  1. Sydney, you were a dream of warmth and ease. When I returned to wintry Melbourne, time collapsed – and the city was still romantic
    By Brigid Delaney

    A few years after graduating, I moved north and got lucky. It was like riding a smooth, perfect wave that would never hit the shore

  3. 📉 Ah, yes, because the old way of measuring #homeownership was just too *accurate* for some folks. 🙄 Leave it to the Federal Reserve to invent a metric that makes #renting your parent's basement sound like the American Dream. 🏡✨

    “There’s a New York now, keyed into professionalism and uniformity, that sees a guy like him and thinks something must be wrong. There’s an element to the city now that’s hostile to the life of the mind, to the eccentricity that might produce it.”

  8. What’s the average age of first-time homebuyers across Europe?

    Fewer than seven in ten EU households live in owner-occupied homes.

  10. My mum and step dad are going away 8-12th June, and said she won’t be able to help with moving that week. We can’t get keys on weekends. She told me to tell the letting agents I’m ready from the 15th.

    I really don’t want to piss off the landlord, who is already fed up with the delays. I can get my stuff moved with an extra person for £50. But it’s things like cleaning and fixing a few things, so I get my deposit back.

    Plus the longer I wait, less money I get back from days not lived here, which messes up my finances.

    I don’t know what to do.

  12. Landlords in NZ have perfected capitalism.
    Leasing a peace of land with self owned off-grid tiny house on it. No service or connections provide by the landlord, but charges more for a second person staying it the house not belonging to him.

    Charging more for nothing. Why? Becaus they can.

  13. Might lose the house, as the new landlord is worried about losing mone, while we wait for our photo id to turn up. Can’t even fast track a passport (1 day) because the kids have never had one. Can fast track for a week, but licences should be here by then. Plus couldn’t afford to do that.

    I’m really hoping the licences turn up asap. I’ve mentally moved into that house, and the lovely street.

  16. Shout-out to the Cambridge, MA community.

    I'm beginning an apartment search for a three-person household. Any leads in or around MIT would mean a lot.

    Boosts and local knowledge both very welcome !

  17. #Anthropic’s acquisition of all compute capacity at #xAI’s #Colossus1 data centre suggests xAI isn’t actively training its own #AImodels. This shift to a “neocloud” business model, #renting out #GPUs, raises questions about xAI’s innovative potential and its future profitability, especially as #SpaceX prepares for its IPO. techcrunch.com/2026/05/10/were #tech #media #news

  18. More on the shape of the support for the Green Party of England & Wales in Thursday local elections; they performed best in areas with lots of renters (which may be at least partly coterminous with the age profile posted about earlier today/yesterday).

  19. "While the effects of damp and mould on growing lungs have rightly gained salience, policymakers still turn a blind eye to how record-high rents threaten the life chances of our youngest and future generations"
