In a 2023 Pew survey on teen internet use, only about one-third of US teens ages 13 to 17 said they used Facebook. Compare that with Pew's 2014 survey, when 71% of teens said they used Facebook. AdvertisementSecondly, Facebook is hoping to lure back young adults with offerings like Marketplace, Dating, Groups, and Events. And I don't think Facebook Dating is a huge hit. I know it seems improbable that Facebook could become cool for Gen Z, but don't count it out — they just might pull this off.

That apartment complex is Stadium Lofts, a former baseball stadium that was converted into 138 apartments by Core Redevelopment, a Midwest developer group. The Stadium Lofts has 138 units and Stadium Flats, the four-building complex next door, has 144. The Stadium Lofts renovation took the partners just under two years to complete. The Stadium Flats addition was completed about a year after the Stadium Lofts opened and cost around $13 million. Cox, Watson, and his sons had a budget of $14 million for the Stadium Lofts conversion and, in the end, spent roughly $13.8 million.

☆ The incredible oblivion of Judge Marvin Isgur

On a mild Houston day in March 2021, Judge Marvin Isgur prepared to oversee the only case on his docket that morning. In October 2023, the Fifth Circuit Court rebuked Judge David Jones but said that his longtime colleague, Judge Marvin Isgur, had been "unaware" of Jones' inappropriate relationship. "But only Judge Isgur knows what he knew or didn't know about the relationship." Much of this work was in cases before either Judge Isgur or Judge Jones. Isgur can continue to hear the case, he ruled, writing in the December 2023 opinion that lawyers for the creditor "failed to demonstrate much other than that former Judge Jones and Judge Isgur are close friends."
