while im talking bad fanfic lubes: rosin is only used with bowed string instruments, not plucked ones! it goes on the bow hairs to make them grip the strings better! most importantly, it comes in a SOLID CAKE and is STICKY. it's literally the opposite of lube. and jaskier thewitcher wouldn't be carrying it around anyway, because he plays THE LUTE

When lots of people are worried about bubble valuations in stocks or a specific sector, all it takes is a small poke to make the whole thing wobble precariously.
Why it matters: That can cost investors $1 trillion or more in a single day, as happened Monday with the global AI rout.
- It can also challenge the fundamental assumptions behind an entire economy, like the nascent Trump administration's push to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in American AI supremacy.
Zoom out: In the 1950s, the Soviets beat the U.S. into space. In 2025, China appears to have potentially beaten the U.S. to building a better AI mousetrap.
- Last week, the small Chinese upstart DeepSeek announced a newreasoning model, R1, that appears to outperform the best America has to offer, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude and Meta's Llama.
The problem? Those companies spent billions of dollars building their models, fueling growth for companies like Nvidia, whose chips are the gold standard in that training process.
- DeepSeek spent a mere$6 million, figured out how to do it faster and more efficiently with cheaper hardware, and then released the whole thing as a free, open-source platform.
The big picture: President Trump's economic vision relies on massive growth, fueled by the AI boom that his closest advisers have sold as the country's future.
- The biggest economic announcement of his first week in office was Stargate, a five-year plan to spend $500 billion on AI infrastructure. (Complicating matters, Trump ally Elon Musk immediately cast doubt on whether anyone actually had the money to fund the project.)
- But if China can do AI better and faster at one one-thousandth of the cost, it casts a shadow on the rationale for spending that kind of money and leaves the country playing catch-up.

Brennan: Lou has only been shaking his head at me in this episode so far.
[...]
Lou: We’ve been playing D&D together a long time. And if my man is describing the clouds, you’ve fucked up, bro. Turn around. Turn around if my man’s making you make Arcana Checks on the clouds, turn around. If he’s telling you the number of Wizards you have on your ship, turn around!
Aabria: Wait, you’re saying detail is bad?
Lou: Detail is deeply bad. He wants you to know what he’s gonna take away from you.

do you guys know of any other.. idk what to call them... like the city-specific taglines that noirs or noir-inflected stories sometimes have? i love them and want to hear more of them. for ex:
- bluff city: "you know what they say about bluff city: the only way to win is to never play."
- juno steel's hyperion city: "some people say it's the most beautiful city in the galaxy; the rest of us live there."
- not quite up to par with the other two but i remember guy noir segments always used to refer to saint paul as "a city that knows how to keep its secrets."
- ???
