Narrator: So it turned out that buying the worst properties in the worst markets and aggressively raising rents was not the brilliant and innovative strategy that the syndicator gurus would have had you believe it was.

“Our movement is a pursuit of a classless society, where industry and housing are provided by the government. We empower the common man by providing for each according to need, from each according to ability. It’s a revolution.” “Cool…anyway…I’ll have a medium iced coffee.”

Instagram now lets you blur people in your stories to help ‘soft launch’ a relationship The new AI tool lets you choose exactly how pixelated they are

WSJ has a great birds-eye view explainer on why LAX’s horseshoe design is such a traffic nightmare for 96,000 vehicles per days. LA is doing a $30B upgrade project for the 2028 Olympics including a ~$3B “People Mover” to alleviate traffic (unsurprisingly, its behind schedule).
I take back everything I’ve ever said about O Hare. LAX is the worst fucking airport in the country

we literally just saw a bunch of proprietary models labs show off how much damage their models did this is like shooting a bunch of people and being like yeah look how dangerous guns are, clearly only we should have them
We're used to thinking of open-source models as an unadulterated good. But in the case of AI, they can actually pose additional dangers, as @ReidHoffman and I got into at #CGI2026. I appreciated this nuanced discussion.
Community note
All recent large-scale cyberattacks have been performed by proprietary AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic. No evidence that open-weight models present any additional cybersecurity risks. nytimes.com/2026/09/23/tec… anthropic.com/news/investiga… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI%E2… opensource.org/blog/openness-…

The Portland method to affordable housing: Take a town that was once super cool and popular and make it so undesirable to live in that people leave town and rents go down. Unintentional consequence or intended result?

Taking huge advertising money from Budweiser and then fining a player $15k for pretending to drink an invisible beer just feels like regular old robbery?
NFL fined 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk $14,926 for engaging in an offensive demonstration Sunday vs. Miami. “Your imitation of chugging a beer constituted an offensive demonstration and could reasonably be construed as being in poor taste,” the NFL wrote in its fine letter. Juszczyk, nicknamed “Juice”, already has appealed the fine.

“Don't think for a second that because you are an alarmist that you are doing a social good.” This sentence is just devastating for so many intellectuals who need everybody to presume that they’re “the good people” Thank goodness we have Jensen!

boomer origin stories are always like "Finally at 35 years old I decided to get serious with my life -- fortunately there was a national shortage of hedge fund analysts"
Replying to @skhetpal
He kind of got into investing by accident. He landed in merger arbitrage and special situations work, found out he loved it, and in 1988 joined Seth Klarman's famous Baupost Group. He spent a decade there learning deep value investing before striking out on his own.

Why does the rest of the world not follow Singapore on all this stuff? They have exceptionally low social disturbance & crime, particularly violent crime, compared to US (our homicide rate is 41x higher). Strict laws, harsh consequences, and a high certainty of enforcement work
Bus users in Singapore will now be fined for playing music out loud The fines range from around $400 to $4000

Fuck. Look, man. I just need a little help here. Just a little subsidy to get me through the week, and I'll be good. Alright? Just this once. I'll get my shit together and I won't ask again, I promise. I mean, jesus christ man, fuck. It's not much, and you can spare it. I'm close to being done with this shit, I swear. Just subsidize demand once more, and we'll be straight. Yea...I know, I've said this before, but I'm serious now. Me and Amber Lyn, we got a good thing going and just need a little something to get us over. No man, you don't get it. Just give the kids 50k. Home prices won't adjust, so it will really make a difference. Help us stay on our feet. Goddamnit man, this is all we got, just bail us out this one more time! Cut the price? Fuck you! Do you hear yourself?! That's not the help we need. That won't work. We need real help bro. Just give out some cash for us.
