For the D: A Tribute to Mike Ilitch and the Heartbeat of Detroit Baseball

Image
  For the D: A Tribute to Mike Ilitch and the Heartbeat of Detroit Baseball By Bobby Boss When you talk about the soul of Detroit — the real Detroit — you don’t start with politics, skyscrapers, or statistics. You start with legacy. And nobody left a bigger legacy in this city than Mike Ilitch. Yeah, he gave us pizza with Little Caesars. But what he really gave us was hope — a belief that Detroit could rise, even when the world wrote us off. 🧢 The Owner Who Gave a Damn Mike Ilitch didn’t buy the Detroit Tigers just to play boss. He bought them to win , to restore pride, and to give this city a team we could believe in — a team that mirrored our grind, our hustle, our heart. He took over the Tigers in 1992, when they were barely breathing. What did he do? He rebuilt them from the dirt. He invested, drafted, traded, spent, and risked — not for profit, but for pride. For us. From signing big-name players like Miguel Cabrera to pushing for a world-class ballpark with Comer...

AI Is Coming for These 7 Jobs — Microsoft Sounds the Alarm

Image
  AI Is Coming for These 7 Jobs — Microsoft Sounds the Alarm Microsoft just dropped a bombshell report. Based on over 200,000 real interactions with their Copilot AI, they exposed the jobs already being swallowed by automation—and the ones still holding strong. This isn’t theory. This is already happening . 🔥 The 7 Jobs AI Is Disrupting the Most Microsoft found these seven roles to be the most overlapped with AI use. That means people are already relying on AI to do big parts of these jobs: Interpreters & Translators Historians Travel & Passenger Service Attendants Sales Reps (Services) Writers & Authors Customer Service Reps Machine Tool Programmers (like CNC operators) These jobs rely heavily on communication, research, data recall, and pattern-based tasks—things AI is built to handle fast and cheap. Some roles, like interpreters, showed up to 98% overlap . That’s nearly full replacement territory. Microsoft’s message: If your role ove...

Top AI & Autonomy Stocks Under $15

Image
  Top AI & Autonomy Stocks Under $15 Artificial intelligence and autonomous technologies are reshaping industries from automotive to logistics. While giants like NVIDIA and Alphabet trade at premium prices, a handful of smaller companies under $15 per share offer exposure to these high‑growth sectors. They also carry higher risk due to their size and early‑stage status. 1. AEye, Inc. (LIDR) AEye makes adaptive LiDAR sensors that mimic the way human eyes focus on relevant objects. Its Apollo sensor was recently integrated into NVIDIA’s DRIVE AGX platform for autonomous vehicles, triggering a surge in the stock price. The company is pre‑revenue and considered highly speculative. 2. BigBear.ai Holdings (BBAI) This firm provides AI‑driven analytics for mission‑critical decisions in defense, border security and logistics. The stock rallied more than 50 % in a month after new contract wins. BigBear.ai’s government‑focused work aligns with federal initiatives to m...

China’s GLM‑4.5: Cheaper, leaner, more “agentic” AI

Image
                      China’s GLM‑4.5: Cheaper, leaner, and more “agentic” At the 2025 World AI Conference in Shanghai, Chinese AI startup Z.ai (formerly Zhipu) unveiled its new GLM‑4.5 series, a family of open‑source language models designed to undercut rivals on price and efficiency. The headline model runs on just eight Nvidia H20 chips—half the hardware used by competitor DeepSeek’s R1—and Z.ai says it will charge only 11 ¢ per million input tokens and 28 ¢ per million output tokens via its API. In other words, the cost of generating text with GLM‑4.5 is more than ten times lower than DeepSeek’s current rates. Z.ai also touts an “agent‑native” design, meaning GLM‑4.5 can break complex instructions into subtasks and handle multi‑step reasoning. The company is releasing three sizes: the full GLM‑4.5 with 355 billion parameters, a streamlined “Air” version that activates only a small subset of parameters for efficiency, and a “Fl...

How Quantum Chips Could Transcend Smartphones and Power a New Digital Frontier

Image
 Imagine a world where your pocket device isn’t just smart—it’s quantum-smart. Where data isn’t pushed through circuits but woven through light and entanglement. That future may still be out there—but we’re closing the distance faster than most expect. ⚛️ A Quantum Light Factory, Shrunk to the Scale of a Finger Nail A team of researchers recently packed a working “quantum light factory” onto a 1 mm² CMOS chip using standard semiconductor manufacturing—the same tech that powers today’s CPUs and GPUs. It holds 12 microring resonators that generate entangled photon pairs, with built-in feedback systems that adjust themselves in real time. This isn’t sci-fi—it’s a scalable, fab-ready quantum breakthrough. Could That Ever Live in Your Phone? Maybe—Eventually Right now, quantum chips need cooling near absolute zero and heavy shielding. That makes them unusable in phones—at least for now. But light-based (photonic) quantum chips are showing potential to work at or near room temperatur...

Image
 What would it sound like if Jesus and Muhammad sat beneath an olive tree and spoke—not to debate—but to understand? That question led me to create a short but powerful spiritual work: When Jesus and Muhammad Spoke of God, Humanity, and the End. This isn’t a theology book. It’s not a history lecture. It’s a moment of imagination grounded in truth. A peaceful conversation between two of the most important spiritual voices in human history. 🌿 Why I Wrote This I didn’t write this to compare religions. I wrote it to build a bridge. In a world full of division, conflict, and misunderstanding, I wanted to imagine a space where two prophets—honored by billions—could meet in peace. What would they say about God? About humanity? About what’s coming next? Would they fight? Or would they listen? 📖 What’s Inside the Book This is a 5-page spiritual dialogue , designed to be read in one sitting—but to leave a lasting impression. In it, Jesus and Muhammad speak on: The nature of ...

💔 When Love Is Stolen: The Silent Pain of Parental Alienation

Image
 There’s a kind of pain that doesn’t have a name in everyday conversation. A kind of grief that lingers, not because someone has passed — but because someone has been pulled away from you, slowly, silently, and intentionally. That pain is called parental alienation . And if you’re living it, I see you. You wake up every day wondering if your child still remembers your laugh, your stories, your love. You question your worth as a parent because someone else decided to rewrite the narrative — paint you out of the picture. You battle a system that often fails to protect the bond between a loving parent and their child. And through all of that... you’re expected to keep functioning. Keep smiling. Keep moving. But the truth is: You’re not weak. You’re wounded. And you deserve space to heal. This Isn’t Just About You — It’s Bigger Parental alienation doesn’t just affect one parent. It fractures families. It rewires children. It creates invisible scars that last generations. ...

  💸 10 Ways to Make Money by Actually Saving Money Because sometimes keeping your coins is the smartest hustle Let’s be honest — we hear a lot about side hustles and “how to make $10K a month.” But sometimes, the easiest way to make money is to stop wasting it. You don’t always need a raise. You need a strategy. Here are 10 ways you can stack cash just by changing how you spend it: 1. 🛒 Buy No-Name Brands at the Grocery Store Big brands = big markup.

💸 Cash Apps vs Debit Cards: What’s the Real Move in 2025?

Image
  Real talk — when’s the last time you pulled out a debit card? Now compare that to how many times you’ve sent someone Cash App this month. Exactly. 😎 If you're Gen Z or a young millennial, chances are you’re not just going digital — you live there. Whether you're splitting tacos, paying rent, or sliding somebody $10 for gas, you’re probably doing it all from your phone. But here’s the thing nobody’s really talking about: Are cash apps like Cash App, Venmo, or Apple Pay actually better than a regular debit card? Let’s break it down. No fluff. Just facts — and maybe a few red flags. 🧠 The Shift Is Real: Cards Are Cool, but Apps Got Swagger 📊 Stats don’t lie: Over 70% of Gen Z prefers using cashless options (Cash App, Venmo, Apple Pay). But get this — 69% still use debit cards weekly , even more than credit cards (which a lot of y’all are lowkey avoiding).

Real Talk: Here’s How I Actually Use AI to Save Time & Money

Image
  How AI Can Make Adulting (and Your Wallet) Way Easier Let’s be honest — no one handed us a life manual. You're expected to pay bills, fix your credit, build a career, meal prep, avoid dating a walking red flag, and somehow save money? Yeah, OK.
