No snark, I genuinely don’t get it. Trump is one of the least masculine, most juvenile public figures out there. He’s needy, whiny, defensive, terrified of strong women, and visibly intimidated by powerful men.
How does his base spin this into the ultimate “strongman” image?
People in the Dallas suburbs who laughed and confessed to you over drinks in 2024,
“I can’t believe Zillow says my house is worth $850,000. I couldn’t afford to buy it today. Who would pay that?”
Are now in 2026 all listing their homes for sale for $850,000 and posting on Facebook,
“Why is no-one buying my house?”
Yesterday I was sitting by the pool at the gym. There were few Muslim women in hijab and full Islamic dress.
Of course they weren't there to swim, they had come with their children, some with their husbands.
You can't help but notice how the men swim with the infidel women while the wife sits there in the sun, fully dressed.
One woman first loosened her hijab a little to let the air in, then pulled it back a bit, until it ended up on her neck, then she'd pull it back up.
You feel like she wants to burn that rag but just can't.
This reminded me of my mom. She never took the hijab off in her life, except one day. We went out as a family, but my dad made sure we were far from anyone who might recognize us, and he let my mom wear a skirt, without a hijab, that day.
I've never seen my mom that happy.
Hijab is not a choice, and even when a woman chooses it, she does so because she was programmed.
It is abnormal and against humanity, and what it does to a woman, and to society, goes far beyond what you'd think.
When an adult realizes they're autistic and/
or ADHD, they also have to process the
fact that they are disabled - they've been
disabled their WHOLE LIFE - and they have
most likely never had _any_ support or
understanding.
They didn't even realize they needed any.
That's a _lot_.
If you have under $10 million and you are buying Apple, you have voluntarily entered the one fight in all of public markets where you have no edge, no advantage, and no reason to exist.
There are 40 PhDs, three sell-side teams, and a sovereign wealth fund modeling Apple’s next quarter to the penny, and you, with your brokerage app and your podcast opinions, have decided to join that table. You will not find a mispricing in Apple. The mispricing in Apple was arbitraged away before you finished reading the headline.
Meanwhile there is a $90 million industrial parts distributor in Wisconsin that no analyst covers, no fund can buy because the position would take six weeks to build, and no institution will touch because it would not move the needle on a billion-dollar book. That is your table. That is the only table where being small is an asset instead of a punchline. Your size, the thing that feels like a limitation, is the single greatest structural edge available to a human being in public equities, and you are spending it on the most picked-over stock on Earth.
The big funds cannot follow you down here. That is the entire point. Go where they physically cannot fit.
I haven’t seen Obsession or Backrooms yet but I think it’s absolutely great that original films by new young filmmakers are dominating right now while Star Wars slop bombs. I’m guessing the next soulless Marvel bullshit will underperform too. People are tired of the slop. They want interesting original stories.
I tried to cancel 4 subscriptions yesterday.
Three of them forced me to call, wait 45 minutes, and listen to a "retention specialist."
I hung up on the third one. Sent one email instead.
Federal regulators have already said the exit must match the entrance. Sign up online in two clicks? Cancel online in two clicks. No phone maze. No guilt trip.
They are just hoping you never quote it back to them.
Here is the sentence that ends the runaround:
Her Apple Watch battery dropped to 78% after just one year.
She wore it daily. She charged it overnight. She used it like every other Apple Watch owner she knew.
Yet her battery had degraded faster in 12 months than her iPhone had in 3 years.
She took it to the Genius Bar, expecting them to confirm it was defective.
The technician ran every diagnostic.
"Your watch isn't broken. It's just been running 24 hours a day doing things it doesn't need to do. There are 4 default settings on every Apple Watch that hammer the battery overnight. Apple knows. They've known since the first Series 1 launched. They don't change the defaults."
She asked why.
He gave the same answer Apple Store employees have learned to give silence.
Then he opened the Watch app on her iPhone and walked her through everything.
Here's what he showed her. 🧵
I'm 35 and happily unmarried.
Though some people judge me for it, it's not like I never wanted to get married. I tried. It just didn't work out, and eventually I stopped feeling the need for it.
Whenever I met someone, I only had two conditions.
First, I would never quit working after marriage. I have dreams, goals and things I still want to achieve. I'm happy to contribute financially to the family, but my career is non negotiable.
Second, I would continue supporting my own family. I've been handling responsibilities at home from a very young age and I don't want all of that to suddenly fall on my brother alone.
Interestingly, many of the guys themselves didn't seem to have a problem with it. In fact, some were impressed by how independent I was and how much responsibility I handled. The bigger issue was often with their families. They wanted a different kind of daughter in law and that's where things usually ended.
And for that, I'm actually grateful. At least nobody lied just to get married.
Living life on your own terms comes with a price. But over time, I've grown to love my freedom, my work and the life I've built. I'm not willing to settle for less.
A partner should encourage your dreams and enjoy life with you, not ask you to shrink yourself.
Otherwise, being alone is perfectly okay too.

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.
In the 1960s, doctors married nurses. Today doctors marry doctors. Economists ran the counterfactual and found that if Americans married randomly, the income Gini would drop from 0.43 to 0.34, exactly where it was in 1960. Who pairs with whom is now a top driver of national inequality.
@libero1@MEXC_CST I've been in this kind of situation in d past & it eventually got resolved but the resolution has to come via MEXC's CS directly. If your docs keep getting rejected, then try & ask their CS which specific requirement is not being met rather than resubmitting the same documents.
An average person is carrying around 8-25 pounds of mucoid plaque in their intestines.

ADHD cannabis user here. I feel like people that don’t have ADHD really need to hear me when I say this.
Smoking marijuana impacts people with ADHD differently because of how our brains work.
Someone called me pretentious the other day for saying I read Dostoyevsky when I was 15, and that got me thinking—why have we created a culture where engaging deeply with ideas and challenging yourself is considered pretentious?
Most of us in our childhood used to imagine getting selected for the Indian team: a final against Aussie, McGrath bowling, first ball six, second six, third six... and so on, reaching the fastest hundred, with everyone shocked, "Who's this new sensation?"
Vaibhav Suryawanshi is living that dream!
A 29-ball 97 today with 12 sixes and a strike rate of 334! What a generational talent! Hope he gets into the national T20 and ODI side ASAP and isn't held back by selectors' old-school thinking like, "Give him more time," "He's not ready," or "Let him mature."
Man, he is in a form that many top players couldn't match even at their peak. The right time is now, not after waiting for some imaginary "maturity" certificate.
My thirteen-year-old son Owen drowned in a lake last month during a fishing trip with my husband. His small body was never found.
A few weeks after his quiet funeral, my phone rang. It was his beloved math teacher. Her voice was shaking.
“Ma’am… I just found an envelope hidden in my desk drawer. It’s from Owen. Addressed to you. Please come to the school right away…….
Ok so who is the leaker?
President Trump canceled tomorrow's Camp David trip with the entire Cabinet, opting to have the meeting at the White House instead, due to "possible bad weather conditions."
Sundance thinks this was a canary trap to find a leaker.
The news of Donald Trump's planned Cabinet meeting at Camp David was first reported by Politico, from unnamed sources. Subsequent details were then published by the New York Post followed by CNBC and CBS News, later confirmed the planned trip through unnamed White House officials and sources familiar with the matter.
Trump came out the next day and said the trip was off.
So now we know people leaked to 4 different news organizations and gave them different details, not Trump. You tell different staff different details and then wait to see who leaks what to whom. BOOM.
That is a classic, highly effective counter-intelligence tactic known as a canary trap or "barium meal test."
