The Austin apartment market is heating up very rapidly:
I’m sure my view here is uninformed, but it feels like because they’ve has the biggest platform, the most consumers, and the biggest content budget, they’ve felt like the quality of their shows doesn’t matter that much as long as they’re always coming out with new stuff.

I'm happy $NFLX is doing poorly for the purely selfish reason that I need better shows to watch. Their shows have become garbage. Maybe this will motivate them to do better
Good one. These shifts are so slow that it sometimes takes 15-20 years to notice the change. Like in 2026 of course a growing company or sports franchise (say MLB) would pick Nashville over Portland, Oregon but in say 2012 that would’ve been laughed at.

@conorsen In Castaway he’s mad that the Titans went to Nashville over Memphis and I remember thinking “yeah that doesn’t make sense, that’s a reasonable reaction.”
you get the last available front row seat to Odyssey in IMAX
Just thinking about poor broccoli, cauliflower, raspberry, and blackberry producers right now. Wonder who the perfect guest would be.
Has AI created any FOMO with consumers the way the early iPhones did?
Pretty fascinating how the two biggest shortages in “media” right now are compute and 70MM IMAX screens. @DKThomp
You asked, we answered!
Here’s the behind the scenes of getting ready for The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm at Cinemark Dallas XD and IMAX in Dallas, TX.
While filming, The Odyssey used 2.1 million feet of film, with the end print weighing 846 lbs! 🤯

Just say no to wholesale LLM-posting.
LLMs can help with a draft or a copy edit, but cmon folks. You know when you're crossing the line into pure LLM-ese. Ethics aside, it's just bad taste.

If UC-Berkeley, UCSB, UCLA, etc can all be prestigious I see no reason why it can’t work for Vandy-Nashville, Vandy-Manhattan etc.
@CKlosterman's bold prediction for 2050 😂
Chloe Fineman Leaves 'SNL' After 7 Seasons: 'I'm Going to Miss It a Lot'
The Sophie Cunningham VP take was just incredible content alpha. Wasn’t on anyone’s big board.
The numbers are in... Atlanta, you crushed it! 😍

Looks like they modified a rated R Chick-fil-A cow to make it rated PG.
@thomaswheatley @ATLUTD My favorite. Hard to tell if this cow player wears a visor or they covered that up too?
I was bracing for some sort of negative World Cup event in Atlanta, but from my perspective the whole thing rocked, everyone had a great time, and I just hope we get it back soon.
@jturek18 MS have a compelling argument that there may be another round of frontloading occurring next year ahead of the election when permitting and other issues become harder.

Investors are pricing out the chance of a recession. Respondents to the latest BofA fund manager survey see a 54% of "no landing" for the economy, a record, w/only 2% seeing a hard landing. Sentiment is the most bullish since February; 83% see no Fed rate hikes before midterms

Why are people trying to do this again? I thought it was just something people wanted to complain about all the time, not actually change.
