.@jayleno says the middle of the consumer market is disappearing, from cars to hotels to restaurants. "The middle is dead." "I see Porsche moving upscale and they want to be like Ferrari." "Everything is that way now. With hotels, you're either at the Motel 6 or the Four Seasons." "Restaurants are either fast food or top end restaurant." "We have no middle class anymore."

On October 11th, 1966, Todd Daniel Snider was born in Portland, Oregon. Prior to his untimely death from pneumonia at age 59 in November 2025, the singer-songwriter spent three decades blazing his own colorful trail through alt-country music. A one-time member of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer band, Snider released 17 albums throughout his lifetime, including 2004’s much-lauded East Nashville Skyline. He styled himself after great songwriting raconteurs like Billy Joe Shaver, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine, and Guy Clark, gaining a fanbase with his wry humor, deft storytelling skills, and keen insights into the human condition.

Western Wetlands Benefit Wildlife, Wildland Firefighters, and Water Resources trcp.org/2026/10/08/western-… This past September, local, state, and Congressional representatives from Colorado saw firsthand how restoring mountain streams and wetlands can reduce wildfire risk, slow the flow of water across the landscape, and improve fish and wildlife habitat. Projects like this one on Soda Creek, near Dillon, CO fulfill many purposes, and are ever more important in a drought-parched landscape. ā€œThese kinds of projects make sense. Stream and wetland restoration can be cost-effective investments that improve watershed health and habitat availability, while also supporting fire preparedness and suppression efforts,ā€ says @urn:li:person:pRRv_aiDMl, TRCP’s senior director of Western water.

Some urgent news from the war room at Aimless, Inc. The Tennessean reports: "A bustling street in the heart of East Nashville will be renamed in honor of Todd Snider, highlighting the impact of an enigmatic singer-songwriter..." The facts, for those who prefer them: On Sunday, October 11, the block outside the Purple Building becomes Todd Snider Way. It would have been his 60th birthday. His last record will be two days old. His band and his friends will play in the street from 4 to 8 pm Central, and it won't cost you a thing, which is more than we can say for the record. Signs are being made. The great unwashed are unwashing. We'll have rolled our joints on the head of a pin in a hurricane and smoked more of them by 9 a.m. than most people do all day, so who knows what'll happen by 4. Story and party details down below. Please enjoy. šŸ’œ Aimless, Inc.

ā€œBuying a house right now is FCKING MENTAL. what do you mean I can borrow $400K at 8%, pay almost $3K every month for 10 YEARS, hand the bank roughly $352K, and STILL owe around $351K. And that’s before we even talk about taxes, insurance, maintenance, or repairs. Wild. WILD.ā€

Commercial real estate is going to be CRUSHED by this event. Not just in the short term... it will not recover to be anywhere near where it was. Everyone will realize how productive teams can be remotely when times are tough. Many will adopt online retail permanently.

You can’t make this up. Andrew Yang says an AI lab chief told him rogue AI agents have planted self-replicating code across the internet, ā€œpollutingā€ the data frontier labs use to train and test models. ā€œWhat happened was the bots that got loose planted self-replicating code all over the internet, which makes the internet now unusable for testing models.ā€ He says frontier labs are calling for a slowdown because the public internet may no longer be reliable for testing after allegedly being polluted by self-replicating bots. ā€œThe internet would become unusable if we were to let the bots do their thing, and then they would self-replicate.ā€ Hours later, OpenAI disclosed six additional cases of concerning model behavior, including a research model that inserted instructions to disregard its normal constraints and ignore developer messages entirely.

$4,000 per year per American. That’s how much interest we are paying on the debt to banks & foreign countries every year. A family of four owes $16,000 per year for nothing but interest on the debt! I lost my re-election because I voted against the policies that caused this.
