Around half of Seattle businesses report that are considering moving or shrinking, blaming a business environment that they say is getting worse and don’t believe it looks like it will get better, according to a survey from the Downtown Seattle Association and Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. kiro7.com/news/local/survey-…

One week into the season and Anthony Edwards, Jalen Williams, Paolo Banchero, Kawhi Leonard, Jaren Jackson Jr., Cason Wallace and Jalen Suggs have gone down with significant injuries. Plus three preseason Achilles tears.

with lots of tech layoffs happening, its a good reminder:

This is a bizarre and relatively arrogant take. There is value in running in different types of circles. I abandoned nearly everything I knew and moved across the continent for my career, but my highschool friends still represent a lot of perspectives I don't have because of the tech bubble I'm in. I wouldn't classify them as ambitious necessarily, but they are well-read and try their best to keep up with what is going on.
I have childhood friends scattered across the globe. Some are highly successful, but in Europe or Asia. Some have become stay-at-homes moms.
This is not uncommon, and what you're identifying is probably a false flag for the most part.

Firmly firmly firmly disagree with this take.
If you actually ripped in high school (ie crushed it in a sport or did something else at a very high level) you made life long friends in the trenches.
My swimming and rowing friends almost all went on to Ivy League colleges and are killing it in life today.
painfully accurate
from what I’ve observed, if you’re still friends with your high school friends, you either:
1) didn’t grow yourself / moved back home and not to a city / kind of peaked
or
2) you went to an amazing high school and still friends with them because you’re all ambitious together
no middle ground from what I’ve seen

or, and hear me out: you can be plenty ambitious, move from your hometown, but still cherish and value those who helped shape you into who you are today and do your best to keep in touch (and see them when you're back).
skill issue if you can't manage both.

It is just near impossible to get ahead in America in 2026 by being smart and working hard. Much better to be born even moderately rich. The value of labor has never been lower and it's getting worse fast.

HILARIOUS: Justine Bateman BLASTS filmmakers for making AWFUL films because they’re catering to the WOKE MOB, dropping an amazing example: “Film festivals have done this too, where they'll take a film that is where the filmmaker is a one-legged albino from Alaska with two g*y mommies, and that checks those boxes, but the film's not very good.”
