My son is 3. He has a best friend named Marcus from daycare. Marcus's dad and I nod at each other during pickup. That's our whole relationship.
Last Wednesday he texts me: "Marcus won't stop asking about Eli. Saturday work?"
I say sure.
He picks Eli up at 10. By 11 I'm on the couch. Not doing anything. Just. Sitting. I didn't know I missed sitting.
Noon I eat a full meal. Hot. At the table. No one grabbed anything off my plate.
2pm my wife asks what I want to do. I didn't have an answer. I forgot I got to have one.
Marcus's dad texts at 5: "They're good. Eating now."
Cool. Great. Perfect.
7:45 he calls. "Marcus is losing his mind about Eli leaving. Sleepover?"
I said yes so fast I scared myself.
Drove home. Stopped for gas I didn't need. Just stood outside in the parking lot for a minute.
Went inside. Told my wife.
She had already opened a bottle of wine.
We watched two full movies. Nobody woke us up at 6am. I laid in bed until 8:47 just because I could.
Marcus's dad drops Eli off Sunday. Eli walks in, looks at me once, and goes straight to his toys.
Didn't ask where I'd been. Didn't care.
Bro same.
If we can't be taxed on unrealized gains, why the fuck are we being taxed on the new increased valuation of our home without selling it?
THAT'S UNREALIZED GAINS!
SHOULDNT IT BE A BIGGER STORY THAT THE US PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY SOLD A NONE EXISTENT PHONE AND IS NOW TELLING EVERYONE THAT PAID FOR IT THAT THERE IS NO PHONE AND NO REFUND 🙄
THE US PRESIDENT IS RUNNING HIS CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION FROM INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE AND IT IS A HORRIFIC LOOK FOR AMERICA 🤷
kim kardashian failing the bar exam so many times that she gives up on being a lawyer is making me realize the american bar association might just be one of like three remaining institutions in the us that won't just roll over and give the exorbitantly wealthy whatever they want
On June 16th, 2025 Trump announced a new "Trump Phone" available for preorder.
$100 preorder towards a $500 phone.
To date, he's received 590,000+ preorders, taking in an estimated $59 million in sales.
Last month in April, Trump updated the Preorder terms stating there is "No guarantee a phone will be produced or sold".
This is beyond grifting.
And the Trump phone (which will never happen), is the perfect representation of the Trump Presidency:
A bait & switch scam.
He stole their money and told them to cry more.
So, the Trumpers who signed up for the $500 Trump phone YEARS ago and have still not received them just got an email saying they will NEVER receive them and.....wait for it.....wait for it......
Trump's keeping their deposit.
🤣😂🤣 Art of the grift.
My most socialist position is that all NFL, NBA, and MLB playoff games should be on network TV - kids whose parents can’t afford or don’t have streaming services should still be able to watch
I just want to point out....
The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.

Big Oil is using the Iran War to rip off Americans at the gas pump.
Let’s end the Iran War & pass a windfall profits tax-NOW.
