Jim Courier on Novak Djokovic:
“Golf doesn’t compare men’s majors records with women’s majors records, so why do we do that in tennis? It makes zero sense. I’m over this graphic.”
We have been trained to treat the smallest hunger as an emergency. For all of human history it was the most ordinary state there was.
Every religion built fasting into its calendar. Lent, Ramadan, the Orthodox fasts that fill half the year. Going without food was treated as cleansing, even holy.
Every hunter fasted between kills, sometimes for days, then ate to bursting when the hunt came good. Feast and famine was the human rhythm long before three meals a day were invented.
The body is built precisely for the gap. Run it low and it turns to its own fat for fuel, sharpens the mind, and clears out worn cells.
Then the food industry arrived and crowned breakfast the most important meal of the day, a slogan dreamed up to sell cereal.
It taught you to dread the space between meals. To carry snacks. To eat six times a day. To treat plain hunger as a medical event.
Every culture in history knew how to be hungry for a while and be perfectly fine.
We are the first people ever sold the idea that an empty stomach is a problem, by the very people who profit each time you fill it.
One of Andrew Tate's CRAZIEST stories: 😱
"It was 4 in the morning, I was in a chicken and chip shop in England, there's a long line. An Audi with tinted windows pulls up. 3 big black guys get out, push straight in front of the whole line."
"My girl goes, we've been waiting here, and I said shut the f*ck up. She goes, you gonna let them push us, I go, SHUT THE F*CK UP."
"A guy in front of me couldn't tell his chick to shut up, she goes, excuse me, excuse me, there's a line..."
"This dude knocked her the f*ck out." 😳
"Clean. Cold. By the time her man looked at her and look back up. Sparked. Done."
"They started laughing, walked back out on the car, didn't even order the food."
"I turn around and tell my girl, some people are ready to k*ll people for f*cking nothing. You want me to fight over what, fries?" 🥶
Kadınlara aynı erkeğin 3 farklı araba önündeki fotoğrafları gösterildi.
Ortalama olarak, kadınlar lüks Mercedes'in önünde çekilmiş fotoğraftaki erkeği daha çekici buldu.
@Zwxsh Exactly! The Big 3 made winning GS titles look easy. Sincaraz, too. Just reaching a major final is a colossal achievement. This RG will hopefully open many eyes in that regard. A few casual and bandwagon fans will surely become a bit more appreciative.
What is expensive but no longer worth it?
1) first class domestic

5) Michelin-starred restaurants
6) a new iPhone every year
7) DoorDash and UberEats
8) Bottle service
9) Concerts and music festivals
10) Personal trainers
I certainly hope that President Trump can seal this deal, it would be historic.
That said, it will be nearly impossible for many of the countries to make a peace deal with Israel because of Gaza. It will also be nearly impossible for Israel to accept an end to the war w/ the current Iranian gov in power.
We don’t need a deal to just leave, playing referee in these disputes has gotten us nothing but death & debt.
Pull our troops out, negotiate pragmatic deals individually with Middle East nations, including Iran, as needed.
The American people don’t benefit from the empire we are trying to preserve.
I rarely eat out.
Maybe once a month. Went yesterday to a restaurant (Italian, Mediterranean) in West Seattle for Mother’s Day last night.
Total for 5 of us ( we don’t drink alcohol) with one salad, humus and 3 vegetarian pastas was $97
The check said 3.5% surcharge for credit card. Then 17% service fee, mandatory.
Then tips were 20% 22% and 25% optional.
I asked if I could pay in cash.
No. They don’t take cash. Then how can I avoid the credit card fee I asked.
You can’t.
So I asked why the service charge.
It pays for the employees they said.
Then why the tip I asked.
It pays for front office staff
I don’t get it.
@OwenShroyer1776@barnes_law Once upon a time… The month was February in the year of our Lord 2026. Iran also didn’t have a nuke and the Straight of Hormuz was open.
Marco Rubio’s 58-minute White House briefing on Iran was the most revealing statement yet from the Trump administration
Some will argue the briefing was overtaken by Trump’s later pause in Operation Freedom
That misses the point
Rubio revealed the strategic logic now driving the administration — and where escalation pressures could still lead
Here are the 5 most important signals
Having been called a liar by Anthony Fauci for saying that "not one of the 72 vaccines mandated for children has ever been safety tested", RFK Jr. sued Fauci.
After a year of stonewalling, Fauci's lawyers admitted that RFK Jr. had been right all along.
"There's no downstream liability, there's no front-end safety testing... and there's no marketing and advertising costs, because the federal government is ordering 78 million school kids to take that vaccine every year."
"What better product could you have? And so there was a gold rush to add all these new vaccines to the schedule... because if you get onto that schedule, it's a billion dollars a year for your company."
"So we got all of these new vaccines, 72 shots, 16 vaccines... And that year, 1989, we saw an explosion in chronic disease in American children... ADHD, sleep disorders, language delays, ASD, autism, Tourette's syndrome, ticks, narcolepsy."
"Autism went from one in 10,000 in my generation... to one in every 34 kids today."
The dollar is the reserve currency NOT because of the Petrodollar - that was absolute nonsense. It is because of capital flows and the depth of US financial markets. Weaponize it and you destroy the very foundation it depends on.
POTUS is laying out two courses of action—a negotiated settlement, or a major escalation.
There is a third option, and he should take it: recognize there is no way to force a positive outcome and simply leave.
The region is not ours to fix. President Reagan chose this path in Lebanon in ‘84, withdrawing U.S. forces after the Beirut barracks bombing once it became clear the mission’s stabilization goals could not be met, effectively ending direct American military involvement and avoiding a deeper quagmire and long-term entrenchment in the region.
A negotiated settlement is unlikely to work or be taken seriously by the Iranians unless we make concessions on the enrichment issue. As we saw yesterday in the SOH, the IRGC is empowered to act without the consent of the civilian leadership, so it’s likely they won’t honor any deal reached.
A major escalation will lead to a very destructive outcome for Iran, the region, and eventually the U.S. If POTUS chooses brute force and targets civilian infrastructure, we will create another generation of radicalized Iranians who will rally around the regime and escalate the war by any means possible.
If POTUS opts to strike the civilian infrastructure, declare victory, and then leave, we will only further erode our standing in the world, the petrodollar, and eventually our status as the world’s reserve currency holder. We need to get out now.
Don’t double down on failure. Avoid the sunken cost trap, leave now, and put America’s interests first.
Youth sports are usually a waste of time, money, and energy. They replace free play, exhaust families, dominate weekends, and frequently outrank church and family time.
