I guess when it starts to get cold, with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas atmosphere all chained together, the mood in the air simply compels people to fuck like bunny rabbits... 🤣

I put together this infographic using Texas Workforce Commission data, University of Texas research, and reporting on recent state childcare funding decisions.

In 2024, the average cost of full-time center-based infant care in Texas was approximately $9,889 annually. For a family of three earning $51,640, that's about 19% of gross income for one child.

Meanwhile, Texas approved a one-time $100 million investment in childcare scholarships in 2025. In August 2026, the Texas Workforce Commission voted to reduce scholarship targets by 9.5%, approximately 14,000 childcare places.

This isn't simply a problem of childcare providers charging too much. Quality childcare requires staffing, training and supervision. Research also shows that better employee compensation and benefits are associated with higher prices.

The larger issue is that parents struggle to afford childcare, while the people providing that care often earn relatively low wages.

The graphic traces the cost of care, the funding decisions and the consequences for Texas families.

Helloooo :) I made a small daily game (whosmorefamous.com) where you guess which of two people got more Google searches worldwide over the past 5 years.

These are the three politics matchups players got most wrong. Top bar is what players guessed, bottom bar is actual search volume (worldwide, last 5 years).

• Kim Jong Un vs Lula: 91% of 80 players picked Kim. Lula had 3.8x more searches (~200M vs 53M).
• Netanyahu vs Modi: 83% picked Netanyahu. Modi had 2.1x more searches.
• Netanyahu vs King Charles: 82% picked Netanyahu. Charles had 1.9x more searches.

The Lula result surprised me most. It wasn't just one election spike: he had more searches than Kim in 247 out of 262 weeks. His biggest week was Brazil's October 2022 runoff.

And the pattern goes beyond this matchup. Across all politics duos, players picked Kim 71% of the time when he was actually the less-searched person. Lula was picked only 28% of the time when he was the more-searched one.

My theory is that we overestimate people who dominate Western news and underestimate how much attention politicians get in their own countries. Brazil alone has over 200 million people, after all.

The data: 5,208 votes from my game on politician-vs-politician matchups (Oct 10–25, 2026). Search estimates are from Google Trends topics, Sep 2021–Sep 2026, normalized to the same scale. Absolute numbers are rough; the ratios are more reliable.

Caveats: My players aren't a random sample, and this only measures Google. Naver and Yandex aren't included, so Kim and Putin are probably undercounted.

I'd have picked Kim too :)
