It feels like I'm a character in the Sims, and the girl who plays me doesn't know a single cheat, and as a result I work for 2 weeks to buy a lamp.
My hot take is US Senators should be paid whatever theirs states minimum wage is. That's how you represent your constituents, you live like them.

You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are diong. That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens. Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement and behavior. A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.
Twatter post from POS governor greg abbott, 'a city owned water park in grand prairie openly advertised a muslims only event closed to the general public. That's religious discrimination. It's unconstitutional. I signed hb 4211 into law banning mulim only no go zones in Texas. The city must cancel the event and commit to never allowing something like it again by May 11th or lose $530,000 in state grands. let this be a lesson to local officials. Facilities funded by all taxpayers are not just for a subset of texans.

2022: Stop overreacting, they won't overturn Roe. They did. 2023: Stop overreacting, they won't let women die rather than get an abortion. They did. 2024: Stop overreacting, they won't arrest women for miscarriages". They did 2025: Stop overreacting, they won't turn women into incubators. They did. 2026: Stop overreacting, they won't attack mifepristone. They did, today. Now: Stop overreacting, they won't go after birth control next. They will.
I still can't believe we grew up being told that women living alone in the woods with their cats, eating anyone who bothered them were wicked. Those bitches were geniuses.

I built an automation in once night because I was tired of staring at my wife across the breakfast table at 7am trying to come up with 'feelings'. Here's what happened: Last Tuesday, I sat down with coffee trying to write an anniversary card. minutes later, I had three words, Happy Anniversary Susan and a migraine. That's when it hit me-why am I loving my spouse manually? By Wednesday morning I had a complete romance pipeline running. Every day at 8am chatgpt generates three spontaneous compliments based on my communication style and are texted to my wife automatically. Total build time? one evening. This is the exact system running the household right now. The thinking of you beautiful text she read today was approved from my phone while I was crushing a deadlift. Here's what I learned: Most husbands are grinding on emotional labor that could be automated in a night. We're so busy working in the marriage that we forget we can build systems to work for the marriage. You don't need to be a couples couselor. You don't need a massive emotional budget. You just need to stop accepting manual human connection as an answer. What's one relationship milestone you're experiencing manually right now that you could automate this week?

Like, when I come home from work, she's like, i missed you all day. And I'm just like, 'printer settings'. And she's probably thinking' why are you like this?'.

Photo of a cybertruck captioned, "The cybertruck is a perfect work of art. Has any vehicle ever so fully captured the failure of performative American masculinity? It takes up way too much space everywhere it goes, it's tauntingly ugly as if to say 'yeah what bro? to every set of eyes and functionally it's kind of bad at everything. It insists upon it owns toughness but can barely make it uphill. I know that every car attracts that's car's type, but I've never seen a car so expertly satirize its drivers."

So, no, the WH didn't say this, BUT, in my defense, it sounds exactly like something they would say considering the garbage coming out of that place. I stand by my Brylcreem comment though. He looks smarmy, just like his father & I don't normally criticize looks b/c hey you can't help your genetics.

Post showing pic of two similar looking dogs (both stinking adorable) that reads: My fam got Louise from a breeder years ago. Tell me why, Louise is at the park & stops dead in his tracks when seeing this dog. turns out they are from the same breeder, have the same parents, meaning they are brother & recognized each other. That shit made me cry.

Today's 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court is a Victory for the American People and a Win for the Separation of Powers enshrined in the Constitution of the United States. In Learning Resources, Inc. V. Trump, our Supreme Court has reaffirmed that the Constitution grants Congress - not the President - the power to tax. American families and American businesses pay American tariffs - not foreign countries. With this decision, American families and businesses can breathe a sigh of relief. I'm proud of the work our organization @AmericanFreedom has done on this case through our robust amicus brief program to advance economic freedom and defend the Constitution. With this historic decision, America can now return to the pursuit of Free Trade with Free Nations under the Constitution of the United States!

One of my best engineers quit yesterday. Not for money. Not for a better title. The exit interview took 4 minutes. He said one sentence, "I'm tired of proving I'm not lazy". This is the engineer who saved us $2mil last quarter. Who fixed the production issue no one else could touch. Who shipped three months early. Last month, we gave him a performance bonus. Yesterday, we sent him a Slack message: "why weren't you available at 9am?" This was the day after he fixed a critical incident at 2am. He didn't give two weeks notice. He said, "I already gave six months". How many of your best people have already quit. They just haven't told you yet.

From the FB page of Eats History: One thing you'll notice pretty quickly if you start cooking your way through Apicius, like I have for this roman recipe book, is that a surprising number of recipes call for long pepper, not black pepper. That sent me down a rabit hole. What is long pepper, how is it different, and why did the Roman rely on it so heavily? Long pepper (piper longum) was actually the dominant for of pepper in the Roman world. When Roman text mention piper, they're often referring to long pepper rather than the round peppercorns we all know today. For centuries this was the pepper that defined Roman heat and spice. The flavor difference is immediately noticeable. Black pepper hits fast and sharp, then fades. Long pepper is slower and warmer. It builds gradually, with a lingering head and a deeper, more complex profile. There's an earthly sweetness to it, sometimes even a slightly musky or floral note. When you're working with Roman sauces full of garum, wine, vinegar, herbs and honey, that kind of heat makes sense. There were practical reasons for this too. Long pepper entered the Mediterranean world earlier than black pepper through Indian Ocean trade routes. For a long time, it was more familiar to Roman merchants and cooks. It was also expensive, heavily trades, and closely tied to status. Roman medical thinking also played a role. Writers believed long pepper had warming properties that aided digestion and balanced heavy or 'cold' foods. In Roman cooking, spice weren't just seasonings. They were part of how food was thought to affect the body. Why did it disappear? Trade changed. Black pepper was easier to ship, easier to store and cheaper to move in bulk. Over time, it replaced long pepper in European kitchens. Long pepper didn't vanish because it was worse. It vanished because commerce favored efficiency. When you cook Roman recipes with long pepper today, things start to click. The flavors feel rounder and the sauces make more sense.
