The Blueprint to Unleashing Citywide Takeovers for Real Estate Domination with Jason Palliser

Key Takeaways Jason Palliser built a 34-strategy lead generation system that allows investors to dominate their market without a marketing budget. His biggest lesson came from nearly losing tens of thousands on a flip, which he salvaged through lease option strategies and collaboration. His favorite technology is a custom automation tool that follows up with motivated leads and funnels them through specialized landing pages to increase conversion. United States Real Estate Investor Real Estate Investing Success Tampa with Jason Palliser https://youtu.be/h26h-NoBekY Follow and subscribe to Real Estate Investing Success worldwide on your favorite podcast platform. spotify apple amazon iheart pocket castbox overcast pandora United States Real Estate Investor United States Real Estate Investor Inside the Mind of a Real Estate Machine Builder In this explosive episode of Real Estate Investing Success, the spotlight lands on Jason Palliser—a man who doesn’t just play the real estate game. He redesigns the board entirely. Known for his powerful “Two-Day Investment Blueprint,” Jason brings an arsenal of 34 off-market lead strategies that overwhelm the competition and eliminate the need for traditional marketing budgets. He’s not just building a business. He’s crafting a system. One that transforms average investors into takeover artists capable of owning their city—deal after deal, lead after lead. Freedom, Not Fortune, Fuels the Mission Palliser doesn’t chase dollars. He chases freedom. After years in the funding world watching investors live a relaxed, wealth-driven lifestyle while he clocked hours as a banker, he decided to flip the script. His career pivot wasn’t about adding zeros—it was about escaping constraints. And through that shift, he built something few can match. From TV Fame to Tactical Warfare After working with household names like Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Flipping Boston, Jason had options. But he chose to walk away from the speaking circuit and tech support madness. Why? To go all in on what works—building complete, tactical investment machines for individual investors ready to scale. The result? His Two-Day Blueprint was born—a real estate battle plan tailored to dominate every niche, from absentee owners to junk removal leads. The Moment It All Nearly Fell Apart Behind the success, there's always a scar. Jason’s most painful stumble came from arrogance—a dangerous overconfidence in his funding access. He believed that because he had the capital, he could fix any flip gone sideways. But one wrong deal taught him a ruthless lesson. He bought a property expecting a hefty return, but as the market cooled, the offers shrank. He rejected a modest profit hoping for a better deal, only to be left holding a losing asset. Payments stacked. Options dwindled. The flip that was supposed to shine became a weight around his neck. And yet, it was through this exact struggle that Palliser discovered the power of lease options. By collaborating with other investors, he salvaged the deal, collected upfront payments, and eventually sold the property at a profit years later. It was a storm, but he navigated through—scarred but stronger. The Tech That Turns Leads Into Contracts Automatically Jason’s favorite technology isn’t flashy—it’s lethal. He’s built a custom system that automatically follows up with motivated leads, tailored to each of his 34 lead sources. Whether it’s a tax-delinquent homeowner or an expired listing, the system delivers the right message at the right time, without delay. This platform doesn’t just follow up. It houses dedicated websites for each type of distressed seller. When a property owner visits a tax-assistance landing page, it’s not just an offer—it’s a strategic ambush. One that converts skepticism into signed contracts. “When a lead shows up, we already know what they need—and we’re ready to solve it instantly.” Not Just Success—Predictable, Sustainable Success

What drives Jason today? Sustainability. He’s not interested in flashy wins or one-time flips. He’s obsessed with building machines that deliver predictable contracts, every single month. That’s what he calls success: knowing the machine will spin and produce, without fail. “Success is waking up with absolute clarity, knowing you’ll close multiple deals monthly—no guesswork, no stress.” Real Estate Reimagined Through Ruthless Precision Jason Palliser doesn’t teach investors to compete, he teaches them to dominate. His strategy isn’t about sending another postcard or dialing more numbers. It’s about flipping the game board, redefining the rules, and walking away with the prize before others even show up. With the tools, the tech, and the tenacity to back it up, Palliser proves that success in real estate isn’t just possible—it’s predictable. For those willing to build the blueprint, the city is theirs for the taking.

United States Real Estate Investor Contact Jason Palliser 2 Day Investment Blueprint United States Real Estate Investor Favorite Technology Jason Palliser’s Favorite Technology Jason’s favorite technology is his custom-built follow-up and lead conversion system. This internal platform does three powerful things: Automated Lead Follow-Up: Every lead from his 34 acquisition channels is immediately followed up with, using tailored messaging for that specific lead type. Niche-Specific Websites: For high-value leads like tax-delinquent owners, his system uses dedicated websites disguised as public assistance programs. This earns trust and triggers inbound contact from motivated sellers. Conversion Without Pressure: Because leads reach out willingly, the sales process feels less like persuasion and more like guidance. “The tech does the heavy lifting,” he explains. “It follows up, nurtures, and converts while I focus on strategy.” It’s not just tech—it’s a silent partner that turns leads into deals with ruthless consistency.

Jason, welcome to the show. Thanks for being here. Hey, thank you. Happy to be here. All right. So are you ready to talk some real estate investing with me today? Yeah, absolutely hit me with anything you want. I'm ready to roll. Awesome. Awesome Okay, so before we get into the business part of things, how about you tell us a little bit about your personal life? Okay, so Born and raised in st. Louis kind of like you three four years ago said With my wife hey, I've been here 40-something years. I've seen the arch. I know what it looks like Let's move to someplace warm kind of like we talked about before we started today, right? Right right down in st. Pete St. Pete slash Tampa in Florida for the last three and a half years and it's wonderful and there's no state income tax. So That's what we love to do we love travel and We love being active tennis racquetball all the fun stuff. So On the personal side, that's kind of what we do my wife does National Pet Rescue and stuff like that for ASPCA vet tech stuff. And so that's really rewarding. I did my first foster because she Said hey you can do it I was nervous about fostering our first puppy and we did and Then I grew attached to her. So when it came time to somebody else to adopt her I had I had some

real feelings about that so That's what on the personal level it's kind of what we do love travel and Love supporting her taking care of any animal that needs help. Awesome. Awesome. That's good. That's good How many how many animals you got in the house so far? we have two that are we have a 14 year old which is her pride and joy named Monty and little pogo and then we have a Chihuahua who Feels like he's a 150 pound dog, even though he's six pounds. So that's Right now, right, right. Yeah. Yeah, my daughter. She loves loves loves pets. She's yeah, she's crazy about him So Jason you are the creator of the two-day investment blueprint. It is a blueprint that's designed to take investors To grow into a six to seven figure real estate investing business. Tell us a little bit about that and why you created it Oh, yeah, so I've been in this space for 23 years I've been investment banking for 26 specializing private money hard hard money lending and And also getting bank financing for investors strictly strictly work with investors on that. So about three years into that I Realized I would leave a closing as a banker and helping out an investor get funding, right? They would walk out and high-five me and they make 50 grand and I'm leaving the closing as a banker making two grand I'm like, wait a second. I got a degree in finance. This math doesn't work for me so I transitioned to what I call the dark side, which was investing myself for the last 23 years and So what happened is is a bigger companies like rich dad poor dad Flipping Boston TV show stuff like that. They started hiring me for my Funding expertise because I was top 100 in the nation for funding and I knew every investment program There was I could get funding on almost anything. But what quickly transition was they're like, wow, you're doing lots of deals They're like man. What are you doing to get to those deals? and I saw the value and just diving really deep into the marketing side of things like how do I How do I get to all the off-market properties first? So they started asking me to create these programs Centered around the front end of the business which is getting to everything first and From there I created a software called rei black book Some of your listeners may may know what that is. It's a real estate automation tool. It's used by Kiyosaki and some other people that private label it and gurus at private label it around the nation that Listeners would know and I'm so what happened where the blueprint came was that I got tired of speaking for all these places and hey go to Seattle and teach owner financing for the weekend or lead generation and so I canceled about 20 speaking contracts and Sold the software company so I didn't get 300 support emails a day anymore Which is a dream come true between me you and the listeners. Yeah, and so people for years said hey Can you hey that map that you're showing us that organized map where you attack a city 34 ways? so most investors know five or six ways to get an off-market property and we have 34 and the reason for that is that In the course of doing all the speaking and stuff some larger companies like what we call institutional money or hedge fund players Said hey, look, we need 40 homes a month. We need 50 homes a month. We need 4,000 homes in Dallas in 60 months it we heard you the guy that can put together an engine that'll do that Which I just simply called a blueprint It turned into the two-day blueprint because these companies like man in two days you literally lay out the blueprint So that's where the two-day blueprint came from and about five six years ago. I started doing it for individual investors So if you can imagine for years at the TV show stuff people raising their hand or when we go on a break They're like hey come here And you think you could build me that same map and then off-market attack and I said look I'm too busy Speaking doing 10 to 15 deals a month doing private money blah

blah blah And so once I sold all that stuff and canceled those speaking contracts I'm like, hey I will do an official off-market blueprint build out for you and literally attack the city 34 ways all the way down doing Direct mail for free if they do it exactly how we want them to do and be in 30,000 mailboxes Which took me 11 years to figure that out So that's where the two-day blueprint came from is that people are like man over two days You can literally take over a city and not do the same five things like a vacant list a high equity list and let's do some text messaging and and I'm so There's a better way to attack a marketplace So that's what the two-day blueprint came from and we do about nine or ten of those build outs a year, man That's incredible. That's that's awesome. That's I mean, there's no better word to use then awesome That's pretty that's pretty cool, man. I love hearing that and inspection is especially kind of Bringing it into the tech space which a lot of a lot of investors don't really thoroughly think that that's even an option You know, but you you did it. That's that's incredible. I love it. Well here's the people that are listening Antonio I've never wrote a line of code in my life. I'm not some Technical wizard. I just hired the people and said hey, can you make it do this? Which would save me a lot of time and energy. Hey, could you make this part of the? Investment machine, can you create a widget that does this and and pay them to do it and then put it all together that so Anybody can do it. So yeah. Yeah So you may actually have answered this next question. I'm gonna answer it asking anyway What's what's the one word or phrase that comes to mind for the reason you got into real estate investing? That's that's a good question you asked me a really good question So the reason I did is I freedom I saw I saw the freedom that you know I'm I was on the funding side creating freedom for all these investors and they're like, oh, I'm going golfing and this and that oh my gosh, I got I got any more mortgage appointments today And again, I was doing that at a high level and making a pretty good living But their their lifestyle just seems so much more Relaxed and laid-back and they had freedom. So that's when I said, you know, and I I need to dive into this real estate investment sandbox and Once I did I never looked back. It's the it's the best business decision I've ever made What's your favorite part about being a real estate investor? helping homeowners and while also creating a win for The investment side of the business so it's finding a way to be a solution for a homeowner that needs some help An off-market homeowner that has some level of motivation and then getting the back end Win-win, which is depositing a large sum of money or getting a good short-term rental and having Very good cash flow. So That's that's what I love about it Now there's no way that all this time. You've been doing real estate investing that everything's been so perfect and beautiful There's no way okay So what was the time throughout the journey that you've had so far when you felt most unsuccessful oh That's easy so And I in in The the problems arose because of me as a byproduct So I walked around and I would say probably two years into me doing some real estate investing I was just getting some properties and fixing and flipping them. I started doing a couple rentals and Where the most difficult time for me was is that I walked around going? Wow, I I have all the knowledge and all the funding which everybody comes to me for that and everybody wants it So I've got all the money. So I was like man, I can this is great I'm gonna invest and I can do anything because I got the money I got I got access to the money and So I figured I could do any deal and work my way out of it just because I could get funding where most people may struggle with that right but what happened was is My attitude was a little cavalier

about it And so I was like, oh I can get this and do that and move this around and and so what happened was the market started to turn just a little bit not a lot just a little bit and I had a flip and That flip took extra time and in this I'm sure will resonate with most people and if you've been doing it a while You've run into some variation of this It costs a little bit more than I thought and it took a little bit more time When we put it on the market, you know I was all in at 225 and was trying to get 265 out of it The market started getting a little tighter people are making a little bit lower offers I I had an offer like 232 like man, I'm not gonna make seven grand on this I'm gonna I'm gonna reject that offer and just wait market turned a little bit more Then I dropped the sales price ten grand then people are making lower offers and what I had into it So I was just like oh gosh, I'm gonna I'm gonna take my I'm gonna take my first real estate investment black eye here. I could feel it coming right and I'm so What happened? Was the people that I had helped throughout the years get funding where they? Perceived that they were stuck and I helped them out on that side with the funding side I went to a few of them that do lease options and I'm like, what do I do here? I'm like I had an offer on the table That's gone where I could make a little bit of money and I just didn't want to do it But now I'm in a pickle. And so what they did was they showed me how to lease option the property So I had real heartburn. I'm like, wow, I'm gonna I'm gonna probably end up and I was making payments over time So now I'm in a position to where even if I sold it at 230 You know a little bit above what I originally had into it I've already made payments to where I'm gonna lose 5 10 15 grand maybe even 20 grand So they said hey, let's advertise this out. There's a lease with an option to buy so I found a couple ladies who wanted to do a lease with an option to buy and Got some money down fast forward. I release option that property over a seven-year period because I Renewed with the ladies and took some more non-refundable money down They were about 15 grand into it and but ultimately they couldn't get financing I got it. I got one other person in there that was renting it did the same thing at least with an option and Fast forward like seven years. I ended up selling it I want to say for 265 270, but they paid down my note over time So what looked like a world-class punch in the face ended up because I relied on other people's expertise That I had helped through the years ended up coming out a little bit ahead at the at the end But it was that was stressful. That was a stressful. I'd be lying if I didn't say I walk around and it consumed me during the day I got all these other things going on, but that was consuming me because I was like, what am I gonna do with it? Yeah, yeah, that was my worst spot Yeah that's that's what I always say man relationships are almost everything if not everything because if you don't have them you don't know where to Go or don't know where to turn just like you did when something starts going wrong and the lease options That's that's always one of the better options that real estate investing provides. It's pretty cool Yeah, no, it was I'm glad they showed it to me and quite frankly since I know the funding side of things Yeah, like I knew I knew what that person needed to do or clear up to qualify with my banker head on so That that technique had real sex appeal to me when the investors like let's approach it this way Because I knew why that person couldn't buy today. So I put in place. Hey, you need to do these things Ultimately the ladies didn't they had to clear up a couple things and then one of them took a job where they were self-employed So then they had to wait two years all that good stuff, right? But but that's why that that technique had sex appeal to me because I knew what they would need

to do to qualify So do you feel that uh your previous employment doing mortgages and things like that? Do you think that gives you a personal advantage in this industry? Yeah for this reason Countless times over the years people come to me like hey, man I've done some investment deals and now the banks are telling me I got to put more money down and I Wasn't prepared for that. And I'm so I walk around knowing when I'm looking at a property or making an offer I know what I can and can't do on the funding side. I know how much I'm gonna have to put down I know how long it might take for this type of deal to get funding so I can write a I can write a really good contract With the right dates on it and I know how much I'm gonna have to put down and the rug is not getting yanked out From underneath me quite frankly on the banking side That's that's where my business kind of grew because I got to a point where I didn't take on a single client Unless they went through a 22 question checklist and anybody that hears this. I'm happy to send it to you So I built my career on this is a 22 question investment checklist. It's a non-negotiable You have to read this so that you know what credit scores required after five deals that you have financed How much do you have to put down on your fifth deal? Can you do commercial deal on a residential house? So all these things were the people make mistakes. I created a spreadsheet on that. That's that's how I kicked off the Investment funding banking side of my career and that's that's awesome. That's totally vital. That's excellent. I love that Wow Good good job, man You're the insider that everybody needs. You know that Wow cool What one positive goal are you focused on in your REI business today? On the helping people outside just helping people see a clear path to being free and And showing them how to do multiple deals a month without needing a real estate budget that's the number one reason people come to do a two-day blueprint build out what this is, let me show you how we attack a city 34 ways and 18 of those techniques are free. They don't cost anything. We just need to show you how we do it. So For me personally, it's the reason I still do this quite frankly is that showing a showing an investor how to run this like a machine and do multiple contracts a month without needing a budget and seeing them succeed and and Have the freedom that they deserve. That's that's the number one Back-end payoff and result from helping people. That's incredible Currently, what's your favorite technology you use in your business? Um, I would say that We have some tools built that that automatically follow up with a motivated lead. So when we're going through and Having these 34 different Investment leads and sandboxes to play in right those leads need to go somewhere. So we've built Remember, I built a technology company. So we We built some custom stuff that when the leads pour in they're automatically followed up for each type of lead the right way so so for me personally, it's um, just the The follow-up pieces in the in the end it also houses all of our websites for the different Types of leads we get like a tax delinquent person that comes in front of us is behind on their property taxes That's a top two or three lead source because we track every lead source one to thirty four It gets us when I say it's a top ten. You should pay attention because it's one of three metrics if not all three it's fastest conversation to contract Highest level of motivation or highest equity spread and payoff. So delinquent property tax homeowners are Comprised all three of those so it's a very very good lead I always tell people to go after a list of two years behind or more Because the bank they probably don't have a mortgage because the bank would have already foreclosed because I'm a banker I see. Yeah, because they would lose their lien position at a tax sale So now you're going after leads that are

free and clear which means you can do almost any type of back-end strategy so That so we have behind that technology websites in place where they don't get a letter from us saying Hey before you lose your house to tax that let me put cash in your pocket. They get a letter from us saying Hey, we noticed you're behind on your taxes We pull funders together to help pay those delinquent taxes for those who qualify for assistance reference tax assistance code TAC 4 2 4 0 0 1 they desperately want to reach out to us, but they also want to find us online So we have a website built around tax advocacy. So they come to us the right way They don't come to us and say make your local offer because of our technique. So the technology behind that so The follow-up and the technology to have those websites out there so they can find us and want to speak to us as is probably My biggest weapon. Yeah, that's incredible. That's you got everything in place. That's great, man What's the current portfolio look like you have these days? Well right now we have My wife does all of our Airbnb stuff, so she runs all of our cash flowing assets Um, so that's my favorite back-end strategy right now. We do fix and flips. We do wholesales stuff like that, but on the on the buy-and-hold side we do Vacation rentals because you can get two to three times the rent right now. We have 51 houses under contract so We we do 60 to 70 percent wholesale and then we cherry-pick flips and or vacation rental So so in my world on the personal side of of our business that we run. That's what we do So talking about Airbnb that you mentioned, what do you think about? Airbnb arbitrage, what is your opinion on that? I love it. It's the if you perfect that approach then Think about this Airbnb arbitrage if you're not familiar with it folks is where you talk to somebody who owns a property and say hey Can I lease the property from you? And then what you do is you re you release it out to people as a vacation rental, right? And I'm so landlords want to get their Monthly rent right? So the approach on that just to kind of teach everybody here a little bit the approach on that is this But hey, what if I send a some sex appeal versus a regular renter, right? If you're gonna try and approach a homeowner because the benefit is you don't have to buy the house and and furnish it to get It ready to be Rented out as an Airbnb, right? You can just sign a lease agreement put first and last month's rent and spend five or ten grand furnishing it and For 10 12 15 grand you're into a property now that may produce you on the Airbnb side with with bookings 4050 grand a year like literally 300% return on your money in one calendar year, right? But that but you have to approach since you asked me you have to approach the homeowner the right way The homeowners you sign in a lease agreement a year lease agreement and first and last month's rent So some things you can do that that have sex appeal you back. Look I'll sign a three-year lease I'll even pay a hundred dollars more a month than what you wanted to get you better cash flow But I want to release this out. Oh, by the way, I'll handle all the phone calls You don't have to handle phone call about the toilet. You don't have to handle anything with the property I'll do that and I'll furnish it and That's sexy and then you sound look I'll also have you a CH the payment for me every month You'll be directly connected to my bank account. You'll never have to go wonder if the rents coming So those are things that are sexy to the homeowner. You say hey, by the way every time somebody stays there's it There's a million dollar liability policy policy on every stay provided by Airbnb Yeah Property is protected. You don't have to take any headache phone calls You get automatic payments for me and I'll sign a three-year lease agreement at $100 above what you're what you're looking to rent it for I can't I can't even imagine a landlord saying no to that.

I mean, why would they say no to that? Coming in there having a party and kicking a whole million dollar liability policy exactly Anybody scuffs the wall? Fix it and I always tell them to You'll know real-time what your property looks like too because we have after each day we have professional cleaners go in there So we know what the property looks like all the time you rent it out to somebody for a calendar year You don't know if they're gonna put up family pictures all over the wall And then you're gonna have to fill a bunch of holes in the wall and repaint So we know real-time after each day that the properties in good working condition again, all those responsibilities fall on me so that's where you have the conversation and there's some sex appeal in there and you can get into a property really cheap and Reap the benefits if you do Airbnb, so hopefully that'll answer that question for you. Yeah, that was perfect. Perfect So Jason if people want to get in touch with you, how do they go about doing that? If you want to get in touch with me You can go to the number two day blueprint calm to day blueprint calm or you can just shoot me a text message 314 749 37 37 or you just find me on Facebook Jason Palser and shoot me a friend request or a message or whatever I'm happy to I'm happy to help you. I'm happy to talk to you like we can We can help you attack any city you want and bypass Most investors do the same five things when you have 34 It's literally not figuratively literally not a fair fight like we get in front of so many off-market opportunities People can't people can't stop us like what like it like one and again Doing things without a budget just doing it better than everyone else like as an example as a tip for everybody that hears this one of the things that we do out of 34 to grab good deals is we Go to Google type in junk removal st. Louis junk removal, Tampa Jumper junk removal Phoenix and we taught we we compile all the phone numbers for 15 20 junk removal companies and then we call them and create a Ongoing relationship co-op with them. So all we do is remember Cost you nothing to do this We call them on say hey, look you give lots of bids on property to remove junk. You don't win every bid I'd like to create an ongoing relationship with you. I'm Jason with allied property group If you would like to work with us what we'd like to do is every single time say hey I have a friend that would Literally pay cash for this house and you don't have to lift a finger if you're interested Every time you send us a homeowner and we buy the house, I'll give you two grand You don't win every bid but I guarantee you that if we buy the house you get two grand secondly, if we end up buying the house, I Guarantee you get the bid I'll put it in writing. I want to ongoing relationship with you and think about this folks When do you want to talk to a homeowner? Probably the time if they're looking to remove junk because people don't remove junk just for fun They remove junk when something's going to happen that is a motivated lead at the exact moment you want to talk to them so we show you how to do things differently and and I'm willing to bet if you've Been online and done research you're trying to find ways to do get investment deals and get good leads in front of you That you've never heard that before and think about this a lead is now coming to you where they said it's okay for you To call them. They expect your call and it's not hey, let's go to list and send a bunch of text messages And people say make you a little offer are I'm not selling we don't live in that world There's a better way to approach this That's just one way and just one relationship from one junk removal company is easily could get you easily five to ten deals a year coming to you that cost you nothing up front just as an example like Not a fair fight. We teach negotiations on the back end Joke and say it's irresponsible for us to show you how

to suffocate a city 34 ways and then Not teach you what we call a seller waltz on Informant a conversation that flips a difference in price into a contract. So we'll show you 14 different ways. We do that Man, you got you got it. You got all the tools man. You got the tools. You got the weapons. I love it I love it all love it all Since entering into the real estate investing world. What do you feel you're most grateful for? Oh without a doubt the collaboration between investors Like speaking for almost well right at 20 years, I guess in some fashion or form 20 23 years really The relationships that I created with other people where we collaborate and do deals together like it was fun for me I just did a blueprint for a client last month. They're brand new and I said look when you attack 34 ways You're getting for a deals One you didn't know existed to that, you know in the moment, there's no way you can close it. So the cool thing about us teaching people to be what we call blueprint assassins is that you'll get in front of good deals that We know it's your if it's your first go-around that you're not gonna know how to do So as an example, it's the collaboration and one example is we trained a guy named Chad last month He's brand new he uncovered a mobile home park a motivated mobile home park owner said I'm willing to own or finance it So nobody even needs to get a bank loan, which is great, right? Yeah, but he doesn't have the down payment doesn't know what questions asked so I literally put him in touch with my friend Jonathan and and Jonathan's a national authority on mobile home parks and and Has taught for almost every entity in the country on it. I put them together. They're working that deal together. So The most beneficial thing and rewarding thing for me is the collaboration between investors and other people's expertise Man love that incredible.

regular/modern!human x true form sukuna boyfriend headcanons for fun <3 mainly for my pookie @kasukuna bc that's who i think of when i think of bf!sukuna

sees that men get their lovers cute things like flowers and chocolate and thinks its overrated. sukuna realises he needs to up his game with a romantic gesture, and thinks its cool to carve your name into a tree with his claws. you catch him picking bark from out under his dark nails.

saw that you made smoothies in the morning with breakfast and waited till you left the house to try it for himself (he always said he didn't care for them but he just doesn't want to admit). sukuna threw together a ripe banana, a loaf of bread and a whole METAL can of tuna and turned the blender on. you came home to a broken, smoking blender and a gross, banana-covered king of curses who acted like this was your fault.

no table manners, sorry. you think that the happiest you've ever seen sukuna is when you're back with the groceries and there's a raw leg of lamb wrapped up in butcher's paper. delights in the idea of a rare cooked steak, but prefers to eat them bloody.

if you study (say you're in college or university) he claims he doesn't give a flying fuck about what you learn, and doesn't understand the concept of degrees. he wonders why people just aren't allowed to practice their trade, and why they need a piece of paper first. but when you're not around, he reads through your textbooks and quotes them to you afterwards. but sukuna pretends he just already knew all that shit anyway.

absolutely no patience in the morning for lazying around. you figure a big, massive being like himself can sleep through sunrise. but he's got unblinking, freaky eyes and when you crack open your eyelids in the morning, he's already looking down at you, demanding that you get up and not waste your day. at first, you worry that he just doesn't even sleep. you need not worry about that, he can knock himself flat out like an elephant that bathed in nyquil.

you asked him to help with dinner one day. kind of annoying how sukuna's very good at malicious noncompliance. you know that he is an expert in all things sharp and weapon-like, and a kitchen knife is no exception. and yet, he decides to use his long claws to cut the parsnip, slicing through them very slowly in a way that drags and creaks agains the chopping board.

sukuna rages over mario kart and rainbow. has grown oddly obsessed with the leaderboard and claims that he will vanquish the player titled 'sixeyes1989' that keeps calling him rude names online.

thinks siri is mocking him and sulks the entire day at this automated voice that seems to not understand what hes saying. you ask sukuna to gently release the grip he has on your phone before he shatters it. again.

you mentioned something about how sweet it is that your friend's boyfriend leaves her little cute notes with love affirmations on it. the next day, you find sweeping yet scrawled foreign symbols on peeled sticky notes. turns out that his version of cute love notes are ominous, medieval runes that are protection spells against curses.

does NOT play fair in games night. sukuna burned all the monopoly money when you charged him rent for mayfair. invents random words and claim they're from his era in scrabble, and he insists they count. almost set something on fire during go fish and ate the cards. has sat on a chessboard just so you wouldn't win.

We are heading into severe weather season in the US soon (and by soon I mean tomorrow) (disclaimer, this is all general advice. pay attention to the official weather sources in your area for alerts and important information. I am not an expert, weather info is just a hobby for me.)

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Weather Service (NWS) has (for now anyways) the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) which is a great source of information to stay weather aware.

The SPC puts out Convective Outlooks. These show where thunderstorms and severe weather have the potential to pop up. (With temperatures warming up, the movement of warm air leads to convection in the atmosphere which results in thunderstorms and sometimes severe weather. There is a good blog post going into more detail here)

Specifically, the outlooks are:

Day 1 Outlook (today and early tomorrow morning)

Day 2 Outlook (the next 24 hours following early tomorrow morning)

Day 3 Outlook (the next 24 hours)

Day 4-8 Outlook (the next days, but these are never too certain due to the way the models work)

These outlooks are timestamped with Zulu time aka Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). You can see how that compares to your local timezone here.

Today (3/13/25), the weather outlook is okay, just a slight risk of thunderstorms across the US. However, Friday (3/14/25) and Saturday (3/15/25) both have a widespread risk of severe weather including strong winds and tornadoes.

If you are in any of these colored regions, stay weather aware! Now, this doesn't mean you have to panic, but keep an eye on the weather reports in your area!

I tend to check the SPC in the morning so I know when I have to really be paying attention to the weather for the day/coming days.

Below is more info on the color coding which you can read more about here. (In addition here is a powerpoint from the NWS with more information "12 Things You Need to Know: Severe Weather Outlooks")

Tips on staying weather aware, it's important to have access to several weather sources.

Check the SPC for updates!

Find your closest NWS Forecast Office via zip code on weather.gov

Keep an eye on the local news and local weather reports

Consider getting a weather radio! (info here from NWS) This is good for if you lose power/internet as you can check the automated radio stations near you

Check the radar (I use the radarscope app) but you can check online with websites like radar.weather.gov or wunderground.com

Ryan Hall Y'all is a youtube channel that livestreams during most severe weather outbreaks

How to Use and Interpret Doppler Weather Radar

TropicalTidbits - Info on hurricanes and other tropical weather

NWS - Emergency Supplies Kit Info

Weather Prediction Center - similar to SPC but more generalized

What to do During a Tornado (via NWS):

Stay Weather-Ready: Continue to listen to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio to stay updated about tornado watches and warnings.

At Your House: If you are in a tornado warning, go to your basement, safe room, or an interior room away from windows. Don't forget pets if time allows.

At Your Workplace or School: Follow your tornado drill and proceed to your tornado shelter location quickly and calmly. Stay away from windows and do not go to large open rooms such as cafeterias, gymnasiums, or auditoriums.

Outside: Seek shelter inside a sturdy building immediately if a tornado is approaching. Sheds and storage facilities are not safe. Neither is a mobile home or tent.  If you have time, get to a safe building.

In a vehicle: Being in a vehicle during a tornado is not safe. The best course of action is to drive to the closest shelter. If you are unable to make it to a safe shelter, either get down in your car and cover your head, or abandon your car and seek shelter in a low lying area such as a ditch or ravine.

NOAA and NWS are under threat from everything going on right now. (Hundreds of weather forecasters fired in latest wave of DOGE cuts.) They provide vital services and do very important research about our weather and climate. While 5calls.org does not currently have a template centered on NOAA/NWS, they have similar ones that you could reference, modify, and use. (I have modified one below that you might consider using.) (5calls.org also has other very important scripts that you might use for other issues.) Please consider calling your representatives and telling them how important weather information is to everybody and that they should be protecting it, not defunding it. Not only for severe weather, but for climate change research and more.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I'm calling to demand that [REP/SEN NAME] oppose any legislation, or efforts by the executive branch to dismantle or abolish the National Weather Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The recent reduction in staff is unacceptable, and will put Americans' lives and property at risk to severe weather. Reduced warning capabilities will put lives at risk and could potentially make response and recovery more hazardous and more expensive. Thank you for your time and consideration. IF LEAVING VOICEMAIL: Please leave your full street address to ensure your call is tallied.

While this is geared towards the US, a lot of this information can be applied via resources specific to your country. And finally, to quote Ryan Hall, Don't be Scared, Be Prepared.

On February 10, employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) received an email asking them to list every contract at the bureau and note whether or not it was “critical” to the agency, as well as whether it contained any DEI components. This email was signed by Scott Langmack, who identified himself as a senior adviser to the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Langmack, according to his LinkedIn, already has another job: He’s the chief operating officer of Kukun, a property technology company that is, according to its website, “on a long-term mission to aggregate the hardest to find data.”

As is the case with other DOGE operatives—Tom Krause, for example, is performing the duties of the fiscal assistant secretary at the Treasury while holding down a day job as a software CEO at a company with millions in contracts with the Treasury—this could potentially create a conflict of interest, especially given a specific aspect of his role: According to sources and government documents reviewed by WIRED, Langmack has application-level access to some of the most critical and sensitive systems inside HUD, one of which contains records mapping billions of dollars in expenditures.

Another DOGE operative WIRED has identified is Michael Mirski, who works for TCC Management, a Michigan-based company that owns and operates mobile home parks across the US, and graduated from the Wharton School in 2014. (In a story he wrote for the school’s website, he asserted that the most important thing he learned there was to “Develop the infrastructure to collect data.”) According to the documents, he has write privileges on—meaning he can input overall changes to—a system that controls who has access to HUD systems.

Between them, records reviewed by WIRED show, the DOGE operatives have access to five different HUD systems. According to a HUD source with direct knowledge, this gives the DOGE operatives access to vast troves of data. These range from the individual identities of every single federal public housing voucher holder in the US, along with their financial information, to information on the hospitals, nursing homes, multifamily housing, and senior living facilities that HUD helps finance, as well as data on everything from homelessness rates to environmental and health hazards to federally insured mortgages.

Put together, experts and HUD sources say, all of this could give someone with access unique insight into the US real estate market.

Kukun did not respond to requests for comment about whether Langmack is drawing a salary while working at HUD or how long he will be with the department. A woman who answered the phone at TCC Management headquarters in Michigan but did not identify herself said Mirksi was "on leave until July." In response to a request for comment about Langmack’s access to systems, HUD spokesperson Kasey Lovett said, “DOGE and HUD are working as a team; to insinuate anything else is false. To further illustrate this unified mission, the secretary established a HUD DOGE taskforce.” In response to specific questions about Mirski’s access to systems and background and qualifications, she said, “We have not—and will not—comment on individual personnel. We are focused on serving the American people and working as one team.”

The property technology, or proptech, market covers a wide range of companies offering products and services meant to, for example, automate tenant-landlord interactions, or expedite the home purchasing process. Kukun focuses on helping homeowners and real estate investors assess the return on investment they’d get from renovating their properties and on predictive analytics that model where property values will rise in the future.

Doing this kind of estimation requires the use of what’s called an automated valuation model (AVM), a machine-learning model that predicts the prices or rents of certain properties. In April 2024, Kukun was one of eight companies selected to receive support from REACH, an accelerator run by the venture capital arm of the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Last year NAR agreed to a settlement with Missouri homebuyers, who alleged that realtor fees and certain listing requirements were anticompetitive.

“If you can better predict than others how a certain neighborhood will develop, you can invest in that market,” says Fabian Braesemann, a researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute. Doing so requires data, access to which can make any machine-learning model more accurate and more monetizable. This is the crux of the potential conflict of interest: While it is unclear how Langmack and Mirski are using or interpreting it in their roles at HUD, what is clear is that they have access to a wide range of sensitive data.

According to employees at HUD who spoke to WIRED on the condition of anonymity, there is currently a six-person DOGE team operating within the department. Four members are HUD employees whose tenures predate the current administration and have been assigned to the group; the others are Mirski and Langmack. The records reviewed by WIRED show that Mirski has been given read and write access to three different HUD systems, as well as read-only access to two more, while Langmack has been given read and write access to two of HUD’s core systems.

A positive, from one source’s perspective, is the fact that the DOGE operatives have been given application-level access to the systems, rather than direct access to the databases themselves. In theory, this means that they can only interact with the data through user interfaces, rather than having direct access to the server, which could allow them to execute queries directly on the database or make unrestricted or irreparable changes. However, this source still sees dangers inherent in granting this level of access.

“There are probably a dozen-plus ways that [application-level] read/write access to WASS or LOCCS could be translated into the entire databases being exfiltrated,” they said. There is no specific reason to think that DOGE operatives have inappropriately moved data—but even the possibility cuts against standard security protocols that HUD sources say are typically in place.

LOCCS, or Line of Credit Control System, is the first system to which both DOGE operatives within HUD, according to the records reviewed by WIRED, have both read and write access. Essentially HUD’s banking system, LOCCS “handles disbursement and cash management for the majority of HUD grant programs,” according to a user guide. Billions of dollars flow through the system every year, funding everything from public housing to disaster relief—such as rebuilding from the recent LA wildfires—to food security programs and rent payments.

The current balance in the LOCCS system, according to a record reviewed by WIRED, is over $100 billion—money Congress has approved for HUD projects but which has yet to be drawn down. Much of this money has been earmarked to cover disaster assistance and community development work, a source at the agency says.

Normally, those who have access to LOCCS require additional processing and approvals to access the system, and most only have “read” access, department employees say.

“Read/write is used for executing contracts and grants on the LOCCS side,” says one person. “It normally has strict banking procedures around doing anything with funds. For instance, you usually need at least two people to approve any decisions—same as you would with bank tellers in a physical bank.”

The second system to which documents indicate both DOGE operatives at HUD have both read and write access is the HUD Central Accounting and Program System (HUDCAPS), an “integrated management system for Section 8 programs under the jurisdiction of the Office of Public and Indian Housing,” according to HUD. (Section 8 is a federal program administered through local housing agencies that provides rental assistance, in the form of vouchers, to millions of lower-income families.) This system was a precursor to LOCCS and is currently being phased out, but it is still being used to process the payment of housing vouchers and contains huge amounts of personal information.

There are currently 2.3 million families in receipt of housing vouchers in the US, according to HUD’s own data, but the HUDCAPS database contains information on significantly more individuals because historical data is retained, says a source familiar with the system. People applying for HUD programs like housing vouchers have to submit sensitive personal information, including medical records and personal narratives.

“People entrust these stories to HUD,” the source says. “It’s not data in these systems, it’s operational trust.”

WASS, or the Web Access Security Subsystem, is the third system to which DOGE has both read and write access, though only Mirski has access to this system according to documents reviewed by WIRED. It’s used to grant permissions to other HUD systems. “Most of the functionality in WASS consists of looking up information stored in various tables to tell the security subsystem who you are, where you can go, and what you can do when you get there,” a user manual says.

“WASS is an application for provisioning rights to most if not all other HUD systems,” says a HUD source familiar with the systems who is shocked by Mirski’s level of access, because normally HUD employees don’t have read access, let alone write access. “WASS is the system for setting permissions for all of the other systems.”

In addition to these three systems, documents show that Mirski has read-only access to two others. One, the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS), is a nationwide database that tracks all HUD programs underway across the country. (“IDIS has confidential data about hidden locations of domestic violence shelters,” a HUD source says, “so even read access in there is horrible.”) The other is the Financial Assessment of Public Housing (FASS-PH), a database designed to “measure the financial condition of public housing agencies and assess their ability to provide safe and decent housing,” according to HUD’s website.

All of this is significant because, in addition to the potential for privacy violations, knowing what is in the records, or even having access to them, presents a serious potential conflict of interest.

“There are often bids to contract any development projects,” says Erin McElroy, an assistant professor at the University of Washington. “I can imagine having insider information definitely benefiting the private market, or those who will move back into the private market,” she alleges.

HUD has an oversight role in the mobile home space, the area on which TCC Management, which appears to have recently wiped its website, focuses. "It’s been a growing area of HUD’s work and focus over the past few decades," says one source there; this includes setting building standards, inspecting factories, and taking in complaints. This presents another potential conflict of interest.

Braesemann says it’s not just the insider access to information and data that could be a potential problem, but that people coming from the private sector may not understand the point of HUD programs. Something like Section 8 housing, he notes, could be perceived as not working in alignment with market forces—“Because there might be higher real estate value, these people should be displaced and go somewhere else”—even though its purpose is specifically to buffer against the market.

Like other government agencies, HUD is facing mass purges of its workforce. NPR has reported that 84 percent of the staff of the Office of Community Planning and Development, which supports homeless people, faces termination, while the president of a union representing HUD workers has estimated that up to half the workforce could be cut The chapter on housing policy in Project 2025—the right-wing playbook to remake the federal government that the Trump administration appears to be following—outlines plans to massively scale back HUD programs like public housing, housing assistance vouchers, and first-time home buyer assistance.

How Healthcare App Development Services Can Improve Patient Engagement?

Healthcare App Development Services

In today's digital and modern technology era, patient engagement is more than just appointment reminders and common alerts—it's about empowering patients to take control of their health. That's where Healthcare App Development plays a vital role. With the rise of mobile health service offerings, clinics and hospitals can connect and merge with patients in real time and without delays and any major considerations, offering more personalized, accessible, and proactive care.

Anytime, Anywhere Access to Health Information:

With a custom healthcare app, patients can access their medical records and stored data, test results, prescriptions, and doctor recommendations from the comfort of their homes or at ease with its implementation. Healthcare App Development enables real-time information sharing while making it an easier option for patients to stay alert and informed with an involved role in their treatment journey.

Simplifying Appointment Confirmation Process:

An appointment and a specific time slot confirmation used to be a time taking task but not now. With a well-crafted application, patients can check the doctor availability within the app, choose a time slot as per preferred choice and receive instant confirmations of the booking. While the automated reminders also reduce the no-shows and improve the patient satisfaction with its implementation into the infrastructure.

Two-Way Communication:

Modern healthcare apps allow secure messaging between patients and providers. This promotes better communication, helping patients ask questions, request medication refills, or report symptoms—all without the need to visit the clinic. Healthcare App Development integrates secure chat and video consultations to support remote care.

Personalized Health Alerts and Reminders:

Patients are more likely to follow and get the most suitable treatment plans when they receive timely reminders. Healthcare apps can send alerts for medication, upcoming visits, or daily health tasks. The additional features promote healthy habits and options that lead towards improved health outcomes.

Data Tracking for Chronic Care:

While applications track down the vital signs, blood sugar levels, physical activity, or sleep patterns and other common tracking measures with its usage. This is especially essential for patients managing and going through chronic conditions. Healthcare App Development makes it easy to sync wearable devices and generate reports for doctors to review.

Supporting Mental Health and Wellness:

Many healthcare apps now incorporate features such as guided meditation, mental health check-ins, and self-assessment tools. These additions support whole-patient care beyond physical symptoms.

Headcanon request! How would the Terzo or Copia act with an significant other who is a teacher? 😁

Terzo

He would absolutely love the long stretches of summertime you have together, but then get cranky as it gets closer to September. He tries to help you grade and organize and write lesson plans, but he gets bored very easily and starts to moan about it after only one or two papers.

Things really come to a head when he gets fussy and bratty about you being too tired Monday through Friday to really give him attention or go out because "It's a school night". You basically read him the riot act right then and tell him how exasperated and overwhelmed you feel. Even though Terzo can be a bit bratty, he does take your feelings to heart, apologizing and vowing to support you in any way he can.

And he does, quickly after that. He makes dinners and packs your lunches. When you come home after a particularly long day and just want to lie on the couch he waits on you and gives your aching calves and feet an expert massage. He's not really one to give advice, but he is an understanding ear when you feel like you need to vent. He quickly realizes that with all of this support you feel more comfortable and more energized, you're more likely to jump his bones at 4PM on a Tuesday after work.

Copia

Copia takes academics very seriously, with his background as a CPA before his sudden pivot towards running the church and performing. He was drawn to you originally because of your shared love of learning and feels honored to be with someone that makes such an impact on the world. He knows how hard you work and does everything in his power to help you catch up. He takes you out to dinner whenever you feel like you need a pick me up. He is very good at grading. There are many very cheerful Saturday mornings with you and him at the kitchen table with a pile of math work to grade, matching coffee mugs and a record on the turntable.

One problem though is Copia is just horrible with computers and gets very defensive when you try to explain something new to him. He had never once emptied his Recycle Bin on his desktop that Sister forced him to use to "automate and streamline the Ministry accounts"....until you showed him how to do it (and also to stop saving every fucking thing on the desktop.) He doesn't understand why you need to upload all the grades into the byzantine grading system ("Aren't they going to just change the name again next year, mi amore?") and can very easily calculate averages in his head or on his ancient calculator for you.

He gets so inspired by you and your successes that you share with him that during an extended break from touring he tries his hand at substitute teaching at a local high school. He quits after the second day because the kids intimidated him a little bit. He is in awe of how you do it.

The UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories has called for sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel and for global corporations to be held accountable for “profiting from genocide” in Gaza.

A report by Francesca Albanese to the UN Human Rights Council on Thursday points to the deep involvement of companies from around the world in supporting Israel during its 21-month onslaught in Gaza.

“While life in Gaza is being obliterated and the West Bank is under escalating assault, this report shows why Israel’s genocide continues: because it is lucrative for many,” the report says.

Special rapporteurs are independent human rights experts appointed to advise or report on specific situations. Albanese, an Italian legal scholar who has been the special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories since 2022, first referred to the Israeli offensive in Gaza as a genocide in January 2024.

The international court of justice (ICJ) is weighing the charge of genocide against Israel but Albanese has argued that the evidence of genocide is overwhelming and pointed out that the court issued preliminary measures last year recognising the possibility of genocide in Gaza, triggering universal responsibility to prevent it.

Israel has largely ignored the ICJ’s calls on it to take steps to mitigate the toll on Palestinian civilians and disputed the court’s jurisdiction.

The special rapporteur’s report is titled “From economy of occupation to economy of genocide” and looks at international corporate involvement in supplying weapons and supplying heavy machinery used to raze Palestinian neighbourhoods in Gaza and the West Bank, agricultural companies selling produce from illegal settlements, and investment firms helping fund the war.

“While political leaders and governments shirk their obligations, far too many corporate entities have profited from Israel’s economy of illegal occupation, apartheid and, now, genocide,” the report says.

The report says the Israeli military has benefited from “the largest ever defence procurement programme” for the F-35 fighter jet, made by Lockheed Martin with the involvement of more than 1,600 other manufacturers and eight states. It says Israel was the first to fly the warplane in “beast mode”, carrying 18,000lb of bombs at a time.

The US technology firm Palantir comes under particular criticism in the Albanese report for its close partnership with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), with which the company agreed a strategic partnership for Palantir to assist its “war-related missions”.

Palantir, whose software allows automated decision-making on the battlefield, has denied any involvement in the IDF’s Lavender or Gospel programmes for identifying targets in Gaza.

The Albanese report also criticises heavy equipment manufacturers such as Caterpillar and Volvo for allegedly supplying heavy machinery used in mass demolitions of homes, mosques and infrastructure in Gaza and the West Bank.

“These companies have continued supplying the Israeli market despite abundant evidence of Israel’s criminal use of this machinery and repeated calls from human rights groups to sever ties,” Albanese says in the report. “Passive suppliers become deliberate contributors to a system of displacement.”

The report notes that Israel has helped pay for the war and consequent deep budget deficits by selling treasury bonds. By buying them, the report argues, international finance has helped keep the war going.

“Some of the world’s largest banks, including BNP Paribas and Barclays, stepped in to boost market confidence by underwriting these international and domestic treasury bonds, allowing Israel to contain the interest rate premium, despite a credit downgrade,” it says.

It names asset management firms including Pimco (owned by the German-based financial services company Allianz) and Vanguard as major buyers of Israeli treasury bonds.

The report also points to the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG), the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, for having increased its investment in Israeli companies by 32% since October 2023.

On Monday, Norway’s biggest pension fund, KLP, announced it would no longer do business with two companies – the Oshkosh Corporation in the US and ThyssenKrupp in Germany – because they sell equipment to the Israeli military that could be being used in Gaza. Neither company is named in the UN report.

Albanese’s report points to precedents in holding corporations legally accountable for human rights abuses they enable, including the prosecution of leading German industrialists at the Nuremberg tribunal after the second world war, in what was known as the IG Farben trial.

Another example cited is the South African truth and reconciliation commission, which took the country’s big companies to task for their involvement in apartheid.

The UN published its own benchmarks in 2011, in its guiding principles on business and human rights, which said corporations had a responsibility to do due diligence to ensure they were not infringing human rights and to take steps to address harmful effects of their business.

In her recommendations, Albanese calls for sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel, and urges the international criminal court “and national judiciaries to investigate and prosecute corporate executives and/or corporate entities for their part in the commission of international crimes and laundering of the proceeds from those crimes”.
