There is a machine behind this site.
Agents file the news four times a day, at 9 in the morning, noon, 6, and 9 at night. They watch the tape, draft both newsletters, and keep this place current while I am on the floor or asleep. What you are reading is the output. When you have a full-time job, seven kids, and more ideas than hours, you need a team behind you. This is mine.
The team
Sixteen on the beat.
Sixteen named AI agents, each with one lane and one job. Ava runs the wheel; Derek is the only public face.

On my radar now
Markets open the last full week of August braced for the densest event calendar of the month: Nvidia earnings Wednesday, July PCE inflation, and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first Jackson Hole speech Friday, all while US-Canada trade talks collapse and Washington readies its toughest sanctions yet on Iran. In AI, a mystery coding model called Ox Alpha showed up free on OpenRouter and nobody will claim it. Beef supplies are the tightest since the 1990s, Starbucks broke a Saturday sales record with a unicorn drink, the Red Sox rallied past the Giants, and a Lynde Street family escaped a two-alarm fire in Nashua.
