Stuck in Djibouti Sounds painful

Talked to fed employee that described how they buddied up to their doge person, who readily admitted that he denies things because he doesn’t understand what anyone does, and they’re slowly getting him to understand

They should agree to meet each other in Temecula imo

Property management company tried to use AI to respond to maintenance requests and it went poorly. Bad enough that they violated the warranty of habitability and the PA AG went after them.

Republicans are simultaneously holding hearings on price fixing at Ivy League schools while they are giving a safe harbor from state and local laws to price fixing by housing providers in their big beautiful bill. Normal.

It's common to hear that, if Dems are to win against the right, they need to shift their rhetoric regarding social policies towards the right. This is conventional wisdom for many. But I'll let you in on a little secret: There's actually quite a lot of data about whether this works, and it doesn't.

Love that petrichor

They will never be happy. They’ve created a world where they can’t fail, only be failed by us (their neighbors and perceived enemies). Just tell them no and stand firm.

Blackstone owns 10% of apartment stock in US. That’s bad

The beautiful budget bill contains a provision that would prohibit states and localities from making ai rent setting (Realpage) illegal. A huge gift to tech and real estate. But RealPage still faces an estimated $73B in exposure to existing suits and it’s trying to sell/go public.

Undoing “humanitarian parole” is just cruel. timesofsandiego.com/politics/202...

How’s the harvesting of negative emotions from your perceived enemies going? Good?

Gave my kids access to my music library long ago and it’s fun to see which bands they latch onto. Youngest told me she’s been liking the streets lately. I learn new songs through what they add to the library. It’s a good system.
