β€˜Rental market is largely frozen’: San Diego rent prices fall in national rankings National rents are down 2% annually but Zumper said Southern California is seeing more of a slowdown because of increased supply.

San Diego rents fall 5.5%β€”proof that building housing works.

Add 6,000 apartments, prices drop.

This eases pressure on voucher programs, helps low-income renters, makes the city more accessible.

Want sustained affordability? Keep building.

An AI CEO finally said something honest
(Meta
Dax Raad from anoma.ly might be the only CEO speaking honestly about Al right now.
His most recent take:
"everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code
here's what things actually look like
- your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping
- majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life
- they're not using Al to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend
- the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon
- even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real
- your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills"

The US continues to increase its military manpower and resources in the Middle East, as more developments from the Epstein-Israeli espionage operation continue to emerge. The latest military buildup is focused on Iran and follows a White House visit by Israeli PM Netanyahu.

If war with Iran does materialize, I think folks need to understand that this will look vastly different than the 12 day war.

Iran understands this will be a fight for survival. I would expect them to activate all of their proxies and launch everything they’ve got - if they can.

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

Jaywalking in the United States is a made up "crime" that was literally a psyop campaign....

funded by automakers

because their cars were killing pedestrians

So they turned it back around on the victims. "Jay" was a negative slang at the time for someone who was a gullible rural person.
