After todayโs internet security issues, it has me wondering what are the security vulnerabilities of humans?
The lowest demand in history per NAR.
Lower demand than 2008 crisis.
Lower demand than Covid crisis.
This is not a small deal.
U.S. Housing Market sales just hit the lowest level ever in September 2026.
The NAR's pending sales index just fell to 66.0.
Which is the worst reading ever recorded.
50% lower than the pandemic peak, 35% lower than 2019 levels, and lower than any period during the 2008-09 downturn.
Homebuyers are boycotting the housing market due to excessively high prices, and mortgage rates back above 7%.
Meaning the U.S. remains mired in the biggest homebuyer recession in history, and it just got worse (sales down 11% YoY).
The upside here is it's now a good time to make low ball offers on houses. Especially in markets with high inventory.

Soโฆabout them interest rates. Did you know that by going direct to the listing agent you can save 9% off your payment? Hereโs a calculator to run the math. realable.com/calculator/5000โฆ
Do the AI companies think we make a lot of restaurant reservations? What do they think normal Americans do everyday? I canโt think of the last time I made a reservation.

just want to remind you one more time that significantly lowering the cost of housing would solve, overnight, almost every single problem in the country

A decline in car break-ins across Oakland is being welcomed as a public safety win, but it is also contributing to a downturn for some local auto glass repair businesses. ktvu.com/news/auto-glass-repโฆ

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then โ I must report this calmly โ the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did weโฆ?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished โ an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Airbnb CEO @bchesky says more AI founders should be starting consumer businesses.
"I'm on the board of Y Combinator. 87% of companies are enterprise companies per batch."
"Enterprise is awesome... but the biggest prize is consumer. That is what's going to reach daily life for billions of people."
"Think about all the little parts of daily life that are kind of annoying. Pay attention to whoever's in your life and ask: 'How could their daily life be a little bit easier?'"

Note: there's not one prominent Leftist anywhere in the West doing what Charlie Kirk did, i.e. issuing an open debate challenge to all comers and saying "Here's my view, I invite you to try and prove me wrong". None of them are willing to subject their views to that scrutiny.

The Right wants the Left to touch grass, get real, grow up, get married, have kids, gain wisdom, & cherish their civilization.
The Left wants the Right to die.
This is a bit of an over-simplification. But only a bit.
Everyone would need a larger home to want one of these. Imagine having one in a NYC apartment. Get outta here.
It's hard to imagine a person NOT wanting his/her own personal humanoid robot and there are over 8B people on Earth today.
It's also hard to imagine a business NOT wanting its own humanoid robot doing useful things and there are over 360M business on Earth today.
This is what Elon means when he says Optimus is going to be 10X bigger than the next biggest product.
If you are a $TSLA investor, each share you own is a never expiring call option into this future.
This is my view. Smart people donโt read booksโฆthey absorb information from everywhere. Books are just long winded ideas. A time tax on knowledge.
Don't read long form books my friend. I guzzle information, I absorb from wherever I can. I have read as much about agentic architectures lately to build a mental teamwork to understand how one might protect our customers in such a future. Always be learning. Many long form books take a lot of prose to make a few points, I find summaries interesting there, unless I feel like a good story.
Great thread on obesity in the US. TLDR: itโs the fake flavor and B vitamins we enrich our food with. Eat non enriched food and as natural as possible
