like a third of these videos are like "here's why young people will NEVER afford a home!!" and yes housing is too expensive, but: bsky.app/profile/odet...
After a delayed start, younger home buyers are gaining ground. Millennials are converting rising earnings and family formation into purchases in their 30s, reaching parity with Gen X by their early forties and poised to modestly surpass them.

Dr Hicks is an amazing communicator. Do yourself a favour and consider reaching out to her to speak at your conference next year.
Some speaker joy as we look back at 2025 and plan for public speaking in 2026!

The goal isn't eliminating people. It's eliminating toil. Humans excel at context and judgment calls. Automation excels at consistent execution and inhuman scale. Progressive Delivery leverages both strengths for capabilities greater than either alone.

Well, firstly today, it’s the 121st anniversary of this article from The Spokane Press
![Press cutting: MARRIED HIM BECAUSE HE WAS FOND OF CATS. Now Mrs. Steele and Her Husband Have All Kinds of Fe-line Pets in Their Home. [Montage of photos features a black cat, a women holding three kittens, and a pair of cats] Text: DES MOINES, Ia., Nov. 25.-"Will, you be my wife?" "I don't know. Do you like cats?" "Yes, I am passionately fond of them." “Then I will marry you." Thus was the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Steele of Des Moines arranged. Today they reside in a cozy cottage. They have no children, but the place is a paradise for cats. The Steeles Victoria kennels are the finest in the west, and contain scores of beautiful specimens of Angora, Persian and many other varieties of blooded cats. Mrs. Steele passed her early youth with a maiden aunt. When tiny Marion would come home with hungry and bedraggled kitten, rescued from the tortures of street urchins, the aunt would give her a sound thrashing and drive the cat away. "I married the first man I met who loved cats," she says, "and we are as happy as two kittens." Mrs. Steele has published a book upon cats.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vckf3haopb3yncclmf7o2m3f/bafkreihipte65yy2fmltdtd4wkv72xsxdgha7cjbzejmw7grdqhg7cmsha@jpeg)

I mean, a person who:
- demonstrably plans ahead,
- is considerate,
- thinks outside the box, and
- can cook?
You could really do worse than date that person.

So far so good! It fundamentally changes how you consume music though. You can't just open someone's playlist, or listen to one generated with recommendations.

One of the most creative work days I have had in a while. Lots of cool things coming together, before ending the day with a great call with IBM, a key client. I always enjoy Q4.

this is beautiful simple but effective staging for Joe Armon Jones recent show at Saint Johns Church, Hackney. a simple idea, so well executed. My guy Dan McGeady did the production. If you're running a gig or event he's absolutely on top of his game. hit him up.
