@lippyent I had my brother's futon and a 2nd hand coffee table. No TV, so I placed the radio on the coffee table and listened to it like I just had no picture. Waited until my first paycheck to get the TV, the second to buy an IKEA TV stand.

What cheap furnishings did you have in your first place? Hmm 🤔?¿

This is spectacular:

@FoxNews such a good analogy for a presidency that's more concerned about the aesthetics (fake and gaudy) than the substance of anything.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says renovations are now underway at The Reflecting Pool — and thanks President Trump for backing the investment. “The Reflecting Pool is about to look better than ever!” Crews are already moving in, signaling a major facelift for one of the most recognizable landmarks on the National Mall. The Reflecting Pool’s surface is being repainted in “American flag blue.”

@PenguinSix what a waste of money and labor

Paint crews are busy painting the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue this morning.

@BillMelugin_ that means the DOJ has the capability to determine members of Congress or White House staff who did it, too. The same consequences should apply.

BREAKING: DOJ announces it has arrested a US Special Forces soldier who took part in the raid that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro after the soldier allegedly pocketed $400,000 by betting more than $30,000 on Maduro’s removal on Polymarket. Name: GANNON KEN VAN DYKE

@mericanic @ggreenwald we just sacrificed American lives and billions of dollars to get back to where we were before this stupid war. Stop believing what he says and pay attention to what actually happens. A new regime with control of the Straight and enriched uranium they won't give up.

@ggreenwald I mean, he re-raised after their bluff and they folded. What’s not to love?

Nobody in the "credentialed class" ever thought any American President could get the Strait of Hormuz opened. Dozens tried, yet they all failed: until now. Trump somehow did it. I never thought I'd live to see the day when the Strait of Hormuz was OPEN to movement of oil.

@ggreenwald No American President until Trump has been so rash, arrogant, and ignorant of foreign policy that he provided Iran with a leverage tool of closing the Straight. They've threatened many times, but now they know they can hold the world markets hostage. Asinine.

@charise_lee it's the uniform policies that are the problem, not the women.

Finally, someone said it‼️

@ConfidenceNzewi @C_red187 @charise_lee women were REQUIRED to wear the bikini shorts. They were penalized for wearing regular shorts.

@C_red187 @charise_lee What is your point with this screenshot?

@TheMichelleYu pretty much all equine sports, really, and it could be a 16 year old boy vs a 60 year old woman; Grand Prix, Western, harness, dressage. It's one of the coolest things about equine sports.

@1ssve when teachers during the pandemic used Google Slides to teach content and would share "Slide decks" with colleagues to teach during Meets.

At what point did we collectively decide to stop calling them “PowerPoint presentations” and start calling them “decks”?

@UziCryptoo that's some cheap debt they're paying off. I'd like to see their credit card balance, student loan rate, or car payments. Makes more sense to pay those down first.

Just heard the best/worst caller on the Dave Ramsey podcast. Married couple, under 30. $145,000 household income. Came on the show to celebrate paying off the mortgage on their $450,000 Georgia home. Said they starting paying it off early 5 years ago, meaning they had a low interest rate home loan (probably <3%) and started to aggressively pay it down right as interest rates were starting to rise. Dave Ramsey loved it, launching into a lecture about how 26-year olds who say they can’t buy homes should look at this couple for inspiration. Hahaha.

@AtomicCowFart @TheEXECUTlONER_ @gotrice2024 so they're going to leave their kids and hunt down someone else and cops will think they're the shooter. If that's truly what a teacher wants to do, they shouldn't be teaching. Completely different mindset.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ @gotrice2024 Imagine if a veteran who became a teacher was already armed and in the building. Even quicker response time.

This mother received a text from her son that their was an active shooter at his school. She called her husband who had their young daughter with him and had just left and he came back home. He went inside and grabbed his weapon and headed to the school. Dad was on his way to save everyone's babies not just his own. This is why my kids will always have their phones in school. They need to be able report an emergency and be able to get a hold of mom and dad at a moment's notice. Can't imagine getting that text from one of my kids. Sad that families have to deal with this madness. We know cell phones can be a distraction and be bad but do you think kids should be allowed to have their cell phones at all times, if not for this very reason right here?

@TheEXECUTlONER_ we don't need random armed people showing up when everyone's locked down and trying to be silent. The first call goes to the police. They've trained for the scenario and know the layout because they've visited for that purpose. For all she knows, they were firecrackers.

@Ryanmariebach78 "That's a good question" in interviews. Also, "look" at the beginning of a response. I think it's the equivalent in the US of starting off with "well," but I find it annoying because I don't have anything to look at.

What's a common phrase that annoys you? "To be clear"

@coloneljen I'm so sorry. You gave her as good a chance as she could get.

Racing Peeps: after a long battle with colic my mare Steve’s Philly lost that battle this afternoon. She was 13. Thank you for your prayers. And comments. Right now devastated. She was the first horse I bought after Steve died.

@EclipseSports not for that price

For the low, low price of $18,500,000 you can own this piece of Maryland Vanderbilt family horse racing history. Folks think the State of Maryland should just buy it and make it a training center. Thoughts?

@LAB019 it would just bother me every time, and I'd wonder why they chose 9 as the inside post! 20 I would understand, but 9?!

@Holly_August Post position numbers…. Like do they really matter?? 😂

What's wrong with this photo? 😂
