New newsletter: MODERN FATHERHOOD WOULD BE UNRECOGNIZABLE TO A 1950'S DAD

Compared to their Boomer parents, childcare time among Millennial dads has more than doubled.

Compared to their Silent Generation grandparents, it’s nearly quadrupled.

You will be hard-pressed to find any part of day-to-day modern life that has changed more in the last half-century than the way today’s parents—and fathers, in particular—spend their time.

The new American dad is more present and more exhausted—but also, more satisfied with life. What's behind this half-century transformation? Today's piece combines history, economic analysis, and gorgeous charts galore from @AzizSunderji

Amazing how many other countries get it right. Watching Ex-South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol, sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of insurrection and Prince Andrew being arrested for his involvement with Epstein.

We counting to “preach” western values but are a laughing stock around the world.

Such a pathetic call by Michaels

By no means a complete list, but...
- You're gonna get it wrong, make mistakes and screw up. That's okay.
- Prioritize your physical health. Make time to walk every day.
- Leave the house and take calculated risks. This won't be the last time, but damn it is the best decade to do it.
- The mark of a real man is being kind, generous and genuine. Don't believe anyone who wants to sell you the opposite.
- Make sure you're growing up, but don't feel in a rush to be such a grown-up. I promise, it makes sense.
- It sounds corny, but meeting and falling in love with the right partner will change your life. You won't care about all the stupid little shit you thought was so important, all your fake rules, etc. My mom told me this when I was 27. I met my now wife the following year. She was right, as usual. It's okay if you don't find this person in your 20s. Just don't be afraid if they come along when you weren't ready or looking for them.
- Have some fucking fun.

Chiefs flag on special teams, who’d have guessed! Wasn’t even a return 😆

[Mitchell Schwartz @MitchSchwartz71]

If you play that soft on 3rd and 15 you have to be ready for them to go for it on 4th and short. Arrowhead crowd makes that moot though with a false start on 4th and 3

[Mitchell Schwartz @MitchSchwartz71]

If they’re calling that on Braden Smith then Jawaan better be on alert

A Davis Mills offense that can barely complete a pass has as many rushing yards against Buffalo in a quarter and a half as the Chiefs did all game

This dude absolutely nails a Gavin Newsom impersonation 😭

[Mitchell Schwartz @MitchSchwartz71]

Hey Chiefs fans please STFU about not picking Jonathan Taylor. This is a pretty damn good run of first rounders. If your expectation is that the GM (of any team) do better than this then you’re living in la la land and you don’t deserve to be listened to. Enough already.

The layoff wave tells two stories, not one.

Tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are cutting to fund GPU purchases. Their revenues are growing. Their stock prices are climbing. They're firing people to free up cash for compute. This isn't cost-cutting during a downturn. It's a forced reallocation from payroll to datacenter capacity. The math is brutal: every percentage point of headcount reduction funds another batch of H100s.

Meanwhile, UPS, Nestle, Ford, and Target are cutting for the opposite reason. They've already deployed AI tools that work. Customer service automation, supply chain optimization, generative design systems. The productivity gains are real and compounding. These companies don't need to buy massive GPU clusters. They're renting inference from hyperscalers and cutting headcount because the math finally works.

Both sides are feeding the same beast. Tech companies are buying the shovels. Everyone else is buying the gold those shovels dig up. Semiconductor companies sit in the middle, collecting rent from the entire value chain. TSMC, NVIDIA, and ASML are printing money while employment craters on both ends.

The timing matters. We're at 10% enterprise AI adoption, heading toward 50%. History says this phase moves fastest and generates the most wealth. But that wealth is concentrating in compute, not labor. The gap between market cap growth and wage growth has never been wider. This isn't a recession. It's a rebalancing. And most workers are on the wrong side of it.

What’s happened with the NFL Insider game is so fascinating.

The competition amongst most of them became solely focused on being first on banal transactions, which involves horse trading with teams/agents… and due to those “relationships” we actually get less real news!

Average US family health insurance premium...
1999: $6k
2003: $9k
2007: $12k
2011: $15k
2015: $18k
2019: $21k
2023: $24k
2025: $27k

That's a 365% increase since 1999 (6.1% per year).

(Note: US CPI inflation has increased 2.6%/year)

It’s 3rd and 2. WTF are we doing? This is the definition of running to darkness. Follow the highest paid C/G in the NFL ejecting one of the best DTs on the combo block and run through the LB if you need to. Don’t bury your head and run into the backside Guard’s back.
