@BohunickaNikola Hero.

2 years since Jonas’ near-fatal crash. Collapsed lungs, broken ribs, a broken collarbone… he thought he was going to die. Jonas had every right to walk away from cycling. He didn’t ❤️‍🩹 Since then: 1× Grand Tour win 2× Tour de France podiums 4× GC victories And he’s still going💪

Well. That made me feel more proudly American than anything Kid Rock has ever done.

Many people didn’t understand a word Bad Bunny said during his Super Bowl halftime performance, but it was iconic because you could feel the love of people and culture. Puerto Rican culture is American Culture. Together we are America.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

I was in high-pressure combat situations in Iraq, where I didn’t always know if civilians were a threat or not. But I was trained to de-escalate situations first — not to get drunk on power and shoot first. What the agents in Minnesota did was murder. foxnews.com/opinion/sen-ru…

Christian Nationalism looks like seeing Jesus hanging on the cross and saying, "he should have just obeyed the law." Christian Nationalism looks like the Samaritan leaning over to the man beaten on the side of the road and saying, "before I pay for your treatment and shelter, tell me, are you here legally?" Christian Nationalism looks like Jesus saying to his disciples before feeding the 5,000, "go make sure everyone here has a job and isn't just looking for a handout." Christian Nationalism looks like using the Bible to seek first the power of the empire rather than the self sacrificial love of Jesus. Christian nationalism looks like worshiping power rather than loving God and our neighbors. Christian nationalism looks nothing like the real Jesus. - @Brcremer

This is not the world we dreamed of for our kids.

I’ll never forget the people who let one raging madman rewrite their entire personality and value system. Watching folks abandon everything they once claimed to believe just to fall in line and excuse the most heinous behavior will be studied for years by psychologists and historians alike. Donald Trump isn’t just a politician. He’s an infection in the bloodstream of America, and the damage to our national soul is catastrophic.

@billbrextoncpa And this heroic action saved .0001% of your company's 2026 budget, but had a disproportionate impact on employee perceptions. Good finance leaders know where to focus their efforts.

Marketing sent a Slack asking what color hoodies people prefer. They said they're ordering company swag. I asked who approved it. They said it was implied in last year's culture budget. I said implications don't clear accounts payable. $68 per hoodie. Same hoodie without a logo: $22. I asked if our brand adds $46 of value. They said employees love free stuff. I said it's not free if we're paying for it. They said it boosts morale and retention. I said a $68 hoodie retains someone making $95,000? Order cancelled. The company will survive another quarter without $46 of embroidered cotton.

@MLFootball I'm glad I was there that day.

WHOLESOME: 6-years-ago, Eli Manning played in his last game for the #Giants, ending his legendary career in New York. Eli was extremely emotional & the crowd gave him one of the best ovations we’ve ever seen. 🥹🥹🥹 Eli left as a winner. Like he was.

@SNYGiants This guy is great. Class act.

Jameis Winston was asked if it's hard for him to potentially go back to the bench after how he played on Sunday: "I mean, as a competitor, like I’ve said always, what I want for myself, I want for everyone. Yeah, I want to play. That's just my heart. I love this game, I love the excitement that comes with it, I love really being the general that's leading the guys. But at the same time, like, what is my role? Right? My role if Jaxson isn't playing, okay, I'm playing. My role if Jaxson is playing, I'm supporting him like I would be supporting myself for him to be his very best. I take pride in that because one thing about the quarterback position is it’s only one, unless you're in New Orleans because of Taysom Hill... but anyways, it's only one of us that gets a chance to go out there and lead the pack. So, we have to be, the whole room, me, Russ, coach Tierney, we have to be all in behind our guy to give him the best chance to just do his best on Sunday or Monday or Thursday."

@sircalebhammer No one who has experienced the coastal cities will want to live In Dallas or Houston. Austin has a lot to offer but is also a small town lacking infrastructure and major cultural amenities. I wouldn't be so quick to declare Texas the future of the USA.

Texas is the future of the US economy. Dallas will own finance, Austin tech, Houston medical, and San Antonio… puffy tacos or something. If you can handle 3 months of extreme heat, this is where you should come build a business.

@mnolangray I was surprised when I realized that NYC has much better outdoor recreation than Austin. Texas generally sucks for the outdoors.

Austin is great and San Francisco has problems, but picking a fight with San Francisco based on access to outdoor recreation is nuts.

@AuburnEinstein Agree, but the commentator also deserves "worst announcing of all time."

@Devon_Eriksen_ Great post.

Buyers: "How much will this house cost me?" Sellers: "What's your budget?" Buyers: "Well, it was 500K, but with these new fifty year mortgages, I think it could stretch to million." Sellers: "I have an astonishing coincidence to report." Look, I don't know exactly who's retarded enough to need to hear this, but if you throw money at something, you get more of it. Which means that if you subsidize demand, you get more demand. And if you have the same supply, and more demand, price goes up. This is how the federal Stafford Loan program made college a gateway to permanent debt slavery. Subsidize demand, price goes up. The reason people don't understand this is that most people are only smart enough to think about individuals, not populations. They think if you have more money, you can buy more things, as if things come from the item store in a Japanese console RPG, where the store always has infinity stuff to sell you, and infinity money to buy your loot. People who are capable of thinking about large groups quickly realize that money is just a way of distributing things. Like, there's a limited supply of things, and you're just choosing who gets them. Having more money doesn't make more things. Except... it should, shouldn't it? Eventually? Like, if apples get super expensive, because somebody invented a new kind of apple that's so delicious that everyone wants them, then the price of those apples goes up, so more people start growing them. So why doesn't that work with houses and colleges? Why don't the super-inflated prices of those things inspire profit-minded people to make more? It's almost as if there were some sort of gatekeeper, whose permission you needed to make a house or a university. But that's impossible, because this is a totally capitalist country, so you can just do things, right?

@dougboneparth Same.

On days like today, I’m glad I’m diversified across stocks, gold and bitcoin because it allows me to lose money in three totally different ways.
