My dream Gen X retirement community isn't a golf course or a luxury resort. It's a fully renovated 80s/90s shopping mall. Half the building is apartments. The other half looks exactly like the mall we grew up in. The Waldenbooks is now a massive library where you can spend hours getting lost in books. The food court is part of your meal plan, so you can grab an Orange Julius, a slice of pizza, Chinese food, or sit down for a proper meal at Shoney's whenever you want. The movie theater plays classics every night. The arcade is free and packed with Pac-Man, Galaga, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Donkey Kong, and every cabinet game we spent our allowance on. Sam Goody is still there. You can browse CDs, listen to Bowie, The Ramones, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, or whatever you love. They even host monthly dance nights for anyone who still remembers MTV when it actually played music. The Sharper Image has massage chairs you can reserve whenever your back reminds you that you're no longer 25. The pharmacy is still an Eckerds. Blockbuster is fully operational. You can rent movies, video games, and spend 30 minutes wandering the aisles before choosing something you'll probably fall asleep watching. There's an aerobics studio offering Tae-Bo, Richard Simmons, MTV's The Grind workouts, and every fitness craze we survived the first time around. There are fountains everywhere, a lazy river because we've earned it, and plenty of benches where people can sit and talk instead of staring at their phones. Every morning we go mall walking before the stores "open." Every evening we meet friends at the food court. No algorithms. No endless scrolling. No influencers. Just books, music, movies, arcades, friends, nostalgia, and the feeling that for a few hours, it's 1995 again. Honestly, I'd put my name on the waiting list today.

Aaron Rodgers WENT OFF on Mike McCarthy: "WHAT THE F*CK! CALL IT!" McCarthy: "F*cking asshole." 😭

Gabe Vincent says MOST NBA players “hate” basketball, but, they love everything that comes with it 👀🗣️ “Most of them hate it. They’re just there because that helps them do everything else. Or, they liked it to a point — the further you go in any sport or field, the margin for error is less, but, the reward of greater…” Thoughts? 🤔 Via. @treymourning

Top Shot made a lot of great moves this season, but this post is a subtle nod to the best of them all: fixed ceiling on rookie mints. Before the season started they told us exactly how many mints the rookies would have (and for what tiers) and stuck to that. The postseason rookie moments were same-player moment trade-ins or auctions, meaning the new moments were ultimately net negative based on what people burned to get them. No one else has done that. I hope they stick with this model going forward.

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

Announcement: Suspension of Flowty Services 📢 [Part 1 of 2] Flowty Community, The Flowty team has spent much of the last few months evaluating the best path forward for the platform. We have been building Flowty for over five years, and the platform has been live for over four years. We have a truly incredible community and feel fortunate to have the unwavering support and loyalty of so many of you. You took a chance on a grassroots platform built by Flow community members, and we are forever grateful. Unfortunately, the reality for Flowty is that the addressable market for NFT services platforms is significantly smaller than it once was and what we imagined it could become. Without structural changes or external support, there is simply not enough volume for Flowty to sustainably operate, let alone thrive. Next Steps As a result, we will be pausing most Flowty services while we evaluate strategic alternatives. The following are the steps we are taking for each of Flowty’s core services. Please continue reading to the next section if you would like to support our efforts to resume operations. Sales Marketplace Effective in 24 hours 👉 Flowty users will no longer be able to add new sales listings to the marketplace 👉 Existing sales listings will be removed from the marketplace Loan Marketplace Effective today 👉 The max loan duration has been reduced from 180 days to 90 days Going forward 👉 Over the next few weeks, we will reduce the max loan duration to 60 days, then 30 days and ultimately remove the ability to post new loan listings 👉 Borrowers will still be able to repay loans at any time throughout this process Rationale 👉 We understand that many borrowers utilize a refinancing strategy in which existing loans are repaid with new loans 👉 We want to give those borrowers time to manage and unwind their loan portfolios before loan operations are formally suspended Rentals Effective in 24 hours 👉 Flowty users will no longer be able to add new rental listings to the marketplace 👉 Existing rental listings will be removed from the marketplace Launchpad Effective in 24 hours 👉 The launchpad feature will be suspended We understand that this will come as a surprise to some and may be disappointing to those who rely on Flowty. We did not take this decision lightly and wish things had turned out differently. We also believe that, with your help (see below), there may still be a path to restoring services in the future.
