The new Jackass is out and it’s really the finale of millennial youth.
To understand Jackass is to understand millennial men.
First and foremost, Jackass is outside and it’s doing dumb stuff. It happens in the real world. It is people doing things that come from a deep, deep sense of boredom. You don’t taser your friends nuts if you have a magic dopamine box in your pocket 24/7.
You couldn’t understand the anticipation of a friend doing something dumb in 2005. The monotony and nothingness of banal regular life being cut through instantly by your friend getting pushed in a shopping cart into the hedges of an Episcopalian church so they launch like a catapult.
This was our youth. These were our people. After the dot com boom and 9/11 and the war in Iraq, there was a nihilism and sadness in the country. Jackasss came in to fill that void. Fuck everything, they said, have fun with your homies. Terrorize corny people. Have fun with your homies.
You can see a tinge of sadness in all of their eyes. Even for them, the kings of risk, they know they can’t gamble with their bodies anymore.
But there’s something more than that. There’s a sense now that it also wouldn’t be worth it. I. 2003 if you punched your dwarf friend with a giant boxing glove, you made fifty million people laugh for years. Now maybe you get a few hours.
These are samurai that would do this to their death if we wanted them to. But the payoff now would be so fleeting, what is the point. They are not afraid, they are sad. Values have changed. They are shogun in a world that doesn’t need them.
And that’s ok. That’s getting old. And we always knew this was coming. Their theme song, the classic twang of a telecaster, is Corona by the band Minutemen. It’s a sad song about how greed and excess of America pillaged Latin America. And that was there all along, just below surface, ready to be some metaphor for the jackass journey; the sad clown is just sad when the show is over.
hey crypto bros, since the trenches are back…
this is my petition to make trenchies (my supplement candy brand) the official snack of the trenches😅
Every candy has
-50mg caffeine
-100mg L-Theanine
-100mg L-Tyrosine
-250mcg Vitamin B12
So not only does it have caffeine to give you that perfect mid day pick me up but also all the supplements to support that energy and focus throughout the day
NUCLEAR POWER.
IT DOESN'T CARE IF THE SUN'S SHINING OR THE WIND'S BLOWING.
IT DOESN'T NEED BATTERIES FULL OF COBALT OR LITHIUM DUG UP BY CONGOLESE CHILD SLAVES IN CHINESE-OWNED MINES.
AND IT HAS LOWER LIFETIME GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS THAN SOLAR, AND ABOUT THE SAME AS WIND.
IT'S NOT EVIL DEVIL MAGIC. IT'S METAL THAT GETS HOT AND BOILS WATER TO MAKE STEAM THAT TURNS TURBINES.
THERE'S NO SMOKE. THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF THE COOLING TOWER IS JUST STEAM.
NUCLEAR PRODUCES AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES LESS RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION THAN COAL WHICH CONTAINS TRACE RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS WHICH GO INTO THE AIR WHEN BURNED.
NUCLEAR POWER DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL NUCLEAR WASTE IS CONTAINED, AND NO NUCLEAR WASTE CASKET HAS EVER LEAKED IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN NUCLEAR POWER.
NUCLEAR POWER IS SAFE.
IT'S EFFECTIVE.
IT DOES LESS DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAN COAL, OR EVEN WIND AND SOLAR WHICH REQUIRE A FUCK TON OF LAND AND TOXIC METALS FOR WHICH WE HAVE NO PLAN TO DEAL WITH.
NUCLEAR POWER IS THE CLOSEST THING TO A PERFECT ENERGY SOURCE THE HUMAN SPECIES HAS EVER DISCOVERED.
WE'VE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY SINCE THE 1950S. IF WE EMBRACED IT FROM THE START, WE WOULDN'T HAVE CLIMATE CHANGE TODAY. WE COULD HAVE HAD ALL OF THE AIR CONDITIONING WE EVER WANTED, ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER MODERN CONVENIENCE WE'RE CONSTANTLY SHAMED FOR TODAY.
BUT WE SAID NO.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING AS A SPECIES?
ARE WE FUCKING RETARDED?
They get oneshotted by milk so hard it freaks them out, to the point where there is an extremely consistent theme in Hollywood where they go out of their way to associate drinking milk with being an extremely dangerous individual who is specifically inclined towards hyperviolence
At market open, we ride.
For the bagholders. For the believers. For every man who ever stared at a 4-for-4 and saw freedom.
Wendy’s, open the gates.
$WEN
ARE WE BEING GOUGED AT THE PUMP?
The last time oil was $70 a barrel, gas cost $2.40 a gallon af the pump. Gas is now $3.99 a gallon here in WV.
Yes we are being gouged.
Every corporation in America is running the same experiment right now.
How much will we pay before they stop?
Bag of chips at $8. They found out.
$20 cocktails. Still paying.
$400 weekly grocery bills. Still paying.
$800 car payments. Still paying.
They will keep raising prices until enough people say no.
And because most Americans have no alternative.
The answer keeps being yes.
That is not a market.
That is captivity.
You guys are being TRICKED and its all a LIE ‼️‼️this BILL does not ban corporate landlords. It protects them. It enforces an oligopoly.🚨🚨🚨
News says “The legislation bans institutional investors from buying new homes if they own 350 or more units.”⬅️⬅️
This is the trick 👌 Who owns 350 homes? Only the Big Guys (Blackstone, Invitation Homes, Progress Residential). These are the firms who already bought up the neighborhood.
Who is trying to buy 350 homes today? Small competitors (Private equity firms trying to expand, regional investors).
So by setting the cap at 350, the government has effectively banned any new competitors from entering the market to challenge the giants.
The "350 Club" has been sealed. Blackstone can keep the 50,000 homes they already own. They are safe. But if a new try-hard private equity firm wants to grow to 351 units to compete with them they can't.
This is not a restriction; it is a License to Exist as a Monopoly. It freezes the current power structure in place. It prevents new Wall Street giants from destroying the old Wall Street giants. The incumbents wrote this rule to kill their future rivals.🚨🚨🚨🚨

2. BUILD-TO-RENT" LOOPHOLE: THE 7-YEAR EXECUTION
The bill creates an exception for "build-to-rent" projects.⚠️
This ensures there are only new homes built specifically for rent."
An earlier version of the bill required these "build-to-rent" homes to be sold to individual homeowners after seven years. This was designed to eventually turn rentals back into owned homes.🚨🚨🚨
Congress removed the seven-year sell-by provision in the final bill.
Reality? 🚨🚨🚨
Wall Street can now build massive subdivisions of starter homes and rent them out forever. They never have to sell. They just got permission to become "Feudal Lords" on newly built land, instead of just buying up old neighborhoods. The government just incentivized the creation of permanent renter-classes on brand-new land.⚠️⚠️⚠️

3. THE REGULATORY STRIP-MINE
The bill "streamlines environmental reviews" and expands the "Community Development Block Grant."
The Hidden Intent?⚠️
This is the "Bribe to Big Business" hidden inside the populist packaging.
Developers have been blocked for years by water rights, zoning, and NEPA reviews.
• This bill weakens those barriers.
The Exchange: The "Left" gets to say they punished Wall Street (the 350-cap). The "Right" gives the Developers what they really want: the ability to bypass environmental laws and penalties to build cheap, fast houses without oversight.
🚨🚨🚨
——
4. THE "CBDC" STEALTH BAN
Section 1001 prohibits the Federal Reserve from creating a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) until 2030.🚨
The Logic ?
What does banning digital currency have to do with housing?
Nothing. It is a completely unrelated subject.
But The Hidden Driver?⚠️
The "Anti-CBDC" lobbyists used this massive housing bill as a "Must Pass" vehicle to kill digital currency surveillance.
Because If a digital dollar existed, the government could track every rent payment.
Hedge funds and landlords want privacy. They attached their pet project to the "Housing Relief" bill so no politician would dare vote against it.⚠️🚨
So By passing the "Housing Bill," Trump also signed the death warrant for Fed-issued cryptocurrency. The "Housing" title was a disguise for a financial coup against the Treasury.🚨
WHO WINS?
The Loser:
• New Startups: Private equity firms trying to enter the market are killed by the 350 cap.
• The Renters: They face a permanent future where "build-to-rent" is the norm because the law incentivizes corporations to build rental empires rather than sell to families.

The ‘JACKASS’ crew has been immortalized in the sky as each cast member has been gifted their own star forming a giant penis constellation.
The final Jackass movie ‘Jackass: Best & Last’ releases in theaters this Friday.
They’re bringing back the ball chiller
Imagine a startup that uses social media to build something the public actually wants
At a very minimum, the sharp spike in attention that this startup is receiving should be a CLEAR notification to the big 3 that they’re missing the mark
