a horror movie made for $750,000 is about to become one of the most profitable films ever made. Obsession - shot in 20 days in Alabama by a 26-year-old YouTuber with no stars in the cast - is now eyeing a $250 million box office finish. that's a return north of 300 times its budget. it's already the highest-grossing release in Focus Features history. now look at what the industry spent that same money on: - Joker: Folie a Deux - ~$200 million budget. a punchline. - Mickey 17 - ~$118 million. forgotten in a month. - The Mandalorian & Grogu - $165 million, 7 years, the entire Lucasfilm machine. it's currently losing the weekday box office to... Obsession. Hollywood keeps insisting you need $200 million, a pre-sold IP, and a marketing budget the size of a small country to make a hit. then a guy with a camera, a wish-granting toy, and three weeks in Alabama outearned all of them on a rounding error of their catering bill. the most profitable movie of the year cost less than a single second of screen time in the average blockbuster. turns out audiences never wanted the budget. they wanted a good movie.

I’d like to give Brandon Turner sincere credit for this post on IG. He fully owned up to the loss of LP capital publicly. Explained his responsibility, which is the most important, along with the market factors the affected the downfall of this deal. This is exactly how a sponsor should transparently communicate when something like this happens. It doesn’t make the loss of capital easier, but I have true respect for people that take ownership. The guru class has butchered the handling of their errors over the past 5 years. Brandon is the first one I’ve seen to step forward and address it. Credit where credit is due. Bravo.

This question is asked at Citadel for $650k/year roles: If you have one bucket filled with 3 gallons of water and another bucket filled with 2 gallons of water, how many buckets do you have? 99% of people fail

How’s this

Well, that was a crazy turn of events. Three weeks ago, I thought Parker was going to be acquired in a deal worth nearly $90M. Yesterday, we filed for Chapter 7. I spent most of my twenties building Parker. We went from an idea in YC to processing over $1B in annualized volume, pioneered products that became standard across fintech, and built something I believed could last for decades. And now it’s over. I know there’s going to be speculation about why Parker failed, but a lot of what’s being said online is simply not accurate. Over the last few years, we faced leadership turnover, a much tougher market, slowing growth, and the realities of trying to scale a venture-backed business after momentum fades. Earlier this year, we decided the best path forward was to pursue a sale of the business. We ran a process and spent months working toward a potential acquisition that ultimately did not close. After that, things moved quickly. The hardest part is the impact on the people involved: •Customers dealing with disruption •Employees losing jobs they worked hard for •Investors who believed in us losing money What I am proud of is the team. Parker was built by incredibly talented people who deserved a better outcome than this. Helping them land somewhere great is my top priority right now. If you’re hiring operators, engineers, designers, finance, credit, or growth talent, please reach out. To everyone who believed in Parker over the years: thank you.

Let me explain Dallas(s) 1. The summers are unbearable and this cannot be understood without moving there. You can't just visit Texas for 3 weeks in peak summer and understand it, because that's not why it's bad. It's bad because it's late October and it's 90 and you're questioning your sanity as to whether not it will ever end. 2. Dallas' culture, superficially seems good, but once you dig down... 3. Dallas living is about the airport. You save money in Dallas and then fly out all the time because being in Dallas is rough. Airline travel in the US has declined a lot, so this way of life works less well. 4. The driving. It's dangerous. You need a tank and you're going to be sitting in it all the time. Dallas sort of seems like a city but it's not really. It's more like an area. 5. You can trade 3% state income tax for better weather, more trees, and fewer problems. I think Dallas is a solid place to live in a bigger house with A/C and grind for money aggressively for a short period of time and then move out of. Other than that, unless you are tied down there (job, family), I can't recommend it.

It brings me great pain to say this is a good idea and fair.

Who is vibecoding a directory of local businesses that *aren't* owned by private equity? If possible I'd like to never give another dollar to the organizations destroying our social fabrics
