On July 4th, 2022, a protester tried to interrupt the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Joey Chestnut, mid-hot dog inhale, immediately put him in a headlock and then went right back to eating. He still won the contest that year. Legend.
As a man,
When you finally get your own apartment,
Kindly entertain the possibility that a friend may need to squat with you for a few days, weeks, or even months.
When that happens, give that guest or friend of yours the best hospitality you can afford.
There will be days you'll miss your privacy, but never give your friend an attitude or make him feel like an unwanted guest.
No temporary inconvenience is worth sacrificing a genuine friendship.
Most times, squatting is only temporary, and it may be one of the few moments in life when your friend truly needs you.
There will be frustrating days, but never fall into the temptation of talking down to your friend or making him feel like a burden.
Never deny a man a space to rest his head.
Today it's him. Tomorrow it could be you.
Be kind.

There’s somebody making $22,000/year in rural America going to bed right now that sincerely believes Donald Trump spent his whole day fighting for them.
something i’ve realized watching all of this play out
a sandwich that jumps from $8 to $14 never goes back to $8. rent that climbs from $1,400 to $2,200 stays at $2,200 forever.
gas, groceries, insurance, all of it. prices only move in one direction
inflation becomes permanent the moment everyone accepts the new number.
and we always accept it because we have no other choice
then workers ask for raises just to survive the prices they had nothing to do with creating.
and suddenly they’re the problem. they’re “hurting the economy” by wanting to afford food
the economy for who exactly.
because whoever it’s working for it sure as hell isn’t us
Weird to think about but our memories aren’t recordings of our lives. They’re just our brain’s most recent understanding of them. Every time you remember your childhood, your first day at a new job, your wedding, or the worst day of your life, you aren’t pressing play on a video. You’re reconstructing that memory using the version of yourself that exists today. Your beliefs, experiences, relationships, successes, failures, and your current mood can influence how your brain pieces it back together. Then your brain stores that updated version.
Think about what that actually means.
Your past isn’t changing. But your experience of your past never stops changing. The 15 year old version of you, the 30 and the 70 year old version are all remembering the same events through completely different minds. In a way, every version of you carries around a slightly different childhood.
We tend to think of the past as something frozen in time. But psychologically, it isn’t. It keeps evolving because you keep evolving. Every time you become someone new, you also become someone with a different understanding of who you’ve always been. Maybe that’s why time feels so weird. We think time only moves in one direction, but I believe it doesn’t. The future changes who you’ll become, and who you become changes the past you remember.
Which… makes me wonder if we’ve misunderstood the purpose of memory altogether. If evolution wanted us to remember perfectly, our brains would work like cameras. Instead, it gave us something that constantly updates itself. That seems like a terrible design for recounting history but also an incredible design for preparing for the future. Evolution doesn’t care if you remember your childhood exactly as it happened. It cares whether your memories help you make better decisions tomorrow than you made yesterday.
Maybe memories aren’t even records of the past. If you really think about it maybe they’re actually simulations for the future…
