Houston economy is growing at 10.6%. That’s remarkable at this size.

2025 likely had the lowest *absolute* number of murders since 1968. Think about how big of a new story the rise in murder was. Nobody cares about an even more remarkable decline. Pessimism has won regardless of what's happening in reality. richardhanania.com/p/coups-in-afr…

There has never been a truly great movie made from a truly great novel.

For most of our relationship, my wife was skeptical of having kids. In retrospect, I realize that this was partly because most of our friends/colleagues who had kids in their early-to-mid 20s basically turned off their lives and always offered up the kids as an excuse for saying "no" to everything—a sort of anti-natalist advertisement. But by our late 20s, we started having friends/colleagues who were having kids but continuing to live their lives—taking trips, hanging out with friends, getting out into cities/nature, but now with a small, cute, and curious version of themselves in tow. This is when it clicked. And now we have a kid on the way!

I see this has made Elon fanboys mad and thats mainly because they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about, and think making fun of their fake space daddy is an isult to them personally. It is. You're all idiots



Crazy how the LA starter home is $1M-$1.2M




Has anyone out there had "vegemite" and it is secretly grand? Or is it just as off-putting as it seems?
