I've decided in a new etiquette rule. If a party has over 40 people do not thank the host. Having parties over 200 people, the hosts have to hide to avoid 3 hours ish of thank you conversations instead of enjoying the event.

The College-in-3 trend is accelerating. Early movers experimenting with a 3 year bachelor’s degree were less selective schools like Merrimack or Weber State. Then states like OH, OK, and KS told their flagship universities to pilot the 90 credit degree. Now even NYU is doing it.

One of the strangest and under-discussed phenomena in macro is how different GDP per capita and GDP per hour worked have evolved since 1990 in the US and Europe.

How purchases of sanctioned Iranian jet fuel were disguised by Myanmar
In December 2025, the U.S.-sanctioned tanker Reef delivered about 113,000 barrels of fuel to Myanmar under fake paperwork.
Myanmar broker Dynamic Wave signed a $15.8 million contract with Thailand’s Tawan-Oil Trading for supposed South African diesel. UN and Vortexa data show no such trade existed in 2025. The cargo was actually Iranian jet fuel from Bandar Abbas, confirmed by shipment records, satellite imagery, and SynMax Intelligence tracking.
Days before arrival, Myanmar’s foreign exchange regulator told Dynamic Wave’s client it would issue import documents labeling the cargo diesel “instead of jet fuel.”
Payment went to Tawan’s account at Thailand’s Siam Commercial Bank. Matching delivery dates and quantities confirmed the Iranian origin. The scheme helps supply jet fuel amid U.S. sanctions, as the junta’s airstrikes have killed thousands since the 2021 coup, per the UN.

🇱🇾🇬🇧 A $10 MILLION GADDAFI MANSION HAS BEEN SITTING ABANDONED IN ONE OF LONDON’S RICHEST NEIGHBORHOODS FOR MORE THAN A DECADE.
The house sits on “Billionaires Row” in North London, where mansions can sell for £20 million, even £65 million. Yet nearly one in three homes there is empty.
This one once belonged to Saadi Gaddafi, son of Muammar Gaddafi. He bought it in 2009 through a British Virgin Islands company, with up to a dozen bedrooms, an indoor pool, gym, cinema and walls decorated with imitation diamonds.
Then 2011 happened.
Muammar Gaddafi was killed, Saadi fled Libya, and the mansion was effectively frozen in time. Activists later occupied it, hung banners from the balconies and declared that the property belonged to the Libyan people.
A British court later ruled that the mansion had been purchased with Libyan state funds and transferred it to Libya.
But Libya fractured, billions linked to the Gaddafi family were frozen, and the house became trapped in international legal battles.
One of the strangest twists came when General Dynamics UK pursued Libya over unpaid contracts and a British court allowed the mansion to be used as collateral in a £16 million claim.
So today, one of London’s most extravagant homes is basically a geopolitical pawn: too valuable to ignore, too legally tangled to use, and still sitting empty in a neighborhood filled with some of the richest people on Earth.

Japan is often discussed as if it has uniquely low fertility.
Its fertility rate is very low, but several countries–including ones with reputations for being lively!–are now even lower.
Friend needed to use my car, love that I could just send the key @Tesla
Great story and both do have one coming in about 6 months......
In 2022, a fraudster stole $1 million from us with a fake land deal. He was very convincing, and my team and I were doing a lot at once and got tricked. In July, a federal jury convicted him of wire fraud and money laundering. Today he was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison, the top of the guideline range.
It's not fun to lose money, but I’ll be fine, and we learned how to be more careful next time. Many other fraud victims won’t be fine, and every conman who walks free goes hunting for his next mark.
We have real problems with law and order in this country. Justice still exists, though, and criminals need to know they WILL be caught and punished.
It's a "white-pill" when you see the system working.
Thank you to the FBI, the prosecutors, the team at Jackson Walker, the jury of my fellow citizens, and Judge Pitman for getting this right. 🇺🇸
In the words of @bp22 #TrueStory
Remember I told you about the person who was doing new brain/computer interface work since he has a spinal injury that keeps him from opening his hands, or walking?
@TBabb02 is the guy, and is the director of marketing here. He is doing a bunch of R&D with brain/computer interface companies. Last Sunday he was the first to use a new kind of device from an Austin stealth mode startup that let him operate a robot hand. He showed it to me and it blew my mind. It can "listen to" the electricity headed down his arm to his hand.
AI is going to help so many people that when doomers doom I just think about him and what's being worked on in labs around the world, but particularly in Austin (Neuralink has a big presence there, for instance).
Inspiring.
Along with @adamasonbrink and @grantweston they are building a new kind of "company brain" that's very different than the others I've seen.
All starts with watching how you work over time.
The future of work is right here. Scary as it might be, it will help many people work better together.

There were 4 CVSS-10 security incidents over the past 24 hours. One of them is the worst incident I’ve seen in my life.
So we created an auto-SRE tool that polls for security incidents, identifies which ones we're in trouble for, and automatically fixes them.

Pou chèf gang yo ak manm gang yo k ap kenbe kat konpatriyòt nou yo an otaj ann Ayiti:
Mesye nou kidnape yo pa konbatan. Yo se teknisyen nan domèn avyasyon ki fè pati misyon nou ann Ayiti, nan kad yon misyon entènasyonal. Misyon nou an gen sèlman pilòt ak pèsonèl teknik, ki gen kòm travay prensipal fè evakyasyon medikal epi sove lavi moun, pa fè lagè.
Men, nou te kidnape yo yon fason lach pandan yo t ap retounen apre yo te fin achte manje nan yon makèt nan zòn nan.
Se poutèt sa, jodi a nou te lanse yon operasyon militè pou pote yo sekou. Nou gen yon sèl objektif: fè kat konpatriyòt nou yo retounen lakay yo vivan, san okenn mal.
Men, mwen vle pou nou menm, chèf gang yo, konprann yon bagay byen klè: atak jodi a pa anyen devan sa k ap vini si nou pa remèt toule kat otaj yo vivan.
Epi pa pran pawòl nou yo pou menas san fondman. Nou deja fini ak gang yo nan El Salvador, e nou kapab fini ak nou tou.
Nou toujou gen tan pou evite sa.
Remèt nou kat konpatriyòt nou yo vivan, san okenn mal, epi tout bagay ap retounen jan sa te ye anvan kidnaping lan.
Desizyon an nan men nou.

🚨🚨🚨 Russian intelligence operatives hiding behind fake identities aboard commercial vessels?
A new investigation by @DanWatchDK reveals that 28 individuals aboard seven 🇷🇺 Russian commercial vessels transporting military equipment from Kaliningrad to Africa may have been sailing under fabricated identities.
The findings are striking:
🔹 Passports with nearly identical numbers, apparently issued around the same time.
🔹 No identifiable digital footprint for the individuals concerned.
🔹 Older, non-biometric passports with no recorded travel history in the databases examined.
The findings raise serious questions about the potential use of commercial shipping as cover for Russian intelligence operations and covert personnel movements through European waters. ⚠️

On the 23rd of September 2026, SynMax's maritime domain awareness platform, Theia, detected and tip-and-cued high-resolution satellite imagery of the NING FENG LENG 2 (IMO 1026697), a 157-meter Chinese-flagged reefer, engaged in a ship-to-ship transfer with an unidentified squid jigger just outside of the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of Peru and Chile (-15.8541, -80.9254).
At the time of capture, AIS location data was not received from either vessel.
The interaction between the two vessels is consistent with the resupply of personnel or provisions and the transshipment of catch at sea, practices that allow distant-water fleets to remain active near fishing grounds for extended periods and complicate the traceability of fish products. Tracking support vessels such as reefers enables analysts to identify the vessels, ports, and markets through which IUU (illegal, unreported, and unregulated) fish enter the supply chain, allowing enforcement to focus on a small number of high-value nodes rather than thousands of individual fishing vessels.
Theia ingests more than 40 million km² of satellite imagery daily, fusing it with global AIS and additional datasets to automatically detect, identify, and track tens of thousands of vessels across oceans, regardless of AIS output. Atlas, SynMax's Agentic AI, extends this further, enabling analysts to interrogate Theia's pre-processed datasets, generate network charts, and explore links between vessels, such as repeated rendezvous between support vessels and fishing fleets, shared patterns of life, and changes of identity, to map the networks behind transshipment activity at scale.
