Facts over feelings
Indians win again. How can a group be so beneficial while bringing no harms across so many countries? It’s absolutely awe inspiring.

I wrote a short piece on how phantom vacancy works, why it’s common right now, and how public data exposes it before the market does. 👇

This is the gap most investors miss. By the time a building hits LoopNet, everyone sees it.

Now layer in public records. Expired loans. Tax liens. Lis Pendens filings. Low utilities + financial stress = early-stage distress.

NYC quietly publishes building-level energy and water usage data. When both drop sharply, it’s usually not a mystery — it’s empty floors.

Why it matters: Owners can hide vacancy on rent rolls. They can’t hide it from the power meter or the water bill. Utilities don’t care about narratives.

Most “off-market” commercial real estate deals aren’t off-market. They’re just not admitted yet. The signs show up long before a listing, just not where people usually look.

Why is the focus always “winning the culture war” instead of solving problems for Americans? Like housing, healthcare, childcare costs, ai. Is this really necessary? Does this actually improve people’s lives?

New Hunger Games prequel trending and the timing is wild. Hollywood is cranking out prequels and reboots while AI tools can now generate full movie scripts in minutes. The industry is about to change faster than most realize.

Most indie hackers are building AI wrappers. I’m building a Python script that watches the City of Orlando’s API for the word "REROOF." Why? One permit = A $50k - $200k job for a commercial roofer. They hate refreshing government websites. I automate it. Selling access to

Women are into more violent porn than men are. In one interview study, among people who said *violent porn* turns them on, the majority were women, not men. That doesn’t mean women watch more porn overall. It does mean our stereotypes about who has “dark” fantasies are
