Frank McCormick, a former teacher and constitutional conservative, posted on X early Thursday asking if people enjoy Christmas aesthetics like lights, music, and decorations. Over 50 Jewish respondents largely expressed delight in the holiday's vibe and mood-boosting elements amid winter, noting cultural participation such as eating Chinese food on Christmas or decorating neighbors' trees. Many highlighted the irony that iconic songs like 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' were written by Jewish composers including Irving Berlin and Johnny Marks. While a minority opts out, the thread with over 4,000 views reflects American pluralism and shared seasonal goodwill transcending faith.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

A simple question on X about enjoying the Christmas season sparked dozens of positive replies from Jewish users, who praised its twinkling lights, festive music, and communal joy without embracing its religious core.

Seven weeks after a U.S. military operation on January 3 captured former President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, killing 32 Cubans, interim President Delcy Rodríguez has dismissed Cuban advisers from key roles, turning to Venezuelan bodyguards only. This shift follows U.S. pressure, including blocked oil shipments to Cuba, and aligns with economic reforms like a new oil law granting America oversight of sales, which has funneled $1 billion in revenue. A recent poll shows 72% of Venezuelans feeling optimistic about the country's direction under Rodríguez, though opposition voices question her support and highlight fears of U.S. coercion amid calls for elections.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

With Maduro in U.S. custody, Venezuela's interim leader ordered Cuban security teams out of her guard and intelligence units—a sharp break from years of close reliance on Havana's elite protection.

Vladislav Luilkov, 36, from Russia, used hidden cameras to record street approaches and intimate encounters with women, posting them under the alias 'Yaytseslav' for profit.

Victims like 'Juliet,' who was approached with her children, shared painful stories of harassment and online shaming, prompting Ghana's Gender Ministry to provide psychological support while Kenya launches its own probe.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

The chart, based on FactSet data through late 2024, shows Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta ramping up capital expenditures 42% to 95% year-over-year for AI infrastructure, while Apple's dipped 19% to $2.37 billion in its latest quarter. Apple spent just $12.7 billion in fiscal 2025 versus peers' $400 billion-plus, leaning instead on partnerships like licensing Google's Gemini model and its own on-device chips. Supporters call this disciplined genius that avoids debt and GPU risks, while critics warn it risks falling behind in the AI race—though Apple's strong cash flow and recent earnings beat keep it shielded for now.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

A simple chart lays bare Apple's unique path in the AI era: while rivals pour billions into data centers, Apple's spending line stays remarkably steady.
