Body positivity activist Tess Holliday says she’s blocked her entire family because they are “quiet” on Palestine, Congo and Sudan “I literally blocked my brother yesterday. I’m not speaking to my mom, my stepmom, my dad…I’m like, who can I block next?”
A few things I should’ve added earlier: A) I charged him $300 for my $1500 loan B) he’s selling these locally so hopefully no shipping costs (although we’re making exceptions for a few people who reached out after seeing my last post who want to support him which I truly appreciate) C) the rugs are in our barn so storage is free (luckily) D) the $35 average price I mentioned is worse case scenario- hoping the avg will be closer to $50+ E) I think/hope he’s going to want to take the profits from this first job and buy another set of rugs or something else to sell next and make more money F) I also think/hope his younger siblings learn via osmosis and/or become his employees G) I’ll update after a couple weeks with what he’s done so far! H) right now (New Year’s Day 2026) he’s organizing them, taking pictures, cataloguing, and making sure the rain doesn’t get on any of them (our barn’s roof isn’t very structurally sound haha) Let me know if you have any other questions!
This is my son. He is almost 16 and wants a vehicle. I refuse to buy him one and told him he needs to pay for it himself. He got a job as a rec basketball league referee and quickly realized how long it would take to save up enough money to get a $3k car making $12/hour. Then I showed him some cooler $6k options on Bring a Trailer and he got the itch to make more money. I gave him countless ideas to pursue. He wasn't feeling any of them. Then I decided to show him some podcast episodes from @mhp_guy (he's listened to some from Chris before and was a fan). No ideas were really hitting home until he heard an episode between Chris and @ShannonJean about reselling. He fell in love. So I showed him a few more and he was convinced that that was the route he should take. We started browsing B-Stock and then realized we need a state tax license and some other stuff so we got that all set up. Then we browsed some more. Endless deals. We settled on buying 115 rugs at an average of $13/rug after shipping. They're all Costco returns. Various sizes, some in better condition than others. He now has to figure out how to sell all these through my Facebook Marketplace account. I won't be helping him at all, other than answering questions and casually giving him strategic ideas here and there. If he can sell the rugs at an average price of $35 (keep in mind some are brand new and are 10' x 14' large), he'll make $2500 in profit. Then we can start car shopping :). P.S. Chris and Shannon - thanks for the motivation!!!
What’s the logic behind being upset about the reflecting pool upgrade? It looks nicer?
Young socialist Mamdani supporter posing in fur coat and Chanel bag making fun of a woman for buying a Temu dress. Typical socialist behavior. Socialism for thee, not for me.

This is awesome: The Pittsburgh government is cleaning up the streets for the NFL draft this week. Crews are painting over graffiti, making electrical repairs to the enhanced lighting system and picking up litter. Allegheny County is doing it right 👏
I’m convinced national Republicans spent more money trying to save John Cornyn (who campaigned on giving amnesty to over 10 million illegals) from a primary challenge to his Right than they did trying to save four GOP congressional districts in Virginia.
