lped him get elected by it turns out he was popular on TikTok, so that probably helped him. And they've got the official White House account on TikTok now. That's recent. And Trump's now saying that all the panic about the app's Chinese connection is highly overrated. So now that he's finding that TikTok just works to his favor, he's like the risks are highly overrated. He said he vowed to keep ex…

So it might remind you of things that are important like it might say uh oh this person's name is Jenna and today is her birthday because you would hate to forget Jenna's birthday and it would know that everybody would want to remember somebody special's birthday. So I can imagine having glasses that were making smart suggestions to me based on my real life. That actually would be kind of cool. I don't know if I would get tired of it or it would change my brain, but you would truly be a cyborg if you were talking to somebody, you're doing your thing, and then in the glasses, I assume that's how it communicates. Maybe it does it by sound. I'm not sure, but if you could see in your glasses something that the people you're dealing with don't see and it was giving you suggestions of things to talk about or it was checking your calendar for you or all of that stuff. Imagine you're talking to somebody in person. You say, hey you want to get together on Saturday? And then your glasses without being told pop up your calendar and then you can see that your Saturday is open or not. How cool would that be?
So the thought of just putting on your glasses and having your effective IQ doubled or maybe by a thousand or something is kind of exciting because any topic that you brought up, if you're just talking about something in the news, boop, it would pop up like an AI summary of that topic so that when you're talking about it, you can just throw in data that you see in the glasses while you're talking. How cool would that be? If it works, I'm going to be happy for two reasons. One, it will look like wearing glasses is just something you're doing for technology reasons instead of looking like you have bad eyesight. So I like the fact that since I'm a glasses wearer, that there might be some reason that everybody's wearing thick rim glasses like the ones I have on because it would just make everybody more like me. I'd look more normal. I like that. What was it? Was it the 90s when people like Michael Jordan made it and Bruce Willis made it normal to shave your head if you were going bald. And I happened to be alive during that era. I was like, yay, good luck.
Apparently Putin and Zelensky have made no plans to meet. It doesn't look like it's going to happen. So like I said, it looks like Ukraine is going to keep attacking Russia's energy infrastructure and Russia apparently has ramped up their attacks. So it looks like they're going to fight it out. So it's not so much who can kill all the soldiers on the other side. I think they've made it just an economic war at this point. Meaning that if Russia can destroy all the economic infrastructure of Ukraine, it'll probably make Ukraine give up faster. And if Ukraine can destroy the energy industry in Russia, Russia is going to start looking for a way out if they can't stop that from happening. And I don't think they can stop it. I feel like we live in a world that if your neighbor wants something to blow up in your country and they really, really want that thing to blow up, they're going to make it blow up. You could stop a few of the missiles, but they're going to get it. So there's going to be a lot less energy coming out of that place for a while.
Did you know that according to a watchdog report, Corey DeAngelis is talking about this on X, that the two biggest teachers unions funneled $50 million to left-wing groups. So I assume that means that from the dues that teachers paid where they thought they were paying their union to represent them only 10% of the money that they gave turned into representational activities and 90% of it apparently went to things like administration and funding left-wing groups. Why is that even legal? My god, does that feel like some kind of RICO? It just feels like laundering money cr

iminal organization. How is that legal there? So they've got the teachers in a bind. The teachers feel like they have to be in the teachers union for whatever reason they think they have to. And then they have to pay their dues. I think there are a few states that gave them the freedom to avoid the union, but generally speaking, they have to put their money in and then their money is being used in…
