i took a 45-minute uber ride home from the airport last night after a brutal, three-day business trip.

i was completely emotionally and physically drained, and my social battery was at absolute zero.

when i got into the car, the driver.. an older guy named kabir.. didn't say the usual "how was your flight?" or turn on the radio.

instead, he just handed me a small, laminated piece of paper attached to the back of his headrest.
it was a literal "ride menu."
it said:
1. *the silent ride* (total quiet, no pressure to talk).
2. *the therapist ride* (if you need to vent about your day, i am listening).
3. *the tourist ride* (i will tell you cool facts about the city).
4. *the radio ride* (we just listen to old jazz and coast).

i smiled, pointed to number 1, and whispered, "silent ride, please. thank you."

he gave me a warm nod in the rearview mirror, adjusted the AC, and drove the entire 45 minutes in absolute, beautiful silence.

it was the most peaceful, therapeutic boundary i’ve experienced all year. i felt my entire nervous system finally reset.

when he dropped me off, i gave him a massive tip and told him, "that menu is a genius business idea. you must get amazing reviews."

He looked back at me and said, "i didn't make the menu to get better tips, dear.

my daughter has severe social anxiety, and she told me that the hardest part of her day is navigating small talk with strangers when her brain is tired.

she told me it feels like running a marathon.

i made the card so that anyone who gets into my car can feel completely safe dropping the mask for a little while."

i walked into my apartment and just sat on my suitcase.

we live in a world that is constantly screaming at us to perform, to network, to be "on," and to over-communicate.

but sometimes, the deepest form of love and respect you can show another human being is just creating a small, safe pocket of silence for them to rest in.

pay attention to the people who give you permission to be quiet. they are rare.

@SatoshiWolf Far out, what suburbs of Australia is this?

[Mikel Goodman @MikelGoodman]

@Theblackfemini3 I would have shot the prick in the head!!!

Ain't no way I'd be leaving my boys with anybody in a room. Dr. Nurse whoever!!!

[Mia ♡ @Nglmia_x]

Took my 11-year-old daughter to a checkup today.
The nurse asked me to step out of the room.
I politely said no.
She said, "It's only for a moment."
I replied:
"My husband and I don't leave our children alone with anyone, including medical providers. Anything you need to say can be said with me here."
She looked annoyed and left.
The part that stuck with me?
As soon as she walked out, my daughter thanked me for staying.
Her eyes got huge the moment the nurse asked me to leave.
Maybe I'm overprotective.
But I'd rather be present and unnecessary than absent and regret it.

Could not agree more!!!

True story. My dad smoked most of his life. For most of the years I was around he drank probably a quart of whiskey a week. He had a number of other vices as well. But he did hard physical labor so at least he got exercise. He died at 91. Three weeks before he died he was still fast walking 4 miles a day. But he had a gall bladder operation, got a staff infection, and never recovered.

The lesson I take from this - drink if you want, smoke if you want, but stay the hell away from doctors.

🤣🤣🤣

Ese hombre actuó valientemente. Usar la fuerza debida en el momento preciso evita problemas mayores.

Unreal, great idea!

[Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺 @PaulineHansonOz]

Australian homes should be prioritised for Australians. One Nation makes no apologies for putting Australians first.

Foreign owners – temporary visa holders and foreign citizens residing overseas – would be given two years to sell their Australian residential properties under One Nation’s policy.

Permanent residents have been accepted to settle in Australia permanently. They live here, work here, pay taxes here and build their lives here. Many are on the path to citizenship. One Nation’s policy does not require them to sell their homes.

Governments routinely regulate foreign investment in housing, agriculture, infrastructure and strategic assets. 

The Commonwealth already bans most foreign persons, including temporary residents and foreign-owned companies, from purchasing established dwellings, subject to exceptions.

Labor extended that ban in the 2026–27 Budget. One Nation’s policy effectively only extends these bans to new homes. Politicians attacking One Nation’s policy are attacking a principle the government already applies.

I have a mate at poker that was asking me about my Tesla model three on Wednesday night and he is keen to maybe buy a second hand Tesla and he was asking about how do you charge? How long will the battery last? And I allayed all of his fears and I think he's pretty keen on getting a Tesla for himself.

[Mikel Goodman @MikelGoodman]

@alojoh This is ridiculous! I have owned Tesla shares since 2017 and have been all in since 2019 but I am not able to get an allocation because I haven't owned them for over 10 years and I have to tell you it's been an absolutely rocky ride especially since 2019!!!

[Mikel Goodman @MikelGoodman]

@TeslaKing420 Yes but Australia does not have FSD like the Americans do and I have a model 3 2021 version. Still waiting for the version 14 lite

🚨🚨 A pea-sized dose of horse ivermectin paste every Monday and Tuesday. It's simply like wormwood and honey...

A pea-sized dose of horse fenbendazole paste every Thursday and Friday. It's simply like black walnut hulls, cloves, and honey.

After a few weeks, once most of the intestinal parasites have been eliminated, you can take it however you like...

Ivermectin kills the mother worm, which releases a hormone that prevents the egg sacs from breaking open—the ones doctors call tumors...

Once the mother worm is eliminated, the sacs open up. Fenbendazole kills the larvae and helps heal the brain and spine...

Absolutely brilliant idea! More businesses (all businesses) should do this in Australia!

[BroBro🇦🇺🏇🏻 @realRick_AUS]

About time business start standing up to uber delivery

It’s a shit service for food delivery

And Indians control 80% of the market in delivery’s

Just pick up your food, that’s how you support Australian small businesses and the money stays in Australia 🇦🇺

Los lugareños han dicho: “por cada bandera que eliminen, se levantarán cientos más”

This is what the older generations should try and do more often

[Mikel Goodman @MikelGoodman]

@surfranchvibes I would be pretty comfortable with 18% and this way you're not selling any Tesla shares. So as Tesla does go up in price, you don't lose the extra grow and you get the property!

[Mikel Goodman @MikelGoodman]

@wholemars Especially send it to Australia 😀

[Mikel Goodman @MikelGoodman]

@surfranchvibes Yes I think if you can keep the LVR to under 20% that would be quite safe. NFA DYOR 😀

Way I see it, I believe $TSLA will be over $750 by the end of the year.

[Mikel Goodman @MikelGoodman]

@matthughes13 Hey Matt, those are great buy prices, here are mine

$RIOT - my average is 7.84
$WULF - my average is 6.23
$CLSK - my average is 13.44
$CIFR - my average is 14.74
$TSLA - my average is 194.73

[Mikel Goodman @MikelGoodman]

@surfranchvibes When I say keep the LVR under 25%. Basically I'm aiming to keep the LVR around 10% so Tesla would have to drop from $435 to something like $80 for my margin loan to be called and for any of the shares to be sold, and the chance of that is incredibly slim.
