Financial advisor, father, husband, way too many interests to realistically pursue.

@SeanTrende The point of these recipes is to stretch your cooking skills or class up something you've made a million times. As someone who graduated college in 2006, it's hard to see a younger generation that thinks they aren't gonna struggle for a while post-college before "making it."

@asymmetricinfo It's also efficient on another level because you get a Google search along with your request if you need to dive deeper.

@emmma_camp_ Thank you!

@emmma_camp_ I love cocktails (@petersuderman newsletter shout-out), but I've always had difficulty managing multiple cocktails for more than half a dozen people without being stuck making drinks all night. Got any tips & tricks?

Good thing Congress isn't alive to see this.

Great "revived manufacturing" sector we've got.

[Joey Politano 🏳️‍🌈 @JosephPolitano]

The US has lost roughly 82k manufacturing jobs over the last year—though it posted its first monthly gain since November 2024 in January

Wood, electronics, and chemicals are the biggest losers, though almost no subsectors are doing well

@HaroldsAltAct @TDHBXG Most of them let you purchase the company stock in your 401k where you're getting a company match and tax benefits as well.

@cafreiman My son is the same way with the Lions. He cried last year when they lost in the playoffs and I was just happy that we're a playoff team

@BPROBE2 @billybinion @bumbadum14 Ah yes, the time honored Internet tradition of moving the goalposts

@Smiley_Gate @besttrousers Bottom of the article:

"Only 12.1% of Americans make in the $75,000 to $99,999 range. An additional 17% make between $100,000 and $149,000..."

They also separate out the top 10% ($167,639 average).

Combined, that's 40% in the $75k - $100k range and above.

@tracewoodgrains My wife went with her friends on a girl's trip and they had a blast. We are absolutely getting there with our kids sometime in the next few years!

[Ben Taylor @Tallantros]

@billybinion Imagine getting that all over your socks

[Ben Taylor @Tallantros]

@mbateman At the very least, you have to be intentional with location. We specifically bought our house in a neighborhood with lots of young families. Now we have five families on our street that all get together most weekends. The dozen kids all play and the adults socialize. It's great!

@GnarlyRedDwarf @fuckyouiquit Not getting that job is dodging a bullet.

[Ben Taylor @Tallantros]

@carney @JamesSurowiecki With automatic payroll deductions for the vast majority of workers. What a terrible analogy. Even self-employed persons pay taxes quarterly, not monthly.

@JerusalemDemsas Michigan has signs alongside the highways here letting people know a text about tolls is a scam.

@planefag @tracewoodgrains Trump has a history of letting things go if someone bends the knee and he can declare victory.

[Ben Taylor @Tallantros]

@planefag @tracewoodgrains It's in the original tweet. They have an upcoming merger with Skyfance that will need government approval.

@mbateman Went to get a coffee with a girl my Sophomore year of college. 23 years later, there are two kids, a dog, a house, and a boatload of adventures along the way.

@JerusalemDemsas Definitely craving takoyaki now!
