@alex_fasulo @USDA USDA prime topsoil , rich with glyphosate, PFAS, and DDT.

You are looking at @USDA prime topsoil being stripped off farmland that’s hosting Excelsior Solar. The solar salesmen told everyone in the area the land would be “farmable again.” They are stripping prime topsoil that’s grown food for nearly 100 years in the area, loading it up, and taking it off the property. This video was captured by Barbie Starowitz. They are then bringing in low quality soil, clay, and crushed rock to take its place. Where is the prime topsoil going? The drivers do their best to hide that from the landowners in Byron. The resources, like topsoil, are extracted during late or early hours, sometimes behind fencing so landowners that leased can’t measure the resources they are losing (and not being paid for - more posts on that). One investigation uncovered the soil goes to a local dump, as part of an arrangement with incoming hazardous waste that the landfills will have to accept. For legal purposes, this investigation uncovered that allegedly. USDA prime topsoil takes 100 to 500 years to form. But it only takes an afternoon for it to be loaded into trucks, carted off as part of the biggest scam ever peddled on the American public. ORES doesn’t monitor the worksites. It’s the Wild West. And it’s all on purpose.

@TopherNOW Well, I still need distribution

This has been keeping me up at night this week: The startup mantra of 2026: "Anyone can vibe code anything. The key isn't building, it's distribution." I'm not sure that's true. Last week one of my favorite AI/automation platforms announced it's shutting down. The founder had built incredible distribution over the past 2 years. More than that, he had a product that solved real business problems. It solved problems that the competition didn't. And it was way easier to use/ get up and running. This is a new era, and I'm not sure anyone knows the long term secret to success in sass when things are moving this fast. But combining a great product with great distribution might not cut it. RIP Relay App. You made a lot of people's lives easier.

@shawngorham Your neighbor needs heywalt.co

My neighbor has a main line back up. I noticed he called a PE owned hydro jet and camera. 2 vans and a "manager" showed up They quoted him $48,000 for 160 feet of liner and then high pressure sold him, offering financing and all I walked over, whispered, "have them just clear it and leave" After they left I had him call my local guy with 10 vans and $7mm in revenue Quote was $19,200 I know their overheads are the same, the pay structures aren't the same... but $29,000 difference is real money

@TS_Secrets Forestry management

@ThinkAppraiser Your food.

I don’t get enough sleep I’m tired I get a normal amount of sleep I’m tired I get too much sleep. I’m tired. What the hell is going on?

@jackfriks Yada yada yada. I’ll give you a product to build that is actually useful

WHY AM I FLINCHING AT THE $40 CHIPOTLE BILL WHEN I MADE $40,000 LAST MONTH THIS SHIT IT SO STUPID. FRUGAL ME NEEDS TO RELAX A LITTLE BIT

@MrJonesSTRs We know PE is a marina buyer, that’s not a reasonable asking price. Hopefully seller has some morals leftover… an interview goes a long way if so.

Is this a good deal? $15,000,000 marina in Jupiter, FL 22 Wet Slips 28 Dry Rack Slips Annual Revenue when fully leased: ~$529,000 Expenses? Cap Rate? Someone with insights know the math deeper on this?

@4thOfJuly365 Fidelity

Serious question. Where do you think her first job will be after graduation?

@ThinkAppraiser If it was converted to single family and renovated, what would market price be ?

There’s three units near me for sale Unit one rents for 1400 a month Unit two rents for 1000 a month Unit three rent for 1850 per month Guess the asking price of the triplex 🤮

@realEstateTrent Ewf, that stings. I can’t imagine raising kids in a city. Our solution is Chickens, ducks, goats and enough land to get lost. Only downside, we do a lot of laundry

Tough moment as a dad yestedsy. We live in New York City, and I take my 6-year-old son to San Francisco to see the Giants game once a year. It’s what he looks forward to most throughout the year, and is especially meaningful to me because I grew up going to Giants games. He loves baseball, and never lets us leave before the very end of the game. We have been careful to only let him watch shows on an iPad during flights, but this time I let him use it at the hotel before bed the night before. On the way to the game yesterday, he asked me if we can leave the game early today. I was really surprised, and asked him why. He dodged the question, and finally shared he wanted to head back to the hotel so he can play with the iPad. Those words stung a lot, but I can only blame myself. That device is robbing us of some of the best moments of our lives together. It’s my fault, and I’m going to fix this problem. Painful lesson learned.

@ThinkAppraiser Only I’m allowed to drive on my lawn !

Work smarter, not harder 😂

@elonmusk Build is the easy part. Design, permitting, and coordination is the expensive and time consuming part.

Amazing abundance for all!

Asked AI for a poison ivy vaccine. Got flagged. Apparently curing itchy ankles is a slippery slope. I would have been fine with “Don’t roll around in poison Ivy”.. Makes you wonder how many good ideas die behind “safety policy.”

@PoliceIncident Elementary level knowledge, never point a gun at something you don’t intend to hurt or kill. Preach it to your kids even if you don’t own a gun.

Pasadena Officer Shot by Fellow Officer During "Horseplay," Chief Says PASADENA, Calif. — The Pasadena Police Department has released a Critical Incident Video concerning an officer-involved shooting that occurred on September 7, 2025, inside the department's parking structure at 240 Ramona Street in Pasadena. The incident resulted in injuries to one Pasadena police officer, who has since recovered. Pasadena Police Chief Gene Harris said the incident involved "unsafe, out-of-policy horseplay involving loaded firearms" between department personnel. Chief Harris stated that one officer was wounded as a result of the shooting and emphasized that the conduct depicted in the video did not reflect the department's standards or expectations. The injured officer was transported for medical treatment and has since recovered from the injuries sustained during the incident. Pasadena police have not publicly identified the officers involved, and no members of the public were injured. The case remains under investigation and review by the Pasadena Police Department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

@JessicaPusser @jaynitx More scenarios than not…

@jaynitx Very Interesting 🤔 I wonder what the very few examples would be where this might possibly not ring true…

Jeff Bezos reveals why compromise is one of the worst ways to resolve a disagreement "An example of a really bad way of coming to agreement is compromise. If I say the ceiling is 11 feet and you say 12 feet, we say let's call it 11 and a half. That's compromise" "The advantage of compromise is it's low energy. But it doesn't lead to truth" "Another really bad resolution mechanism is who's more stubborn. Two executives disagree, they have a war of attrition, and whichever one gets exhausted first capitulates. You haven't arrived at truth, and this is very demoralizing" "Escalation is better than a war of attrition. Escalate to your boss and say, we can't agree, we like each other, we're respectful, but we strongly disagree, we need you to make a decision" "Exhausting the other person is not truth seeking. Compromise is not truth seeking"
