Can’t believe my wheel fell off at 70mph after @DiscountTire installed my wheels incorrectly. #fail #tire #wheel #discounttire

When did flights anywhere in the US become $500 round trip?

Miss the old days of Southwest with two free checked bags.

Didn't know how good we had it.

@ChampRDS STRAIGHT ASSASSIN. wow.

Jimmy Carr shared a brutally honest take on life without kids that will hit hard for anyone who's ever weighed the choice:

“Not having kids was like living life with a cheat code on the video game. Super easy. Low stakes. No real skin in the game.”

He continues:

Once you have children, your heart literally lives outside your body.

You worry about mortality differently — because now dying means saying goodbye to them.

Suddenly you're not playing on easy mode anymore. You're at the high-stakes table.

And his final word? “It’s very joyful.”

In 54 seconds he captures something profound:
The deepest fulfillment often comes from the highest risk — the one where you have everything to lose.

Parents: Does this perfectly describe the shift you felt?

Child-free: Does it change how you see the trade-off?

[DodgersBeat | Dodgers News & Interviews @DodgersBeat]

Remember when Dodgers were the butt of the jokes at 2011 ESPYs, how no one cared they got cheated of a title in 2017? How 2020 didn’t count? A Mickey Mouse ring. How they always will choke in the playoffs. Now who is laughing. All that laughing has turned into crying 😭

Why would ESPN piss off football fans by adding commercials to Redzone which prides itself on being commercial-free football?

I still believe in Mookie Betts, don’t care what anyone says.

My daughter recently had an ear infection.

Took her to the doctor, who prescribed an antibiotic.

That doctor visit cost $244. My insurance covered $60, so we owe $184 out of pocket.

I pay $556/month for family health insurance.

Something seems broken.

In April of 2006, Navy Seal Mike Day was shot 28 times. Shot
everywhere on his body but his head, he continued to fight with his
Sig 9MM pistol after the pistol grips and his thumb were shot off. With that handleless pistol he killed the three remaining bad guys. He then walked to a Medevac helicopter.

Athletes shouldn't be revered as heroes, men like this should be.

Yes, Mike survived.✝️🙏

Shout out to all the people that still don’t believe in conspiracies. Your ability to stick to your guns is inspiring.

Kike not starting 3rd while muncy is out should be a crime. @Dodgers
