Mexican food is the best food on the planet by a landslide. People that say, ‘it’s just the same stuff plated differently’ need to stop ordering off the kids menu. It’s not all quesadillas and queso just like American food isn’t nuggets and fries. Italian, Chinese, Japanese, etc. aren’t even coming close to Mexican. 🇲🇽 🫡

For many British visitors coming to the U.S. for the World Cup, driving becomes an adventure of its own. Different road sizes, unfamiliar signs, and the experience of driving on the opposite side of the road can make even a simple trip feel challenging. The contrast between driving cultures is fascinating. What feels normal to one country can seem surprising to another, and every traveler learns to adapt while discovering a new way of moving through the world. These moments are part of what makes international travel memorable, not just the games, but the everyday experiences along the way. How many things do we assume are universal until we see them through someone else’s eyes?

For many Europeans visiting the U.S. for the World Cup, renting a car becomes an unexpected cultural experience. The size of American vehicles, the technology inside them, and even the idea of autonomous features can feel completely different from what they are used to. Some are amazed by the space and comfort, while others are surprised by how large some vehicles feel on the road. Even simple things like figuring out whether a car uses gasoline or diesel can become part of the adventure. Travel is full of these small discoveries that connect different cultures. How many everyday things do we take for granted until someone from another country experiences them for the first time?

There is something terribly wrong about an economy that produces its first trillionaire, but cannot provide health care for its people. Or one in which the richest handful of families have the combined wealth of almost forty percent of the rest of the country. This is the cost of a corrupt system, where wealth perpetuates itself, and poverty, at the same time.

If you are celebrating Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire while living paycheck to paycheck, I have secondhand embarrassment for you.

The gag order lifted. And the mask came off with it. After sentencing, Austin Metcalf’s father Jeff Metcalf went live on TikTok and was caught on a racist rant about Karmelo Anthony, including calling him a “watermelon felon,” saying Black people get “all the free sh*t we give you,” claiming “400 years ago someone sold you to us,” and attacking Black fathers for not being involved in their children’s lives. This is the same man who stood in that courtroom and said “this was never about race.” The prosecution struck every qualified Black juror from the panel. A gag order silenced public response for nearly a year. And the moment the muzzle came off, this is who he showed us he was. Karmelo Anthony did not get a fair trial. And now the victim’s own father has confirmed in his own words what this community has known from the beginning. 🎥: @SamsonCrouppen

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

Austin Metcalf is dead. Let’s stop dancing around the obvious. Austin Metcalf received the death penalty. Karmelo Anthony received 35 years. One of them lives. One of them gets a gravestone. Save the faux outrage. The real victim in this case is NOT the convicted killer. The real victim is the young man who will never come home again and the family that will spend the rest of their lives grieving a loss that can never be undone. This was a track meet. A place for competition, teamwork, and sportsmanship. NOT violence. NOT murder. And spare us the racial narratives. Murder is wrong regardless of the race of the victim or the perpetrator. Any decent society should be able to agree on that. Austin Metcalf lost everything. His family got a life sentence of grief. And while some are busy turning this tragedy into a racial debate, the Metcalf family is looking at the empty chair at the dinner table and remembering who actually paid the highest price. Austin Metcalf got the death penalty. Never forget that.

@WesleyHuntTX People get stabbed everyday. Plenty of them live. Stabbing does not implicitly imply the decision to murder. What it definitely does imply is that he wanted to end the aggressive altercation which began when Austin put his hands on him after being warned not to.

There's an old fella with an account called 'dinewithkent' that goes around Texas reviewing ethnic cuisines recommended by his followers. In this episode, we see Kent overcoming a language barrier to get his hands on some Honduran food 🇭🇳
