“Humping Iron” [The Baffler]. “[M]en at each of [Christine Fetzer’s] stops—Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, New York; the list goes on—will pay hundreds of dollars an hour for the chance to wrestle a female bodybuilder. ‘It’s kind of an underground thing here, what I do,’ she says into the phone. ‘People don’t believe you actually wrestle men on beds in hotel rooms.’” • That’s just the first paragraph….

“Nvidia posts record $44 billion revenue, H20 export ban bites as gaming rises” [Tom’s Hardware]. “Driven by AI and gaming.” ● So that’s where we are? AI and gaming? Seems legit.

“Interview with Ross Douthat” [Nick Burns, New Left Review]. “[DOUTHAT:] A columnist is mostly trying to understand and describe history, rather than to change it. There are moments when a columnist can be a political actor, but I haven’t experienced many of those in my stint at the Times.” • I’m not sure what The Bearded One would think about that. Still, it’s interesting to see Douthat at the NLR. Strange choice by both? Or perfectly natural?
