If I had Elon's money I would solve world hunger instantly.😡 Sent from a device purchased with with a sum of money that could have been used to feed an Ethiopian family for a year, but wasn't, because my generosity is purely hypothetical.

@chicfryrice @MainstreamViews Hope so. Basically the same.

@MainstreamViews Would the same thing happen if someone said “I don’t want to work for a gay person” or “I don’t want to work for a woman” etc.

Rejecting a job by saying "I don't want to work for a Jew" is extremely unprofessional and shows extremely low impulse control. Was it bad of the company he interviewed with to "dox" him. I guess but if you send an e-mail under your real name that says "I don't like Jewish people" to a Jewish person, what did you expect to happen?

@ItsDeanBlundell How is this Trump's fault? Genuinely asking - I want to learn.

Trump did this. You can’t find a ticket for a game in Canada. They can give them away fast enough in the U.S.

@readswithravi "All the Kings Men" by Robert Penn Warren. 1947 Pulitzer Prize winner about politics (Huey Long). Book club was amazed by it.

what is the best book you’ve read in 2026 so far?

Just a reminder that drinking water, working out, and minding your business all do wonders for your health.

Most people don’t need another productivity hack. They need a 20-minute walk. No notifications. No meetings. No screens. Just sunlight, movement & enough silence for your nervous system to remember what calm feels like.

The older I get, the more I realize that optimism is a competitive advantage. Not blind positivity. The belief that problems can be solved. That things can improve. That your actions matter. People who believe a better future is possible are the ones who create it.

If someone asked you today why you live differently — what would you say? There's a reason you don't fall apart the way everyone else does. A reason you can show up with peace in the middle of chaos. Forgiveness when you've been wronged. Hope when the situation says there's nothing to hope for. That's not personality. That's not positivity. That's Jesus. And the people in your life — at work, home, in your everyday, they're noticing something they can't quite explain. One day they're going to ask you about it. Be ready to tell them why.

@HistoryBoomer Bravo!

These right-wing influencers jabber about Homer and Ovid, but in their daily lives, they know nothing about culture. They spend their hours glued to Tucker Carlson compilation videos and TikToks on seed oils. But because I'm an actual intellectual, not a MAGA wannabe, I have Proust cradled in my lap right now. Have I read it? Not yet. But I own it; I fondle it; I take trips with it to Whole Foods to buy Thai Curry Cashews. And when I get back, I'm ordering every book on The Guardian list, printed by a womyn-sourced Marxist publishing collective, and I will line them up on my Restoration Hardware Oslo Shelving (Aged Brown Oak veneer) where they will gather dust and admiring gazes from DoorDash delivery guys. That's what separates us from them, civilization from barbarism. #Resist

@annbauerwriter @DagnyTaggartUSA Quick Google seems to show cheaper gas in Covington than in St Paul. Maybe it's waaayyyy more expensive everywhere at the moment?

@DagnyTaggartUSA We moved from St. Paul, MN, to Covington, KY. I estimate our living expenses (groceries, services such as haircuts and veterinary bills) are 20-30% cheaper. NOTE: Whole Foods and Trader Joes are the same, no change in pricing by location GAS - waaayyyy more expensive here

One week of groceries for a family. Nothing extravagant. Just the bare bones in a blue state. I stay home. My husband only leaves the house to work. We have cancelled vacations. Taken our children out of extracurricular activities. Cancelled our gym membership’s. We do not go out to restaurants frequently. I’m wearing the same old clothes that I have for years and I need socks and underwear, but that will have to, I guess, never happen. @RFKJr_Official @POTUS @JDVance HELP!

Underrated life advice: Make yourself easy to root for. Be kind. Be reliable. Celebrate other people’s wins. Work hard without complaining. Carry good energy into rooms. You'll be shocked by how many doors open for you by making life better for others.

@Riley_Gaines_ Issue is with their parents, who don't want to admit their teen/adult child is mentally ill. They are aided by their friends who are "just being nice"

If you have to create a shared podium for the boy competing in the girls’ event, you’ve already admitted you know he isn’t a girl and that his participation is unfair. At that point, you're just seeking a public humiliation ritual for the girls.

@HistoryBoomer We all, including you, have had to decide what movies to see and not see. This tweet is ridiculous, unless you've seen every movie ever made.

I think you should see a movie before deciding whether it’s good or bad.

@BengalsDFW @Super70sSports My mother was a professor (PhD in Economics) and said the same thing. The ones who INSIST on being called doctor were the jerks. Simple test.

@Super70sSports I’m a professor and this is precisely the test I use to decide which of my colleagues are cool and which are douchebags. (There are way more douchebags.)

When I was a college student, I once addressed a professor as “Mister” and he condescendingly tut-tutted me and said “Doctor.” Hey, listen, unless you can save someone’s life or you’re Julius Erving, you can settle the fuck down with that energy.

@TheHerdBros @AriWasserman 12 teams but eliminate ESPN's oversized influence.

@AriWasserman Fox/B1G is pushing 24 for business reasons. ESPN/SEC is pushing no expansion for business reasons. What’s the best move for the CFB ecosystem?

Is a giant College Football Playoff inevitable? youtu.be/T1MAcM3IaM0?si…

@teepeetime4 @voteSmitherman @JeffRubys @ProcterGamble @kroger @WesternSouthern @VivekGRamaswamy @FifthThird @TheBanksCincy @JohnCranley @CincyPD @CinFop How is this relevant? His post said nothing about Trump. I don't like Trump, either. When Trump leaves office, Cincinnati will still face this issue unless we address it. Not everything is about Trump.

@voteSmitherman @JeffRubys @ProcterGamble @kroger @WesternSouthern @VivekGRamaswamy @FifthThird @TheBanksCincy @JohnCranley @CincyPD @CinFop Underage girls are safer at Fountain Square than they are around Trump and his friends… whether that’s on Epstein Island, Mar-a-Lago, or the Whote House

High crime will destroy any downtown. Downtown Cincinnati in trouble. A business downtown w/high rents can’t survive if guest/customers don’t feel safe. @JeffRubys @ProcterGamble @kroger @WesternSouthern @VivekGRamaswamy @FifthThird @TheBanksCincy @JohnCranley @CincyPD @CinFop

Literature is humanity’s longest conversation with itself about what it means to be alive. It has been going on for thousands of years. You are not late, you are not unqualified, you are not too much or too little or too broken. Pull up a chair. This conversation was always about you.

@dougboneparth Touch grass. Take a walk in nature, without a phone, multiple times per week. Observe the natural surroundings as you walk. No electronics. Ideally, hold hands with someone you love as you stroll. No work talk during the walk.

Try and reduce your stress levels. And if you succeed, please let me know how you did it.

Maturing in fitness is realizing that the kitchen does the main work, the gym amplifies it.
