Feels like a good time to remind everyone we have a sitting Supreme Court justice who says she doesn't know what a woman is because she's not a biologist 🤡🤡🤡
Ok so here’s how it works
Dads with daughters: Women’s restroom.
Moms with daughters: Women’s restroom.
Dads with sons: Men’s restrooms.
Mothers with sons: Women’s restroom.
Hope that helps.
Jerry Seinfeld on why chasing your "passion" is embarrassing, and what to do instead:
Seinfeld pushes back against the popular advice to find your one great passion in life.
In his view, it's not just unnecessary, it's a little ridiculous.
"Let go of this idea that you have to find this one great thing that is my passion. My great passion with your shirt torn open and your heaving pec muscles. It's embarrassing."
Instead of chasing something dramatic, he offers a quieter alternative:
"Find fascination. Fascination is way better than passion. It's not so sweaty."
He explains why the heavy-breathing version of passion is actually counterproductive:
"Just be willing to do your work as hard as you can with the ability you have. We don't need the heavy breathing and the outstretched arm from your passion. It makes co-workers uncomfortable in the cubicle next to you."
Then Seinfeld offers what he calls his three real keys to life, no jokes:
"Number one, bust your ass. Number two, pay attention. Number three, fall in love."
@JerrySeinfeld elaborates on the first one:
"You obviously already know whatever you're doing, I don't care if it's your job, your hobby, a relationship, getting a reservation at M Sushi, make an effort. Just pure stupid… effort."
And here's the part worth sitting with:
"Effort always yields a positive value even if the outcome of the effort is absolute failure of the desired result. This is a rule of life. Just swing the bat and pray is not a bad approach to a lot of things."
Private Carlton Barrett was possibly the smallest man in his regiment.
5 feet 4 inches tall. 125 pounds.
On the morning of June 6, 1944, he landed at Omaha Beach in neck-deep water, machine gun fire cutting the surface all around him. He made it to shore.
Then he turned around and went back in.
A soldier was drowning. Barrett pulled him out. Then another. Then another. For hours, under constant fire, this 125-pound man waded back into the surf again and again, pulling drowning men to safety and physically carrying the wounded to evacuation boats offshore.
But he didn't stop there.
He ran dispatches the full length of the fire-swept beach. He found soldiers paralyzed by shock and calmed them back into action. He appeared wherever the crisis was worst, doing whatever needed doing, treating rank and personal safety as irrelevant details.
He did this for hours without stopping.
His Medal of Honor citation says his courage had "an inestimable effect on his comrades." That is military understatement for: this small, anonymous man held that section of beach together through sheer force of will.
He survived the war.
His comrades later said his life darkened after he came home. He lived quietly and died in 1986 in California, largely unknown outside of military history circles.
5 feet 4 inches. 125 pounds. He went back in.
Remember him.

Elon Musk's children don't go to normal school. And the reason why will change how you think about education.
He pulled his kids out of one of the most prestigious schools in Los Angeles. Parents were furious. Media called him arrogant. The school had a waitlist of thousands.
His response: "They're teaching kids to solve problems that already have answers. I need them to solve problems nobody's thought of yet."
So he built a school. Inside SpaceX. Called it Ad Astra. No grades. No tests. No subjects in the traditional sense.
A nine year old could take apart a rocket engine and present their findings to actual SpaceX engineers. Students didn't study history. They debated whether they'd make different decisions than historical leaders using the same information available at the time.
The school had no grade levels. A seven year old could work alongside a thirteen year old if they were interested in the same problem.
When asked why he structured it this way, Elon said something that stuck with me:
"I don't care if they know the answer. I care if they know which questions are worth asking."
Most people spend their entire education learning how to be right. Elon teaches his children how to be curious.
The system rewards answers. Life rewards questions.
Today is our nations Memorial Day. Enjoy your day and take a moment to remember the true meaning of this day. A day to pay our respects to all those who have given their lives in our country's defense. God bless these brave heroes and their families.
An old cowboy owned a small ranch in New Mexico. The New Mexico Wage & Hour Dept. claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him.
“I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,” demanded the agent.
“Well,” replied the rancher, “There’s my ranch hand who’s been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board.
The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 per week plus free room and board.
Then there’s the half-wit who works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night.”
“That’s the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit,” says the agent.
“That would be me,” replied the rancher.
Memorial Day is a solemn reminder that freedom is never free. Today, we honor the brave American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.
We remember our fallen warriors, pray for their loved ones and Gold Star Families, and give thanks for those who gave everything.
God Bless America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’m tired of hearing about what we GIVE to Veterans. They’re not given anything. Veterans have EARNED every bit of their benefits the minute they raised their right hand!
