Retired / Rewired, by @ansonpc https://t.co/kZtSsYpFkO

Investigators say a Fort Wayne man cut off his penis, lit it on fire and then used it to set his mom's garage on fire.

Christopher Peden is charged with one count of Arson.

Peden was arrested last week and his bond was set at $10,000. He has since posted that bond.

If you’re not on X yet, it’s free to join (I pay for Premium because it’s worth it). Tap your profile pic, scroll to Money, and connect a bank account. I tossed in a grand to kick the tires. Boom—now it’s earning 6% while it sits there. Six percent. In a checking account. You get a slick metal debit card you can personalize (I went simple with “Anson”).

If you’ve got any treasure parked in a regular bank, go check what they’re paying you. I’d bet my last pair of good socks it’s nowhere near that. I used to say that if I could reliably pull 5% in retirement, I’d never need to work again. Well, 6% is better than 5%. Unless the whole world flips upside down, we can cruise through this chapter without sweating the shekels.

Shu wrote back, “Sorry, I don’t have Twitter.” Classic. But signing up is free and easy, and I honestly think X is becoming the platform where real life gets done. Happy to walk anybody through it. @XMoney

One focus of our retirement is maximizing our treasure. We just moved some money to X Money, where we’re earning 6% APR along with a premium metal credit card. If you have an X Premium account, I highly recommend signing up, moving a little over, and giving it a try. I believe this is a glimpse into the future of money.

I used to think people who quit or cut back just couldn’t handle it. “We’re fine, don’t rain on our parade.” I was dead wrong. For a certain slice of us, society’s favorite social lubricant is pure poison. It doesn’t fix woes — it creates them. If you suspect booze is quietly messing with your life, own it. Reset. One small change can turn your retired ride from a clunky bumper car into the greatest rollercoaster ever built.

Final thought: Most sober people are boring as hell. I still love sitting at the bar, trading beer for root beer, shooting the shit with whoever’s there. The drinkers are usually way more entertaining. So if you decide to drop the spirits, don’t lose your edge. Get sharper. Life is meant to be lived right fucking now — it’s your choice how you do your living.

What’s your kryptonite? There are plenty to pick from, thank God I found mine and today am living my best life.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Openly gay comedian Tim Dillon asks Joe Rogan how his bank and his favorite sports team coming out as gay are making his life any better.

DILLON: "Why do the Padres have to wear gay uniforms? That doesn't make any sense to me."

"As a gay person, I never said why I need the Padres to be gay."

"Why is Citibank gay? Why is Chase gay?"

"Why does this help anyone that a corporation is trans? Why is Chobani Yogurt trans? What's the point of this? Does this get people healthcare? Does this make people happy?"

ROGAN: "It makes some people happy."

DILLON: "It makes some people happy that I worry about because I just don't understand, and it makes more people angry."

DILLON: "That's why gay marriage has lost 11 points in support. More people are annoyed."

"When did my bank come out as gay? And I'm okay with it, but could somebody have told me, what are we doing? This doesn't make anybody's life better."

"You're shoving a worldview down someone's throat."

He says it was supposed to increase acceptance. But actually, it does the exact opposite…

I suspect we’re finally healing—or at least turning the corner—from the shit show we politely call “COVID.” That multi-year tantrum we all threw, willingly or not, left scars. Division, fear, loss, isolation. We lived through it, and for a long time it felt like the wound would never close.

But here we are. @RedClayStrays

This is Retired / Rewired in action: lower expectations sometimes lead to the best realities. A mall-stage show that turned into connection, laughter, and memories. A reminder that at our age we’re blessed beyond measure to keep meeting interesting people and building new friendships.

We live with deep gratitude—for something bigger than ourselves, for the people who share the journey, and for the ability to slow down and actually enjoy it all.

If you’re in this season too—whether fully retired, rewiring your days, or just dreaming about it— reach out to others and create a memory or three. You never know what tomorrow holds, let alone “three morrow”. Get up, get out, connect, create memories!

Cheers Mother Fuggers, get up, get out, and create something you will remember forever.

We’re making one fun detour today to finally meet a friend in Loveland in person. We’ve only connected by phone and Zoom so far, but she’s a soulful spirit and we can’t wait to hug her. Then we’ll swing by Brooks Place Tavern to see more friends, grab a soda, and roll into the house late afternoon. I’ve got my men’s group in the morning too — can’t wait for those strong hugs from my ride-or-die brothers.

A buddy recently offered me pit tickets for the Foo Fighters in Chicago. Just three days before we’re seeing AC/DC in Vegas. I wanted to go, but Nae-Nae wisely said “it’s too much.” We passed, knowing we’ll catch the Foo Fighters in Nashville the following week. It all balances out.

No matter who you are or what stage of life you’re in, here’s my encouragement: grind hard in your younger years so that one day you and your person (and maybe a fur kid) can get out on the road and explore this greatest country ever founded on this spinning blue ball.

Happy early 250th birthday, America. We’re just getting started.
