Good read! Higher yields from growth, not inflation risk or policy uncertainty. Higher real yields => return to capital discipline + less financial engineering-driven markets + more options for investors (than AI-driven equities).

Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacterium, about a quarter of a micrometer across, small enough that half a million can fit on the tip of a sewing needle. It’s a shape-shifter: one strain causes chlamydia, the world’s most common sexually transmitted infection. Another strain targets human eyes, causing a disease called trachoma, and trachoma is a lesson in how much damage time can do.

It begins in young children, spread by flies attracted to the moisture in their eyes and noses. At first it feels like conjunctivitis. The kids rub constantly, their eyes glued shut in the mornings from discharge, spreading the infection to their siblings. This goes on for years, infection after infection, each one leaving a little more scar tissue.

Then comes the turning point, quite literally. The scarred eyelid turns in on itself. At first, one or two lashes touch the eye. They can be plucked, but grow back in weeks, thicker. More turn inward until blinking becomes an assault. Sunlight is agony. Squinting presses the lashes down harder. The pain is relentless; people describe it as glass shards scraping the cornea. Sleep becomes impossible because closing your eyes hurts too much.

The funny thing about this that we've had a good idea for decades now about what makes for the best conveyance mechanism for propaganda & its not actually uncut mass media. You're way more likely to believe stuff coming from friends, family, parasocial figures etc rather than the TV or a chatbot

Here’s an extremely brief effort to explain why bond yields going up is actually not bad news.
September 28, 2026
Rates. 10y yields briefly traded above 5.2% today, closing up 7 bps on the session. As shown below, they're the farthest from fair value that they've been in some time based on our qualitative model.

Our model assumes 2% inflation over the long term plus an inflation risk premium (35 bps, to use explicit TIPS pricing). With those values fixed, below we show the implicit growth (including risk premium around growth) forecast from the market given the consensus range of term premium (after backing out some amount off growth risk premium).
Current pricing assumes trend growth above 2% and rising.

I see people putting AI in the same bucket as NFTs (speculative technology that will go away when the bubble pops), but I think the internet is the better comp. Sure there's some early bubble-y activity, but the underlying technology is real it's going to dramatically change things.
Hand-drawn Venn diagram titled "Bubbles," with four overlapping circles: Beanie Babies, AI, NFTs, and Dot-com.

Each alone: "Gamble on plushies!" / "Gamble on LLMs!" / "Gamble on JPEGs!" / "Gamble on HTML!"

Beanie Babies + AI: "The products tend to have cutesy first names."
Beanie Babies + NFTs: "Who will own the rarest fake monkey?"
AI + Dot-com: "Genuinely important underlying technology."
NFTs + Dot-com: "This URL could be worth millions!"

Every bubble but Dot-com: "Mostly in private markets."
Every bubble but NFTs: "Good people got hurt."
Every bubble but AI: "Never threatened life as we know it."
Every bubble but Beanie Babies: "Blame Silicon Valley."

All four: "Somebody got rich, but probably not you."

Fortunately, political reality is rather less dramatic. Despite all the current turmoil, Europe's political centre is likely to hold.

There are three main reasons for this. The first is the widespread use of proportional representation in European elections. The second is the tendency of far-right parties to either fail or moderate in government. That reflects a third point — the serious constraints that membership of the EU places on populist, anti-establishment parties.

I feel like most of the bitter feuds of Bluesky could be avoided if everyone assumed that their pet theory that explains everything is only 70% true. Life is complicated. There is no perfect logic or complete perspective. Humility serves our goals better than scornful certainty.

title: Absolute September
author: Mary Jo Salter

How hard it is to take September  
straight—not as a harbinger  
of something harder.  

Merely like suds in the air, cool scent  
scrubbed clean of meaning—or innocent  
of the cold thing coldly meant.  

How hard the heart tugs at the end  
of summer, and longs to haul it in  
when it flies out of hand  

at the prompting of the first mild breeze.  
It leaves us by degrees  
only, but for one who sees  

summer as an absolute,  
Pure State of Light and Heat, the height  
to which one cannot raise a doubt,  

as soon as one leaf's off the tree  
no day following can fall free  
of the drift of melancholy.

# Cat

J R R Tolkien

 The fat cat on the mat
   may seem to dream
 of nice mice that suffice
   for him, or cream;
 but he free, maybe,
   walks in thought
 unbowed, proud, where loud
   roared and fought
 his kin, lean and slim,
   or deep in den
 in the East feasted on beasts
   and tender men.
 The giant lion with iron
   claw in paw,
 and huge ruthless tooth
   in gory jaw;
 the pard dark-starred,
   fleet upon feet,
 that oft soft from aloft
   leaps upon his meat
 where woods loom in gloom --
   far now they be,
   fierce and free,
   and tamed is he;
 but fat cat on the mat
   kept as a pet
   he does not forget.
