This happens every day 🙏🪽💔

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.

I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

“I be workin’”, “Didn’t nobody want to do it”, “She been ready” и “He don’t work there” - в стандартной версии английского так сказать нельзя

но люди которые так говорят, не ошибаются а используют AAVE, в котором есть свои правила, так что давайте разберёмся в некоторых из них!

Listen.... I need to add my voice to this quiet roar happening on South Florida social media right now. If you are African American, or move through the world with any perception of Blackness, you are going to struggle in Miami. Period.

You --will struggle-- if you do not have the specific will or the personal infrastructure to survive on your own. This city is beautiful, but the friction is real asf.

My number 2 most used app on my phone is Google Translate. Fam... think about that. As a Black man in an American tech hub, I need a translation layer just to navigate basic survival out here.

It is a constant tax on your mental bandwidth. You are navigating cultural codes that weren't written for you while trying to build the future. If you don't bring your own table, you will starve waiting for an invite.

✨There is one glowing exception to this rule: The AI community. It is the only space in this city where I see a genuine diversity of cultures, and it's because the barrier to entry is binary.

In the AI labs and the late-night dev sessions in Wynwood, nobody cares where your accent is from or what your background looks like. It is strictly about your receipts. Can. You. Deliver.

Fam, I live this shit and I have watched this city long enough to see the patterns in who makes it and who gets swallowed by the bubble.

The ones who stay and build do a few things consistently.

First, find your infrastructure early. Miami has community-led efforts, organizations like the Center for Black Innovation, the Black in Miami Tech network built to bridge the gap between Black consumers and Black creators in this ecosystem. Fam this is not optional. These are load-bearing relationships. I would be remiss to not mention my Mogul District events... I'm on stage speaking in urban vernacular an entire culture understands.

Second, they build economic independence before they need it. The professionals I respect most here are doing it largely without the institutional support that other groups take for granted. They are doing it through hustle, community infrastructure they built themselves, and technical skills that make them undeniable.

I am still here. I chose Miami. I am building here.
I have lost literally everything I own here. And I got my first Lambo here.

I stay here because the potential is real, the weather is undefeated, and I refuse to let the bubble decide what is possible for me.

I have office space on Biscayne that I have for 4 years made available to any entrepreneur but in particular our community. You need to chop it up with people in the game... I'll introduce you to an entire community.

I want to see you at the top when I'm at the top. I heard the lobster rolls are better up there.

A mass homebuyer exodus is hitting Miami.

Transactions have fallen 47% from their pandemic peak.

From 3,600 in August 2021.

To only 1,900 in August 2026.

This represents the lowest sales activity Miami-Dade has seen since the end of the last housing crash.

In fact, sales today are about 25% below pre-pandemic norms.

The reason this is happening is because locals in Miami cannot afford the prices.

The typical mortgage payment in Miami-Dade, inclusive of taxes and insurance, is $5,000/month.

While the local median income is only $80,000.

The math simply doesn't make sense, and buyers are locked out as a result.

Zoom in to your ZIP to see sales and price data at https://t.co/JaiX2V5pFK

[François Camé @FrancoisCame]

Une camarade de 3eme vient d'expliquer à l'un de mes jumeaux que "mettre un point à la fin d'un texto, c'est froid et distant"...

Un ami lituanien me dit, de son côté, que les jeunes lui déconseillent fortement de mettre dans ses messages une majuscule en début de phrase, voire de ponctuer son texte. Car : "Quelqu'un qui écrit avec une syntaxe et une ponctuation soignées peut être perçu comme condescendant..."

Et quand j'interroge Grok, pour savoir si c'est une maladie très répandue, cette bestiole m'explique froidement :

- "Écrire tout en minuscules est devenu un marqueur stylistique de relâchement assumé. Cela signale : je ne fais pas d'effort rhétorique, je parle comme je pense ."
Bref, cela signale que je suis cool et sincère...

Génial.
Nous avons donc, en quelques années, régressé de mille deux cents ans. Au moins.

-Au départ, les Grecs et les Romains écrivaient tout en majuscule, sans séparation entre les mots, sans point en fin de phrase. Ce qui rend leurs textes extrêmement pénibles à déchiffrer.
- Ce n'est qu'au IVe siècle après Jésus-Christ que les scribes commencent à inventer les lettres minuscules.
- Au VIIe siècle, les moines irlandais copiant des textes latins commencent à introduire systématiquement des espaces entre les mots.
- Au VIIIe siècle, Charlemagne, lui, instaure la majuscule en début de phrase, le reste étant en minuscules (ce qui permettait de placer plus de texte dans une seule page, donc d'économiser du parchemin, ce matériau étant extrêmement cher)
- Au XIIe siècle, les Universités inventent ensuite le paragraphe, qui permet de donner un peu de respiration à un texte.
- Et ce n'est qu'à la fin du XVe siècle que le génial Alde Manuce, imprimeur et humaniste vénitien, invente la virgule et le point-virgule dans ses éditions des grands textes antiques (c'est aussi lui qui crée l'italique : trop fort🙂).

Bref, du Ve av. J.-C. au XVe siècle ap. J.-C. : il a fallu 20 siècles pour rendre nos textes lisibles.

Mais aujourd'hui, des zoulous de la "Gen. Z" ont décidé que tout ceci était "froid et condescendant".

Le raisonnement est délicieux : les points en fin de phrase, la majuscule en début... font perdre un peu de temps, quand on pianote sur un écran.
Certes, cela rend les messages bien plus lisibles, pour celui à qui le message s'adresse; mais cela demande à celui qui le rédige un petit effort supplémentaire.
Et ça, c'est pas cool.

Résultat : si je refuse de faire un effort pour les autres, et que je les oblige à en faire un... je ne suis pas une grosse feignasse égocentrique.
Non : je manifeste, tout au contraire, combien je suis cool et sympa.

Question de génération, surement.
Ok boomer, tout ça, tout ça...

Mais j'avoue, pour ma part, que je trouve ce genre de philosophie un zest paradoxal.
Voire un peu agaçant.🙂
