I was at Walmart today, minding my own business and checking out the zucchini.
A woman walked up next to me with who I assume was her husband. She was wearing a hijab.
And then… absolutely nothing happened.
She went about her shopping. I went about mine. Her choice to wear a hijab had absolutely zero impact on my day, my freedom, or my ability to buy zucchini.
She didn’t tell me I needed to wear one.
She didn’t try to force one on me.
She didn’t hold me down and put one on my head.
I know. Crazy, right?
Almost like people can practice their own religion, wear what they choose, and live their lives without forcing everyone else to live the same way.
Wild concept.
Every. Fucking. Word.
Comedian Cliff Cash delivers a brutally on-point takedown of the so-called “tough” MAGA men, describing Trump as “a dying pedophile…with a pussy on his neck, who paints his face orange every day and shits in his pants.”
Watch the whole thing. 🔥
Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
The older I get, the more I understand why people disappear into gardening baking, reading, and long walks. Not because life got boring. Because peace became valuable.
I’ve never seen nostalgia articulated so well in-
1) a picture, and
2) the first comment.
The switch from soft orange light to pure white really did strip emotion out of a lot of our reality.
DL Hughley on Zohran Mamdani: “This Muslim is putting Christians to shame. There is more to say for a man that lifts the poor, that feeds the hungry, that walks among the people, than powerful white men who consort with a pedophile. Who’s the more Christlike?”
Hunter Biden: “As it relates to Donald Trump, fuck him. Fuck his son. Fuck his daughter. I mean it, all of them, the whole family down to the grandchildren. I hope for the rest of time their names will live ignominy. They have done the most awful things to my family and to me”
