@texasrunnerDFW @Brooksasaurus Living in the DFW the opportunities are ample. It’s a mix between tennis and squash and way more entertaining (and more physically demanding) than pickleball.

@Brooksasaurus No!

Took a pickleball class today for the first time ever As a former tennis player, I was thrown off by the serve and the scoring But it’s good to try new things, especially as we age, and all racquet sports are fun in their own way

@nocapcal @texasrunnerDFW Yes. Even kids are “pros” at this joke of an activity. There is no learning curve. The hardest part is learning how to keep score.

@texasrunnerDFW Is it easy? Can an athletic person with great hand eye coordination expect to kick everyone’s ass at pickleball?

President Trump just received a McDonald’s delivery order from a DoorDash driver outside the Oval Office! Thanks to President Trump signing No Tax on Tips into law, Sharron is using the $11,000 in tips that she made last year to support her family. 💰 🚗 🍔 🍟

@aakashgupta $25k in childcare here… guess how much the child and dependent care credit was? $200… talk about an incentive. While I don’t expect the government to raise my children… they certainly don’t incentivize people to have more children… they need the human power after all

The US spends $0 on federally mandated paid parental leave. Its fertility rate just hit an all-time low. And now we’re writing magazine pieces asking why parents have regrets. The US fertility rate hit 1.599 in 2024. Down from 2.1 in 2007. The country can’t replace its own population anymore. Three moms tell NY Mag they want their old lives back, and 70,000 people visit r/regretfulparents every week. Studies put the number at 8-14% of parents who’d choose differently if they could rewind. But the framing of “regret” as a personal feeling misses what’s actually happening. The cost of raising a child in the US hit $310,000+ through age 17 by USDA estimates. Childcare runs $12,000-$15,000 a year. The US is one of six countries on earth with zero federally mandated paid parental leave. You have a system that tells people parenthood is life’s greatest purpose, provides almost no structural support for it, then calls them broken when they struggle. The 70,000 weekly visitors to that subreddit aren’t experiencing a psychological anomaly. They’re the honest ones in a system where 62% of women say they’re unsure about having more kids and fertility just fell off a cliff. We keep calling this a stigma problem. It’s a policy failure.

@DanielDiMartino Será?

The Cuban regime is about to meet these seven gentlemen.

@turbotax @Intuit It is a bit outlandish that the cost to file my taxes is almost twice as much just because I have earned interested and dividends when competing products are priced much cheaper. I don't care for any "value added" product you offer. Should I look elsewhere?

$25K in daycare and only a $200 child and dependent care tax credit… and have more kids they say…

@Carlos_29_Rayo @WTA @itia_tennis Y eso que no estoy viendo el partido. Me cago lpm. Tan inútil es Beljek que no puede aprovechar la supuesta lesión?

A todo el que le guste el tenis debería denunciar actos como el que están protagonizando Sara Bejlek y Clara Tauson. @WTA @itia_tennis Esto es intolerable.

@VladTheInflator He should have been taken in for destruction of government property… but then… one thing is booking him another thing is prosecutors actually filing charges. Having said that… carrying a gun ≠ death sentence. We can’t cherry pick our constitutional rights.

@Timodc @AlexNowrasteh Curious who took his social media away, he’s been relatively quiet today on X.

Modest bad news that murder is not a fireable offense in this administration.

@nocontextmemes Though I prefer hotels, this is an apples to oranges comparison.

@BecauseCulture @Jenkins4Florida Ok, but I was referencing a passport. Not a national ID. Within the EU, an ID may suffice to travel, but it is not the same as a passport. Back to my point. It’s silly to walk around with it in your own country but they could easily modify future IDs to include POB/nationality.

@Na9el_ @Jenkins4Florida Pretty much all countries except the UK and the US. Some like France have a bit of a gray area. But it's easy because they all have national IDs.

“US CITIZENS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO SHOW PROOF” Welcome to Nazi Germany.

@BecauseCulture @Jenkins4Florida So you’re saying… for example… if you’re from Spain… and you’re in Spain… you have to carry your Spanish passport while going about your life in Spain? Just making sure I understand… If not Spain… please provide actual countries as opposed to responding “most countries”

@Na9el_ @Jenkins4Florida in most countries you do have to carry it though

@Castantine @BecauseCulture @Jenkins4Florida How would adding a field for nationality and/or place of birth infringe on the 4th amendment?

@BecauseCulture @Jenkins4Florida No.

@BecauseCulture @Jenkins4Florida They could certainly legislate/modify what gets printed onto ID Cards… some countries even go as far as indicating where the person was born on the ID Card. This doesn’t necessarily mean one has to go about their life with passport or birth certificate in hand.

@Jenkins4Florida most of the world has to carry a national ID that indicates their nationality

@haugejostein Does it apply to non-immigrant visas as well? Though I read immigrant visas?

The main host of the 2026 World Cup is freezing visa processing for nearly half of the world’s countries. I couldn’t make this up even if I tried.

@nomadgoods @nomadgoods

@nomadgoods Anyway you guys can make the MagSafe stronger? I’m all for nomad products but this Wallet comes off very easily.

Snap on, snap off. 😎

@CAgovernor Can California tenants be required to be considerate, respectful, and not smoke marijuana outdoors and cause a nuisance to surrounding neighbors with the pungent smell? They can smoke indoors or elsewhere… or vape…

California landlords are now REQUIRED to provide working refrigerators and stoves in all rental units. Providing essential appliances is just common sense.

@BosSportsBros @JohnLeFevre Puerto Rico is a U.S. Territory though… so what country would bad bunny be returning to if PR belongs to the U.S.?

@JohnLeFevre Is this a direct message to Bad Bunny?

Pitbull: If you don’t like the United States of America, go back to the countries that we came from, and you’ll see how much you appreciate the United States of America.
