Arm’s Ascent: A Glimpse of Power

As of this hour, the stock has risen – 10.2% they say. A number. Meaning little to the fellow staring at a flickering screen, trying to make ends meet, but everything to those who measure wealth in increments of such figures.

Nebius and DigitalOcean: A Brief Accounting

But Nebius isn’t making money now. And won’t be, for a while. Losses widening, they say. A common story. It’s like building a rocket ship out of hope and spare parts. Impressive, certainly. But does it get you to Mars? Probably not. Investors like a return, eventually. It’s a funny thing, wanting something for nothing.

Lilly & Novo: A Hunger for Profit

Novo, clever enough to see the gathering storm, first delivered semaglutide – a whisper of control for those wrestling with the sugar sickness, later branded as Wegovy for the simpler vice of overeating. Lilly followed, offering tirzepatide, Mounjaro, then Zepbound. Both belong to the GLP-1 class – a modern alchemy, manipulating the body’s signals to quiet the insistent demands of hunger. It’s a tidy solution, if one can afford the price of silence.

Centrus: A Nuclear Renaissance

Centrus Energy Facility

2025 proved to be a year of peculiar ambition, spurred by executive directives that aimed to quadruple domestic nuclear capacity by 2050. A bold stroke, certainly, and one that requires more than mere optimism. It demands, shall we say, a supplier. And Centrus, it appears, is perfectly positioned to provide the fuel for this most ambitious of endeavors.

Brad Pitt Reveals the Actors He Admires Most and the Names May Surprise You

Brad Pitt discussed the actors who influenced his understanding of masculinity and acting. He realized there weren’t many contemporary male figures he admired, so he looked to classic stars who played men with strong moral convictions. Robert Redford was a key inspiration, embodying the ideal of what both men and women hoped men would be.

Anime Live-Action Adaptations That Were Absolute Failures

A teenager learns he’s a chosen warrior with the power to save the world from an age-old evil. His journey takes him to famous places as he collects magical orbs to awaken a powerful dragon. However, the movie faced criticism for changing key elements of the original story and the way characters looked. Many viewers and critics also found the special effects and the speed of the story problematic. It’s often used as an example of how hard it is to adapt complex fantasy anime into live-action films.

Defense Stocks: A Reluctant Rally

The SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF (XAR) is doing even better, up over 10.5%. Which, when you compare it to the S&P 500’s paltry 1%, feels… significant. I mean, it’s not like I want to profit from global instability, but… well, one has bills to pay. And a slightly alarming fondness for organic avocados.

Ephemeral Fortunes: Three Shares Amidst the Digital Dust

Nvidia, a name whispered with reverence in the silicon valleys and dimly lit server rooms, presents a curious paradox. It deals in the ephemeral – the fleeting calculations of artificial intelligence – yet demands a rather substantial price for its wares. A forward price-to-earnings ratio of 23 times? A mere trifle, one might say, for a company that recently experienced a revenue surge of 62%. A growth rate that suggests, perhaps, the summoning of minor deities within its processors.

Actors Who Regret Their Tattoos

When Johnny Depp was in a relationship with Winona Ryder, he got a tattoo of “Winona Forever” on his arm. After they broke up, he changed the tattoo to “Wino Forever” by removing the last two letters. This allowed him to keep the tattoo as a personal memento without constantly being reminded of his ex-girlfriend. It’s become one of the most well-known stories of a celebrity regretting a tattoo in Hollywood.

Actors Who Are Much Shorter Than They Look

Tom Cruise is famous for action-packed movies like ‘Top Gun’ and ‘Mission Impossible’. Many people are surprised to learn he’s around five feet seven inches tall when they meet him. Because he often acts alongside taller actors, filmmakers use camera angles and special shoes to make him appear the same height. Despite his height, Cruise’s powerful presence and athleticism make him command attention on screen. He’s been a major movie star for many years, proving that you don’t need to be tall to be a leading man.
