This man makes this look easy. In reality im sure it took a couple days, but the results are incredible. Good luck winning father of the year with this guy in your town. He better get more than cologne and a scrappy tie for father's day. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐ฏ๐
I canceled a date yesterday evening because I just wasnโt feeling it.
I had a long day, low energy, and zero social battery.
I texted him politely, saying I needed to stay in and recharge.
He replied with a simple โGot you.โ
Cool. End of storyโฆ I thought.
Around 8 p.m., I heard a knock. Actually, it was more like a full-on delivery parade.
First, a guy showed up with flowers. Then another with a paper bag from a pharmacy (basic self-care stuff Iโd mentioned needing weeks ago and forgotten about).
Then food from a small place near my office that I love but rarely visit.
I stood at my door like Iโd accidentally subscribed to premium life support.
I finally called him like, โWhy are there multiple people at my door?โ
And heโs likeโฆโฆ..
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
This video is PEAK comedy gold. I felt this in my SOUL. ๐
โCanโt stand these fckn bicyclistsโ โ my brother, you just narrated my morning commute.
He nails it: Grown-ass men in skin-tight neon spandex outfits looking like a pack of radioactive Power Rangers, riding three-wide like itโs the Peloton Championships on a residential road. No oneโs handing out medals at the cul-de-sac, Kyle. Youโre not transporting a heart for surgery. Youโre just expensive, slow-moving road geese with $10k carbon fiber attitudes.
One? Fine. Eight? Thatโs a tactical formation. Thatโs how civilizations fall.
Iโm honking, Iโm crying, Iโm in agreement. Save us from the Lycra Legion. He nails every reason I canโt stand the bicycle militia.
