@TenreiroDaniel @TheStalwart @asokol_econ When are you going to visit?

@TheStalwart @asokol_econ @stuartapaul Stuart is my boy. Holla at him for me

This is very interesting from @asokol_econ and @stuartapaul of Bloomberg Economics. If you combine a bunch of different alt data sources that track the labor market, there's been clear, ongoing improvement since September.

Just walked in the front door after work. My 5 year old son ran to greet me. "Hi dad!" he said excitedly. As he went to hug me, I grabbed his shoulders and said, "Bud, I think you're overestimating the value of human relationships. I read that in a Substack today. Everything is different now. I mean - it was different before, but it's super different now." He blinked, clutching a plastic dinosaur. I couldn't believe it. Attachment to physical objects in a post-digital era. I gently rotated him toward the hallway mirror. “Look,” I continued, “do you see that reflection? That’s legacy hardware. Carbon-based. High latency. Limited processing power." As I kicked off my shoes, my 3 year old daughter came running up to me with a drawing she made in preschool this morning. She was glowing. Beaming. “Look, Daddy! I made this for you!” I glanced at it and explained that Nano Banana one-shotted her entire effort. Her job prospects were hopeless if she didn't understand this. “Sweetie,” I said gently, kneeling down, “this crayon sun? It’s 2022. Nano Banana can generate 100,000 emotionally resonant suns before you finish saying ‘primary colors.’ You need API access.” She asked what an API was. “Exactly,” I said, standing up. The crying started around then. Very emotional household. Understandable. They hadn't read *the essay.* My wife heard the children crying in the foyer and came to check on us. "I don't understand what's happening here, but why don't we sit down for dinner and talk about this?" she asked. "I made chicken pot pies!" “Dinner? Your contribution to a world where Amex and Mastercard are heading to zero by 2028 is DINNER?!” I started laughing. “Uh yeah…” I explained: “Cooking is a pre-Claude activity. Do you realize I can vibecode a functional DoorDash competitor in about 8 minutes now? It's all right there in the Substack.” As the kids continued sobbing, my wife looked at me in disbelief. “Okay, okay. Maybe it would take me 15 minutes to spin up a functional Doordash competitor,” I conceded. “Payments integration can be annoying.” She asked if I was feeling alright. “Better than alright,” I said. “I’ve seen the roadmap. I've read the Substack.” I gestured broadly at the house: “This? This is a future data center. The hugs? Deprecated. The drawings? Automatable. The chicken pot pies? Disrupted.” My wife folded her arms. “You used to like chicken pot pies.” “That was before I could prompt at a few hundred words per minute,” I said.

This can’t be true. Unless it’s based on how high I need to turn up the volume, I’m filing an appeal…

I'm very thankful for the brave man who pulled me from a burning building last April, and unfortunately perished in the process. I will never forget him. I don't remember his name but I think he had a mustache.

but I use the Terminal probably once a week while dreaming

@sonalibasak Congratulations!

It was just the most beautiful weekend - hoping this feeling never ends

@TenreiroDaniel Exceeded my already high expectations

🤞

How about that...

@kaileyleinz Congratulations!

Breaking news: our son has arrived! Will be soaking up the next few months with our little love 🤍 See you back on air in early 2026!

An expected increase in annual production equal to ~3% of global demand led to this selloff among producers? With global power demand rising by about 4% per year, this planned increase in production seems like a drop in the bucket...

They're the lucky ones. My grandfather, Pop Alan, passed away from end-stage kidney disease in October 2012 after spending five years on dialysis.

Kidney disease has affected my family for over 35 years. So last year I ran the NYC Marathon and set a fundraising record for the National Kidney Foundation. This November I’m running again and hoping, with your help, to set another record. 🧵

@sonalibasak Wow! Sad to see you go, but happy for you and looking forward to hearing what’s next.

PROFESSIONAL NEWS: Today is my last day at Bloomberg. After almost 12 years with the company, saying goodbye to my friends and colleagues is a huge challenge. So much of my identity had been tied to the television set, and connected to the stories I’ve written and the sources I’ve maintained throughout the way. 

Sometimes, though, when the future calls — you have to listen.

I am excited to share my next steps in very, very short order. I’ll be stepping out of the world of news, and deeper into the universe of finance. Stay tuned. The future is huge, and I’m excited to navigate it with you.
