Hope multiple people have a come to Jesus talk with Sark about hiring an offensive coordinator. 5 years in and our offensive guru coach can’t figure out how to consistently have an offense.

US fertility reached 1.57 last year, the lowest ever recorded, and the WSJ explanation is "uncertainty about finances, relationship stability, and the political climate" my great grandma had eleven children during the second world war, in a country being bombed, in a house with no running water, on rations. poor people have always had kids. the poorest people on earth right now still have kids and the financial excuse is a story we tell ourselves because it makes us feel good and the real one is unbearable the real mechanism is that we got rich enough to redefine children as an expense instead of the point. somewhere in the last fifty years the cultural goal inverted and a child stopped being what life is for and became a line item competing with the lifestyle. once you frame it that way the math never works, because the math isnt supposed to work. that's the point we are living in the richest moment in human history and we decided to use the surplus to buy ourselves out of the future. the most prosperous civilization that has ever existed is committing demographic suicide at the altar of personal optimization and comfort, and the official line is that we cant afford it the birthrate is a lagging indicator of a civilization that forgot why it was alive

will home prices be discounted for cyber monday?

A 0-1 record can't stop The Reheat from coming back. We microwave and react to Ohio State over on @insidetexas. Schadenfreude of the week, along with Sark's redzone woes and where the hype train is at. on3.com/teams/texas-longhorn…

Who is actually buying houses right now?

This is so cool. I wanted to play devils advocate with ai, and the fact that it can riff with you and explore an idea even if ultimately false is incredible. Most people are unwilling to consider anything different: nitter.siddz.com/i/grok/share/5S7GnfvDq…

I wrote a book! Pre-Order The Longhorn Alphabet: Texas Football A to Z today. The perfect way for kids and their families to start bonding over @TexasFootball #hookem #texasfight longhornalphabet.com/product…

The lack of kid-friendly restaurants in Austin that aren't breweries is so rough. What I really mean is the lack of restaurants that don't have an area for kids to be kids.

Proud of all these longhorns goin to the draft. We’ll miss them, but I’m grateful where they got us back to and excited to see them in the NFL

Why isn’t there Uber for plumbers or handymen?

Mental health awareness is on the rise. People are spending upwards of $130/week on therapy while ignoring their physical health. How do we help people improve their physical health, too?

We prioritize efficiency way too much. I see this with coffee shops, you see this with shopping, and then we also wonder why making friends is hard. Bring back neighborhood coffee shops and restaurants and give people a reason to prioritize investing their time there.

Does anybody know anyone on the product team OR BI team at @simplepractice? Missing some pretty integral tracking data

Restaurants really haven't cracked loyalty systems yet. Such an opportunity there.

Kids (4 years old+) in the 1800s and early 1900s had to work 10-17 hour days. We have it so easy

Growing up in Houston, every neighborhood had a pool. There is such an opportunity to create pool environments in Austin. Barton springs doesn’t cut it for how many are here now.

It’s amazing how many things get complicated

I’ve always thought a lot about how decisions we make affect our mental health for both the short and long term. Now having two girls, I think about it way way more. May start writing about it.

What therapists have the best websites? What content are people engaging with from therapists?

Watching March Madness and bowl season/superbowl has me convinced Soccer + eSports is doing it right. No commercials, focus is on entertainment for 45-2 hours straight. Commercials kill all excitement.
