It’s actually crazy how you grow up thinking home-cooked meals every day are just normal, then get older and realise how much time and effort it took your Mom to make that happen and how lucky you were to have that.

ngl i finally realized that dads tend to be less anxious as parents, and that actually makes it way easier to build confidence and discipline instead of fear

Ask God to restore your appetite for life. Your ideas. Your energy. Your curiosity. Your confidence. Your hope for the future. Sometimes you don't need a completely new life. You need to reconnect with the parts of yourself you stopped nurturing.

yes and i am telling you i am never, ever, ever, ever doing that again

After trying 20th-century cigarettes, Moclans Bortus and Klyden quickly develop a severe nicotine addiction. As they struggle to quit, withdrawal leads to intense arguments, hidden stashes, and a clash that Dr. Finn interrupts with a cure.

Fuck you HP, fuck you capitalism.

Capitalism is sucking the life and every last penny out of everyone.

I think one of the saddest things about modern childhood is the loss of cartoons as inheritance. I grew up watching Scooby-Doo reruns decades after it first aired. Kids today have more content than ever, but perhaps less shared cultural inheritance across generations.

A dead car is worth $500 at the scrapyard. A dead boat is worth negative $10,000. That single number explains the abandoned fleet in Marina del Rey better than anything about the economy.

Fiberglass is a resin-and-glass composite that can't be melted down like aluminum or steel. Separating the materials costs more than they're worth, so there is no scrap market for hulls. Disposal estimates in Europe run about $1,000 per meter of boat, which means scrapping a 35-footer costs more than most 35-footers sell for.

Now add slip fees. A slip in Marina del Rey runs $600 to $2,000 a month. Once a boat needs more in repairs than it would fetch, the owner is paying rent on an asset worth less than nothing, with a five-figure exit fee waiting at the end. Walking away stops the bleeding the same day.

And the wave is just starting. The fiberglass boating boom ran through the 1970s and 80s, and those hulls are all crossing 40 years old at once. The US retired 1.5 million recreational boats between 2003 and 2012. One industry study found 54% of end-of-life boats simply get abandoned.

The county side compounds it. LA's vessel disposal program lost half its grant funding, and only one vendor is authorized to haul boats out of Marina del Rey. So impounded hulls sit rafted together in the water, queued behind a single contractor.

France saw this coming and put an eco-tax on every new boat sold since 2018 to fund scrapping the old ones, because the last owner of a fiberglass boat always walks.

Fiberglass built the middle-class boating dream because it never rots. Nobody priced in that it also never dies.

This is literally going to be absolute cinema

Your brain deletes most of your ordinary days. It keeps almost every minute of a night alone in a foreign city. What's happening there is actually one of the more beautiful things about how your nervous system works.

Your brain is a prediction machine. When it can predict everything, like your commute, your kitchen, your same six streets, it stops recording. That's why whole months at home just vanish. But put yourself somewhere it can't predict anything and the system flips. Every sign, every smell, every crosswalk registers as new information. Dopamine tags all of it as worth keeping. This is why one week abroad feels longer in memory than a month at home. Your brain literally kept more of it.

The second thing happening is quieter. At home, some part of you is always tracking how you're being perceived. Your boss, your friends, the people who knew you at 22. In a city where nobody knows your name, that entire system goes offline.

And when it goes offline, the bandwidth doesn't disappear. It gets redirected inward.

That's the "realizing how far you've come" part. Your brain is finally recording again, the self-monitoring is off, and you're far enough away from your life to see the whole shape of it at once.

You spend years too close to your own life to see it. Then one night you're crossing a street on the other side of the world, and you finally have enough distance to look.

GENUINELY, i think that if we adopted a 4-day, 32-hour workweek with livable wages, people would be happier, healthier, and more present. There’s no reason we need to work this much. People need time to rest, enjoy their lives, and spend time with family and friends.

Hey @Nike and @DICKS…

If you’re wondering why y’all’s quarterly earnings stunk and your stock is getting pummeled…

This might be one of the reasons…

I’m on a business trip and forgot to bring a simple workout T-shirt. I found a Dicks Sporting goods store close to me, walked in and headed for the Nike athletic wear section. I picked it up and looked on the price tag….

$60.

Sixty bucks!? For a simple. One color, polyester t-shirt.

Y’all….It’s a T-SHIRT.

A cheap, little polyester t-shirt that cost you around $5 for some 12 year old kid in Vietnam to make.

For context. I make a pretty good living. Money isn’t a huge concern for my wife and I.

I saw that price and asked the sales lady if it was a mistake. She said it wasn’t.

I walked out the door.

It’s a Nike T-shirt.

Not a Ralph Lauren Polo or some higher end brand.

Here’s the crazier part. I drove down the street to @Dillards and guess what the non discounted Ralph Lauren Polo T-shirt’s were? $55.

Maybe it’s just me.

But you’re NIKE.

There’s no way…I mean NO WAY, I’m buying a polyester t-shirt for $60.

Let me get this straight... OpenAl was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. "To benefit humanity." Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he's on stage saying you'll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he's going to bill you to use it... Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they're not even hiding it anymore...

Plato told us that ATLANTIS was destroyed by a flood in a single day and night, and became an impassable barrier of mud…

The horrific flood disaster in Napal has truly illustrated that a catastrophic force of water has the power to erase everything from a civilization.

Meanwhile, virtually every ancient civilization spanning five continents around the world share legends of a great flood that destroyed those before them…because it happened 🌊
