We will all talk about Nvidia but I keep thinking about her.
The wife behind the now powerful man that once worked at Dennys.
Lori Huang
Forty-one years married to Jensen Huang.
She was there before the black leather jacket, before the trillions, before any of it. She built a family with Jensen while he built a company.
Today, the whole world got to read his apology in a company memo.
She has to live it....
Lori is the woman standing next to him in thousands of photographs like these, finding out- along with the rest of us... what was happening behind her back.
He'll answer to his board
He'll answer to Congress
The market will do whatever it does
But in stories like this one, Lori is always the one who pays the highest price for something she never did💔

On October 17, 1961, the platform at the Dartford train station in Kent was the scene of one of the most momentous chance encounters in Rock HistoryZ
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, two former elementary school classmates who hadn’t seen each other in years, ran into each other by chance while waiting for their respective trains to take them to college.
The immediate spark was ignited by the records Jagger was carrying under his arm. They were American blues imports from labels like Chess Records, featuring recordings by Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry. Upon discovering they shared an obsessive passion for rhythm and blues, they struck up an enthusiastic conversation that continued throughout the train ride and led to get-togethers where they listened to records and played music together.
That chance encounter at the station not only forged one of rock’s most prolific and celebrated creative partnerships but also planted the definitive seed for the creation of The Rolling Stones. What began as a conversation between two students united by a love of the blues would ultimately transform Rock History forever.

The Jensen Huang story keeps getting crazier.
US intelligence reportedly discovered that Nvidia’s CEO was romantically involved with a suspected Chinese spy.
Here's where things get insane:
1.) The woman, Alice Huang, was an executive at Megaspeed, a company under investigation for allegedly helping Chinese firms circumvent US chip export restrictions.
2.) US intelligence believes she was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security, its primary intelligence agency.
3.) Intelligence officials reportedly suspected her objective included gathering information about Huang and potentially influencing Nvidia to push for looser US chip export controls.
4.) Huang has spent the past year repeatedly lobbying Washington to loosen those exact restrictions.
5.) US officials reportedly prepared an intelligence memo detailing the relationship and circulated it among senior government officials shortly before Trump's summit with Xi Jinping.
6.) Trump had reportedly already been briefed on the suspected espionage operation and chose not to act on the information.
7.) Huang has met with Trump repeatedly, reportedly even accompanying him aboard the presidential aircraft on a trip to China.
8.) Megaspeed's Malaysian affiliate reportedly purchased at least $4.8 BILLION in equipment containing Nvidia chips between June 2024 and February 2026.
9.) Federal authorities have been investigating Megaspeed since 2024, with the Justice Department reportedly taking over the Commerce Department's investigation this year.
10.) Investigators reportedly found Nvidia equipment in boxes that appeared ready for shipment rather than installed in operational data centers.
11.) Alice Huang's name was reportedly removed from Megaspeed's corporate documents as scrutiny intensified. Her continuing involvement with the company remains unclear.
12.) Nvidia maintains that it investigated Megaspeed's chip deployments and found no evidence of illegal diversion.
13.) Three congressional committee chairmen are now demanding that Huang appear for a closed-door briefing on November 18.
We're talking about the CEO of the world's most valuable company, a suspected Chinese intelligence operation, billions of dollars in advanced AI chips, and the US government's efforts to control China's access to the technology.
There is still no public evidence that Huang knowingly cooperated with Chinese intelligence or that the alleged operation successfully influenced US policy.
But the questions surrounding this are extraordinary.

Victoria Spartz voted against Ukraine aid the same week her hometown Chernihiv was bombed by Russia, killing over a dozen civilians.
Obviously a longshot, but by god does she deserve to lose her seat.
