Everyone wants to live within a walkable distance to a place like this, with a bakery, a butcher, a tailor, a bookstore, a barber, a cafe and various other businesses within walking distance. A farmer's market every weekend. Safe and free of criminals. Church bells. Schoolhouse. Trustworthy neighbours. A mayor who is a good person and wears a top hat. Is this too much to ask for?

[Lisa Morrow @lisanmorrow]

Agree. Time has been the great equalizer. Now that it's been hacked, the middle disappears.

UBI becomes the floor, a person can have stuff and simulated experiences. The top will get access to the real world: travel, nature, ownership, beauty.

Definitely feels like a race for assets over the next 5 years. I can't see it taking long before nothing changes hands.

A phenomenon known as "The Cougar's Shadow" emerges in Arizona's Superstition Mountains. It only appears twice a year.

This is such a great idea

i read about a woman who holds "office hours" for her friends - she sits in a coffee shop for like 4 hours every week and lets people know that anyone is welcome to come and chit chat and this is actually a great idea. thursdays at union coffee from 4-6, be there or be square.

Just talked to a guy on Long Island who runs a front-porch flower subscription biz for $90 – $145 per planter per season.

He’s got a horticulture degree, but he’s also a full-time cop. This is his side hustle.

He swaps out flowers 4 times a year & nets about $60 profit per planter.

With his ~100 customers, that’s $10k profit per season.

He pre-builds the inserts at home, drops them in, and hauls away the old stuff - super streamlined.

Referrals are huge, and now realtors want to gift these planters to new homeowners.

He started landscaping at 12 and never imagined a simple “flower swap” model would blow up like this.

Full interview below.

@thatsKAIZEN Great advice.

[Phillip Jackson @PEJ1952]

There are many reasons to lament getting old, and very few to welcome it.

Putting aside the obvious cons (you lose a lot of your youthful mobility and virility), there's one unexpected blessing. I won't live in a world dominated by artificial intelligence.

It took me four long years of concentrated research and reflection to produce my doctoral thesis. That process taught me how to reason and think. I wasn't handed the answer by a clever algorithm; I had to figure it out all on my own.

AI may make life easier, but doesn't necessarily make it more fulfilling. I just saw a commercial where someone was extolling the virtues of AI to build a quick and efficient website. If I was in a hurry I'd want that too.

But then I think back to the various business and personal projects I've undertaken in my life where I had to conceive, build, and implement the details. It may have taken longer, and not have been as neat and tidy as if AI had done it for me. But with every project I learned more and more how to be creative, efficient, and successful.

Which mean even in my 70s, I don't need to rely on someone to tell me what to think or do. I have the knowledge and experience to figure the essential things out myself.

AI can be a tremendously helpful, like calculators and computers have been in my life. But I don't look to them for "answers" to anything; just tools to help me reach the answers that make the most sense.

The temptation to rely on AI both for the direction and answers to the important things in life will be too strong to resist if the person using it hasn't developed these skills on their own. And given the upswing in stories about high school and college students using AI to write their papers, I don't see how that temptation will ever be overcome for the majority of people.

The best news yet.

[Leading Report @LeadingReport]

BREAKING: Trump administration has allegedly located between 75,000 and 80,000 of the over 300,000 missing migrant children, according to Harris Faulkner of Fox News.

[Lisa Morrow @lisanmorrow]

@alexisohanian @IvankaTrump I think we can do better - a full year of paid leave would make the US the most generous country in the world for new parents. Perhaps we could partially fund it by redirecting savings from reduced SNAP, WIC, and TANF reliance. Cost would be ~ $180B annually.

[Lisa Morrow @lisanmorrow]

@NYPDnews Great news.
