banana pro… making on the fly custom materials for my kids 🤯 Also, it’s helping me teach bilingual from an English only curriculum I love! 🍌📚

The final piece of the central tower of Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia has been laid, bringing the church to its full height 144 years after construction began. Designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, it blends Gothic Revival with Catalan Art Nouveau.
