In this Storyy Trend Report we’ll talk about the housing market, but before that, this blue lobsters trended recently.

The University of Maine Lobster Institute is among those to have quoted these odds in the past, though its executive director, Rob Bayer, admits they are merely a “guess”.
How much of a difference does five days make? In today’s fast-paced housing market where real estate listings get snapped up almost overnight, a whole lot.
One of the critical changes is that the pace of home sales slowed significantly, with listings sitting five extra days on the market compared with this time last year.
Homes typically linger on the market just 34 days, so a five-day upswing is huge. Here’s what this and other recent fluctuations mean, so that both homebuyers and sellers can stay on top of the dynamic world of real estate today.
Inflation appears to be beyond its peak, which has stopped the rapid increase in mortgage rates that the housing market was experiencing earlier this year. The market continues to absorb the cumulative impact of the large price and rate increases that led to a plunge in affordability. As a result, over the rest of the year purchase demand likely will continue to drag, supply will modestly increase, and home price growth will decelerate.

Popular on pretty much every social media platform, text-to-image AI takes a phrase or name prompt and generates an image based on it. People have been using it for song lyrics, dates from the past or future, and even funny celebrity situations.
Oddly enough the comedian, John Oliver, seems to have been a subject for many of these funny AI images, even turning into a story shared by thousands with different images they generated. Oliver egged it on further on his show Sunday night and it only blew up more. Check out some examples below!
The soundbite, Locked Up by Coinyes has blown up on TikTok. It’s a short and simple video, just film yourself using the POlice Filter by JPhant and put something you can’t stop doing even if it became illegal.
