When the University of Miami ran hurricane markets 20 years ago, they were more accurate in predicting landfall location than the National Hurricane Center.
Jordan Peterson said you should never try and beat your wife at arguments because even if you win you are now stuck with a loser, it should always be that you are on the same team trying to figure out the world together
The main reason young, reactionary Christians are starting to target pastor obesity is because they cannot handle the hypocrisy of a fat guy lecturing them on porn and sexual immorality
Sloth is just as much of a sin as lust, and more than this, in this age we are demanding leaders look the part
Overall it's a good thing, even if it goes too far sometimes. There's been an incongruence between authority and responsibility for too long. It's why morale in the military improved when Hegseth fired the fat generals and does PT with the troops

🚨GOP FLIP: @Pollsmax has flipped Georgia's governor race from blue to red, now predicting a victory for Rick Jackson.
Georgia - 2026 Governor (odds)
🟥Rick Jackson 52.8%
🟦Keisha Lance Bottoms 47.2%

"It's the most accurate meme of all time." 🤣
Keith Mitchell was going through it at Shinnecock Hills. He's the only player in U.S. Open history to shoot even par in all four rounds.

Operation Highway Shield hit Illinois, Indiana, lowa and Ohio, with federal inspectors targeting unqualified drivers, unsafe trucks and alleged CDL fraud.
