@anymanfitness That sounds awesome!! How does your wife like those temperatures? 😆

I can imagine many fights among heterosexual couples on the thermostat temperature.

I made a lot of videos about the pandemic. I think this is the best one. It captures the insanity really well.

What would Americans lose if the Senate were to debate the SAVE America Act for at least four consecutive weeks—requiring filibustering senators to speak—in an effort to pass it?

Last year, 94% of new jobs went to women, even though women are less than half the workforce.

Which helps explain why millions of women keep asking where all the men with jobs went.

From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJOpinion: Elon Musk officially entered the canon of the greatest inventors, builders and capitalists not only of our time but arguably of humankind. What a time to be alive. What an extraordinary era to build, writes @EliseStefanik.

@Polymarket while he is at it, why doesn't he tax any cash transitions.

@libsoftiktok I still prefer this vehicle to be spelled like "mo-ped".

Until 2013, the AP style guide had written it like this as to avoid the past tense of the word "mope".

A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…

It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.

…It has piqued your interest.

You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.

If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.

It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.

And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.

Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.

This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙

☀️ Big news for sunscreen users:

@US_FDA has approved Bemotrizinol — the first new sunscreen active ingredient approved in the U.S. in more than 20 years.

More innovation.
More options.
More than two decades in the making.

@OwenGregorian Whatever happened to the standard 15% tip. When I was growing up, 15% was standard. Giving out a 20% tip meant the waitress did an exceptional job. Now 20% is standard? Now the tip is often determined by the after-taxed amount. Tipping culture is out of hand.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

SpaceX IPO will create 4,400 new Millionaires, from engineers to Cafeteria workers.

God bless Capitalism
