WELCOME TO THE CLUB, LADIES: A Surge In Black Women Buying Guns Over the Past Decade Has Led to Mushrooming Social Gun Clubs That Go Way Beyond Target Practice.

Going by “FoxCee Washington” in her training mode, in homage to Pam Grier’s fierce film heroine, and often sporting a short curly white wig and thigh-high boots, she organizes “Brunch and Bullets” outings in Atlanta, Miami, and other cities.

They usually start with a tutorial on firearms fundamentals in her Sprinter party van on the way to a shooting range, where she shows her clients, many of them learning to shoot for the first time, how to handle and shoot semi-automatic pistols and rifles with confidence, while concentrating on making them feel comfortable.

“I like to focus on breath work before they even shoot,” she says. “I talk very softly, put my hand on their shoulder. A lot of men that I’ve trained with just put the gun in your hand and say, ‘Go for it.’ And I’m like, ‘This is not what women need, you know? We’ve got a lot of fear and trauma we’re dealing with. We need calm.’ And I’ve had so many amazing responses. Some women cry because they feel relieved.”

HEY, BIG SPENDER: Taiwan computer chipmaker TSMC pledges another $100 billion to expand US chipmaking capacity.

The latest commitment appears to bring the company’s total pledges for investment in U.S. chipmaking to $265 billion. The company also raised its annual revenue forecast after booking record high profits thanks to runaway demand from the boom in artificial intelligence.

The world’s largest contract chip manufacturing and one of the world’s most valuable companies, TSMC is seen as a barometer for the global chip industry and for AI at a time when worries about a potential AI bubble have been buffeting financial markets.

As AI-related demand continues to jump and needs for computing power from data centers surge, TSMC has been expanding chip fabrication plants in the U.S., Japan and Taiwan. It said it is increasing its annual capital expenditure budget for this year to $60 billion-$64 billion, up from an earlier estimate of $52 billion-$56 billion.

And we still need more chips.

NICE WORK, FELLAS:

THE EV BUBBLE CONTINUES TO DEFLATE: Honda is officially pulling the plug on its only EV in the US.

After Honda scrapped plans to launch its next-generation EVs earlier this year- the 0 Series SUV and Sedan, plus the Acura RSX- we had a feeling the Prologue was on the chopping block.

Unlike the 0 Series models, which were set to enter production later this year at Honda’s “EV Hub” in Ohio on a dedicated platform, the Prologue is based on GM’s Ultium platform, the same one that underpins electric vehicles from Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac.

Honda already ended production of the Acura ZDX last year, which was also built on the Ultium platform, leaving the Prologue as its sole EV available in the US.

While Honda dismissed an Automotive News report earlier this year claiming the electric SUV would go out of production in December, saying the “article is based purely on speculation,” the rumors proved true.

There’s a lot of that going on, maybe: Lucid dismisses report that it is weighing filing for bankruptcy or going private after shares plunge.
