Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Thx Rob -- looking now. I do like a good mesh chair.

I don't think I'M gonna last 30 years! 😅

Thx - looks terrific. I'm in mine for like 10-12 hours a day, so gotta have something great.

Thx, I sit in mine a ton, too, so I'm willing to spend on a great one. Will check that out.

Anyone have a recommendation for an office chair you love? 🙏

With my kids (27 and 23), I think that's definitely part of it.

I think part of it is that they've grown up seeing all the negative things that come with status/fame and being in the public eye -- how easily you get treated like shit on social media, etc.

Nice collection you've got there. :-)

I know SEO is supposed to be dead, but the monthly metrics/marketing call I just had with a client suggests otherwise.

90 in 90 days?!? 🤦‍♂️

HUGE pop-up promoting AI Mode as I was searching while logged in.

@rustybrick.com is this new or just new to me?

OMG yes 😂

Sounds terrific to me - be proud.

The best time to get off Substack was yesterday. But you can still do it today.

A weak July jobs report & massive prior-month revisions increase odds of a Fed rate cut. Our Redfin analysis suggests mortgage rates will fall, offering potential relief for homebuyers.

With boost to NIH budget, Senate panel rejects Trump’s plan to slash agency Republicans on spending committee push back against proposed reorganization and overhead cuts

The National Institutes of Health’s budget, and structure, would be preserved under a Senate bill for the 2026 fiscal year.

Dayuuum that looks delicious!!

AI is bloatware, pass it on.

A week ago today, there were lots of local mentions in AI Mode for "homes for sale in tulsa."

Today, none. (And even the links they tried to include to the national sites are FUBAR.)

"homes for sale" seems like it will be one type of real estate search that's nearly immune from AI interference.

LMAO 🤣

It's like a concierge version of traditional SERPs, with links/sources grouped with topically similar sources.

Sure thing -- see my reply to Marie's comment above. (or maybe below?) :-)

I think it's a better experience than the oft-wrong confidence of AIOs and AI Mode.

I like that it helps me see the expert sources of the info, rather than burying them and expecting me to trust its summary of what the experts say.

Well, you mention 50 characters at one point...stuffing keywords into 60 characters at another point...and end by inventing a rule about three pipes max.

Same. Nick's a good guy and I think the spirit of the message to test things is spot on. But the implication that title tags have to be short is factually inaccurate, and that's been proven by testing.

Probably Fall On Me, but I just started listening to the whole thing for some self-confirmation.

This is great to see -- even if it took forever and a day, at least some of them are recovering.

I think I like Google's Web Guide.

Google search's AI summary is like the loud confident idiot in the room who doesn't always know the answer to your question but HAS TO be the first one to reply to it.

Restaurant GBP is so much more exciting than real estate GBP. 😅
