London has an ambitious housing target of 88,000 new homes per year — yes, per year — over the next decade. This is part of a broader national goal to create upwards of 1.5 million homes in the UK. It's an admirable goal, but the city appears destined to fail. According to a recent FT article by John Burn-Murdoch (their chief data reporter), London saw just 5,891 housing starts last year, which is 94% below its annual target and represents a 75% year-over-year decline. When compared to many o...

The release of a new tranche of his private communications this month by the Department of Justice has ignited further public interest in the case, turning Epstein and his crimes into a landmark event in American culture. The whole ...

Problem“Systemic failures limit who can access mental and social wealth. Mental Wealth Academy aims to fix this through DAO infrastructure.”My grandparents were alive during the segregation era. Fortunately, my mom is one of the few black women that works at Pfizer and has been there for 40+ years. The goal is making her proud, but to do that I must first prove to her the years I took away from my Masters in Psychology, and put into crypto were worth it. Reaching our funding goal of $30k is o...

gm zm I’m traveling back home from Boulder today. It feels like I just stepped out of something important — something that hasn’t even fully materialized yet. I can’t completely explain it.
