@komonews Does she perhaps make a million?

After more than two decades on Seattle television, KOMO News anchor Mary Nam is saying goodbye and signing off one last time. komonews.com/news/local/kom…

It feels like 80% of the FYP is AI crafted engagement bait. I refuse to believe people are being that obtuse and spineless out there witnessed by so many others with a story-telling penchant on X.

Governor Ferguson will sign his party's unconstitutional income tax into law tomorrow morning, ending over a century of Washington state tradition. But why did the Governor wait until the last possible moment to sign a law which he supported so enthusiastically? It is a cynical maneuver to undermine Washingtonians who oppose this unconstitutional tax from running a voter initiative against it. Over 300,000 signatures for an initiative need to be collected by July for it to be placed on the ballot, but signatures cannot be collected against a law that doesn't exist. So by waiting to sign his new income tax the Governor is literally trying to undermine the Democratic process, making the window to collect signatures as small as possible. On a weekend when thousands of people were chanting "No Kings" perhaps it would be wiser to look at the King closer to home.

@DisrespectedThe Oh honey. The next Republican that threatens "their power" of course. The next one is always ThE WoRsTeSt.

Who is the left gonna hate when Trump is gone?

@realMaalouf It's like God gave us all the tools we need to advance his Kingdom even in small ways we didn't expect. 🦮✝️🤍

“One of the main problems in the countryside is dogs. Muslims don’t like dogs.” Liberal commentator complains the British countryside is racist and Muslims avoid going there because too many people walk their dogs, which are haram in Islam. These people are really insane.

@teachermother1 Thank you for saying this. I too have noticed the gaslighting.

My almost-13yo is selling soap at an "entirely kid-run" craft market today. It is a really neat opportunity, and I'm glad it exists, but the market is absolutely not entirely kid-run, and it's worth thinking about why we tell such lies.

@pegobry_en Also works with teenage daughters.

Wife: "I feel off, and so stressed, I don’t know what’s going on." Me (who has been noticing signs for two days): "Do you want the explanation? But first you have to promise not to get angry." "…Ok." "When’s the last time you had your period." (Rolling eyes.) "That’s not it." (Pulls out phone, scrolls through calendar app.) "…" "…" "…" "Oh." "Yeah." Track your wife’s cycle. Biggest relationship hack ever.

Also I have a personal trainer so I just do what he says and that's probably why Im fixed instead of hurting myself further. I wouldnt know what to do otherwise.

@BillyM2k It can be fixed. Took me a year of strength training my hamstrings and waking up a sleepy glute. Also got a firmer mattress and that made a huge difference too.

is it just a rule that after you’re 40 you just have lower back pain forever

@allie__voss @mkhammer I just watched Bend It Like Beckham today. Ha.

I’m sorry, but if you’re a girl who grew up in the United States in the early 2000s….please be serious No one told you that

@WarClandestine *whispers*it's not about that king. It's about This One ✝️*

I never understood why the Dems started these “No Kings” protests. Trump has not done anything that could be considered authoritarian or tyrannical. But it just hit me. I don’t think it’s for anything he’s done yet. I think it’s for something the Dems know he is GOING to do. I think the Dems know Trump is going to use the full array of powers as POTUS, and they are preemptively establishing a narrative that Trump is a “King”, so when the time comes for Trump to go the Executive route, the Dems have already planted the idea in the public’s minds that Trump is a tyrant. This fits the Dems’ modus operandi. They preemptively establish narratives and get in front of things they know are coming. The Dems have been the most accurate indicators of what is to come, by what they squeal about most. I think they know Trump is going to do something substantial, and this is their desperate attempt to capture public opinion and mobilize mass protests/riots when Trump makes his big move.

@MyLordBebo This post content brings out a treasure trove of reprobates I'm happy to mute. Her performance and callousness is as nauseating as theirs.

🇺🇸 An Atlanta based plastic surgeonfaced multiple malpractice lawsuits for negligence after she was dancing and singing while performing surgery. One of the lawsuits comes from a family that claims the doctor left their mother brain damaged.

While it's true that weight gainers aren't in a calorie deficit, not enough respect is given to the complexity & uniqueness of metabolism. There should be discussion around the body's adaptive ability to lower BMR in response to stressors. Too much of the wrong inputs and you get a spiral of lowering BMR and metabolic health, along with a hormone profile that makes you think you're starving.

It’s not physically possible to gain weight in a caloric deficit. I’ve watched dozens of episodes of “my 600 pound life” and it seems the common thread is rejection of responsibility. They think if they can hoodwink the doctor about how much they’ve been eating, it will somehow solve their problems. Leftism is this mentality applied at scale.

@CollinRugg This is an "assholes collide" situation.

JUST IN: Brentwood Police say 'Reacher' star Alan Ritchson acted in self-defense, say no charges will be filed. The development comes as new footage appears to show Ritchson's neighbor blocking the road while he was on his motorcycle. "After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued," said the Brentwood Police Department. "Mr. Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense." "Although a potential reckless endangerment charge was considered, Mr. Ritchson declined to pursue charges." The case has been closed.

I'm listening to my 15 yo convey new concepts to her in order to write an essay and she sounds so smart and I'm like man, I used to do things like that but now I'm so old, been around so long, I mostly just go with vibes.

Just a reminder that if youre talking about him, he's winning the moment.

The loudest applause rarely builds the biggest businesses. Vision does.

This is me too. Gifted program. Areligious household. Married at 18. 3 kids. But I read Babysitters Club and then Christopher Pike. My theory is that I am critically intrinsically motivated - I require very little external validation, and I was just smart enough to figure out early the key to a good life was a good partner and doing your best by empirical observation - not merely listening to what the zeitgeist of the time was.

I wasn't going to say anything because y'all are being weird about it, but people keep sending THAT article. Why did I get married as a teenager and have a bunch of babies in my early 20s while in college as a 130+ IQ woman from a nonreligious household who ABSOLUTELY did not encourage this life path at all? I consumed a bunch of pronatalist scifi and fantasy propaganda as a young teen and took it to heart. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Did any of the other girls in my weird tiny gifted cohort group have babies? Nope. Not that I know of. They were reading different books lol. We had quite a few boys in the cohort become young dads, though. They were also reading Mormon sci-fi...

@GuruAnaerobic I like how you referenced "physical quality" specifically because non-physical qualities like maturity and grace are important too but completely external to your point obviously.

If you're posting PBs at the age of 50, it's because you didn't optimize that particular metric when you were 25. I can't think of any physical quality that can be better at 50 than when you were younger. It's great to be fitter or stronger in old age than you were when you were younger, but you are still systemically older. You're improving within reduced bandwidth.

*but not because I qualify for the SALT changes

@alz_zyd_ I pay six figures in taxes. I tried to stay on top of withholding but still I was bracing for having to pay a bit more on the 15th. Somehow even I am getting a refund. 🤯

lol everyone on reddit is freaking out because they're getting massive tax refunds because of SALT
